Bryan Pittman makes $721,668 in 2008

Author: Chris | Files under Houston Texans & NFL

Seriously… and really, I wouldn’t even mention it if he snapped the ball perfectly every time… but the truth is the guy is having a rough year, and he nearly cost us a chance to go into overtime against Jacksonville. Luckily fellow special-teams demon Matt “when the ball is in my hands, the universe craters [...]

Overtime Hangover – some quick-hit notes

Author: Chris | Files under Houston Texans & NFL

Texans sign a fullback… maybe? Official word hasn’t hit the official site yet, but according to PFT, the Texans have signed 29 year-old free-agent fullback Cecil Sapp to a one-year deal. Sapp would be the latest traveler of the Denver-to-Houston pipeline. The reason I say “maybe” is that for some reason, this story isn’t on [...]

Author: Chris | Files under Game Reviews, Houston Texans & NFL

Quick injury note: Texans starting SS C.C. Brown broke his arm against the Jaguars. Brown will have surgery this week. Our horrible secondary just got worse.

Thoughts on the budding QB controversy

Author: Chris | Files under Houston Texans & NFL

[table=30] [table=31] Matt Schaub is taking some heat this week, and while a lot of it is well-deserved, I just wanted to put some numbers out there. Nobody has done well against either of these teams so far in 2008 – and let’s also keep in mind that both of these performances for Schaub were [...]

It’s not as bad as it seems (or something)

Author: Chris | Files under Houston Texans & NFL

I’m going to try this “silver lining” thing. Full disclosure – trying to find positives in a truckload of negatives is not my forte. Not in life, not in football… not in anything. 0-2 is pretty much where we expected to be at this point Of course, the difference is that we didn’t make either [...]

No contest (again) – Titans 31 Texans 12

Author: Chris | Files under Game Reviews, Houston Texans & NFL

After yet another complete embarrassment this week, it’s going to hurt to type a lot of this, but here we go. First of all – this game wasn’t even as close as the 31-12 score. Jeff Fisher trotted out an ultra-conservative, clock-eating offense in the second half. Had they kept running their normal offense, I [...]
