Ahman Green to IR, Darius Walker is back

Author: Chris | Files under Houston Texans & NFL

UPDATE: The Texans have brought Darius Walker back into the fold. He signed to the practice squad today. Here’s the article from the official site. Not surprisingly, Ahman Green is headed for injured reserve. He sprained his left knee against Cleveland, the same knee that gave him trouble all last season. Rick Smith was smart [...]

Your Monday Night Emmitt-ism

Author: Chris | Files under Houston Texans & NFL

Regarding the Vikings and their chances to win the NFC North: “Adrian Peterson is leading the charge on the ground, and Gus Frerotte is studying the ship.” I can’t wait to hear what he has to say about the Texans next week. Last season, Emmitt referred to the Texans as a “formable pornponent,” so who [...]

Houston Texans stat of the week

Author: Chris | Files under Houston Texans & NFL

Defensive end Anthony Weaver… he of the bazillion-dollar contract. In his Houston Texans career, from 2006 to present day: 2 interceptions 1 sack I invite you to process that information and tell me how it doesn’t end in tears.

Texans force five turnovers, pick up road win

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

My god that was about the ugliest game I’ve ever seen in my life. To get their first road victory in over a calendar year, the Texans literally had to find the Bizarro World version of themselves, the Cleveland Texa– er, Browns. In the end, both Cleveland quarterbacks did their best Sage Rosenfels impersonations, and [...]

Steve Slaton is even better than we thought

Author: Chris | Files under Houston Texans & NFL

We all knew Stevie Wonder was a fantastic RB, and that he appears to be our back of the future. It kind of snuck up on me that he was actually as good as he is. He’s the #3 back in the AFC in rushing yards, trailing only Thomas Jones and fellow rookie Chris Johnson… [...]

ARGH – Earl Cochran place on Injured Reserve!

Author: Chris | Files under Houston Texans & NFL

The hits just keep on coming. …and by hits I mean hits to the face, the teeth, the groin, and the throat. Earl Cochran, arguably the Texans’ best pass-rusher aside from Mario Williams… a guy who was not a starter in title, but was getting starter snaps – is FINISHED for the year with a [...]

Thoughts on Kubiak’s postgame quotes

Author: Chris | Files under Houston Texans & NFL

You can read all the post-game quotes here. Below, I’m going to respond to some selected quotes – because I have issues with a lot of what he said. Kubiak quote: (on the interception at the end of the game) “The thing that you are trying to do right there is just get yourself in [...]

Death, Taxes, and horrible Texans defense

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

Another close loss that never felt as close as it was. Yeah, the Texans hung tough with the Colts in a game pretty much everyone expected them to get blown out in. But so what. Are you excited that we didn’t get run out of the building? Yeah, neither am I. From the files of [...]

Remaining schedule at a glance…

Author: Chris | Files under Houston Texans & NFL

Houston @ Indianapolis Let’s see… Sage is the quarterback, our secondary is still getting shredded against a quickly-improving Colts team led by a certain pretty decent quarterback, Peyton Manning. Oh, and it’s a road game. Even the optimistic side of me can’t come up with a single reason we win this game. LOSS Houston @ [...]

Will Demps is probably not happy

Author: Chris | Files under Houston Texans & NFL

Demps has fallen out of favor – and completely off the depth chart – in recent weeks. We all know what he accomplished last year… but this season has gone from bad to worse for Demps, who earlier in the season lost his starting job to veteran free agent acquisition Eugene Wilson. Demps continued to [...]
