I can’t find an online link to it, but I just caught the Texans/Jaguars segment from this week’s episode of Inside the NFL. DeMeco Ryans was mic’ed up for the game, and his intensity was jumping off the screen. Watching those highlights was of course sickening, but when you specifically watch DeMeco’s range of emotions, [...]

Last week, I wondered aloud if John Busing would get the majority of the snaps at strong safety, despite not officially being named the starter. Imagine my surprise when Busing, in week three, was actually named the starter. I’m sure my reaction was similar to most: “Wow, he’s shown some flashes, but John Busing is [...]

Wow, three weeks in – and we’re down to one undefeated team. The Beer Belly Ninjas stand alone at 3-0, and for good measure, they also lead the league in points. I can’t help but notice that someone picked up JaMarcus Russell. That person will remain nameless… but I can hardly blame him. The Texans [...]

First, let me get these two things out of the way. 1. Yes, the “pass interference” call on Kevin Walter was terrible, but in no way, shape, or form did the referees cost this team a win today. 2. Yes, the Chris Brown fumble was costly, but what reason do we have to believe that [...]

In their history, the Texans have continually refused to spend a high draft pick on a safety. Sure, they’ve had other glaring needs – but of all the position groups on this team, none has been held together with more duct tape and twist ties than safety. We all know that the best safety in [...]

I thought Chester Pitts was going to be gone after this season already, but now it’s a lock… and it’s really sad that “Mr. Texan,” as Eric Winston calls him, had to go out like this. Pitts had microfracture surgery on his knee today, as well as work to repair to his MCL. He is [...]

Last year when the Texans laid a monstrous egg in Oakland, I said something like “hopefully the best thing to come out of this game is that Gary Kubiak can use it as an example to show these guys how far they can fall when they start to think a little too much of themselves.” [...]

I’ll hit this with more detail later, but I’ve got a very busy Sunday afternoon in front of me, so quickly: The “soft” talk is over I begrudgingly brought the “soft” talk up last week myself, but that is over, over, OVER. Sorry Titan fans, Andre Johnson OWNS your secondary Unfortunately Andre didn’t get a [...]

The play that allowed the Texans to keep the ball on the Jacoby Jones bobble was not a bad call. It’s the correct call… it’s a HORRIBLE RULE (and it is a horrible, horrible rule), not a horrible call. Oh, also – the head of the NFL’s Competition Committee is your head coach, Jeff Fisher… [...]

Apology quick-hit… Dunta Robinson I’m sorry I wrote an entry about it. I’m so so so so so sick of it. (Also, I can’t believe the shoes turned out to be a big deal, but hardly anything was made of his “we’re here to get paid” quote after the game.) Quick stop in Houston quick-hit [...]
