Better than the raiders Stretch
Reading through this thread, don't you all feel like you are overrating your team....I think you are. Shaub sucks balls, Slaton cannot carry an entire load the whole season. Mario is overrated, the defense sucks, Owen Daniles wants to be the highest paid TE in the league while being slightly above average at best, Dunta Robinson doesn't want to play for you all and wont sign a contract, the secondary blows more than Shaub blows, and Andre Johnson can't wait for his contract to end so he can get the outta dodge.
I don't know, just trying to help you all see the light. No thanks necessary, I do what I can to help : )
Better than the raiders Stretch
The raiders are on their way bud, but thats neither here nor there,this is a texans thread, so lets try and keep the topic texans, okay. We would all appreciate you doing that for us and going off on tangents.
Jeez, some people.
lol atrain
lol mma
I'm looking forward to seeing what Kubiak can do with James Casey, he can be a wildcard in this offense that defenses are going to have to worry about. I have seen him play in person a couple of times, he is a baller.
http://www.examiner.com/x-778-Housto...p-report-Day-1
* Practice started with defensive unit walk-throughs on Field 1 (the field closest to the bleachers). QBs and WRs worked on Field 2 while the Hogs worked in their corner of paradise on the north end of Fields 2 and 3. Fans are able to stand beyond the endzones of Field 1 and 2, or sit in the bleachers along the east sideline of Field 1 (where the photos above were taken).
* Brice McCain won the 'first on the field' award for Day 1. He was accompanied by Glover Quin, Matterral Richardson, and John Busing.
* Troy Nolan and John Busing stood out size-wise among the safeties (similar to Brandon Harrison). We'll see if they can cover and run.
* Individual unit walkthroughs were followed by the 'movement' warm-up routine that was put in place last season. I saw no organized stretching after practice.
* Johnny Holland put the linebackers through agility drills along the lines of three-cone drills.
* Frank Bush had the look of a coordinator as he did his MBWA's (managing by walking around) among the defensive units.
* The Hogs are back in their little corner of heaven, trying to out-finesse and out muscle one another. Duane Brown appears to be ripped up compared to this time a year ago.
* David Gibbs tossed long balls to his DBs in simulated coverage. The first ooh-ahh of the day went to David Pittman who made a great one handed snag of a ball well over his head.
* The first groans came when Busing and Nolan consecutively brick-handed balls on simulated 10 yard outs thrown by Gibbs.
* The first look at the first team defense in a unit walk-through on Field 1 had Antonio Smith, Deljuan Robinson, Amobi Okoye, and Mario on the line with Chaun Thompson at Sam, DeMeco at Mike and Diles at Will. Smith and Mario flip flopped depending on offensive set.
* Tim Bulman and Shaun Cody shared second team reps behind Amobi.
* Second team LBs were Cato June at Sam (surprise), Kevin Bentley in the middle and Adibi at the Will.
* Barber and Harrison were second team safeties.
* The RB pecking order appears to be Slaton, Moats, Chris Brown, and Foster.
* Orlovsky throws a pretty tight ball. Strong arm. There's tools in that toolbox. It will be interesting to see if Kubiak can get the consistency he wants out of the U-Conn kid.
* Rex looks lost, but remember he's working with third stringers and throwing outs to Boomer Grigsby.
* Sighted: Some guy wearing a Favre Jets jersey and cap. When will it end?
* Connor Barwin made his dramatic entrance about 40 minutes into practice.
* First team offense and defense spent a lot of time running 7 on 7. Andre Johnson literally left Jacques Reeves in the dirt on a 50 yard bomb/TD.
* Heard in the crowd: "Mario just has this other gear" as he blew by Eric Winston and Duane Brown on consecutive pass rushes. Yes, Mario looked like an All Pro today.
* Heard in the crowd II: "He's a lot quicker than I thought" as fans watched Arian Foster take a screen down the far sideline.
* Not heard: Bill Kollar. I was waiting for something Richard Smith-like out of him but never really heard him over the curious soundtrack which featured Michael Jackson, Queen and The Who. Same with David Gibbs. He appears to be more of a teacher and less of a screamer than his predecessor Jon Hoke.
* Unfortunately, backup running back Clifton Dawson suffered what appeared to be a serious knee/leg injury. He was in a short pattern and went down without contact - looked like a knee giving way as he made a cut.
* The first team punter today was a Juggs machine operated by Kris Brown. Obviously they are saving Matt Turk's old leg reps.
* Jacoby, David Anderson and Andre Davis fielded punts.
* The practice ended after full team 11 on 11.

I heard Cushing just got signed and is on his way back according to the chron.com I guess they plug him in at starting Sam.
Yeah...they mentioned it in the article.
You all's secondary blows ass.
lol texans
Schaub does not suck. He just has had freak injuries these past two years. Three different players were fined for their hits on Schaub. He doesn't get those hits, the dude will pass for over 4,000 yards and 25+ TDs this season. Slaton can't carry the load, you're right, but the Texans have gotten a number two back that will get 10 carries a game (around there). Arian Foster is that back. Dude looked great yesterday. Mario is not overrated at all. Nothing needs to be said about him. He's a beast. Owen Daniels' situation is fine as of now. Dunta Robinson has disappointed the entire fanbase with this crap that he is pulling. Hopefully he gets his act together. He needs to realize he is not the elite CB he thinks he is, and settle for the contract the Texans were offering him.
Lets stay away from the injury excuse. I use cold hard facts in my assesment of Shaub, like his abysmal effort in the redzone. Werent you all like ranked 32 in redzone efficiancy or something. Mario is not a beast. Hes an above average starter, thats about it. Nothing special there.
I supposed 30 sacks the past three years happens by chance.I believe that only two other players have more sacks the past three years than Mario.
You don't have to like the Texans, but don't say things that make you look dumb.

Try 12th in Red Zone efficiency.
And Mario is a monster...one of the best LBs at getting to the QB in the league.
lol baited by trolls
Hi Stretch!
Mario isn't a linebacker stupid.http://www.stampedeblue.com/2009/3/7...winning-factor

LMAO..my bad...I was just thinking about DWare, and for some reason had LBs on the brain...He's a DE...I know...just typing stupid.
DWare, now there is a beast of a defensive player right there friends!
Mario is a pretty good player by the way. He should have another solid year. I like the development of the texans D so far. A couple of more drafts heavy on the D, or some defensive FA landings, and they'll take that division over.
Thank God Cushing finally cut his hair
He would have done it anyway. Houston heat.
He looks a little crazy. Like Private Pile crazy. I like that.
Anyone know if they will show the game on Saturday here in SA?
I was wondering the same about Austin.
I checked TVguide.com and Austin is going to show the game on the CW!!!! SWEET!!!
