Travis Johnson traded to Chargers for 5th rounder.
whats with farve chop blocking in the preseason?
that
you just cant do things like that.
still not as bad as when 4ccs brother used to chop block me
that was ruthless
The D actually pulled it together after that first big run. Still a lot of arm tackles and hits with no wrapping up though. What I can't figure out is why we are not throwing the ball to our Pro Bowl WR.
probably cause its the preseason and you need someone to complement said wide receiver
1. Preaseason
2. double teamed right off the line.
I like me some Dan Orlovski. He looks DAMN good.Stays in the pocket, not flustered, can move. Great GREAT mechanics when he throws.
If Schaub can't get it done, I think Orlovski is a winnER!
is it me or did steve slaton look like ron dayne
Yeah Slaton looked a little slow getting to the line, BUT, the offense looked fantastic on that drive near the end of the half.
He's got all the tools but his decision making is still very questionable. Give him a year under Kubiak and I think he will be a very, very solid backup.
He put on about 10lbs of muscle during the off-season. I hope that doesn't effect his quickness through the hole.
The line didn't get ANY push off of the ball during the game. That doesn't concern me much since they were going up against the best run D of the past 2 seasons.
Nah, gaining 10 lbs of muscle will not take away from his quickness, but it will help him in goal line situations and hitting the holes harder.
Slaton will be fine this year, and have another great year.
Just read the tweet from the houston chronicle that Jacoby Jones was carried off the field.
FWIW.
Sucks for him..but he wasn't going to a factor anyway. David Anderson is firmly entrenched in that 4th WR spot.
Dunta Robinson ended his holdout today....now we at least have a decent secondary
It was a big move for him to skip out on training camp and about money. He is back and playing for a contract so I'm sure he will have a good season, if his knee holds out.
I just read this little tidbit of information and thought it was interesting:
"Teams were successful (picking up 40% of the needed yardage to move the chains on first down, 60% on second down, or 100% on third or fourth down) throwing the ball at him on 56% of their attempts. That placed Robinson 69th amongst corners. He allowed 8.9 yards per attempt -- that's 78th. He only broke up six of the 51 passes thrown at him."
I don't see why he is demanding top 3 corner money if his numbers were this bad. He should be happy with the 6-year $50 million deal he was offered. I am now on the " Dunta Robinson" bandwagon.
You think Dunta automatically makes your secondary decent??? NO he doesn't brah. Your secondary still blows.
Typical texan fan, overrating texan players. And you wonder why he's demanding all this money...its cause you fools tell him he's great when he's really not.
Gotta love these trolls
Texas QB Matt Schaub status for opener still uncertain
HOUSTON (AP) -- Houston quarterback Matt Schaub returned to practice Tuesday, though it's not clear whether he will start against the Jets in this Sunday's season-opener.
Schaub took half the snaps in practice, his first significant work since the injury Aug. 31 against the Vikings. He is listed as day-to-day.
"He took a big step forward (Tuesday)," Texans coach Gary Kubiak said. "He's progressing toward getting ready to go, so it's a positive move forward for him."
Kubiak stopped short of saying Schaub, who has missed five games in each of the last two seasons with injuries, would start against the Jets. He did announce that Rex Grossman would be Houston's No. 2 quarterback this week.
Grossman, who led Chicago to the Super Bowl in 2007, overtook Dan Orlovsky in the compe ion to back up Schaub after throwing two touchdowns in Houston's preseason finale. Orlovsky, a seven-game starter for Detroit last season, was scheduled to be the backup before Grossman's recent performance that came after he missed two weeks with an injury.
"Matt is hobbled, so they've got to be ready to go," Kubiak said. "But as I told Dan and Rex, I'm leaning toward Rex's experience and the way he handled himself, handled the team the other night. I'm kind of drawing from what I've seen him do in the past and (am) just very comfortable with him right now."
Grossman was excited about the decision, but said it won't change anything he does.
"I've got to prove myself every practice and every time I go out there," he said. "You get graded and you get judged basically every time you throw the football. So I'm still going to have that same sense of urgency."
The status of receiver Kevin Walter and safety Eugene Wilson are also uncertain because of injuries.
Walter, who was second on the team with 899 yards receiving and eight touchdowns last season, has a hamstring injury. Wilson was injured by an illegal crackback block delivered by Brett Favre for which the quarterback was fined $10,000.
Another question mark for the Texans is how rookie linebacker Brian Cushing and veteran cornerback Dunta Robinson will perform on Sunday. Cushing missed all four preseason games because of a sprained knee, but is healthy and expected to start at strongside linebacker.
Middle linebacker DeMeco Ryans is confident that Cushing is up to the task, but has been trying to help the first-round pick in the days leading up to his NFL debut.
"I stay on him, always asking him questions to make sure he's into what we're doing, into our game plan and making sure we're both on the same page," Ryans said. "The more me, him and Zac (Diles) communicate the easier it's going to be for all three of us."
Robinson missed all of camp in a contract holdout before reporting on Sunday. He is expected to start.
"The thing that concerns me is they have not all been working together, but it's time to go to work together," Kubiak said. "I think they all understand it too. So the sense of urgency, the attention to detail in getting ready to play, has got to be good anyway but it better be great this week."
Robinson practiced with the team for the first time Tuesday and was encouraged afterward.
"I thought I'd feel a little rusty, but I felt fine, like I had been out there for a while," he said. "I would say it was a good start ... it felt good to be back out there with the fellas and running around a little bit."

Schaub, what a puss.
lol djohn2008, a guy who doesn't want to debate football and only name call.
Grossman looked good against TB. I hope he comes out with something to prove and not like the guy we got used to seeing when the Bears were trailing.
