It'd be nice if he got a few more scores though. Kubiak should put Andre in as tightend in our goalline formation and get him some scores considering the majority of the time we get down there is because of him. Our tight ends should be thankful for AJ.

Some people were saying he's past his best days. I just think he's saving himself for the big games. I expect him to go beast mode in the playoffs - think Larry Fitzgerald when he took Arizona to the Super Bowl that one year and nearly won it against the Steelers with a go-ahead Touchdown late.

Just for the record since people are loving to write AJ off, Rice's best year of his career came next year in AJ's progression.

There is a huge difference between a 30 year old RB and a 30 year old WR.

[edwardc5637]

He is simply the best at what he does.

[wtp]

I've never seen a players health been talked about so much when it's clearly not been an issue.

Andre Johnson has been clutch. Every time we need a big play Andre always seems to be able to make it.

He's been extremely focused on winning and will do anything to win. These same things can be said about Schaub as well.

Nowadays everybody wanna talk like they got something to say
But nothin comes out when they move their lips
Just a buncha gibberish
And mutha****as act like they forgot about Dre

[thunderkyss]

A quiet 1000 yard season.

[HTown2ATX]

'Dre Day 2012, all day every mf-ing day!!!!! He's been my favorite player from the get go and every game I have been specifically hoping for him to ball and the last 2 games he has been showing exactly why he is STILL, IMO, one of the best 3 WR's in the league!

I'm hoping in the playoffs he gets his Fitzgerald type moments!

[klockWork]

Maybe I'm nitpicking here but I think AJ leaves a lot of yards on the field after a catch. I would like to see him do a quick juke, spin or a stiff arm at those DB's in front of him insteading of just covering up and pushing forward after a tackle.

Look at Brandon Marshall, that guy leads the league in YAC every season because he knows the superiority in size and strength is always in his favor after a catch. That guy is simply a bully running with the ball.

I look at AJ and I see King Kong behind that facemask. I can't imagine the damage that can be done with a simple stiff arm on a 200lb DB's.

Fortunately for CB's, AJ is too much of a gentleman for those type of things.
But don't expect the same courtesy from him in the Madden World.
Ahhh. Thank god there's Madden....

AJ was never gone. Never underestimate heart of this man.

Is Andre Johnson on the decline? Nope. (Karen Warren/Chronicle)
There has never been a receiver in the history of football to do what Andre Johnson has done in the past week.

There has never even been a receiver in the history of football to do what he’s done in two games.

Johnson caught an astounding 461 receiving yards in back-to-back games, a feat that’s never been accomplished before. He did it within a five-day span, just weeks after cries of his aging body and questions about whether he was finished circulated.

This wasn’t just among spectators and reporters. After his slow start, there were personnel people around the league who wondered if his decline had started.

This week, in two spectacular games, Johnson answered with a resounding, “No.”


On Sunday against the Jaguars, he caught 14 passes for a career-high 273 yards, including a walk-off 48-yard touchdown catch in overtime. Then, after playing five quarters and only getting three days of rest, at a time when another 31-year-old’s body might feel the strain of fatigue, Johnson caught nine passes for 188 yards. Six of those catches and 101 yards came in the fourth quarter and overtime.

“Andre is rolling right now,” Texans coach Gary Kubiak said. “He’s got confidence, he’s playing his tail off, he’s healthy and he’s back in the best condition I’ve seen him in in three years.”

Two games have catapulted Johnson from 21st in receiving yards to second, behind only Calvin Johnson who got upstaged on Thursday.

Andre Johnson’s total topped Chad Johnson, who had 450 yards in two games in 2006. And Chad Johnson didn’t do it in the same week.

This was slightly bothering me during the game. The commentators kept going on and on about CJ and giving updated yard totals for him but were barely talking about AJ's yards.

How soon do we forget about his TD vs Arizona...

[76Texan]

Thanks for the piece 417.
Repped

[rush2112mn]

Hell yeah he is back AND HEALTHY....

He really gives credit to the training staff. Those guys ...whatever they are doing....it is working to perfection. Hell give those guys a raise because Andre is back.

He is also playing with chip on his sholder.....he heard all the whispers from the public even some Texan fans who thought..." he is too old" "he is damaged goods"...."better get a new number 1 receiver"...."can we trade him?"..."how many weeks will he last?"....ect.....

Thank you critics....because you just woke the sleeping Andre the Giant.....
And he is angry.......Give them hell Andre.....

Right, I didn't even know Aj had 188 till after the game, looking at the stats. I figured he had about 7 or 8 catches, & probably just over 100 yards.

I was wrong about his ability to stretch the field. He had a forty something a thirty something, a couple of 20s...... & there was that big one Matt over threw him on (yeah, I was wrong about that too).

Yeah, he stretched the $hit out of that field.
