Bloody face might be one thing, but getting poked in the eye, or losing a few teeth might help him decide that face mask might not be the best one to use.

Incredible...really.

I remember when we use to only expect those kinds of stats from the O. Its not all about stats, its about W's, but this D is so damn fun to watch!!!!!

The Rushing Offense will be moving up the rankings tomorrow as well after yesterdays performance.

This D is not only fun to watch, but it's the kind of D that can take you places once the playoffs begin. Apple Cart, Horse, blah, blah. I know. Still, Great D + great running game = playoff success.

Talking about unfamiliar territory!

In Wade We Trust!!!

Go Texans!!!

And we didn't even need Mario Williams, a real nose tackle or a real CB opposite Joseph to do it.

That is the unbelievable thing. We're doing this with so many holes on the defensive side of the ball.

Give the man another draft and FA.....and wow.

LOL, you beat me to it. They are getting better by the game. Next season they will be true killers.

Rick Smith's personnel decisions the past three years are looking pretty amazing! Once again, I point you towards the '09 off-season:

Free agent: Antonio Smith

draft:
B. Cushing
Barwin
Caldwell
Quin
A.Hill
Casey
McCain
Nolan

UDFAs: Foster, Jamison.

That is an amazing off-season. Smith's deal looks like a major bargain now. Cushing and Foster are All-Pros. Barwin, Casey, and Quin are good starters with higher ceilings. McCain, Nolan, Jamison, and Caldwell are all impact quality depth. Only Hill was a miss.

Not since Jack Lambert has a linebacker looked this freaking frightening.

Is the kid going to fk his face up for an eternity?

He's played like Lambert this year too ..... cant say enough about his performance so far. NFL Defensive MVP ?


The Texans may be #1 in yards allowed but they are 3rd in the stat that matters most defensively - Points Allowed - behind San Fran (14.8) and Baltimore (16.2) allowing 17.4 per game.


Who woulda thought San Fran would be this good after the Texans dismantled them in the preseason .....

His prostate?

Perhaps a statue of Bum and Son would be better.

I should probably point out that Mario Williams still leads this team in sacks for this season. He won't for much longer, I hope, but let's not short change the man, hmmm?

Oh, and Brooks Reed for DROY!

Good post.

I like how you did the impossible of acknowledging Mario's ability and praising Brooks Reed as well.

[Wolf]

hopefully they can keep it up.

also what is also pretty impressive.. all other teams have had their bye weeks already except
Week 11 Houston, Indianapolis, New Orleans, Pittsburgh

Jackson has fewer INTs than Shaun Cody for the season.

And Wade Smith has just as many TD's as CJ2YPC.
