I think that because they had 5 last year, they should be able to get 2 more this year is what the point was.

He always seemed to make plays too.

If somebody else makes the squad over Jamison, the better the team will be.

The best thing is for us to hit between 80-90% on all of those choices; it will then be a team effort that will give us the best chance to go all the way!!!!!!!!!!!!

Whooo, I'm pumped!

Thanks for the poll. :whip:

That's what she said. And sometimes he says that too, but I'm not one to judge.

I think Foster & Tate combining for 3800 total yards from scrimmage is realistic. Not that the other choices aren't, just this choice being the most probable.

[ObsiWan]

This was too easy...
JJ Watt, Antonio Smith, Crick, Jamison: 18 sacks combined

I could see the DEs averaging a tad over one QB sack/game.

[speedfreek]

Should have added more intriguing options like:

a) Keenum throws more than 1 TD pass in a preseason game..

or

b) Dwight Jones gets suspended for running his mouth..

or

c) Kubiak has a + percentage throwing the challenge flag..


That would have made for a better poll..

I thought he could get a couple at least

Right now, I feel a LOT more positive about the defensive possibilities there than the offensive ones. Schaub is hobbling around and there is no right side of our prestigious O-Line.

I really hope that this is an over reaction of sorts concerning Caldwell & Butler as many have said in this and other threads. Both have starting experience and will have the whole offseason to 'gel' which seems to be the biggest factor in our ZBS. I'm not sure there will be a tremendous drop off in production. I hope neither steps up to replace Winston's guaranteed false start & holding penalties. It seemed like almost every time a flag flew on offense it ended with "number 73". I screamed it so often at the TV last year my wife asked "How do you know that? The official hasn't said anything yet." I was seldom wrong.

If these two experienced guys can just coordinate who keeps his block and who peels off for the second level we'll see them have some success without the auto 3-5 yd dingers we got used to seeing last year.

That's funny.

Thats going to be tough. We play a lot of get after the QB defenses this year. If Schaub has to throw the ball that much I can't see him making it 16 games.

why not three years in a row healthy. Thats not bad.

Has to be JoJo and Kareem getting 7 picks. Our secondary is going to be feasting on so many poorly thrown balls due to the havoc our front 7 is going to create. I can't see JoJo getting more than 3 (who is going at him?) but I can see Kareem bringing down 4-5 due to JoJo's cover skills (ala Fred Smoot effect due to Champ Bailey).

That one does seem really plausible.

7 picks between those two would be really good no matter how it came.

[BullBlitz]

I voted for JJ and KJ interceptions, although I don't believe that any of the choices are likely to occur.

Some people like to assert Kubiak is emotionless on the sideline but if anything the Texans may not get some tight calls because he regularly gets in the refs ear holes and profanity is generally involved. It isn't televised much because it is so easy to lip read.

[badboy]

Gary throws flag based on what upstairs tells him. Critique should be on them and he did seem better last season. I think more plays will be reviewed now and he will make even fewer calls.
