time for victory formation
... do they do that in preseason?
Gus Johnson is killing me...just called Jeramiah Johnson, Dwayne Johnson...
Sweet, the Texans have The Rock in the backfield. Do you smell what The Rock is cookin?

Micheal Irvin can smell rock cooking from a mile away.
Rushing 178 to 13. Man. Go Foster and Johnson!
I'm kicking myself for passing on Foster in my FF draft this morning
Redzone Offense still a huge concern. You don't beat the good teams kicking FGs.
How long until we here the cowgirl fans, who really don't acknowledge the Texans, wonder over to our blogs explaining how vanilla the preseason is?
The Texans played well (maybe a few more FG's instead of TD's than I'd like to see) and I don't want to take anything away from that but I really wish the Cowboys had played better. They were having one of those "Can't get out of your own way" kind of nights and I think we'd have learned more about how much better/worse the Texans are than the Cowboys if that hadn't been the case.
Still a lot of fun. Great game (for us). I hope the real one in a few weeks looks kind of like that. I also hope the Texans don't go out expecting it to be that easy the next time around.
It is. Preseason smack is weak.
Yeah and so are cowgirl fans who say they could care less about the Texans yet post regularly on our blogs
That is pretty lame. It isn't either or. I don't talk noise. I talk football and have since 05. I just think preseason stuff is hilarious. You can try this line elsewhere. The real fans know who I am. Too bad that is becoming rare around here.
I can't say I agree with you there. While the final score is obviously irrelevant, the first team showed some promise tonight from what I saw. I'm not overly excited, but it's good to see that the Texans play physical football. While it's a given that the schemes will be vanilla, Each team plays their starters to make plays.
Agree. The Texans looked really sharp. The Cowboys didn't. Last weel the roles were kind of reversed. I didn't even watch tonight. Kept up on here. I'm just a person that thinks these games are so volatile with schemes, what they are working on, etc . I don't take much from them. My concern from the Cowboys is their O-line being healthy for the 1st game and if they can get it done this year. The Texans is staying consistent from week to week and red zone. I already admitted last week that the Texans are stacked talent wise this year and could be better than the Cowboys. I just don't put stock in preseason because who knows what they are working on.
Yep.
It was just a preseason game. All the Texans did today was calm down their fans and give Wade Phillips something to use to fire up his team in the regular season. There's no way it goes like this in the real game... but I'd love it if it did!

I completly expect to see another Cowboys team during the regualr season, and while we will have OD, we will be without Cushing. And we have yet to see what our young backfield will look like when they are facing a healthy cowboys team. I heard Kubiak mention when asked about not showing too much, that there are several weeks between their regualr season match-up and it only makes sense to play to win.
Yep.

The tables were turned this week. We were playing a Super Bowl, and they were practicing.
It's just insane to think anything of this game, anything too positve anyway.
Neither starting tackle was in the game. How many sacks did we get?
Okay I get the spirit of your post, but don't over humble the Texans by their effort. I don't think the Saints were playing their super bowl last week, but they showed up and played football. Today we showed up and played football.
Last week they wanted to put on a show for their Home crowd, just like we did today.
That preseason game meant nothing to us, just like today's game meant nothing to us.
I want to see them maintain this focus over four quarters of sixteen games.
The Texans have never done that; but if they do, they will be tough to beat.
Okay i can dig it. I wonder how many players fighting for jobs are worried about showing too much. I will shout from the highest tower that theses games mean nothing as far as W's and L's, but to say these games mean NOTHING than begs me to ask the question of why you even watched? I bet the players wanted to win.

I just read that the crowd noise was the reason Felix Jones missed the pitch from Romo and turned it over. Romo had called an audible, and Jones couldn't hear it because the crowd got louder. Romo's going to start using some hand signals in audibles now.
He wasn't even looking for the ball - he was looking more for the blocking and lanes first, then realized he oughta secure the ball first.
Did we operate out of the Shotgun that much last year in Preseason. Is that a Preseason thing or a Dennison thing?
Hell it seemed like Schaub was in the Gun less than 20 times all of last season.
I picked him up in our 3rd rd and all the other dudes were like, "What? Who?"

My only complaint for this game was Phill Simms making excuses for the Moo Boys. Other than that, it was a good day for the Texans.
What kind of guys are you playing FF with? Can I play in this league? Lol!
I know that Foster isn't some big name guy and all, but anyone in Houston should know full well about Foster by now if they pay any attention to the NFL or this franchise.
