Death to Google Ads! Texans Talk Tip Jar! 🍺😎👍
Thanks for your support!
there has been no real evidence so far, as texans fans we are use to the worst so for sanitys sake Im hoping he only misses reualr season and will be back for playoffs. we can work around cushing im happy it wasnt our qb this time. nobody can replace shaub
We lost Mario Williams last year and had a hobbled Demeco for much of last year, and we didn't lose a beat. Obviously, Cushing is more important on defense than they were, but we should be able to continue to play at a really high level. Hopefully Dobbins is ready.
Not sure it's an accurate comparison. DeMeco wasn't QBing this defense, THIS iteration of our defense.
Losing Cushing for the year will be a SIGNIFICANT blow to this team. Book it.
Not likely to happen.
I dont understand the over reaction to the Cushing photo...guys are walking past him into the locker room and showing love/respect...
What are guys supposed to do? Ignore him. Act like he's invisible?
As far as kubiak saying he's very concerned, his star middle lb left the game with a knee injury. If he's not very concerned he's a dumb ass.
I think I'll wait until I hear something definitive until I panic.

But it's not a death knell. Yes, it sucks. Big time. But good teams learn to overcome. Next man up.
It seems like if he tore his ACL he would have been carted off.

We should ask Philly if we can have Demeco back. Is Sharpton available soon?
Meh. Last sentence of your post is typical cliched sports tripe. It's garbage. You can be a good team all you want. The Texans were a good, nay, great team last year too but couldn't overcome all the injuries. You can play utopian fantasy "they should win if they're really good!" stuff all you want. Losing Brian Cushing for anything near the rest of the season is disastrous.

You can walk on a torn ACL.
Is throwing Mercilus in there and getting him some reps out of the question at this point? I can't see how he would be worse than Mister Alexander who will be starting once Dobbins goes down. He looks like Rudy in there playing Cushing's position. He's so tiny looking.

It is a big deal. However, it is something that can be overcome. Because our lack of depth at the position, we need to be surprised by someone like Mister Alexander, get Sharpton back at 100%, or make a move to acquire a LB that is an asset in nickel and dime defense... It stinks but we did not lose our QB. Team will need to adjust. Those of you that hate the conservative offensive playcalling, may get your wish. The Texans may transition to a game plan involving greater expectations for the offense.
Mercilus is an OLB though. Would they shift Barwin or Reed inside?
Should have never let 'Meco go. Said it then and saying it now.
Lopez just tweeted that Cushing did tear his ACL and will be out for the season. Not confimred yet....How long does it take for an ACL to heal? Any free agent ILB on the market??
First major injury this season. It was coming, sooner or later.... It was coming. Lets all pray for good news.

I thought Bradie James wore the green helmet?Brian Cushing is kiiiiiiiinda the QB of the defense.
Look, I'm not writing off the season. I'm being realistic. Brian Cushing going out for a significant period of time is a big freakin' deal PRECISELY BECAUSE our depth at the position is not very good.
Don't know. Don't even know if that's viable. Just thinking out loud. The talent behind Cushing is really poor. Dobbins is a good player on a short field. He's a got a talent for being in the right place at the right time but in space he's going to get exposed badly. I just think the best shot we have at filling this hole is maybe going to come from our stacked pile of OLB's.
Why would they have made him questionable to return if it was a torn ACL?
If they knew it was a season ending injury, he'd be listed as doubtful or out.
I think its a serious knee sprain that will knock him out 6-8 weeks but he'll be back
Either way the Demeco Ryans move is looking pretty stupid now
