VY Status?

Well, next week looks like a critical divisional game and it comes against our "friends" from TN. VY went down with a quadricep injury and his status for next week is uncertain. If anyone finds an update on his condition, can you pass it along?

While we need every advantage we can get, the game would not be nearly as much fun if VY is not in the lineup.

I have to say that there is a part of me that wants to hose all those VY fans who paid top dollar for their tickets just to see VY.

And all those intending to scalp their tickets to VY fans.

I'll be watching his status closely. While I'd like him to be in the game so there are no excuses if we win, I'd rather listen to the excuses with a "W" instead of talking about his last minute TD run with an "L". :texflag:

TC,

I guess I had not given that aspect of the game much thought. The only thing that would be sweeter would be to send all of those VY fans home in a sour mood after the Texans shut him down and pull off a much needed victory.
 
I hope VY doesnt play.

I would rather face Collins.

Maybe we can actually have a home-field advantage in our own stadium against the Titans this year.
 
Fun? Who cares, I say. You think the colts, falcons and jag fans were saying "aw man its not going to be nearly as fun to beat the texans without Andre Johnson"? We need a "W" and I'll take any advantage that comes our way. That being said, it would be a little sweeter if we could put a whooping on VY and the titans next week!

IMO, If we can't beat VY at home, then we have no business talking about a winning season...and yes, after suffering through losing, and boring, seasons, I do want a "fun"/entertaining game.

Once again, if we can't beat him at home, how successful will we be the remainder of the season?

Ok, you think Jag fans are saying "how successful can we truly be the rest of the year, we beat the Texans but they didn't have Andre Johnson"? In this league nobody takes pity on you and I'll take any advantage and any "W" that comes our way right now. Especially since we've had the luck with injuries we've had.

Jaay,

Obviously, I am not speaking from the team's perspective - I am looking at it from a fan's perspective. Yes, I want to see the Texans beat VY at home. Yes, I would like to see how much progress we have made from last year. Yes, I would also like to see if our "first round" defensive line can stop VY. Yes, I also want to win.

I am sure the team just wants to win and would probably like to have him sit this particular game. However, since I continue to shell out bucks to watch the games, I am personally hoping we beat this kid at home.

I want the same things as you, I'm just saying I can wait another year to beat VY and the Titans at home if its going to give us an advantage, thats all.
 
I am more concerned about our offense against a great Titans defense more than anything else. Not like VY has been lighting up the league with his great performances this season. We need a win, I don't give two craps if it is against VY or Kerry.

I was thinking the same thing. Same to the ones that are so called Texans fans rooting for VY against us.

I see your point but I want this win vs VY and like other posters have said I feel I have paid top dollar for PSL's, Texans gear and tickets for six years and I want to be entertained.
 
I think all this Vince hate is misplaced. Vince Young is just a talented local guy who wanted to be here. Bud is athe guy who didn't. Hate him.

Trash the Nashvillains. Beat bud's big butt badly.
 
It's Tenn D we better worry about, not the media's fav darling!! VY, KC, who cares, as long as we don't repeat what we did yesterday!!!! NO FREAKING excuses!!! Just go out and play some hard nosed football!!!!:texflag:
 
We would've beat the Jags if we could have finished our drives with a TD in the redzone. If we do that this week, we win.

According to KFFL, VY is reluctant to speak about his injury, or whether or not he will play this coming week. Methinks that this is good news for the Texans, either way.
 
Well considering the way that we play against back up quarterbacks, it might not be bad if Vince plays.
 
VY had an MRI today and is considered day to day.

He started limping as he ran out of bounds, right before he was pushed out.

Fischer claims that the injury was not as bad as they first thought but waits to get the MRI back. He also said in his press conference that it wasn't the sort of injury that needed surgery. I am guessing VY will play if he can because Superman wears Vince Young pajamas and there is no way VY wants to miss the game in Houston if he can play.

Here is a description of the injury:

Quadriceps, the four major muscles in the front of the thigh, are responsible for extending the knee joint. Young said when he tried to bend his knee he felt a sharp pain.

"I just wanted to be cautious,'' Young said. "I wanted to go back in but if the (trainers) say just go on and sit it out, that is what I am going to do. I am going to be real cautious about the situation. I really didn't want to go back out there and try to do anything to make it even worse.''

Here's some interesting information on quadicep strains.

Usually, the muscle is forcibly stretched beyond its limits and the muscle tissue becomes torn during an activity such as sprinting or kicking a ball. A tear in a Thigh muscle is referred to as a Thigh strain and depending on its severity it is classified as a first, second or third degree strain:

a first degree strain is damage to a few muscle fibres
a second degree strain is damage to a more extensive number of muscle fibres
a third degree strain is a complete rupture of the muscle itself

Thigh Muscle Strain Signs & Symptoms

With a grade one Thigh strain the signs may not be present until after the activity is over. There may be a sensation of cramp or Thigh tightness and a slight feeling of pain when the muscles are stretched or contracted.

With a grade two Thigh strain there is immediate pain which is more severe than the pain of a grade one injury and produces pain on walking. It is confirmed by pain on stretch and contraction of the muscle. A grade two Thigh strain is usually sore to touch.

A grade three Thigh strain is a complete rupture of a muscle and is a serious injury. There is immediate burning or stabbing pain and the athlete is unable to walk without pain. Often there is a depression in the thigh at the location of the tear and a lump above the depression. After a few days with grade two and three injuries a large bruise will appear below the injury site caused by bleeding within the tissues.

The immediate treatment for a Thigh muscle injury consists of rest, ice, and compression (never apply ice directly to the skin). This is aimed at reducing the bleeding and damage within the muscle tissue. Resting may be the common sense approach, but it is one that is often ignored by competitive athletes. This is unwise, since it does not take much to turn a grade one Thigh strain into a grade two, or a grade two Thigh strain into a grade three. As a general rule, grade one Thigh strains should be rested from sporting activity for about 3 weeks, and grade two Thigh strains for about 4 to 6 weeks. In the case of a complete rupture the Thigh muscle will have to be repaired surgically and the rehabilitation afterwards will take about 3 months.

I wish someone could get an audio clip of that...that was some of the funniest s#!t that I've heard in my life.

I was listening to the radio last night (Fox Sports I think), and someone (a host) said that even though VY doesn't have great stats, he is just a winner. I was like "how the **** does 10-12 for 150 yards and an INT and three rushes for 22 help a team win" (I know those aren't his exact numbers, but that is what VY's stats usually are).
 
VY = winner....mainly because his ability to make the big play with the game on the line...................he was having a pretty decent game before he got injured yesterday.
 
Thank God for VY... If they had someone else at the helm, we might be talking about Tennessee in the same breath as the Patriots... :shades:

I'm sure it's a mere coincidence that all his teams win on every level...and don't tend to win like they won when he left. Football is one sport that you can't just scan a stat line and figure out of a guy makes a difference....you actually have to watch them play to figure stuff like that out.

people seem to forget how bad the titans were before VY started....the first time I realized that VY had "it" was when he played at Madison and they beat North Shore in the Dome.....................North Shore had more talent but Madison had Vy.
 
I just want to beat the Titans, with or without VY. The W does not have an asterisk if he's not playing.

I'm concerned about our whole team playing the Titans. Our D is soft, and with Tennessee's running game, I'm not sure we can stop them. And with a great defense and our inability to score in the red zone, I do not see the potential to dominate in any area of the game.

Heck, there's 1/2 the guys on the gotitans.com board that are questioning the effectiveness of vy more than some here on texanstalk.com! And I'm pretty sure they watch as much if not more than people do on here.

What VY is able to do on 3rd downs, or as far as keeping teams honest and taking them out of what they like to do on defense is not something that easily shows up in stat lines. He can do some stunning things "off schedule" as Kubiak refers to it.

The flip side of this is that his talent is so specific and different that it is hard to install a plug and play sort of offense for his team. If he gets hurt, the QB behind him has a hard time running the offense. I do not think that VY = Vick by any means, but if he gets any injuries that keep him out for periods of time, it can screw a team's year like the year where Reeves got canned. Worse problems to have, but is what happens when you change an offensive scheme to highlight special talents of a player. The Titans defense, has played very well, but will be tested if VY has to miss significant time. (I like the way that their defense is coached).

The game will set up well for the Titans.

They win without VY, it shows they are good team.
They win with VY, it shows he is a gamer.
They lose without VY, well the loss has an asterisk.
They lose with VY, well, he was injured so it doesn't really count.

Bleh.

By the way Kerry Collins was able to move their Offense down the field, it looked like they were better with Collins at the helm instead of Young. Oh, and the Touchdown they scored with Collins playing QB definitely showed up on the statline.

Vince Young gets just as much if not more so credit for being the qb of the losing team on Sunday. Its not like he was taken out on the first play of the game or anything.

blame him all you want...I didn't say Collins lost the game...he sure didn't win it with a key play in a critical situation....not saying that he is a Vince Young or anything like that.
