I am hearing a bunch of people throwing hate at Kub today. Lets run down what he has done for this team.
1. Carr. Some of you like him, some do not. Being on of the biggest critics of Carr, EVEN I cannot say I havent seen vast improvement from last year. Before you jump and say 'he has had 4 years to improve', he hasnt all that much till this year under this coach. He is being held accoutable right now and has even shown some interesting glimpses. He has better decision making for the mst part, better ball placement (my pet-peave), and looks more at the players before checking down. He doesnt seem to run for his life every 5 minutes and he also is not making some of the self-sacking mistakes he had before. The ball is out of his hands faster.. much more. He is vast better then last year, you cant argue that, even though I know some of you will try.
2. Banks and Ragone go Bye Bye with Sage coming in. I didnt mind saying by to Banks, but Ragone move surprised me. It doesnt now though. Sage might be a backup player, but he is much better then Banks or Ragone hands down.
3. O-Line. Several points are made here. First, Carr has more time to throw the ball, and better protection at this moment then I have ever seen him have. Yes, there are errors, but let us not forget that some of our starting O-line are hurt and the line still has keep Carr Vertical more. In addition, I am seeing more holes formed and better teamwork out of them.
4. RB. I was shocked when we past on Bush. But honestly, I was happy, as well. I thought with our RB's we had, we were not set, but we had greater needs. Then I was miffed when we took 6th round RB named Wali Lundy. WTF do we need with another running back when have Dominik Davis, Morency, Wells, Taylor, and Hollings. Boy was I wrong. This kid we picked up has really come on since we have started him. I am quite happy with him if Dom doesnt come back, but get well soon Dom. I liked the energy of Taylor, and wish we kept him opposed to Dayne, and I also like Gado. But Wali is only going to get better and he has shown quite a bit of promise.
5. DE. Mario Williams... (I questioned Kubs pick here, but no longer) got 2 sacks today. The last few games, he is starting to make a impact on the game. HE will be a force for us. He is around almost EVERY play. He doesnt give up. I see others quit... he doesnt. Kalu, Weaver, etc are starting to work together. Yes, they have a LONG way to go, but it is starting to look like Christmas in Houston.
6. LB. Who is a impact player in LB? Oh let see.... let me think of one.. How about Ryans! Man.. what a pick. This rookie is AWESOME. Flat out. BTW.. did you see the person trying to calm down Mario after the penalty. Little ole Ryans. 1/2 Marios size and he was trying to hold him back and talk sense into Mario.. Thats Called leadership skills there folks.
7. Other things about Kub.. How about guts.. and putting confidence in the team. How many 4th and 1's or 2's has he gone for it on. How many times has he called out the long pass? HE is showing faith in the team, which is starting to show IN the team.
8. He holds people accountable. Carr saw the bench last week. He was accountable. He has sit or cut a few players because they arent cutting it or they are making too many mistakes. Good. Someone who means business.
9. What an awesome Draft. I havent even mentioned Owen, who every one screamed about not getting a certain safety at that time. Owen has made some great catches. He is looking better and better every week.
9. He picked up Eric Moulds. Look what AJ has become with Moulds molding him better, showing how to be awesome, and taking some of the slack so AJ can get man to man now. Awesome Pickup.
10. No one has talked much about this, but you know. Walter hasnt done that bad either. Soid pickup.
11. Two wins are not that great, but it is already better then last year.
Kubs has improved this team. Period. 8 games into it... I am excited.. Not only for the next 8 games, but for the Texans Fanchise. We have the right man at the helm. Let see where he takes us next.
