First fashion, then football.
Whoever designated this as Deep Steel Sunday is obviously a dude. Hello, it's Christmas! Wear red. Stop overthinking or going contrarian or whatever. Cheerleaders should be in red, and so should the players and the fans. The Colts wear blue, you want us to wear blue too?
If you weren't going to wear the alternative jerseys for Christmas Eve, then why the profanity didn't you guys put them on for the Titans game?
Are we saving the power of the red for the Browns????? (You can wear the alternative jerseys twice, but we do it only once????)
I am actually looking forward to seeing the all blue jerseys/pants, but dangit, if we are coming to the stadium on Christmas Eve, we should be wearing red.
Why can't we even get the marketing right????? Stop being sneaky, or changing things for the sake of changing things, or whatever. Do what makes sense, and wearing blue on Christmas Eve facing the Colts is just a weird marketing decision. (That being said, I'll wear blue even tho it means my Texans Christmas sweater has to wait for next year).
As for a football note, from the article:
Expect a steady dose of Ron Dayne for three reasons. First of all, the Colts surrender a league high 173.4 rushing yards per game; secondly the Texans passing game is completely ineffective and finally Dayne is the only thing going on offense, having accounted for 53.3% of the Texans total yardage the last three games.
Of course, this makes sense, but it isn't what the Texans have been doing. We've faced all sorts of teams with sorry running games, and the Texans still seem to be a pass first team.
The game we actually were killing a bad run team with the run (Buffalo), the Texans abandoned the run.
Titans stink against the run, did the Texans really run?
The only time the Texans look good is when they are able to pound it regularly with the run, but it is inconsistent.
The running game for the Texans has been sort of the ugly step sister. Texans have tried to showcase the "strength" of the Texans in the season by trying to get it to the WR (or have done a season long audition of Carr), and the run has been whoever we try to plug into the game at any given time, like an after thought.
I actually expect the pass to be slightly better this week. Maybe it is my imagination, but I believe the pass blocking is better when the line isn't a half step slow in a noisy stadium.
