Watch Out For That Wall, Rookies
Yeah, we could all tell your head was somewhere else when you muffed that punt, Jacoby. Get some more sleep.
Watch Out For That Wall, Rookies
Before the Texans dispersed for their bye two weeks ago, defensive tackle Amobi Okoye told the local media he was tired and was looking forward to going home to Huntsville, Ala., to rest.
"I've been waiting for this for the past two weeks," he said. "They brag about me being 20 years old and being in the NFL, but right now I tell you what -- I don't feel like I'm 20 at all. I feel like probably 35."
So is the wall reality or myth?
"It's there," says Texans wide receiver/returner Jacoby Jones, a third-round pick from Lane College. "You don't think you hit it, but you hit it."
Jones hit it in Week 7. He realized he wasn't moving like himself in practice or in the Texans' October 21 game against Tennessee. He was hesitant running routes and returning kicks. It didn't help that he was recovering from a dislocated shoulder that knocked him out for two games and most of a third.
"I need to get back to being the Lane College Jacoby," he told teammates. "I was thinking a lot when I hit that wall. But now I'm just playing."
