Practice Squad
Good game this past weekend, though I imagine an incredibly frustrating one to have lost. I was very nervous at halftime since I couldn't imagine how we could have dominated you more in the first half, yet the most we could manage was a 13 point margin. Your defense did a fantastic job keeping you in the game until your offense could get untracked. I really wanted the Colts to go for it more on 4th down, but coach Caldwell doesn't like that gamble. I wasn't surprised at all when you came storming back.
Thought I'd post a link of Colts GM Bill Polian's comments on the Texans. He was very complimentary:

* The Texans: To paraphrase Denny Green or I guess it's not a paraphrase 'They are what we thought they were,' a darned good football team. They are a darned good football team. In many ways, if you matched them against us they are as good or better than us in a lot of areas. They have talent. They go eight deep on the defensive line. They have an outstanding linebacker group outstanding. They have a really good offensive line. They have two running backs who fit their style perfectly. They have along with [Colts wide receiver] Reggie Wayne and [New England wide receiver Randy] Moss probably one of the Top 3 do-it-all receivers in the AFC [wide receiver Andre Johnson]. [Patriots wide receiver Wes] Welker is outstanding as well. When you have that kind of talent, and unfortunately they lost their tight end, Owen Daniels, who's a big part of their offense, but when you have that kind of talent on both sides of the ball including along with Dwight Freeney the best pass rusher in the AFC [Mario Williams] you're in high cotton. They are. They're a very, very good team."
