Jaguars DT Terrance Knighton hates the Texans
All week long Jaguars defensive line coach Joe Cullen has been showing film of the Jaguars 2010 season finale, when Texans running back Arian Foster gained 180 yards rushing against the Jaguars.
The footage has made defensive tackle Terrance Knighton angry. Not that he needed more incentive against the Houston Texans.
"I hate Houston; I hate the Texans," Knighton said. "Thats probably the team I hate most in the league. I dont know, they have an arrogance about them I just cant stand. We watched the bad game last year I just got angry and Im ready to go out there and get that bad taste out of my mouth."
He says "the bad game" because the Jaguars defense did have a good game against Foster in the teams' first meeting. Foster only gained 56 yards in the team's 31-24 win over Houston. That game is better known for the Hail Mary pass from David Garrard to Mike Thomas which sealed it.
But what doesn't sit well with Knighton is that year after year it seems to him the Texans are the team people are talking about to unseat the Colts as the division champions.
"Every year theyre the team thats supposed to overtake the Colts, or be this high-powered offense," Knighton said. "This defense thats supposed to just shut down everybody. Im just tired of hearing about it."
