At least the mic test was entertaining!
Mario is exceptional?
Our OLine is playing good?
What is his definition of bad?

Did he just say the Faggins wll continue to start?
What do you have to do to get benched?

Does he know what the problem is that needs to be fixed?
OD with a reoccuring injury from college???? WTH?
Dude, calm down and listen fully.
OD had a high ankle sprain in college, this we knew, and OD said the sprain he had is not as bad as the one he had in college.
After the first sprain they become easier to get, but also the recovery is quicker as the additional sprains are less severe.
Wow! Now I'm getting pissed at Kubiak. Maybe I will come around to your way of thinking Red.
I never knew OD had a serious injury in college. Ankle sprains are bad...without OD our passing game is going to be even more piss poor. He is our best receiver as AJ is out.
kubiak said there would continue to be a heavy rotation at the CB2 spot, but please feel free to continue and ignore that. I know that the even the hint of Kubiak saying that Petey is the starter and will play everydown is some of y'alls wet dream.
not lately he hasnt
Should I not get mad about Petey even playing? How does it not make you mad....do you watch these games with your eyes closed when we play defense?
like we can trust them when they report injuries....yeah.Dude, calm down and listen fully.

I don't get mad cuase the the options are a) a rookie, who granted is playing well, but is still a rookie and will get burned or b) a CBs who's play on the field had been even worse then Petey's (that would be Fletcher) or c) the undersized cb who is playing FS and doing a fairly poor job of it as well.
As long as their is a rotation with Petey and Bennett I don't see a better option, and therefore there is nothing to get mad about.
I'll get mad if the problem is not addressed in the offseason till then it's like getting mad a the dog for pissing on the carpet when he's been locked in the house all day.
I wonder if Matt Stevens would still be our safety if Kubiak coached from day one?
Because watching a veteran get burned more often is fun? I don't understand.
First off Petey should not play pas nickel situations, at this point I'd have fletcher playing nickel and Petey in at dime. Secondly, that undersized CB that is playing FS is for some reason starting over Demps. Please explain that to me...at this point I'd put Boulware in over him too...Hutchins at FS has been a joke since it was first announced.
Why even have a rotation? So the other team can watch Petey come in and put their best reciever on him. Then watch as our defense makes no adjustments.
Don't know anything about Matt Stevens so that went right over my head. Explain please. But yes, some of his decisions (like if he continues to bench White and keep Flanagetuskilled in) really baffle me. Like I've done in the other thread, I will continue to have faith in him. But he better step up and be a head coach and stop letting his goes goof off. He needs to be the coach not their drinking buddy.

Why would you want Fletcher to play the nickel instead of Petey? Fletcher has easily been the worst of the CBs this year. Petey and Bennett are probably 2a and 2b as fas as talent and ability goes right now, Fletcher is a distant 3 and everybody else sucks even more.
There is a difference between Petey playing Richard Smith's failure to make any adjustments. This defense is doing nothing to help the CB2, it was not Petey's fault that they asked him to cover Steve Smith, are the rest of the opposing team #1 WRs.
how long you been a fan if I may ask?
That's because other teams actually have safeties, and they use them to cover him because without him we don't have enough weapons to stretch the field. As suprising as Walter and Davis are...most teams don't need their safeties to cover these guys. They blanket OD.
how long you been a fan if I may ask?
Every year of the franchise but actually became a big Texans fan in 05 surprisingly. The ultimate fair weather fan I must admit.
Now, would you mind explaining your intentions in asking me that question?
How in the world do you see Petey and Bennett the same as far as talent and ability? Are you kidding me?
As far as this goes, I don't care who's damn fault it is. Be it Richard Smith or Faggins. The guy can't cover receivers. Therefore does not deserve to make his money covering receivers.
Faggins has been getting burned for years now. Fletcher and Bennett are new guys on this team. Give them a chance to play on it and make a freakin impact. Why watch a guy who has gotten burned ever since he has been on this roster get burned more? That sounds freakin retarded to me. Faggins has all the advantage over Fletcher and Bennett. He has played here longer, he knows the system better, and he has more PT experience. Yet he is still outplayed by the rookie Bennett.
"Faggins has been getting burned for years now" Sorry but wrong, untill asked to be the #2CB Petey had been playing very good ball as the nickel CB.
Just because Fletcher is new does not automatically make him better then Petey. In fact it's been fairly obvoous that when Fletcher is on the field he ahs sucked more then Petey.
I rate Petey and Bennett about equal due to the fact that Petey has more game expeirence. I would not be surprised if Bennett overtakes Petey as teh starter at the #2CB spot, and I sould not be shocked if it happens after the bye week. But don't be shocked if Kubiak continues to rotate them.
Now I know you don't know what your talking about because Petey has made a handful of plays IN HIS CAREER AS AN NFL PLAYER. The guy has been WAY below average ever since he came into the league. Playing well? Give me a f'in break.
He has been here for less than a year...give him a chance to learn the system through some playing time. I never said he would be better but give him a chance to GROW into the system.
First off Feltcher was cut from the defensive powerhouse the Lions, and when it happened most were happy to see him leave.
First off Feltcher was cut from the defensive powerhouse the Lions, and when it happened most were happy to see him leave. In his career Fletcher has shown less the Faggins. I know this maybe be hard for you to accept but no amount of time in the system will make Fletcher any better. FYI, vets don't tend to GROW in any system...they are what the are. Fletcher did not even beat out Petey for the starting spot, and he's done nothing on the field to beat out either Petey or Bennett.

You do realize that the Lions lead the league in takeaways, right? Yea, nice one.
Also, everyone grows in a system that they are just learning in. Doesn't matter how old you are.
And if Fletcher is so good
Fletcher would be out of the NFL if the Texans were not in as bad shape as they are in regards to depth.
Name a good play Fletcher has had this season and I'll concede the point.
Conversely, he consistently states that Mario is doing a great job, exceptional job, etc. His tone with Mario has been positive all season, pretty much since the Cowboys preseason game. So I'm wondering - what job or role does this staff have lined out for Mario? Obviously, Kubiak is happy with how Mario is performing at his job, whatever it may be, so I am curious what that entails.
Maybe I'm being cynical, but I have to wonder if Mario being his first pick as a new HC has anything to do with it.
I'm not a hater and not calling him 'bust', but dude just fails to impress me. Perhaps I should expect nothing, and my expectations will then be fulfilled. Pretty much how I feel about this franchise in general right about now.
Who said Fletcher was so good? Not me. About Fletcher having no job in the NFL: That's just either a completely idotic statement or a completely uninformed statement. Fletcher had 3 INTs last year. He also had an INT in both the two seasons before that. He is obviously showing a nack for intercepting the ball in the last few years.
He would easily get picked up by another team if he were cut by us.
Name a play that Petey has made. Name a game where Fletcher played half as much as Petey. I'm not saying Fletcher is good or not. I am saying give him a chance over someone who continually gets exposed for what he is, a bad football player.
