Jamison perhaps? I know he is supposed to have #92 but on the photo it looks like he is #70
Must be him, unless he's wearing #60, LOL!
Jamison is really quite strong, especially considering his size.
Jeremiah, I think, is not 100% at the moment. Maybe quite far from it!
Foster, I've always think will emerge.
U. Tenn and Oregon St., once in a while would run a version of the ZBS that has the blockers and runners go a little more sideway than normal as compared to us.
The runner may run along with the train to look for an opening.
If he sees one, he cut; if not, he continues to the sideline.
Also they have a better mix of outside zone play than us; our bread and butter was off RG, then off LG.
Their coaches gave the runners the green light to run to daylight more than ours.
But both Foster and Jeremiah are capable inside runners, especially Foster!

Ah, Football!
August 19 and 20th, but it says the 20th is closed. Hurry up and register while you still can, Gary.

Who threw the pick? Was he pressured?
On what kind of route? Who was the receiver? Did he run the route correctly?
Was it a good read by Glover?
Thanks for the link, guys!

Here are my random thoughts in no particular order...
Cato June looked spent. He didn't seem to have the zip that I was looking for. June also played all three LB positions. He mainly flip flopped with Adibi. Adibi would play strong while June would play weak then another Adibi would play weak while June played strong. Basically flip flopping. I found that interesting. Anyway, June looked really slow.
Travis Johnson was at camp. I never saw Barwin but others on the board said he was there.
Slaton looked beastly. I was stunned at his speed and vision. Really! Slaton has his act together. He is a bonafide starting runningback. Moats had good bursts but Foster definitely has the upperhand. Brown looked healthy but Foster looked by far better.
Duane Brown kind of was pissing me off a little bit. He kept sitting down on the coolers. He looked very spent halfway through the practice. It just bothered me to see him coming back to the cooler and sitting on it. I think he did that four times. Nobody else sat on coolers.
Jacoby will not make it out of training camp if he keeps up the subpar performances. He looked terrible. Still trying to juke after the catch. He needs to take a page from David Anderson who caught kicks and ran north instead of juking right after the catch. He also dropped some passes as well as bobbled a punt or two.
Schaub is in CONTROL. He looked outstanding. This is his team. He stood out.
Orlovsky looked great! I'm very comfortable with Orlovsky.
Grossman looked terrible. His passes lacked zip in them. The passes would begin to sink once they reach their halfway point. It seemed like the players would have to drop their hands to pull up a Grossman pass. It also didn't go from his arm to the WR very quick. More of a floater than anythin else. It also seemed like Grossman hit the wrong WR a time or two.
We saw Kris Brown once again. We interviewed him a couple seasons ago and he recognized us. He picked up our newborn baby and we took pictures. Yay!!
Training camp was loads of fun. No problems this time around either but then again all I did was watch the field the whole time. I let the wife take the kids around.

HOU-TEX
Ah, Football!
LOL! Where was he sitting on coolers? Were you over by the other field watching individuals? Or in the stands? I didn't really get to watch the LT position during team drills. The damn 1st down marker was right in that path.
I saw guys sitting on coolers last year!

The difference was that I only saw Duane Brown sitting on them. It spoke volumes to me. It really did. I saw a coach tell him to get up and he laughed at him before fumbling off.
HOU-TEX, I was in the endzone between the stands and the other practice field. They had the coolers on my end for the first part of practice before they moved them over to the other end of the field.
Kris is always nice!
It's interesting about June and Adibi; I guess we wanted to try different things to see how they work.
What I noticed from last year was that at times, we have kinda like an acttacking OLB and a stay-at-home OLB. Same thing with the DTs and the DEs.
LOL, I guess he was the first one, and when the coach gave him the signal, others wouldn't dare sit down, LOL!
Guys who sat down were younger guys.
I think last year Duane was all hyped up as a rookie, so he never even think about sitting down, and didn't pay attention to whether any guy did.
This year, he probably thought that he can rest his laurel a little.
But he found out, LOL!!!
HOU-TEX
Ah, Football!
Ah, gotcha. I was going to mosey on over there, but with no pads I didn't think the big nasties would be going at it very hard. When the pads are on I usually make it a priority to watch the trench work on the other field. I just kicked back in the stands today.
It was actually more crowded than I thought it'd be considering today being a work day. The stands were full and maybe another 100 or so standing behind the endzone.
I got there at 8:15 and it was pretty crowded.

thanks, I find it weird how the fans come early to camp every year but can't get the stands as full before kickoff in a regular season game.
Hey, it's Friday!

I do not like crowds much. That being said, I was fairly comfortable. I was always able to find a good spot to watch camp from various places. It was full yet not crowded.
I thought everyone arrived early, if not on time. A really good number of people were there when it started.

I'm just gonna have to get there early this year. The last time I went the stands were packed and I had to lean on my cane for over an hour to watch....that was a pain in the keyster.
HOU-TEX
Ah, Football!
Yeah, I expect tomorrow and Sundays to be really crowded, but the Thursday night goof around practice will be the most crowded of all of them.
HOU-TEX
Ah, Football!
Weak side only with the 2nd team. They only worked on base defense today. Nothing special.
Were they just fly routes, post routes, crossing routes?
Did the receivers make any kind of move once in a while?
Any one had an upperhand on another?
As far as coverage and route running go?
Were the DBs more off-man or more in press coverage?

I foregot who the QB was at the time the pick was thrown but I think the wideout might have been JJ Glover just seem to stay with his man turned around and made the catch it looke to me like he read the pass well. Someone please feel free to name the QB and the WR.

I am looking forward to see yall once again and meeting everyone I havent...I was gonna be wearing my personalized jersey but i think someone in my family (.....wife...ahemmm may have misplaced it) So most likely be wearing battered up Schaub jersey with a blond kid with #80 jert on and a 'battle red" headed wife. I usually answer to Mike. I can't wait.....
On my way......
You are supposed to have eagles' eyes, Gary! LOL!
It's a sign.... The Texans want you to buy a new jersey, LOL!
"We thought Alex had a pretty good shot at practice squad again and we wanted someone to really push Dan and have a legitimate chance to beat him out and have a chance to be a third quarterback," Shanahan said.

Looks like they are trying to slip ALex Brink through.

I'll be honest with you... Kubiak seemed a bit disconnected overall. He'd be standing far away from all the players. When #30 went down with the knee injury, Kubiak walked over there looking annoyed that he was on the ground blocking his view more than anything else. Did anyone get that vibe?

Thanks for the link.
Barwin wearing #98. Wasn't that Peek's number back in the day?
Kinda' weird seeing the new guys wearing familiar numbers.
Good footage of training camp.
LOL. So, let me get this straight. Kubiak has Chris Brown practicing in the mornings and basically watching in the afternoons...and this is an NFL running back that's going to be able to get into the game and do something productive? This is one of those deals where you wonder why in the wide wide world of sports Kubiak and Smith have been able to saddle themselves with this guy. It just doesn't make much sense to me.
Anyways, Kris Brown looked good running off the field. Good form: Long stride, pumping the arms, didn't look exhausted. Beast.

How far did he run ?
Out in the open field , does he look more like a WR or a DL ?

Large crowds, got a chance to say hi and meet Gary. Only observation so far Travis Johnson is in no kind of shape. Oh well......
False Start
On # 69
I noticed Jeremiah Johnson is wearing # 38, lets hope hes better than that last # 38 we had.
I hope I can make it to an evening practice, it would be good quality Daddy-Daughter time. Then, I'm gonna take her to a real game this season.
