2002 vs. 2005 Houston Texans?

[God of Wine]

Who would win?

The 2002 Houston Texans or 2005 Houston Texans?

 

[Wolf]

I'd go with 2002.. reasons?

Our defense was better.
We used our strength (not saying much but billy miller at the time) and now our strength is AJ(we don't get him the ball) on offense

We played the field position battle better..


Team played with heart in 2002 even though they fought against the odds.
(they played as a team IMO then)

2005.
Dunta Robinson would eat the rookie Carr alive.

2005.
Dunta Robinson would eat the rookie Carr alive.

well he would be worthless out there going against Bradford and Jermain Lewis and Gaffney..


seriously.. I'd give the nod with Coleman/Glenn back their compared to Drob and Pbuck or Faggins.

I forgot about Matt Stevens.

I forgot about him .. well you got me on that one

2002. Just based on the heart and fire that was there. Actually I would pick the 2003 Texans, just b/c there were so many close games that they could have won - almost beat the Pats, but Vinatierri once again stole it.

2002 Texans...
Reasons:
1.) Carr had the same mechanics back then without the happy feet.
2.) Defense was much better then.
3.) O-Line was better then
4.) 2002 Texans had a better record through 4 games of the season.
5.) Gary Walker was a beast in 2002.
6.) Aaron Glenn hadnt lost a step yet.
