You don't need to worry about collecting. Just review the procedure for changing your Avatar.
Ill believe the O-line in improved once I witness it. If it does improve we may not witness it till our season is more or less over. With our schedule being what it is we need to witness obvious improvement long before the bye week.I told y'all what happened and y'all didn't want to believe.
I was as guilty as some throwing off threads and there is little to no moderation. He finally said scerew this and moved on.
Our loss
With an improved OL the run game should improve by the 2nd half of the yr.
Roger that. A douchey one.
Its gonna look good on you.
So does channel 13 still have the broadcast rights for the Houston area viewing? At least ESPN announcers have to be better than channel 13's guys.
Good luck, you're gonna need it!
Just got a new one. Don't expect to be changing it anytime soon. You on the other hand...
am I in saints' fourm? most of people here lovesto see texnas lose or say they will lose.
Texans 27 Saints 24
Haven't read the whole thread.
Has it been mentioned that: The New Orleans Saints have announced that both defensive end Mario Edwards Jr. and defensive lineman Sheldon Rankins are OUT for the season opener against the Texans.
Will this impact the game?
IF ONLY it were well deserved.....Extreme Ego
When they named an OC, nobody thought it was going to be any different. Don’t know why anyone is surprised now.
They are terrible week 1.Someone gimme 3 reasons we beat the Saints.
That's a superbowl caliber team (who should have probably gone the last 2 years) and I don't think we are there yet.
When did OB say he was turning over game planning and play calling duties to Kelly?Much improved, maybe, I see in this order
- DW4 Maturation
- Better Oline play, end of year DW had guys at his feet and edge pressure
- Tim Kelly and his game plan and play calling
- Healthy and deep wide receivers (end of year we had nothing left)
- More mature TE's that can go out on routes
- Deeper RB class
Defensively, RAC will have to scheme and get his guys to play assignment football. Maybe we can actually do some man coverage. Assume defensively we will take a step back, but maybe the O can get some leads and make people one dimensional
Again, new identity needed as Watt ages and DW4 matures. Offense becomes heart and soul of the team??
Or is it because teams aren't playing their starters much, if at all, during the preseason?Is the Packer OL that bad, or the Bears defense that good?
Care to elaborateWow.
@DocBarWhen did OB say he was turning over game planning and play calling duties to Kelly?
What makes you think that a rookie OC is going to be all that much better than what we've seen from OB?
Are you expecting much improved OL play in week one with a brand new LT and rookie LG?
@DocBar
I was hoping he was turning over duties, I know he never said it, but a 1 year pizza delivery boy OC for the Cowboys called a nice game. I was "hoping" he was so busy he would trust the guys he had in place. Hope is not a strategy though, so I was proven wrong.
Agree, oline needs to gel, but the talent is much improved so there is a chance, but indeed week 1 is probably too much to ask. I was giving more reasons of why to be hopeful this year
I dig your enthusiasm and hope you are right but barring a miracle resurgence for our O, I believe it will take time to really gel.On Monday, September 9th at 6:10 pm CST, Your Houston Texans will be in New Orleans to take on the New Orleans Saints at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome. The game will be aired on TV on ESPN and on KILT AM Sports Radio 610.
This should be a fun game to kick off the Texans season on Monday Night Football in Prime Time. I'm fully expecting a high flying, high scoring affair. I don't think O'Brien is going to go into this game with a conservative game plan. I think he's going to try to get off to a fast start in this one and score first. We shall see.
Texans 37
Saints 30
Go Texans!

To have any hope in this game they need to jump NO from the get go. If they do, it could set the tone for the season. No slow start. If they let the Saints skip away to a 20 point lead then it's curtains.Come on Texans lets show up today. Lets get it.
True, OB isn't exactly the "give up control" type.When did OB say he was turning over game planning and play calling duties to Kelly?
What makes you think that a rookie OC is going to be all that much better than what we've seen from OB?

I'm still going to give O'Brien a chance.
Hopefully, he'd learned to design a better scheme to free up the receivers.
If I see that, I will root for him to succeed.
It's not good for the organization to keep replacing HCs.
A late bloomer, maybe he is.
Man I want me some Texans football. Also, over reaction Tuesday will be fun no matter what happens.
