Jacoby Jones is looking good....

Was watching Inside the NFL yesterday and caught this little exchange between JJ and Harbaugh

Harbaugh - "You're lucky you've got a coach that believes in you"
Jacoby - "And I loved it, I loved it!"
Harbaugh - "Is that a blessing or what?"

Poor Jacoby. :) No one believed in him here.

We didn't let him play his game. We tried to make him think too much.

Wrong guy for our system.
 
Harbaugh is an ex-special teams coach. I'm sure nobody was happier the
Texans dropped Jacoby than he was. If you take a look at the Probowl voting,
Jacoby is the lead vote-getter for kick returner.

Nice to see Jacoby shining.

Wow. I'm glad we have a classier head coach than what the Ravens have.

One of these days, maybe he'll be smart enough to stop believing in Joe Flacco. For the sake of his own job security.

Now I genuinely hope Jacoby muffs a kick and the other team scores from it, and to win the game on it too. Let's see how good that tastes, Jim.
 
radio brought up our field again i think we need to stop using the checker board field and just use one big tray

That's showing them some real class GP. Keep representing brother.

EDIT: On second thought, it's not worth it to even get into it with you.

Kubiak looks better and better every time I hear a Harbaugh or a Rex Ryan say the things they say.

I'll agree with you on that. But I've always said that was one of Kubiak's strengths, he controls that locker room. Something Rex doesn't know how to do.

Harbaugh is a different story, he's been winning since he got to the NFL. I have no idea if he'll be able to pull that group of guys together when things aren't going their way. But if things continue to go their way, he must be doing something right.

I did agree with you on Harbaugh's statement & the class it showed.

I'm trying to work with you.
 
Jacoby just went BEAST MODE on Sunday Night Football.

He's a special teams Hall of Fame candidate.


....I called it early.

This is a bad joke.

Putting JJ's name and the HOF in the same sentence is ridiculous on so many levels. The guy just got ran out of town for being so bad on special teams. No one goes to the HOF for being a special teams player unless you're some great kicker or something. JJ is not a good WR. He is nothing but a fast runner who can make big plays occassionally and can also make huge mistakes occassionally. He is the same guy in Baltimore that he was in Houston.
 
Feast or famine? For the last few weeks, Jacoby's been eatin' good.

Which means that he'll be so money in a big game. Riiiiiiiightttt...

Not buying it. Dude will choke in the spotlight, again. He's more interested in going to the scrip club than he is in greatness.
 
change of scenery has made a difference. he will be same ole jacoby once the new wears off.

I don't even care anymore. I follow one team and only marginally pay attention to what former Texans do. Jacoby is just another Baltimore Raven at this point.
 
He'll put on on the turf sooner than later .... He's a mistake or a big play waiting to happen. Feast or Famine.

Doesn't matter, every body makes a mistake... bigger the stakes, the bigger the mistake. Instead, if I were a Baltimore fan... & we just beat the Steelers by 3 points... I'm feast'n

F@#$ all the naysayers.
 
This is a bad joke.

The guy just got ran out of town for being so bad on special teams.

& our special teams coach got his a$$ reemed just last week. & they made the same mistake by letting Trindon Holliday go & he's feast'n in Denver.

Try to be objective, watch the freak'n game, props where props is due. If you're so sure that Jj is going to put it on the ground, wait for it & make your case when it happens.

Exactly.

People fall in love with players and follow them to their new team like a lovestruck teenager who has a poster of Bieber on their bedroom wall.

"OMG! Look what he's doing with another team!"

So what.

I mean, do we do this on every single player who leaves the Texans? Or is it just fun to find the ones who go on to actually DO something and build it up as a thing of "Man, look what we had and let get away from us!"???

The Broncos fans probably aren't on their message board talking about Chris Myers right now. Are they?

It's so silly. For every Jacoby Jones who goes on to have a good season (or more) there are a dozen David Carrs who don't. Our batting average is pretty good, in terms of who we let go and what they do for their new teams. Leach and Ryans are probably the two standout players out of a pile of players we've let go. Jacoby MIGHT turn out to be in the Leach/Ryans group, but it's one season right now.
 
When the Ravens get here in the playoffs...Every Texas who was part of the LOSS last year should remember his SEASONS of inept play. They should remember EVERY play he ever screwed up. Every ball he ever dropped and the fact that his bone headed play COST THEM a trip to the AFC Championship and light him up like a Christmas tree. They should show him a molecule of mercy.
 
The same people hatin' on Jacoby, spent the same amount of passion
being in love with David Anderson. Some were even comparing his skillset
with Wes Welker.

Jacoby's still in the league. Your boy David Anderson is on his couch watching
Conan O'brien. Get over it.

The same people cryin that we let Jacoby go were the same people cryin that we extended his contract .... or that we hadnt cut him before the fumble in the Baltimore game.

Jacoby has world class speed .... but his decision making was suspect here in Houston.

Im happy for the guy tho , seems the change of scenery did him a world of good.

always a race thing with you


i defended jacoby as long as anyone here. i wanted him to do well because regardless of realization, the potential was always there. he failed to realize it because IMO there was a sense of entitlement. mental errors and flaws in his game kept him from being his best. now that he's had a wake up call "wait, i can be cut?!?!", he's shown that small school mentality and aggression that we drafted him for. still one of the most immature players in the league, and shows signs of being a bit of a head case, but it's obvious that he's taking football MUCH MUCH MUCH more seriously now than he did as a texan. forget the runs, forget everything else - watch the way he fields the ball ... there's a focus that didnt exist here, a football mentality that he took for granted.

that immaturity however is why i cant fault those expecting the worst. he's going to settle in (again), believe his hype (again), and blunder a great opportunity (again). he's shown me he's a football player again, but has yet to prove an ounce of accountability.

The only thing I don't like about this explanation & explanations like this, is that Jacoby hasn't had any off-field "issues" for at least a year. I want to say 2 years.

And, Arian talked about Jacoby like a brother, and mentioned on several occasions how he, Jacoby, & Casey would work out after practice when everyone was gone.

So I think he got over the immaturity thing & left Houston as a true professional.

That's a flat out lie.

I've bashed David Anderson as hard as I did Jacoby. In fact, in the camp and preseason leading up to his last year here (last season) I even went so far as to say that Jacoby's production AND his upside was significantly larger than David Anderson.

I know plenty of people, hell if not the majority of us, who disliked David Anderson being a constant presence on this team.
 
Dude has stepped up for the Ravens.

I still believe he cost us that game, but cant hate no more.

Dude was just money!
 
Speechless. Good for Jacoby. Status quo for Houston sports teams.

While I'm happy for Jacoby, Leach, and Pollard, it just makes me sick to see all the players we lose, cut, or trade go to other teams and win championships or become big play makers like Holiday. I know a lot of it is cap related, especially last year, but I'm getting concerned we will continue to bleed our talent out and never win a championship. It seems like a team has to hit in the draft every year with 3 or 4 players just to keep their team in the playoffs regularly. I keep wondering what would have happened if we could've kept Winston, Brisiel, and Jacoby, and Cushing was healthy all season. :thinking: I still think we are close but they will have to have another great draft to help us get to the top.

Also, I think Jacoby should have been at least co-MVP with Flacco. They wouldn't have won without him. Way to go Jacoby! You got your ring! Just wish it would have been with the Texans.
 
should rick smith be fired seriously its not hes been hitting some stealler Draft picks in rounds 2-7

lets face it JJWATT was a wade pick

Pollard leech JJ and holiday

bottom line is he payed the wrong players

butt what gets me is on paper he made all the right decesions

Pollard sucks in coverage

No wayyy u pay a FB 12 million

and Jones was average here

I don't quite understand this post. You're saying he made the right decision by getting rid of Pollard, Leach & Jones? Then what's your gripe?

And who exactly are the wrong players he paid? Manning, Joseph, Smith? Bottom-line, the Texans can't pay every player that plays well for the team.

My gripe would be the fact the Texans let Leech walk to pay Jacoby Jones, then cut Jones like a year or so later...

All those players were cut or let go. Pollard & Leach we didn't want to pay them so we let their contracts expire. Jacoby & Trindon, straight up cut...

I understand where you're coming from, but it doesn't bother me that these guys go on to find success, especially guys like Trindon & Jacoby who wouldn't be in the league if not for the Texans taking a chance on little known talented players.

What upsets me, is that we get nothing for them. Trindon & Jacoby were draft picks. Pollard we only had for one year & he was a standout in KC already. Someone would have picked him up anyway, so it would have been difficult to get anything in return for him.

Leach, was unknown & under appreciated before he came here though. They knew they had a commodity there & they knew they weren't going to pay him. They pay Jacoby, KDub, & Winston & had to let Leach go.

:smh:

The Texans FO needs someone who knows how to work the cap. This stuff is ridiculous. I totally forgot that the reason they let Leech go was to sign Jones. The Ravens know how to do it.

We are right up against the cap- no way this team even resembles teteam that just won the Super Bowl. So many Free Agents to be re-signed....
 
This was never about jacoby. Or Joe Marciano. This is about kubiak. He is too uptight as a coach. You can tell just by looking at his face on the sidelines. He gets that upset stomach face. He doesn't look at field goals. He's not confident. You can tell with how schaub plays. Kubiak is so afraid of mistakes that much of the team doesn't play loosely. They get so knotted up when big games come around.

Trindon and jacoby have had the same natural ability they have now since they came into the league. But before kubiak puts guys like that on the field he has to make sure they know how much he hates mistakes. So what you have is a bunch of guys that are thinking too much and not letting their natural ability shine. You have Kevin Walter starting for multiple years and Ben Tate not getting carries.

What?

So we drafted a guy in the third round that wouldn't be in the league had we not drafted him?

And someone would have picked up trindon. He'd probably have gotten drafted by someone else after our pick and at the very least he'd have been on a camp roster somewhere. Trindon wasn't some "little known" player. Everyone knew who trindon holiday was in the football world.

Pollard and Jacoby fit on the Ravens because of that very reason: They let those guys PLAY.

Kubiak, as you mentioned, he wants obedient and loyal task runners who just do the basics and leave the free-styling at home for the Xbox 360.

I couldn't help but notice how fluid and natural the Ravens looked last night. I was watching them and thinking "Wow. These guys are just having fun and just doing things so naturally." It was refreshing to watch.

Meanwhile, the 49ers were looking like the Texans out there: They didn't figure out that certain formations and certain play calls (Kap's numerous roll outs that were stuffed every time) weren't working and were NOT going to work ever again that evening. They looked tense. Like they knew they would get a beating if they lost. They looked like they felt they were the better team and that the Ravens should just accept their fate (sound familiar, anyone?).

Kudos to the coaching staff of the Ravens. (1) They let go of an O.C. in the middle of the season and they end up winning the Super Bowl. IIRC, the fired O.C. (Cam Cameron) was the guy calling the shots when the Ravens got blown out vs. the Texans this year. Well, they figured that they'd had enough of THAT. And look, a ring came their way! I don't ever want to hear that you cannot make that drastic of a coaching move in mid-season. Bull****. You CAN. Myth busted. (2) The coaches held them together, maneuvered them through the playoffs, and let them have fun and let them play with reckless abandon in the SB.

I still give props to 49ers for figuring out that Alex Smith was not the answer and for developing the pistol with Kap so that they could utilize him and the RBs with what can only be considered as a great step toward next year. They made it tot he SB and almost pulled out a win with a young QB and a fairly new offense.

Both of those teams proved that they deserved to be on the field last night.
 
It's my sincerest hope that the next time Mr. Judas Jones and his Baltimore Dirty Birds play the Houston Texans that every man who was on the Texans' roster whom he cheated out of an opportunity to play in an AFC Championship game remembers:

a. How he "accidentally" fumbled and cost them the game

b. How the team who benefitted from his "accident" just HAPPENED to
pick him up the following season.

&

c. How he said that he felt more of a "cohesion" in the Raven organization
than he ever did when he was wasting a roster spot and room under the
salary cap here in Houston.

I hope the remember all of these factors and do their best to either break his ribcage like a bag of bread sticks or crack his helmet like a walnut to congratulate him on selling them out for his own personal glory. If someone Michael Irwin's this traitor I won't shed two tears in a bucket.

Before any says I'm being "harsh" save it. I mean every damn word of this post If you're a Raven fan and you're going to 3itch me out, do us BOTH a favor and zip it. I'm a Texan fan AND a Steeler fan and the waste produced by single celled microscopic organisms visible only through electron microscopes mean more to me than YOUR opinions.

Dread!

Rrrrrrrrack him!
 
I don't think Jacoby's dropped punt against the Ravens was intentional. If
the drop were intentional, then I would be able to call him a traitor. I thinki t was
simply a reflection of the energy of constipation coming from Kubiak leaking onto
the field.

Jacoby's two touchdowns were the difference in this Super Bowl, and he
was the reason for quite a few Texans victories during his time here.

I was happy to see him get to dance twice during "The Big Game," and always
saw him as a guy who played hard. John Harbaugh and Joe Flacco just
showed the Texans what a head coach with guts and a QB with a rocket
arm can do.

I bet if it weren't for the cap issues, Jacoby would have still been here. Kubiak would still put him on the field, Schaub would still throw it to him & Jacoby would still be making plays.

Remember that big catch he had over Ed Reed for a TD?

You guys are a lot nicer than me. If he was with ANY OTHER team I would be wishing him well. The fact that he got picked up by the guys who went on to the AFC championship game as a result of his "error" looks BEYOND suspicious to me. He's dead to me.

Why didn't the 49ers win the game when Ray Rice fumbled the ball & allow them to score real quick, got them back in the game.

Just like our game against the Patriots this year in the divisional round, we were supposed to get Arian Foster going, play good defense & let our QB "manage" the game. We didn't do that. Arian did not take over the game, our defense did not play well & we lost. Had Jacoby not muffed that punt, we still would not have been running the ball or playing good defense & we still would have lost that game.

We played a much worse defense this year in the Patriots & the Ravens D, which isn't as good as ours was able to slow down the Patriots offense.

We did not lose either game because Jacoby spotted the Ravens 7 points in the first 5 minutes of the game. The people you should have ire towards are still here.
