Runner said:A quick look at stats shows that we had a fairly even split in yardage gained between the 2 halaves. The Texans as a team handled the line shake-up pretty well.
Wand would be better with more PT. This is his first real play this season; a couple of mistakes should be expected (and corrected). .
kenneth24 said:Wand played quite a bit last year and was starting the first couple of games this year before we put a ROOKIE in that made the line better.
ccdude730 said:have they tried wand at RT? he has pass protection skill, bowhunting skill, nunchuck skill....er. just some pass protection skill but not much from the LT position.

2004: Started all 16 games at left tackle
Experience is not needed, talent is
LBC_Justin said:And if Bradford makes that catch. Which he should of suddenly Carr is a hero.
Bradford sucks. Carr did what was needed to win the game today. Bradford blew it.
rmartin65 said:Oh yea, and Carr had a 104.7 rating.
in the nfl, corey was OPEN even if you say he was double covered. the safetly was late sliding over and bradford had his man beat.Napa Auto Parts said:i would preffer his rating be -500 impossible but leading the texans to a win but that is to much to ask. David rather throw it in to cdouble coverage than a for sure 1st down with AJ.
more than 1 player plays a game... how about a defense that doesnt create turnover or create pressure, how about an oline that still gave up 6 sacks? Carr is one man, on a team of many.. Carr can only control what he is supposed to. the Jags had two scoring drives of over 80 yards. is that Carr's fault too??? c'mon get real. Is he supposed to catch the ball for his receivers too now? its not good enough that he delivered the ball to his receiver right into his hands. we win this game, and no one says anything about a supposed poor performance by Carr... if anything we needed DD in there, im sorry but i didnt see anything from Morency or Wells that makes me think they are capable of being a quality starting back, just good enough to be backups, yeah wells carried for 4.2 yards a carry.. but DD usually does way better against a poor jags rush defense (see last year)... so while you Carr bashers are busy blaming the wrong guy... maybe you should go and start looking for a new team to follow or something.. cuz your wrong todaythe wonger need food said:He led his team to another loss. He has led his team to 4 wins in the last 16 games. That's really the bottom line.
Morency had one good run where he showed his explosiveness. He needs more carries to get used to the speed of the NFL...Tatum Bell looked like crap his rookie year, so did Larry Johnson as well. Both those guys are budding superstars now. Not everybody is going to step in as a rookie with no touches and tear up the league right off the bat.TEXANRED said:And it's official, Morency couldnt find a running lane with a map and a compass.

the wonger need food said:Morency showed some things in the preseason. If they can get him a decent pair of cleats he could be an effective backup.

Last play of the game - Carr throws over the middle to Johnson on 4th down. Andre drops the ball!
chuckm said:Wrong ..... John Henderson batted it down because of Carr's sidearm delivery .....
Runner said:That was a 3rd time stream.
After all the criticism of conservative play calling the Texans have gotten, when you think about it it's actually pretty comical that Carr & coaches would be attacked for rolling the dice for once, especialy with a record of 1-6 going into the game.Goldeagle said:I guess going for the win is a new concept to this team and some of its fans.
Judging by Pendrys reaction, only Carr wanted to try and win the game!nunusguy said:After all the criticism of conservative play calling the Texans have gotten, when you think about it it's actually pretty comical that Carr & coaches would be attacked for rolling the dice for once, especialy with a record of 1-6 going into the game.
V Man said:We had 6 sacks today. How many do you blame on the O-line (3). And most of those I would put on the Coaches for putting Wand at LT after Hodgeson injury instead of LG and leaving Pitts where he has had some success lately. Wand has already proven last year and these preseason he can't handle the speed off the end, but he is big and strong enough to handle a DT on the inside.
1st sack goes to Morency pitful blitz pick up.
Other 2, go to Carr. And one of them he even saw the DB coming up. He could have just tossed it away, but he slide ONE yard behind the line, so it counts as a sack.
belars44 said:On there being a coaching problem I certainly agree, and that I am confident will be attenuated over the off-season. Carr is here to stay so I'll give him the benefit of the doubt that a new staff may get him on track.
However, from the progress he has shown over his career here (and what I mean is that ALL you apologists who weren't here years 1 and 2 sound just like those who "had his back" then), the new regime will eventually find someone else to lead this team.........they just need to find someone with leadership ability, and not just someone who grins on the sidelines at home when we look bad.
In my stream bradford caught it, we end up socring on the play and, seeing as we are 1-6 we go for it on the 2 point conversion and get it!!! woot, texans win...Runner said:That was a 3rd time stream.
I asked this in a previous post---why is David Carr labeled immature for yelling at his teammates and spiking the ball but Peyton Manning is labeled as competitive for doing the exact same thing?!?!Hulk75 said:he is probably trying to be more profesional.

You know the score. The QB gets too much credit, too much blame. The tougher the loss, the more blame.edo783 said:All through the game several posters were whinning about not throwing anything over 10-12 yards. Then when Carr pitches a perfect strike about 20-25 yards they whine that he should have thrown short. To some it will not matter what Carr does or how well he plays, they will whine because they don't want him at QB. The Bradford throw was a VERY good toss...
Napa Auto Parts said:May be Peyton has proven he can win a game from behind or may be he has proven he can win more than two games in a row. just may be?![]()
Goldeagle said:Nice catch Bradford, way to keep my belief that we cant win when it matters!
But I am sure it was David Carrs fault
Hulk75 said:That is why if you can read Carrs mouth on the sideline after that when he is talking to Pendry he says "he was not open", speaking of Dre and the last play.
That wasnt a bad play when there is 2 min. and some change left you want the clock to keep moving when its going to be 3rd and long.V Man said:We had 6 sacks today.

Houston fans are livid! Bradford was streaking down the sideline for a sure touchdown. Carr is inept! Why throw to the middle of the field when time is running out? Isn't he trying to win? Is every throw a pass to AJ or a dump off to the RB?
The moral of the story is you can't please all of the people all of the time.
Brando said:Agreed. I can't believe people are blaming the loss on Carr? He a good game and put the ball right in Bradfords hands.
Why not blame Seth Payne for the loss?? If he didn't hold on a defensive play which is a questionable call to begin with, we have the ball going the other way and it's still 14-14.
We can't blame Seth because it is a team game, not a Carr game.
Terrible pass?!?! AJ admits that he thought Carr had already done something else with the ball and stopped his route? Again its Carr's fault the receiver didn't finish off the play!:brickwalljohnboy said:Carr loss the game a few plays before the droped pass when he threw the ball 20 ft over AJ's head with nobody within 15 yards of AJ at about the 10 yard line. Carr had all the time he wanted on this play terrible pass.
also Coleman & Fraggins play terrible Sunday.

If his big decision making problem is what that he does not get rid of the ball instead of taking a loss, then I'm confident he can figure that out like you said if they upgrade the O-Line. I agree that he should know that by now (Im tired of yelling at the TV "Throw the damn ball!) but at the same time when Carr does get enough time to throw he makes good throws to the right receiver. Most QBs though would get killed in the pocket and never get a chance to get out and take the 2 to 5 yard loss and the Texans would be stuck with a 10 yard loss.texan0305 said:Im by no means a carr basher, but have you guys seen the games and seen instances where he's out of the pocket and can jus throw the ball away instead of taking a sack...he did it on the final drive of the game and it cost them 5 yards! Its not his ability that i'm questioning its his decision making, in the nfl you dont need to have the great athelete to be a good dominant qb, you need parts around you, you need weapons, i know that, but carr in year 4 has taken a giant step back in his progression, he's regressed! No one can argue that, just look at the game tape and you can see that there are lots of sacks this year where he just made the wrong decision.... i hope he's back next year i hope they upgrade the offensive line, and most of all i hope if they have the number 1 pick they take Reggie Bush, the oilers in 87 passed on erik dickerson, i dont want to see the texans make the same mistake, they could use a playmaker running back with the conservative offense they run : )
