Preseason - TEXANS @ New England

[santo]

Mills looks good, minus the low throw to Tank.

You’re seeing the Mills we’re used to seeing from last year. Don’t worry, he’ll tear it up once the game is out of reach in the 4th quarter.

 

[austins23]

I'd like to see a replay. From what I saw live if it were a little more accurate it would have been 6, but I think it should have been caught.

That’s what I’m saying. Dell smoked that dude. Mills threw it to the boundary. An accurate throw Dell may still be running

 

[Buckeye Homer]

Awesome to see success on the ground!

 

[Carr Bombed]

1st reps folks chill out on the grades. His pro bowl LT wasn’t playing, stud RB either…. everyone on the O is also still learning a new o etc…etc.

That Defense is looking right tho..…

Chill out on grades? You want participation trophies? Grading gives you a baseline.. nowhere to go, but up from here. This is professional football, these players are graded everytime they step out on the field.

 

[sprtsfanatic]

Sims needed to pick up that punt.

sims looks slow and horrible at making decisions

 

[DanielTx]

Rookie qb, head coach and oc against the greatest coach in nfl history. I didn’t expect much, this is a learning experience

 

[Carr Bombed]

Not at all. This game is invaluable.

Not really.. he wasn't even working with starters. Not quality reps at all. The defense is getting a **** ton of quality reps right now though.

on 2 series bro? Lol

 

[Buckeye Homer]

That running back just destroyed what had been a very nice drive.

 

[Thorn]

The Texans being the Texans. Again.

Even the greatest coach nfl history is probably not even coaching this game. He’s just evaluating

And Belichick is just playing checkers while the Texans are playing Shoots and Ladders.

 

[Carr Bombed]

Yes on 2 series.. which netted 8 passing yards. It was a bad performance bro. Nothing wrong with me typing what I watched.

 

[Speedy]

Damn was hoping stroud would stay in for another series, wanted to see him with more reps

He’ll get plenty of reps in joint practices this week.

 

[Brisco_County]

Let's not fool ourselves; Stroud didn't flounder tonight because of the O-line, it was because he's a 21 year old kid and these were his first snaps in a professional league. I remember when I was 21. I was an idiot. I can't imagine trying to lead professional vets at that age.

 

[TexanBorn51]

right now 6 RBs on the roster I imagine Texans will keep on active 1-2 and other 3-4. So far Boone n Singletary it cand change tho


Boone
Doaks
Ogunbowale
Pierce
Singletary
Valladay

I loved that game. I was always the car and made the tire sounds when I passed Go!.

 

[Buckeye Homer]

Yep.

 

[Xopher]

There is no QB battle as far as who is making the team. I'm a little shocked Stroud didn't play longer. I thought Mills and Stroud would play a quarter each.

 

[Buckeye Homer]

Yea, hopefully he's back in now and the butterflies are gone.

 

[Buckeye Homer]

He should be back on this series. Stroud and Mills both had 2 possessions.

 

[Buckeye Homer]

Nope, it's Mills, who has looked better - and should.

 

[sprtsfanatic]

Ogunbowale=Ifumblefootball

 

[Brisco_County]

Ogunbawale move his stock down while Boone moved his up. Boone is twitchy, makes fast decisions. He'd be useful as a scat back and one-cut runner.

 

[Carr Bombed]

Beck is cut..

 

[TexansFan15]

right now 6 RBs on the roster I imagine Texans will keep on active 1-2 and other 3-4. So far Boone n Singletary it cand change tho


Boone
Doaks
Ogunbowale
Pierce
Singletary
Valladay

I see Pierce, Singletary, and Boone.

 

[Number19]

Beck with a drop that would have been a first down.

 

[Brisco_County]

Beck gets 1000 reps at the jugs machine tomorrow.

 

[Buckeye Homer]

Unbelievable. Stopping ourselves.

 

[santo]

Ryans looks frustrated.

 

[TexansFan15]

Beck is cut..

We won’t cut Beck. He’s our FB. The Shanahan offense has a FB.

 

[sprtsfanatic]

I see Pierce, Singletary, and Boone.

I'll take valladay over boone if we are only keeping 3

 

[DanielTx]

And Belichick is just playing checkers while the Texans are playing Shoots and Ladders.

Exactly. I don’t think the patriots are running anything complex. We might even have better players but kudos to bellichec and his consistent system. Just wish the Texans could adopt a culture similar to that

 

[santo]

Time to bring out Belichick’s nightmare, Case Keenum.

 

[Carr Bombed]

You’re seeing the Mills we’re used to seeing from last year. Don’t worry, he’ll tear it up once the game is out of reach in the 4th quarter.

Game is never going to be out of reach with this defense.

 

[xtruroyaltyx]

Defense looking nice

 

[steelbtexan]

Hey where the heck is Spencer Tilman?! This is BS! Where are my apples and roadmaps?! My smoke and keyholes?! Slow to fast through! Which complaint department do I email to remediate this sin IMMEDIATELY?

I was wondering the same thing.

 

[sprtsfanatic]

Tank is def better at PR than sims

 

[Buckeye Homer]

Defense looks great, but I'm guessing they usually do in the preseason as elite offensive players don't play.

 

[TexansFan15]

I'll take valladay over boone if we are only keeping 3

While Valladay has had some good plays during training camp, Boone has had more.

 

[sprtsfanatic]

Another Dell sighting

 

[Number19]

That pass to Dell is money in the bank.

 

[xtruroyaltyx]

Time to bring out Belichick’s nightmare, Case Keenum.

I have a feeling Case is going to look really good when he gets his chance.

 

[Buckeye Homer]

Tank!

 

[steelbtexan]

First game in the preseason. This is when I want him to make mistakes he can learn from.

Well then, you're not disappointed.

 

[Mr.Scarface]

Ok, whoever applied the Helmet stickers needs to be fired. I understand the various styles of helmets makes it difficult to be consistent. However, those stickers are placed allover the place and look plain bad on many helmets.

 

[TexansFan15]

That pass to Dell is money in the bank.

All day! Bring that all day!

 

[Carr Bombed]

Tank Dell is going to be a problem.. this should be his last series. Definitely drafting this dude in my FF League..

 

[Buckeye Homer]

Nice run there!

 

[Brisco_County]

Yea, hopefully he's back in now and the butterflies are gone.

Realistically, after what I saw from Stroud tonight, I wouldn't be surprised if he spends a good portion of the season sitting and learning. He didn't look ready tonight. The only way he changes that impression is if he wows us and DeMeco during the next two preseason games, but I'm not betting on it.

I say this as someone who just bought $1500 in his rookie cards.

 

[steelbtexan]

“Pigtails“ looks like he’s never seen a pass rush before.

This ain't Columbus anymore.
