Tom Savage has had a pretty good day. Had nicely placed TD passes to Blue and McClung. All 3rd team reps, but definite improvement. #Texans

Arian Foster is going against Falcons defenders today. Andre Johnson is not. #Texans

Arian Foster got his ankle re-taped and is back on the field. #Texans

Trufant broke up pass in endzone to Hopkins. They train together. Joked, then Wilson hit Hopkins, both traded shots. Biggest scrap so far

Jadeveon Clowney hasn't participated in any period that involves going against the Falcons.

Case Keenum to Garrett Graham for the TD.

Case Keenum taking 1st team reps for first time during camp. Running this whole drive

Texans 1st team offense running. Last 4 plays. 3 balls never touched a receiver, last ball high to Martin.

Arian Foster doing a lot more today than yesterday. Participating in 7's period. Andre still not getting reps in the period.

J.J. Watt just put an unreal swim move on Jake Matthews, and swallowed Rogers in the backfield. Had to let up, 3/4 speed.

Still haven't seen Posey or Duane Brown out here at practice yet.

Mike Thomas not dressed. And I don't see Posey out here. #missingbuckeye

Julio Jones and Roddy White dressed but not in pads. Looks like day off.

Not good signal out here or solid wireless

Sorry guys just had about 10 tweets that didn't go through. Look for practice report later

Arenas got hit in the head but stayed in

Thought Matthews held his own with three of last four plays against Watt. Matt Ryan threw int on last

Texans ran stunt and. Matthews played it really well

Just saw Osi try a spin move and it work. He said he wouldn't add it after getting shut down by Baker in practice.

Jacques Smith getting plenty of work at second team outside linebacker with Maponga.

Hageman just got a little banged up during full team but stayed in

Babs very consistent with his one on one rush every time I see him up

Jacques Smith finding its not easy contending with some of these Texans O linemen

Soliai just knocked a guy back 10 yards in one on one drills

Mike Farrell just looking for a fight today. Cliff Matthews just bit a little

Watching d line. Looks like Biermann mixing up early with Clabo

Good and bad... getting better. Still having trouble with seams, which are integral to this offense. Working with 3s mostly. A lot of these tweets tend towards optimism. When Steph starts chirping about Savage, that'll mean something to me.

Case and Savage still looking better than Fitz..

Case taking first team reps gives me at least a little more
confidence that BoB won't let the team go scoreless if
Fitz starts looking like Fitz when the lights come on for real..
 
McClain just mentioned on Payne's show that he was the one who reported Arian to the NFL for not doing interviews. Am I the only one that thinks that ranks very high on the douche level?

Sure, Arian might be acting a fool, but to rat on him? Did the Gobbler actually think he'd start giving good interviews after?

The dude hardly reports much on football anymore. Why doesn't he just retire

Arian has to dance for the NFL's hurdy-gurdy... it's part of the package of why they get paid so much.

These reporters are making it personal. Arian is, too.

Everybody needs to put in time-out and come back and just do their jobs. (IMO)

Not gonna get on the "cat fight" wagon. I've got too much respect for TC for that. I don't know her on a really personal level by any means but have had the pleasure of meeting her and chatting on a few occasions. She comes across in person just like through her blog. Sharp, personable, approachable and no bullshidt.

Ms. Ganguli I've never met but I know she used to associate with the enemy Jags. (Not that that amounts to a hill of beans or has any bearing), just have never had the chance to personally interact with her and have an unbased feeling that she might have a superiority complex because she's national with BSPIN and TC is 'Just a local Yokel.' Just my gut here. Have no way to validate my gut.

I'm not pressed into taking sides but if I were, TC is who I'd believe in and back unequivocally.

Still, no "cat fight" calls from this corner.

Carry on...:tiphat:
 
Texans Chick has a tendency to stick up for the players and coaches. I can imagine how this exchange went down.

I still remember her post where she went off on Rick Smith after he aired his frustration with Kubiak being influenced by his coaches over draft decisions.
 
For some reason all these tweets from all these people are screwing me up. Some say so and so isnt practicing some say so and so is......

Please hurry up Regular season.

The real difference is that TC is an actual fan of the team, and Ganguli is a hired gun -- An out-of-towner whose only interest is getting a quote.
