Im watching, just thought there'd be separate game day thread.

Anywho, i know its just pre season, but i wanted to see a bit more from the offense with the 1st group.

Guess its hard to do much when you cant stay on the field.

The toss b/t Mills and Ogunbowale was poor. I needs to catch that. We need to clean that up!

Just had a chance to watch a condensed version of the game. It started at 0100 here in France, and my arse was tired and sleeping. I'll watch the full game at some point this weekend. As for the Mills pitch....it was just fine. The RB took his eye off the pitch, and it hit him in the chest. TO on the RB.

Agree, the fumble was def on Ifumblefootball. Nothing wrong with the pitch.

Yeah, I stayed up and watched the whole thing, but even though I'm in Spain, I work for a US company and keep kinda US hours. I normally go to bed at 3am.

The highlight of my professional career were the two tours I spent in Japan on the Aramco Project. Got lucky though an missed out on Saudi. Some real horror stories there.

I hear you. I had to go to Liberal, Kansas often in my career. Some real horror stories there.

I’ve heard Japan is lovely from multiple people.

Yes, and the people, particularly the young people, friendly. Standing in a train station, looking lost, people would always approach offering to help. Riding on the Shinkansen, their bullet train, young people would want to sit with me...practicing their English.

Was put up in a hotel, up high, and experienced my first earth quake. Next day at the office: no problem, no problem, we build. The hotel was designed to sway with the earth's movement.

Good time.

But could the hotel withstand the fiery breaths of Godzilla and Mothra?

Flashback. Years ago I had an office near the top of the Enron Tower. One morning my office door started swinging and the tower was swaying a little. over 80 miles away north of Columbus I believe an accumulation of gas in low ground from a leaking pipeline exploded and that shock wave was what shook the Tower. I don’t see how those office workers in Japan can take the daily possibility of an earthquake.

Yeh, I sat up in my bed, this the middle of the night, and the picture on the far wall was swaying and a coworker was pounding on my door yelling earthquake, earthquake. Opening the door: Yeh, I said, and we're 30 floors up. There's nothing we can do. I closed the door, got back in bed and went back to sleep.

The second earthquake I was in, just a tremor, I was on the subway which shut down and emergency lights came on. Lasted just a few minutes and then everything came back online.

Looking back, no one was overly concerned. I guess it's just part of their culture to accept it.

Hopefully they have 1960 road construction done by the time you get back. It's going to be real nice when they get finished. Right now it's a big mess

During our last visit, they were dropping the pillars into the ground right in front of the Whataburger. My buddy sent some recent photos, and these boys aren’t playing around. Living in Europe and watching building projects….would be like describing molasses exiting a drip tube.

Don't bunch them all together. When we lived in the Netherlands, they built an underground parking garage outside our flat. They filled this deep pit with water, and divers came in and blew the cement underwater! They did this day and night. While I was at work, my wife kicked it on the patio with a book watching this amazing process!
 
Here’s all the stuff from today’s practice since it’s harder for me to embed tweets:



As Tank Dell headed toward the podium, DeMecoRyans came back in, tapped him on the shoulder and said jokingly, “Hey, stop taking our defense apart.”

Derek Stingley just limped off the field. Jumped up to make a PBU got up gingerly. Didn’t look serious.

Kenyon Green joins the offensive linemen on the sideline. He’s in sweatpants, a T-shirt and a bucket hat. No apparent braces, tape or anything like that.

Will Anderson Jr. with two major plays from the left side. Went free for a TFL along the left edge. Beat George Fant on a would-be sack.

Nick Vannett fumbled a pass from Davis Mills that was scooped up by Blake Cashman. Probably would’ve been a defensive TD.

Jimmie Ward is flying around. Hawked a ball over the middle incomplete. Was low and struck Tank Dell in the legs. Dell did a twirl in the air and hobbled off a bit. He appears fine.

Jimmie Ward is FLYING around today. Just forced a fumble on Noah Brown. Then forced a PBU on Tank Dell.

Jimmie Ward just popped the ball loose from Noah Brown after a catch, a fumble recovered by the defense.

D’Angelo Ross just broke Neville Hewitt’s ankles on a special teams drill. One sprints, the other tries to block. Ross gave him a little shake and Hewitt went to the ground. An “oooh” from the fans here. Eric Murray mimed his own fall on the side.

Tank Dell just made another acrobatic catch. Leaped for one on the right sideline and tapped his toes. In bounds, the ref says. A long crosser from Mills.

Christian Harris and Devin Singletary get a little chippy. Harris struck him with his shoulder to the ground on a checkdown. Singletary got up, shoved Harris, and Harris lifted his arms until a teammate came and pulled him away.

C.J. Stroud just hit Noah Brown 40 yards downfield over Jimmie Ward. Nice deep ball.

Adam Humphries makes his first catch on his first practice. A deep crosser toward the left sideline, well-placed by Davis Mills. Jacob Martin may have had a shot on Mills with live action. But still a nice throw and catch.

E.J. Perry gets his first reps behind Stroud and Mills. Rep I should say. A handoff. All but one play in that series of team drills went to Stroud and Mills.

Henry To’oTo’o continues to be everywhere. Darted into the backfield for what would’ve been a TFL.

Texans left guard Kenyon Green is not practicing today. Michael Deiter is there in his place. Patterson is at left guard today behind Deiter. Jimmy Morrissey at center.

Case Keenum is still on the roster — Kendall Sheffield and Xazavian Valladay are not — but he is not at practice after the Texans signed EJ Perry

Does Casserio have a trade partner for Case Keenum? Holding him out, maybe he is pissed?? Dude can still play some
