Texans Vs Saints Gameday Thread

[J_R]

Brees is done

 

[OzzO]

good coverage by kj again, made the QB think a bit

 

[Lucky]

Texans defensive starters vs Saints backups, now.

 

[mariowillshine15]

the tackling sucks

 

[Pantherstang84]

Texans defensive starters vs Saints backups, now.

and still sucking.

 

[redwhiteANDblue]

We aren't getting pressure

 

[OzzO]

seems like mario is going waaaaaaaay outside whenever I look for him

 

[Pantherstang84]

I guess Arizona was that bad last week.

 

[WolverineFan]

the tackling sucks

Yes, terrible tackling so far tonight.

 

[ReliantTexan]

Good lord. How many yards a carry are we giving up? Has there been a run that didn't go for 5-6 yards?

 

[HouTxFan]

I'm not understanding this...is it just that the Saints are that much better than the Cards, or is our defense worse than last week?

 

[DexmanC]

No push up the middle lessens Mario's effectiveness.

Same problem we had last year, and with this
MONSTER schedule....

 

[playa465]

can someone please give me a link to watch the game on the computer? atdhe.net is no longer showing it.

atdhe.net is still showing the game...its on the second link for the game...good quality too

 

[DexmanC]

I'm not understanding this...is it just that the Saints are that much better than the Cards, or is our defense worse than last week?

Yes.

 

[The Third Man]

For all of the "it's just preseason" talk, the defense looks like complete garbage.

 

[Pantherstang84]

I'm not understanding this...is it just that the Saints are that much better than the Cards, or is our defense worse than last week?

I'm starting to think it is door #1.

 

[mariowillshine15]

The defense is realizing Drew Brees is not Matt Leinart.

 

[ObsiWan]

The Saints are THAT much better than the Cards.

Drew Brees >>>>>> Matt Leinart
surely that's not news to you

 

[WolverineFan]

If the Saints are on another level than us, then they are two levels above ARZ. The Cards are nothing without Warner and Dansby.

 

[Lucky]

Jacoby now returning punts.

 

[OzzO]

JJ taking the punt, huh? kinda early to be scrapping the idea of JJ only focus on WR

 

[playa465]

OOoo...Jacoby returning punts...also where is the interior DL play? More to come on that later

 

[WolverineFan]

I don't think the defense has been terrible. There has been a TON of missed tackles so far, but penalties and the muff really hurt us. Let's face it, without the muff we had their O stopped.

 

[Thorn]

JJ taking the punt, huh?

Holliday may be getting a real long holiday soon if he doesn't get his act togeather.

 

[HouTxFan]

The Saints are THAT much better than the Cards.

Drew Brees >>>>>> Matt Leinart
surely that's not news to you

No, I know the Saints are much better than the Cards. I'm just wondering if that is the only reason our defense is looking so bad.

 

[Lucky]

One more series from the starting offense. They need more snaps get into a rhythm running the ball.

 

[OzzO]

there ya go - apparently Texans saying JJ is next in line for returns, not McManis

 

[J_R]

Nice bootleg

 

[Ghostform]

just heard em say JJ is gonna be the returner if holliday doesnt work out...mcmanis prolly wont get a shot.

 

[mariowillshine15]

ohhh boy

 

[J_R]

Ball on the ground. Saints recover

 

[Ghostform]

blah got beat

 

[False Start]

Son Ova Beach!

 

[Pantherstang84]

Another freaking fumble. Geeez!!!! Well, I needed this reality check after last week.

 

[gary]

I'll go start the fire Kubiak thread now. Why wait? LOL

 

[OzzO]

foster pulls a slaton

 

[Lucky]

Foster!

 

[mariowillshine15]

Get the damn stickum out. Our running backs cant hold onto crap.

 

[Thorn]

I'm thinking Kubiak is gonna blow a gasket soon if the players can't hold onto the ball.

 

[redwhiteANDblue]

Just like last year.

 

[Dwade]

Cmon Foster, that was some Slaton sh*t right there

 

[OzzO]

just waving that ball around with one arm

 

[rmartin65]

What happened? Who fumbled?

 

[WolverineFan]

That play got blown up, Foster had no chance. However, as a RB, you have to know not to lift the ball like that. That's asking to have it stripped.

A loss of 3 is better than a turnover.

 

[J_R]

What happened? Who fumbled?

Foster

 

[ObsiWan]

No, I know the Saints are much better than the Cards. I'm just wondering if that is the only reason our defense is looking so bad.

Even if it is, we need to play them better. The Saints are where we want to be. And we need to step up and go toe-to-toe with them.

No excuses.

 

[playa465]

too painful to watch...be back later

 

[DexmanC]

I'll go start the fire Kubiak thread now. Why wait? LOL

Don't tempt me. I'm waitin 12 games for the annual 5-7 start.

 

[TexanExile]

Good idea to wash your hands after eating all the crawfish this afternoon, boys.

WAY too much carelessness with the football. Without that string of NO penalties this woulda looked really bad by now...but conversely, without 2 Texans fumbles, well, you know.

 

[Pantherstang84]

see ya.
