Texans vs Vikings Game Aug 9 Preseason 1

[austins23]

Could that have more to do with the Vikings playing far off the ball and not allowing anything that would lead to quick points?

No, did you see the coverage? Is was a quick, good throw, the RB picked up the blitz and the QB audibles into that play.
That didn’t happen last year

Fisher has some work to do....Seems to have lost what Mojo he had

It was a staple of the offence in year one of Stroud, but for some reason was absent in year two. Seems to always result in a positive play and I'd like to see it used more often. Stroud has amazing anticipation and this works well for him.

 

[Texansballer74]

Our receivers room is legit.

 

[TexanBorn51]

Berrios!

 

[TexanBorn51]

With all those WRs Metchie getting some time

 

[whodknee]

Berrios is making his case....

This is straight dookie. Fischer looked like hot garbage the entire drive

 

[TexanBorn51]

Slovis > Berrios again!!

 

[TexanBorn51]

I see Deculus in there LT no?

 

[OptimisticTexan]

Berrios is making his case....

Berrios is making a heck of a case today.

 

[Carr Bombed]

I can't wait until Metchie gets his pink slip.. what a bust.

 

[whodknee]

Time for a turnover

 

[TexanBorn51]

yo!

 

[Dejaview]

It just doesn’t seem to me that Slovis has good downfield vision. Way to slow to get a play developing

 

[TheRealJoker V2]

Would like to see them go run heavy next drive. Want to see more of Jordan.

 

[HouSportsWriter]

Berrios > Metchi

 

[TexanBorn51]

Yea my man British Brooks! unsung hero from past

 

[TheRealJoker V2]

British Brooks is back!

 

[HouSportsWriter]

What a special team hit brooks!

 

[OptimisticTexan]

Oh man-o-man!!!!! The British Bulldog delivered a major impact!!!!!

 

[OptimisticTexan]

It just doesn’t seem to me that Slovis has good downfield vision. Way to slow to get a play developing

Yeah, he missed his opportunity to get the ball out to whoever that was that was open ahead of the DB coming back towards Slovis.

 

[Carr Bombed]

Would be nice to see some pressure from this great deep defense

 

[HouSportsWriter]

Put in mertz!

 

[TexanBorn51]

wow guardian caps on helmets idnk helps on hard hits to head no?

 

[Carr Bombed]

OMG A PUNT!!

 

[Dejaview]

Yeah, gotta look better against backups

 

[HouSportsWriter]

Lets go mertz!

 

[OptimisticTexan]

Put in mertz!

Well, Mertz is in….let’s see what the young man can do.

 

[HouSportsWriter]

Mertz was eyeing metchi that whole time. Lucky safety did not eye in on it.

 

[Texansballer74]

Metchie is having himself a pretty good game

 

[TexanBorn51]

Wow technology for ball placement on field amazing

 

[Texansballer74]

Good run by Woody

 

[Carr Bombed]

Vet play by Mertz..

 

[KoolAid Sipper]

Big head mode in effect

Depth on both sides trash. Caley system looks little different vs Slowick. Can’t run ball, just a bunch of short dumps to receivers getting no separation. Mills & Slovik bottom feeders. OL a$$. As starters go so will Texans.

Positives, Hutchinson, Yeast. Metchie has minimal trade value (7th). Special Teams.

Agreed, not too many positives, but we looked better early on, when it was our 2nd stringers playing.

Can see why the reports out of camp have been down on the O, but having not seen the starters out there i can keep hope that it will be ok once the season begins!

Unfortunately I have to count on y'all's observations. I can only keep up with the game via Youtube and I can't see the game! Based on the time left in the half I assumed the defense would go to medium to deep coverage.

Speed and MJ Stewart had good games also

Don’t know if I’m missing something but it still requires the ref to pick the ball up and put it down where they see fit?

Other sports such as Cricket & tennis capable of tracking ball placement without the need for human intervention, why not use their system (“Hawkeye”), and remove the potential for human error?

 

[TxnsJuggernaut1]

I don't think we can read too much into Slowik vs Caley when it comes to who is better between the two. It is not like Caley is going call this early preseason game anything like he will in the regular season!

 

[HouSportsWriter]

Boo metchie!

Mills did great I thought, led the team straight down the field for a TD, 4/5 50 yards and a TD.. what else do you want him to do? Lol, He only had one drive.

 

[KoolAid Sipper]

Metchie had the CB beat, if Mertz leads him it's higher chance for a completion. But it was under thrown making it more difficult.

Money to supply sophisticated technology in every stadium............and ego.

 

[TxnsJuggernaut1]

I look forward to the final preseason game as the one we need to look like a contender going into the regular season. A lot more talent evaluation in the early preseason trying to find diamonds in the rough.

I've been wondering this for years. Just tradition I think. Baseball didn't adopt instant replay until decades after it was a proven benefit in other sports.

He had both hands on the ball… yes underthrown.. but should of been caught
