Week 6: Texans vs Saints

[Ranger Tom]

Was Carr trying to draw a flag there or did he develop sudden-onset dyspepsia?

 

[Bugman7star]

Held them to a FG try. I'll take that.

 

[Brisco_County]

Carr may have an injury from a previous game, maybe a rib. That hit was not hard enough to cause that much pain.

 

[Earl34]

You're not suggesting he's good at RT .... are ya' ?

He's a better RT than LG.

 

[76Texan]

Carr may have an injury from a previous game, maybe a rib. That hit was not hard enough to cause that much pain.

The hit wasn't even near the chest.

 

[leebigeztx]

As accurate as Stroud is…..I’m looking for a real mismatch type at WR or TE. Someone in the 6-6+ side that creates a jump throw in the red zone opportunity.

Nico is that guy, but also Johnny Wilson from FSU. I'm just not certain at his size if he's a te or Harold Carmichael.

 

[santo]

Hopefully Will shows out in the second half.

He's a better RT than LG.

Yes .... but he is good .... at neither !!

 

[TexansFan15]

I’d prefer K. Coleman (did you see his highlight catch from this weekend?) or J. Sanders

 

[TheRealJoker]

Didn't look like much.

LB’s arm wrapped around the liver similar to a left hook to the body. It doesn’t take much when you hit the button to have that paralyzing effect that Carr showed when he went down.

 

[Mangler]

Hopefully Will shows out in the second half.

Hard to do after being constantly triple teamed in the first half of the game. I don’t expect NO to all of a sudden let their backup LT go one on one with Will.

 

[Revrat]

Carr is getting nervous. Lets see some early pressure on him in the 3rd qtr please.

 

[welsh texan]

Nice lead at the half, have to boot the ball away to begin the 2nd so will be on the D to get a hold and give the O chance to go out and begin to put this one to bed.

 

[leebigeztx]

I’d prefer K. Coleman (did you see his highlight catch from this weekend?) or J. Sanders

I like Coleman too. Yeah, he's incredible. Me personally, I would just get a top end guy at that spot to replace Woods. The wr talent pool is deep.

 

[KoolAid Sipper]

Hopefully the staff doesn't sit still on the 1st half. Need to keep the pressure on the Saints on both sides of the ball.

 

[TheRealJoker]

Texans 20 rush 97 yards 4.9 avg first half.

Would love to double that effort in the second half!

we can't be watching the same game. Go look at the td by carr. They lined WA kinda inside vs the lg and he got washed down. 3rd and long, bull rush. He's not playing well from a pass rush standpoint, but I mean, he's playing like a rookie.

 

[OptimisticTexan]

As accurate as Stroud is…..I’m looking for a real mismatch type at WR or TE. Someone in the 6-6+ side that creates a jump throw in the red zone opportunity.

Couple of nice options:

WR- Johnny Wilson (Florida State) 6-7 @ 235 lbs. He’s a high point specialist who uses his height to his advantage.
TE- Luke Lachey (Iowa) 6-6 @ 253 lbs. Big soft handed TE who blocks and catches.

 

[welsh texan]

20 rushes and 17 pass attempts in the first half, very balanced O that is only effective if you can make both work, 4.9 yards per rushing attempt is the best I can remember the Texans doing for a number of years, we’ve got some really good OL coaching right now.

 

[austins23]

Running game showing some life
Pass rush needs a shot of life
Defense giving up lots of chunk plays
CJ is good
Meco needs to add some spice to his defense.
So far so good

They need to make sure to lock that offensive line coach down in Houston! Do not let him walk!

 

[Bugman7star]

If we can keep the run game going and make some adjustments on defense to prevent wide open receivers, we will be solid. I do anticipate the saints trying to kick start their own run game again. If that is the case we need to tackle better.

 

[thunderkyss]

97 rushing yards to start the half.

I'm impressed.

 

[MEGA SWATT]

Didn't look like much.

bc you’re sitting on a comfy couch

 

[Bugman7star]

Crap Griffin limping out. Injuries keep rocking us

 

[welsh texan]

Griffin looks like he just reinjured just as CnD predicted.

 

[JB]

Sack!

 

[Bugman7star]

Well executed blitz!

 

[Revrat]

Thank you!

 

[OptimisticTexan]

FINALLY A SACK!!!!!!!! Thank WAJ for making that happen. His pressure forced Carr to step up in the pocket and into the sack.

 

[santo]

Griffin looks like he just reinjured just as CnD predicted.

He was hit from the back by the Saints.

 

[76Texan]

Dial it up.
I like it.

 

[TheMatrix31]

Schlereth. ******* hilarious.

 

[Earl34]

Good stop!!

 

[Austrian]

Finally a sack

 

[TheRealJoker]

Pressure finally getting home! Griffin took a direct hit to the knee. Hope he’s ok.

 

[welsh texan]

Finally got good pressure on 3rd down, points would really set the tone for this 2nd half now.

 

[JB]

Pressure finally getting home! Griffin took a direct hit to the knee. Hope he’s ok.

 

[Number19]

Greenard with the sack

 

[Revrat]

How about a 7 minute run-heavy TD drive, please?

 

[Earl34]

He was hit from the back by the Saints.

That's unfortunate. Instead of running to the ball, he was just standing there, waiting for the ball to roll to him and got hit in the back.

 

[TheRealJoker]

Khalil Davis was collapsing the pocket earlier in the drive as well. I want to see more of him.

 

[welsh texan]

He was hit from the back by the Saints.

Really feel for him, playing well in season after a pre-season where he looked like his career could be done, but can’t stay healthy on the field.

 

[Porky]

DeMeco finally dialing up some pressure and it’s making a world of difference. This is how he wants to play…but I feel like he is concerned about getting burned deep. But I think the worm has turned late on the last drive of the first half and this opening drive.

 

[Texansballer74]

Darn good stop defense. Way to bring the heat Coach Cap

 

[JB]

Pierce is not a run wide guy

 

[welsh texan]

Pierce there, but it looks like he’d be better backing himself to beat the D to the corner but takes the cut back straight into nothing. The scheme really doesn’t seem to suit him does it.

 

[TexansFan15]

Sheesh! Let’s try someone else besides Pierce

 

[justmy2cents]

I don't know why they're still trying to run to the left !!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[leebigeztx]

Singletary needs more burn
