Around SBN: Explaining Jeremy Lin's Early, Surprising Success

Open Gameday Thread--Houston v. Tennessee

Brb_tiny by Tim on in News

Today, your Houston Texans are in Nashville once again to meet up with the Titans of Tennessee.  Will LP Field be the site of yet another Texans turnaround?  Or will the Almighty permit Bud Adams to once again crush the hopes and dreams of the Houston faithful?  If the latter happens, I'm pretty sure I'm headed to jail.

Leave your pre-game, in-game, and post-game views and rants in the Comments below.  GO TEXANS!

Houston Texans: Wild Card 2007!

by 5stringJeff on Dec 2, 2007 11:20 AM CST reply actions  

And now, some quick QB Stats
Matt Schaub: 189/284 (66.5%) for 2207 yards, 9 TDs, 9 INTs, 87.3 season rating

Vince Young: 162/264 (61.4%) for 1663 yards, 5 TDs, 13 INTs, 65.3 season rating

Clearly, the JUGEERNAUT (apologies to MDC) has the better passing QB.

Great day
The game is actually on television here.

Dayne Trayne
Ran right at Albert H and got 5.  Nice start.

by MDC on Dec 2, 2007 12:04 PM CST reply actions  

DAMN
Trayne got his feet tangled or that one was huge.

FIRST DOWN!!!

by MDC on Dec 2, 2007 12:05 PM CST up reply actions  

OD
With a catch and no fumble.  This is a good sign.

by MDC on Dec 2, 2007 12:06 PM CST reply actions  

owen
thank god he went out of bounds

by pweco113 on Dec 2, 2007 12:06 PM CST reply actions  

That was AJ.
OD got tackled in the field of play and held the ball.

More importantly, Dayne is beating Tennessee like they stole his candy.

The Gametracker is about 90 seconds behind real time.

Dayne's Got All That
Plus about forty pounds.

40?
That's just on the left side, correct?

by MDC on Dec 2, 2007 12:10 PM CST up reply actions  

mccain...
is probably bitching that Mario is nowhere to be seen at this point in the game.  He's been just invisible.

Leach
I love it when that dude hits people on special teams.  He seems thrilled to be hitting people smaller than D-linemen.

Is Haynesworth in?

Yeah
They went right at him at least three times on that drive, as if to say "blow me."

by MDC on Dec 2, 2007 12:20 PM CST up reply actions  

Young
overthrows WR, but he got to the edge WAY too easily there.

by MDC on Dec 2, 2007 12:19 PM CST reply actions  

TJ
Just punked LenWhale

by MDC on Dec 2, 2007 12:20 PM CST reply actions  

Four WR set
for the Titans.

Damn, looked like a catch and fumble, but it was just incomplete.

Flag on play.

by MDC on Dec 2, 2007 12:21 PM CST reply actions  

Ineligible man downfield
Weird, someone came right at Vince on that play and just froze one yard from him.  I need to rewind.

by MDC on Dec 2, 2007 12:22 PM CST up reply actions  

It was Amobi
looked like he realized it was Young at the last second.

Also, Whale just ran for 16.

by MDC on Dec 2, 2007 12:23 PM CST up reply actions  

Mario and Morlon
with a nice stop.

Love it when that happens.

(Also, hi Dick Justice.  I know you are reading, you talentless ass muncher.)

by MDC on Dec 2, 2007 12:24 PM CST reply actions  

Mike Williams
has a visible gut.

Earl Cochran called for a late hit foul.  shit.

The Fred
blanketing Roydell Williams pretty well.

Scaife

Houston Texans: Wild Card 2007!

by 5stringJeff on Dec 2, 2007 12:30 PM CST reply actions  

Young
has all day to throw, and I saw at least one zone blitz mixed in.

by Triple347 on Dec 2, 2007 12:30 PM CST reply actions  

The first part is bad,
the second part is good.

Seriously, though, we might want to mix in a little run defense.

by MDC on Dec 2, 2007 12:31 PM CST up reply actions  

Dayne
is looking--and I can't believe I am using this word--fantastic right now.

by MDC on Dec 2, 2007 12:35 PM CST reply actions  

Salaam
got whipped by Vanden Bosch

MOTHERFUCKER
Antwaan Odom just hurt Schaub.  Looks like his left arm is fucked up.

by MDC on Dec 2, 2007 12:39 PM CST up reply actions  

how
big a injury is that?

by pweco113 on Dec 2, 2007 12:39 PM CST up reply actions  

Pain-wise
he was still on the ground when they came back from commercial and he had people helping him to the lockerroom.  I'm guessing he won't be back.

by MDC on Dec 2, 2007 12:40 PM CST up reply actions  

Possibly
Season-ending.
Houston Texans: Wild Card 2007!

by 5stringJeff on Dec 2, 2007 12:41 PM CST up reply actions  

As per Wikipedia
If it's sprained, it's just treated via drugs and some time off.  Maybe 2-4 weeks.

If it's separated, 6 weeks minimum.  So he might be back for Super Bowl XLII.

Raining
Maybe this slows the track and makes Shamu and VY easier to contain.

by MDC on Dec 2, 2007 12:39 PM CST reply actions  

DeMeco
tripped up Young, preventing the first.

We dropped nine men into coverage there.  And it worked.

by MDC on Dec 2, 2007 12:42 PM CST reply actions  

Good bounce for them
ball downed at 5.

JJ looked scared.

by MDC on Dec 2, 2007 12:42 PM CST reply actions  

Dayne
tripped over Flanagan, who was shoved about four yards by Haynesworth.

by MDC on Dec 2, 2007 12:43 PM CST reply actions  

Flanagan
just got destroyed by haynesworth

by Triple347 on Dec 2, 2007 12:43 PM CST reply actions

They are blitzing the shit out of us.

Matt Turk

Or is he just schizophrenic?

Neither answer would surprise me.
Petey on the field right now.

DAMN!  Deflected ball we couldn't intercept.  How many extra chances are we going to give them?

by MDC on Dec 2, 2007 12:52 PM CST up reply actions  

3d & 9
And it's a DROP!  Nice.

FYI--We are actually blitzing today.  Suck on THAT, John McClain.

by MDC on Dec 2, 2007 12:53 PM CST reply actions  

Zone Blitz, i assume
to keep VY from breaking off a large run?

There are some straight LB blitzes thrown in there.

I honestly have no idea.
This season is bizarre.  I've never seen a team injured so much.

I came back from squeezing in some shoveling and de-icing to see Schaub getting killed, and now I walk in to see Weary. I'll make the sacrifice to Durga and just stay outside in the snow, freezing my balls off.

What the hell
is with this formation we keep using?  Two TEs, a FB that we send in motion out wide, and one WR.  Not overly effective.

by MDC on Dec 2, 2007 1:15 PM CST reply actions  

I don't quite
understand the fascination with making Leach an everything guy.

3/5 perhaps.

14 straight games with a sack for the Texans.

I like the idea of the return.  I'm not sure about JJ flipping the ball to Fred at the 2, though.

by MDC on Dec 2, 2007 1:30 PM CST reply actions  

Yeah
That's a high-risk play.  Just run it out.

10-7 at the half.  With two big injuries, that's pretty good.

Are we giving AJ more looks?  
How's our young / unproven secondary looking?  

The radio keeps raving about VY's "perfect" throws.  Has he truly been playing that well?  Or are the announcers brainwashed longhorns?  (disclosure:  I'm a brainwashed longhorn).

Just a little?
Ware likes him.  "Nice job for a rookie."  He's been saying things like that all day.   Even on that td, Bennett was apparently in the right place;  VY just threw it "perfectly."

Only a little
because I am not in a giving mood.  He can take up any difference in the redemption received and the redemption deserved with Jacoby Jones.

by MDC on Dec 2, 2007 2:47 PM CST up reply actions  

But
has he looked good so far?  Strong tackles, tight coverage, etc.?  I only get what Ware decides to tell me.  

by HtownJuggernaut on Dec 2, 2007 2:48 PM CST up reply actions  

Oh
Yeah, he's looked good.  I wouldn't say he was in perfect position for the Williams TD, though, if only because he didn't look past and he kind of ran past the ball.  

Otherwise, he's looked really solid.

Another o-line injury.  Studdard's come in.

I blame MDC and his prayers to pagan gods.  Jehov-h no like-y.  First Commandment and all.

by HtownJuggernaut on Dec 2, 2007 2:50 PM CST reply actions  

I haven't blasphemed in weeks.
And the injuries pre-dated my heathen prayers.  Surely this isn't my fault.

I blame Casserly.

by MDC on Dec 2, 2007 2:52 PM CST up reply actions  

Fair enough.
Sigh.  If we're ravaged by injuries one year, then it's just bad luck.  When it's every freaking year, I start to wonder.  

Who's the team trainer again?  

by HtownJuggernaut on Dec 2, 2007 2:57 PM CST up reply actions  

4th down.
Pretty much have to go for it, right?

by MDC on Dec 2, 2007 2:51 PM CST reply actions  

We would
need a FG anyway, might as well get it now.

Did anyone see that ball
coming towards them? Slow fucking motion.

Terrible
defensive call on that long completion.

by Triple347 on Dec 2, 2007 2:56 PM CST reply actions  

Blitz
Blitz you god damn pansy.  Blitz the fucking quarterback.  Grow a pair of balls and run an aggressive defense.  Good god almighty I hate Richard Smith

Also,
I endorse your message.

by MDC on Dec 2, 2007 2:58 PM CST up reply actions  

Geez
Blitz = sacks, tackles for a loss.

Rush 3 = long gains.

Can't Rick Smith figure that out?

by 5stringJeff on Dec 2, 2007 2:57 PM CST reply actions  

All or nothing...
we're using our timeouts.  We HAVE to get the ball back without another first.

by MDC on Dec 2, 2007 2:57 PM CST reply actions  

Super Mario
broke the team record for sacks in a season!

Total bust
Seriously.  What a massive failure.

Why didn't Sage run out of bounds?!??!?

Disgusting
3 on 5 and they get to the QB?

by MDC on Dec 2, 2007 3:12 PM CST up reply actions  

Oh, I get it now
So that's why Sage is a really good career backup QB.
We can be critical of the draft picks, but in the end we always support the new Texan.
