Jacques Reeves
Has looked like he really wants Antwaun Molden to take his job. I want to see a bunch of the rookie in the second half.
Looking forward to a day when being a Texans fan doesn't mean that April is the highlight of my season...

Antwaun needs to reach out and grab it.

I'm not sure I agree
We have Mario, Bennett, and DeMeco.
We got nothing opposite Mario at end last year, Travis Johnson is average at best, and Maddox is ass.
Greenwood might be our worst non-DB starter heading into 2008. Diles has some talent, but is he even average comparatively? I’d say that’s a stretch.
Safeties are below average, and until somebody steps up at CB2, we are ass there, too.
We’ve got three of the best at their positions, but none of the other 8 may be even average. That’s a huge problem. There’s talent, at least, but we need Cochran and Okam and Diles and maybe Adibi and Molden and Harrison to step in and step up.
by bigfatdrunk on Aug 22, 2008 10:28 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
btw
When I say average, I mean only starters around the league, not general depth.
by bigfatdrunk on Aug 22, 2008 10:30 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Greenwood
is definitely troubling me. No idea why he went from whatever level he was at last year to pure ass this year. Diles has shown some ability of late, so I’m willing to give him a pass.
I wouldn’t put Will Demps at below average, though with his hands he’s next in our long line of free safeties who should be strong safeties.
Reeves, Faggins, and Fletcher are horrid.
Yay, sports.

Interesting points
Mario, DeMeco,and Amobi are among the best… What I don’t like is the lack of aggression from the front seven in pass protection. It’s not because they aren’t good enough to apply pressure, its because they aren’t being instructed to.

still the preseason, though
In 2006, he was far more aggressive than in 2007. I think he can switch back, but we aren’t showing our cards yet.

by SOLIS on Aug 22, 2008 10:24 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Aggressive, sure.
But the FO numbers suggest that we weren’t really any better in 2006 than 2007. More sacks, sure, but not as effective overall, so it was a wash.
Yay, sports.
by MDC on Aug 22, 2008 10:26 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
didn't say better
Just aggressive. Which, I hope, means that Smith will blitz more than what seemed like never last year.
by bigfatdrunk on Aug 22, 2008 10:29 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
True.
But remember that his blitzes in 2006 were a lot of 4-man rushes with Travis or Mario dropping into coverage, like some kind of aborted zone blitz. That hampered Mario for sure and took him out of his highest best use.
Just friggin’ send 5 or 6, Richard. Mix in the zone blitz, but establish a real blitz first.
Yay, sports.

I really, truly thought Colvin was our key this year. But he looked more like a boxer out there, just kinda throwing punches and not actually moving for the ball.
