Questions Jacques Reeves Should Be Answering

Scanning the official team site this afternoon, I came upon a feature in which Jacques Reeves answered ten (10) questions in the aftermath of Friday night's game. I realize employees of a team-run site can't really take the gloves off when interviewing players, so it's with great humility that I pose a few questions I'd like Jacques Reeves to answer:


1. How did it feel to return to a stadium populated by fans who, having watched you for the past several years, were completely giddy to see you playing for the opposition?

2. What's been your favorite part about being a Texan so far? Got to be making grown men weep in frustration, right?

3. When the Texans offered you $20,000,000.00 to come to Houston, did you think they were (a) joking and/or (b) under the influence?

4. Do you and Petey Faggins ever swap jerseys? You know, as a goof? Because I want to believe it's been him wearing No. 35 the past three (3) weeks.

5. Is there an unwritten team rule that requires at least one Texans CB to give a seven (7) yard cushion to a WR at all times?

6. When you answered that you'd say you've performed "aright" and/or "OK" in the preseason thus far (see linked interview in this post), you were fooling around, weren't you?

7. Final question (for now, anyway): This whole preseason look of yours--we'll call it "Eau De Petey--...it's a ploy, right? You're suckering the opposition in, aren't you? Making them think they can target you with reckless abandon and without any repercussion, only to emerge in Week One as a lockdown corner who's worth a multi-year, multi-million dollar deal once the regular season starts? This is all part of your master plan, isn't it? Please tell me this is all part of your master plan. Please. Don't make me beg.

If you've got any hard-hitting questions that you believe Jacques Reeves should answer, feel free to leave them in the Comments below.

8.

After the fifth or sixth pass that was clearly thrown to your guy because he was your guy, did you start to wonder if, perhaps, you were doing something wrong?

9. Do you feel guilty when you deposit your paychecks? Maybe just a little bit?

Yay, sports.

Question for Jaque

Have any of the Texans coaches told you (or any of your teammates) that it’s okay, if not prefered, to turn your head around and look for a flying football making its way towards your general direction?

It's Our Time.... or something...

10. After watching you play, what do you think about that song kids sing about you?

Frère Jacques, Frère Jacques,
Dormez-vous? Dormez-vous?
Sonnez les matines! Sonnez les matines!
Ding, ding, dong. Ding, ding, dong.

I didn’t even have to change the lyrics.

Wow

I think that marks the first time a nursery rhyme/kiddy song was incorporated into the discussion at BRB. Nice work.

Looking forward to a day when being a Texans fan doesn't mean that April is the highlight of my season...

How appropriate, and unfortunately accurate

It seemed brother Jacques was sleepwalking through the entire Cowboys game. If he does not wake up soon he may wind up on the bench.

consider the opponent

He looked ok in game one, just didn’t look for the ball.

Looked worse in game two, still not looking for the ball, but out of position a few more times.

Looked the worst v. the offense he practiced against all last year. So maybe he shouldn’t watch film, familiarity doesn’t help. He should just try to make a play on the ball Jacoby is carrying around.

Healthy and Turnover free 2008-09, and we win 11!

Question

Dear Mr. Jock Reeks,

I really don’t have a question…just a nick name you are earning.

Where’s the porn video of Rick Smith and three Drunk College girls that you black mailed him with?

Is it true

That ‘Jacques Reeves’ is French for ‘DeMarcus Faggins?’

What do you think of ESPN’s Chris “Don’t call me Mark” Berman referring to you in highlights as “Left his” Jacques “on the 40 yard line” Reeves?

As a Cowboy fan

Allow me to say just a few things:

1. I’m sorry.
2. Unfortunately, it’s not going to get better.
3. I wish I had come up with the nickname “Jock Reeves” last season.
4. Surely Houston will be able to afford to cut him this offseason.

I hope you guys are able to figure out a way to harness Reeves’ propensity to get targeted by using your other CBs to jump his route, even if they have to leave their men wide open. The Cowboys were never able to use his powers to the fullest.

Good luck against Indy!

It Ain't Getting Better

Unfortunately, I don’t see anything that could possibly make Smithiak cut Reeves just a few months after signing him. He’s not Quinn Gray; he plays a position of real need, and there’s no clear, proven, superior alternative.

I just threw up in my mouth a little after posting that last sentence.

Looking forward to a day when being a Texans fan doesn't mean that April is the highlight of my season...

Sorry, to clarify

I meant next offseason. I agree that you’re stuck with him for this one. Salaries have gotten pretty out of control as a result of so many teams having big cap room; there are probably a lot of Reeveses around the league.

Seriously though, good luck to the Texans this year. You guys seem to be on the rise.
