Around SBN: Cal RB Jahvid Best Seriously Injured, Carted Off Field

Open Gameday Thread: Denver v. Houston

Denver Broncos at Houston Texans, Aug 9, 2008 7:00 PM CDT


It ain't the regular season, but after six (6) months of fasting...it's going to feel damn good to watch some football. Our friends from Denver come to town tonight; we all remember what happened to them the last time they visited Reliant. Although this game doesn't count in the standings, there's a lot to watch. How does Schaub look? The rookies? Newly-signed free agents? I'm giddy just thinking about it.

Long Overdue

It may only be pre-season, but at this point who cares!? It’s just great to get to see some Texans football finally!

Maybe Mario can put Cutler on his backside a couple times tonight as well.

He’s a rookie DT out of Utah.

P.S. Adibi was coming in the middle on the blitz, which allowed Long to get a 1-on-1 matchup and get his hand up for the deflected pass

Roberson

of the DelJuan variety… how is he looking? Apparently he just had a Will Demps interception impression.

by socctty on Aug 9, 2008 9:09 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

was a tip and a hard adjustment

I always said, if you can touch it you can catch it, and he maybe shoulda had it, but it wasn’t dempsian.

by bigfatdrunk on Aug 9, 2008 9:11 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

It wasn't slick willie style

The ball was deflected, and the receiver’s left hand was in-between Roberson’s hands when the ball arrived…....so a pretty tough catch to make.

More Slaton

What formations has he been used in? It’s only one game, but apparently he’s not a between the tackles guy. I think it would be best to have him in a split backfield with a bigger back, like Chris Brown; Slaton should end the year with about 50 carries and 35 catches.
