I'm proud of this team

There is no such thing as a moral victory in the NFL, but they came to play. I feel as good about a loos as I possibly can.

You know... for kids.

With 3 turnovers, 13 penalties, 1.5 quarters of middle school football...

…I’m surprised we had a shot. The team battled back on the road against a good team.

Do I hate the OLine and Kris Brown and not running a play in the 2nd quarter? Yes. Am I proud of the fight? Yes. Texans still in the wild card hunt? Yes.

No room for error. Get it right over the bye week.

by TexansDC on Nov 8, 2009 3:14 PM CST reply actions   2 recs

Rec +1

Yes we lost, but we played horrible in the 1st quarter on the road against an undefeated rival and still had a chance to win at the end. Im proud of the team for fighting and making plays even through all the miscues. As colts fans like to say, we showed our “nuts of competitiveness” today.

Great. Fucking. Game.

And the Colts somehow sneak away with another one.

The defense showed up with attitude and punched Indy in the fucking mouth. The offense pulled their usual second-half resurgence and fought back into the game. The same exact problems continue to plague us, but all in all, a great effort against the best team in football on the road. Maybe when they come to our house we won’t get jammed up the ass with a one-sided penalty count.

Oh, and the turnover count? Texans: 3, Colts: 2. That’s how it works. Protect the ball.

I’d written this game off as a loss, but it doesn’t make it hurt any less.

Still, Kubes should be able to use this as motivation.

FOR THE LOVE OF CHRIST

No offense, Kiratomi – but I’m so sick and tired of this.

We should not be 7-1 (I assume you mean 8-1)

Let me remind you, we lucked out in the Tennessee game.

… and BOTH the Jax and AZ games if I’m not mistaken – those goal line failures were to TIE, not to win. We lost those games because of horrible defense and turnovers.

We are what we are. 5-4… still in the playoff hunt, still a good team, but not ready to challenge the elite.

Eh

Im not happy, but we were at an undefeated Indy. After horrid 1st half we came back to nearly win it.

It showed we could hang with Indy at thier home. In 3 weeks when they come here, we should have a better then equal chance of taking a win.

I'm not discounting all the "positives", but

this pattern of one step up and two steps back has to end sometime. It’s not like this team doesn’t have talent or coaches who haven’t been around. Am i pissed about the outcome today. Yes. But, I am looking at the big picture over the past few seasons.

by Jersey Bill on Nov 8, 2009 3:27 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

I share your frustration

To come so close and still end up with nothing hurts like a sumbitch. But there’s a reason nobody picked us to win this (and that Vegas had the Colts at -9). We need to get better, but we did a lot of good stuff today.

How did we take two steps back?

After watching today’s game can you say the Texans aren’t as good as you thought they were? Because that was probably about as well as we’ve played collectively as a team all year. We lost by 3 points to the Colts on the road on a last second missed FG, and the Colts for the most part played as well as they always do. I don’t really believe in moral victories, but there was nothing in this loss that makes me think less of the Texans than I did heading into the game.

True to a point

But they didn’t force the Texans to commit stupid penalties or throw a needless interception (the first one. The second one I don’t blame Schaub for). Or fumble inside the one.

Those are all things we need to work on.

Im pretty sure they did force the interceptions and fumble, since they were the ones catching the ball and stripping the ball. ?? They had two turnovers too, I guess our guys had no part in those either. Bottom line, some good plays and some bad plays were made. Thats football. People are delusional in always expecting some perfect game at the pro level.

Agree that we made some plays

And, of course, demanding a perfect game is every fan’s right. :)

But that first INT was completely on Schaub. He underthrew a ball to AJ in triple coverage. He chose to throw it there. And I’m of the school of thought that says penalties can be limited by disciplined practice. There’s no reason to be doing things like lining up in the neutral zone or false starting. Those are unforced errors.

by tehGrindCrusher on Nov 8, 2009 3:39 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

no doubt it was. Manning made a near identical bad play himself. No player is flawless, thats football. People are going to nitpick this game for the next 2 weeks, but the bottomline is we played down to the last play against an undefeated team. Both sides make mistakes, thats football, but we are good enough to compete with the best in the league, and we will be entertained every game.

I agree with a lot of this

And I think that we have to always accept some mistakes in our team. But we made a lot of mistakes today. How many penalties did we commit on third down that gave the Colts a new set of downs? We need to cut that stuff out.

Yeah

That’s what I think we need to work on. For me the pain comes from knowing that if we just play with our normal level of discipline we may well have won this.

If we do that in Reliant in a few weeks, we could dominate.

Things to fix over the bye week

Two Achilles heels of this offense:
-RB turnovers (Moats fumble)
and
-Middle OL Play (Blown Myers block on the stunt that caused the INT).

Defense:
-Never cover Dallas Clark with a linebacker again
-Dunta to the nickel CB.

Rivers

I really got the sense that the Texans just decided to allow Clark to get his yards underneath, limiting his yards to some extent and taking the deep threat out of the game. It seemed like Clark was open a lot because he was in single coverage. I think the Texans brain trust basically decided to concede some of the shorter stuff with respect to Clark.

If that’s the case, I actually like the approach the Texans took.

Your thoughts?

Also G-lover and Pollard had very good games, imo.

You saw how it worked on the field

I thought Glover played well enough for the game ball.

They pretty much picked us apart either way….IMO, the Colts are an offense that calls for a boom or bust approach. We “held” them to 20 points, but that was with the head-scratching Wayne INT, a lot of possession, two turnovers, and a lot of red zone help. That was pretty much the best-case scenario that we could’ve scripted out of that game plan.

Not that there is necessarily a “right” answer to this question. I would’ve liked to see the blitzes keep coming and I didn’t see all that many.

So, even in your “except for that big play” world, he still kept us in the game literally.

Which of Quin’s plays came on one of the dumbest in-game trick plays of the past few years and amounted to nothing more than having to catch a high school practice quality deep ball?

Which is to say, fair point, but I’m gonna devalue that. You guys can ride your Pollard boners up as high as you’d like for it. Totally understand considering the utter lack of quality safety play we’ve seen prior to him.

Quinn has been pretty solid for a rookie. He’ll definitely get better as the season goes.

so are you de-valuing

Pollard’s season, or his play on Sunday?

Cuz I’m just talking who had the better game on Sunday. Big plays matter in the NFL, easy or not.

It was pretty easy for Moats to catch that TD pass, even though he almost dropped it. It still counted 6 points.

Im guessing you havent paid any attention. The play comes in from the coaches, Matt doesnt call his own plays. The fumble happened on the far side of the field. Burning the clock down to the 2min warning was the tactical move to make so when you score you dont give the Colts a free timeout. Blaming it on Matt doesnt make any sense, he was only doing what he was told to do. You are just blindly assuming he was able to see the replay on the field, we have no idea if he was shown in time for him or not.

since when do you need guys in the booth to see that shit? and i disagree. if you make a big play, and you have it at the goalline, you run a quick play, maybe a qb sneak or a draw, try and get em offsides, or out of position. and after the play u still have 3 left, plus stoppage becuz of the 2 min warning.

Banning

Yes, the ban thing is a joke. It stems from BBS’s atrocious, hypocritical behavior earlier in the week. We’ve never banned anybody at BRB while BBS deletes comments that he simply doesn’t agree with.

So when you talk about us being “pussies” or whatever, I’d like something with which to back that up. We don’t censor because we don’t agree.

Note to self: Insert something witty here.

by bigfatdrunk on Nov 8, 2009 6:03 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

I'll respond to this

Because bigfatdrunk is simply making crap up and getting things confused. Banning from most SB Nation blogs, including Stampede Blue, is not done because one commenter disagrees with another, or with the head writer. If I banned people for those kinds of reason, half of Stampede Blue would be banned over the “Joseph Addai Controversy” which still continues to divide our community. At Stampede Blue, like most other blogs, people are rarely banned, but when they are it is because they are acting like jack-offs.

And several Houston Texans fans have acted like jack-offs this past week.

I had one guy create a fake account on Stampede Blue, create a FanPost called “BigBlueShoe is a Pussy.” In the FanPost he ranted and raved about how I’d banned him for “talking trash” leading up to the Texans game. Of course, I banned his second account and deleted the FanPost. I’ve never seen another fan do that at a rival blog. You’ve set a low standard for fan behavior, Texans fans. Take a bow.

Comments similar to that FanPost were spread throughout Stampede Blue by multiple Texans fans who frequent this site, and after numerous warnings, for some reason those asshat Houston Texans fans. just. don’t. friggin. get. it. When I say stop doing it, I really f*cking mean it. Yet, some of you continued to act like sniveling pricks.

Thus, banhammer.

I’m happy to disagree with any of you about the game of football. I encourage it. Many of you said the Texans were better than the Colts and would win this game. Clearly, YOU WERE WRONG. You don’t see me banning you for disagreeing with me, and being WRONG, do you? However, unless I post a thread that says “Trash Talk Here” (which I rarely do) I’m not going to take to morons and schmucks coming into my blog looking to cause trouble and “start shit.” And for many of you, when the head of a site gives you a warning to please stop, for most intelligent people on this planet, they take that as a not so subtle hint to STOP ACTING LIKE A TROLL! Yet, once again, some of you just. don’t. friggin. get. it.

Many of your more consistent and vocal commentators here have been banned from multiple SB Nation sites, like CFHTim, who has been banned from three. I mean seriously, you really have to be a class-A jack-off to get banned from three sites in this network. Believe it or not, Stampede Blue is not one of the sites to ban CFHTim. Want to know why?

Because when I tell him to stop acting like a prick, HE LISTENS TO ME!

OMFG!

So, if you want to take a lesson from this, take it from Tim. When BigBlueShoe tells you to stop being a schmuck tard at Stampede Blue, f*cking listen to him. If you don’t: Banhammer. And crawling back here and crying about it, as bigfatdrunk looks right about now, makes you look like a loser.

There. Glad I cleared that up. By all means, return to your normal behavior of posting “pictures” of me looking like a moron, insulting my mothers, or whatever ease you Texans fans do to make yourselves feel self important.

Here is the last comment of mine that BBS deleted last week. This was a comment on his “game thread” which spent 3/4 of the text berating Texans fans in general.

Obviously, this post was full of trolling and inappropriate comments, and completely deserved to be deleted. It had nothing at all to do with the simple fact that BBS did not agree with my comments.

So I don’t appreciate your judgmental words, and don’t use me in any arguments meant to defend yourself.

Thanks for clarifying that, BBS.

Since I almost never posted at SB, even pre-banning, and since I didn’t do anything remotely resembling what you described in this post, I presume that you are going to un-ban me? Because all I did was state that you were overreacting. Which your banning me kind of proved.

That one hurt...

My wife and I were at a local sports bar here in San Diego cheering on our Texans this morning. Shockingly there were a ton of Indy fans and I know there are not that many damn people from Indiana. For the most part I believe they were all Manning Lovers and/or band wagon fans. The ups and downs of this game were probably some of the most painful I have experienced and I have been a fan since day one.

The only good thing I got out of it was that our boys never let up. They kept coming after them. Oh, another thing that was interesting was that this bar is a New England bar. During the last 5 minutes of our game all of the Pat fans were cheering for us and even the owner came over to console me after Kris Brown missed the field goal. I dont know how much of a rarity it is for Pats fans to show some love, but they showed alot of love towards our Texans.

the fumble at the 1

I don’t know if this was said already, but it looked like both his feet were in bounds, he picked it up, still inbounds, and on his own advanced the ball to the 1/2 yard line, then he was knocked out.

How could they possibly say that goes to the 20?

We lost the game, but we didn’t get any bounces at all.

but both feet were in bounds, then he advanced it out of the end zone, its not like a punt where its just down when it touches the goal line. Its an advancable play

right the replay i saw showed him justmp back in bounds and touch it where i said i didn't

see what happend after but still if he advances into the end zone then goes out it is a touch back. cause he was nocked out of bounds our of the end zone right or downed in the end zone?

yeah, only on O

If he re-establishes his feet back in bounds, he can touch it.

ok, riddle me this

middle of the field, random offensive player (Slaton) fumbles the ball at the one yard line. Random defensive player picks up the ball that is sitting on the goal line. He runs the ball to the five yard line, where he is then tackled.

Do you spot the ball at the 20, or the 5?

Cuz thats what happened on the play. He advanced the ball out of the end zone, then went out of bounds. It wasn’t a punt, or a touchdown, which ends the play when the ball crosses the plane.

Am I incorrect in thinking a ball fumbled into the end zone can be advanced out of the end zone by the recovering (defensive) team?

hmmmm

Maybe I’m changing my mind. Here’s the play (CFHTim, close your eyes):

http://www.nfl.com/videos/nfl-game-highlights/09000d5d81406109/Texans-fumble-at-goal-line

It does look like Powers re-establishes himself on the field, but it’s close. He has to get both feet in to “recover” the fumble. If you believe he is still OOB, then it’s the right call. If he is in bounds, and it looks like that to me, should be Colts ball on the 1/2 yard line.

Note to self: Insert something witty here.

the replay official

said he only got one foot back, which is why they called it a touchback.

Two feet in, and its a missed call, IMO.

what do you think?

One feet or two? I think he got both in.

I agree

which makes it a bad call.

after trying to click

on your link tex my comp. messed up so i couldn’t look at it. from what i remember from the play it def. was close and that second foot if it wasn’t touching when he touchted the ball it is the right call and it looked like it touched at the same time he touched the ball so i thinkit could have gone either way.

GO COLTS!!! 09 IS OURS!!!

ok I'll go one better

the tackling Colts defender keeps the ball in play with his hand. Watch the movement of the ball after Moats drops it. Its moving in the same direction Moats is, out of bounds. Then it moves back into the field of play, touched by what looks like the Colts player, who’s back is out of bounds.

Texans ball at the one. Colts player touched the fumbled ball while out of bounds.

Not only that, but the ruling on the field was no fumble, and without conclusive evidence that the Colts player DIDN’T touch it in the manner I describe above (which it looks like he did to me) you would have to go with the ruling on the field.

by texanphil on Nov 8, 2009 8:40 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

now there appears to be conflicting rules

on this page under the title EFFECTS:

two things come into play.

1. Fumble forward out of bounds – goes to fumbling team AT THE SPOT OF THE FUMBLE (can’t fumble forward)

2. Fumble out of bounds into the end zone – touchback (as called on the field)

So assuming the refs applied rule two, then they are saying that the ball was indeed fumbled out of bounds, so rule one should apply.

It sucks that the ruling on the field was CHANGED. Thats the biggest problem I have with this.

I don't understand how they could look at it as long as they did

…and say he only got one foot in bounds. It was pretty obvious he had two. Strange call. I’ll def. be tuning in tomorrow to hear if Kubiak clarifies what happened or if he’s going to ask the league for a clarification.

In the end, yes - it's this.

Could have avoided disaster if our booth team had half a brain. They’ve ALWAYS been horrible at this since Kubes started here.

by HoustonDiehards on Nov 8, 2009 8:50 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

So...

In your play, it’s defensive ball on the 20.

The issue on our play is whether or not Powers is re-established on the field. The refs said no. I now think that’s wrong. His little bunny hop changes it.

by bigfatdrunk on Nov 8, 2009 8:23 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

why?

the defense can advance a fumble out of their own end zone, I’m pretty sure.

i think it could really have gone either way

nd i dont say it just cause im a colts fan. so i say thats just one of those calls that if it really was not in bounds it was probably an honest mistake that was to close to call. the question is though what was the original call cause if they just didn’t find indesputibal evedince of otherwise the call stands

well one thing to consider is camera angle

on the replay we saw it was close , but ive seen chain measurements with a camera angle that looks like its short when in reality it was a first down , so their different angles on the replay system might have showed just one feet at the moment of touching the ball , they spent a hell lot of time reviewing it its hard to believe they didnt have conclusive evidence.

by thebossuzzi on Nov 8, 2009 9:45 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

i dont think

that a fumble recovered in the endzone can be advanced. or since it was fumbled forwards. i dont know.

As long as we have Peyton we will always have a chance to win.

by skywalker on Nov 8, 2009 11:56 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

if the defense recovers in their own end zone

they can advance it.

The fumble forwards works even more in the Texans favor, since the ball would go back to us.

But I think the ruling was made because the officials determined one foot back in play instead of two.

If they determined two back in play, it should have been Colts ball at the one.

Thats what I was thinking too. After the fumble, though, I was too pissed off to care about where they got the fuggin ball.

by texanphil on Nov 9, 2009 11:55 AM CST up reply actions   0 recs

it depends on how he went out.

such as in kickoffs and such if you go out you cant be the first to touch it unless you were pushed out. the push out also extends to other plays i believe. and in that situation i believe he was and then came in. even if not i think it is diffrent when it is a fumble

i disagree.

dunta played him about as well as he could.
i said earlier in the week that if dunta held him to less than 6 catches, texans win. well, he finished with only 6 or 7, and it wasn’t a defensive letdown that led to this loss. wayne was pretty much a non factor. dunta had on PI, butso did wayne. besids the fact that wayne was NEVER open. even on the ones he caught, dunta was close. great great job today for dunta, even if many don’t acknowledge it.

stats

it seems like you argue both sides of the coin.

On one hand, a few weeks back you used stats to prove that our defense, while improving, still wasn’t good.

Then in this comment you say “interceptions != good coverage”. If we get the stats that you wanted, they aren’t good for a reason other than stats. If they don’t get the stats, that proves they aren’t good.

Email I got from BBS after I told him he was being a douche

My record as a moderator for a blog shows that I ban very few people. However, several Texans fans this week posted things that went far beyond a poster writing the word “douchebag.” I don’t ban people for cursing, or writing the word douchebag. I ban people who lack douchebags despite numerous warnings to stop.

I’ll just say that this week in particular, Texans fans (in general) were insufferable. Trash talk is OK, but Texans fans seem to add a mean-spirited doucheness to the talk. How a team as bad as the Texans (historically) can have fans who think they can talk trash makes no sense to me.

But, regardless of that, people who were banned were banned because they acted like jerks. They can apply to be unbanned if they want.

The following statement is not meant to disparage the Colts. I know people will take it that way, this is aimed at the league.

As a referee, you can pretty much call a foul on any play. There is always something going on. The refs don’t do that of course because the game would take nine hours. So they call the most agregious (sp?) fouls and stuff that is obvious.

Now whats better for the league?

1. Undefeated Colts vs. New England on Monday night Football

or

2. Texans beating Colts in early Sunday game?

I just find it very odd that we rack up a record number of penalties in the game that could ruin the Colts undefeated season before their MNF matchup with the Patriots.

Ya ya, I know it sounds like sour grapes. Ya we had PLENTY of chances to put that game away.

I just find it very suspicious the way it played out.

Deja Vu

We have four losses. One bad, unfixable loss. And three times losing on the final play of the game which would have sent it to overtime.

We should be 5-4, I’m not saying otherwise. We’ve earned our 5 wins. And we’ve earned our 4 losses. We are not clutch enough to make a play when one needs to be made.

The other side says, well the Cardinals just wanted it more. Or the Jags. But three times in 9 games the Texans needed one play to send it to overtime. Maybe we still lose all three games in OT. But even one win in OT puts us in a much better position, obviously.

We have to decide if we can be clutch enough to make the tough play when it matters most.

I don't share your opinion

that yesterday was a total disaster of a game.

the first quarter was not good, but the defense kept us in the game, even in that quarter.

The 2-4th quarters were outstanding. If you look at yesterday’s game in a vacuum without considering any previous game the Texans have ever played, I say we lost a tough game, battled back, and beat ourselves more than the Colts beat us.

I can’t look at that game and say the Colts beat us. We beat ourselves at crucial times, and the whole first quarter.

One constant factor in all three losses

fumbles at the goal line. Even though the Moats fumble wasn’t at the end of the game, that could have sealed with win, but Kubiak took his sweet time instead of running a play to prevent the review. That’s what cost us the game, not the Kris Brown missed FG.

I would challenge you to a battle of wits, but you appear to be unarmed.

a lot of stuff cost us the game

the crucial, worst possible time penalties, the first quarter, on and on…

But all that stuff aside, we still had a chance, on the last play of the game, to send it to overtime. For the third time this season. And we’re 0-3 on that play this year.

So, you're gonna blame Kubiak for Moats' fumble?

Classy.
Kubes and the offense was doing exactly what they should have. We were fortunate enough to get 3-4 replays on TV that they didn’t have access to, or even have knowledge of a questionable outcome.
How about you whiners and finger-pointers point the blame at the guy who couldn’t hold the fuggin ball?

Who knows

We’ve had our problems at the goal line this year. Maybe our drive stalls out at the one and we settle for a field goal. I have a hard time blaming Kubes for that.

I do blame him for not having the team ready to play in the first quarter. But I give him credit for getting the team back on track.

Our defense is significantly better than it was last year. It is now pretty much average and could be slightly above average by the end of the year. If this team learns how to focus and stay disciplined (another thing I blame the coaches for) it will give us some real meaningful games in the last few weeks of the season.

This loss stings, but only because of what might have been. It’s a totally different feeling from the Jets loss.

Not being prepared...

I dunno, man. Is it Kubes responsibility to pass block on the sacks, or misread a coverage and force a ball to Andre? I have a really tough time with the whole “having the team prepared” thing. I think it’s an easy way out when we have a couple of players that, for some reason, take a few series to get going.

I don’t buy it against the colts. The defense game plan might have seemed absolutely retarded, but we got to the half down 13, against one of the best offenses, and best defenses(best by scoring) in the league. We then stormed back to take the lead late in the game. Kubes did his job. bush did his job.

But it is frustrating that you can count on a 3 and out, or turnover for our first posession of each game. Last year we were putting up touchdowns on opening drives, and now we haven’t scored on an opening drive all season long.

so it’s 3rd and 1, Colts are driving to score to go up. payton drops back, hits wayne on a comeback route, wayne makes the catch, and dunta jars it loose with a helluva play. only thing was….
conner barwin was offsides.
wayne didn’t score. payton didn’t even look his way in the redzone! i don’t know what the hell you guys expect from your NFL cornerbacks… (as if the texans have had consistent pro bowlers to compare to) but dunta is DAMN good one. stop hating just to “hate.” those who do sound petty and ignorant.

We are disappointed that Dunta can’t tackle anymore. He FAILS to make way more plays than he does make right now.

If he would wrap up runners and take them down instead of being a 1.5 second blur on the screen that is flying past or bouncing off of the runner, I would be ok with him.

People are hating just to hate.

He held arguably the 2nd or 3rd best receiver in the league to 64 yards, no TD’s and the longest pass play to a player that makes highlight film after highlight film of long TD scores was just 15 yards – I would take that all day long on a premier receiver like Wayne. We are VERY lucky to have Dunta, Reeves and Quinn whether or not you like the man personally has nothing to do with his ability to play CB. Is he the best to every play the position? No. Is he top 5? No. is he top 10? Probably. There are so many other teams that have problems in the secondary. Listen to any radio show on Monday AM and listen to how many secondarys get ripped game after game. He played well yesterday and we didn’t lose yesterday b/c he got tourched all day because he didn’t. Our entire secondary played great yesterday. Our defense kept us in the game which has never really happend before this year.

Maybe so but you can’t tell me that you agree with Bobo about Dunta being a top 10 CB. That’s absurd. He’s slightly above average at best. He had the potential to be a true shutdown corner before his injury but it’s clear that he’s lost some speed. I really dont know what happened to his tackling but he used to be pretty damn solid. Maybe he’s doing something different or needs to practice it more but it’s something that he can work on and get better at. The speed? That’s forever lost. Just like the long term contract he was gonna get it he didn’t get injured.

I notice him fly by without even touching people, and it makes me feel like he is avoiding the contact on purpose. He was giving Wayne a 10 yard cushion, that is why Wayne didn’t beat him over the top. But everytime Peightan needed some yards he just hit a wide-open Wayne comeback route for a first down.

He’s probably the 2nd or 3rd best WR in the league and you think giving him 64 yards receiving with 0 TD’s and the most yards he got on one pass play was 15 and you think Wayne just took it to Dunta, give me a break.

The thing is....

Peyton didn’t need to go to Wayne because we were giving Clark all the room he needs to make a catch.

He just went with the more efficient play that would most certainly give them the yards that they need. It’s not that Peyton was scared of throwing to Dunta, it’s because throwing to Clark was a better option.

I was watching same game as you.

But while you look for the positives in his play, I notice all the negatives. Cushing couldn’t cover Clark, I don’t dispute that. But I also don’t dispute Cush’s effort or dedication to his team.

Agree AP dwarfs CJ

But, as much as it pains me to say it, CJ is apparently a pretty good one-trick fuckbag.
Now, the caveat to that is, he’s their whole offense, so they feed him the ball constantly. Anyone that fast, who gets the ball that much, is going to break some long runs every so often. Couple that with the fact that the besf’s line is the best run blocking line in the league, and CJ’s gonna look pretty good.
Also, they do have the stats on their side. Basically, he’s gonna end up as their only pro-bowler, and they’re fighting tooth and nail to keep at least that much love.
