Texans Avoid The Letdown, Beat Oakland 31-24

PrintIt was both ugly and beautiful at times, but that is the roller coaster ride that comes with rooting for the Houston Texans.
The Houston Texans avoided the let down and beat the Oakland Raiders 31-24. The Texans move to 3-1, for the first time in franchise history, and continue to sit atop the AFC South. Yes, forget about the game for a second, and allow that fact to sink in. Your Houston Texans are 3-1 and leading the AFC South by a game over Tennessee and Jacksonville.
If you missed the game then allow me to recap it for you. The Texans ran, behind Steve Slaton and Derrick Ward, to a pair of early touchdowns and stopped running. The Raiders were able to figure out Frank Bush's defense and answered the Houston scores. After a missed Neil Rackers field goal, the game was tied at 14 after the first half.
During halftime, someone must have gotten a clue as the Texans came out to a dominant third quarter. Houston ran the ball for 121 yards, including a franchise-record 74-yard touchdown run by Arian Foster, and held Oakland to a minuscule 28 total yards of offense. The Texans seemed unstoppable, and all was right in the world, right?
Well, not quite as the Raiders managed to claw back and make it a game until Troy Nolan essentially ended it with his second interception. Yes, you read that correctly. The Texans had two interceptions from a free safety. Unreal, right?
I know some would've preferred to see the Texans not allow the Raiders to make it a game in the fourth quarter, but the only thing that matters is the "W." The Texans - minus Andre Johnson, Brian Cushing, and Duane Brown - did enough to win the game, move to 3-1, and, maybe, find a playmaking free safety to help improve that secondary.
Next week: The Return of Brian, but let's revel in today's victory before we look ahead. The comments are all yours so let the praise flow and the good times roll, BRBers.

I'll be interested to see how he looks after rivers charts him.
My guess? Aside from the two picks, pretty much the same.
Don’t get me wrong, that’s a huge upgrade. Turnovers are quite nice. The unfortunate thing is, he’s not going to get two interceptions every game. And when he doesn’t, methinks he’ll be contributing about as little as Eugene Wilson.
I saw him put a good hit on someone as ell.

Hasn't Wilson missed 3
including the one last week that could have been a pick 6
Assmass alone does not a NT make.
Depending on how you look at it.
The one last week was a gimme. The others were a tipped pass that would have required a serious turn-around (although he should have been anticipating it), and a bullet that he had to dive for in the red-zone.
I’d have been happy with one. A good safety makes two.
I don't think
the one against Washington was a bullet or required any kind of ridiculous play. Should have had it.

I missed a lot of the game
but I saw the beginning of the 3rd quarter where Arian Foster looked incredible. That one swing pass where he made two guys miss made me happy that he is on our team. And that short TD run. It was only 76 yards right?
this is a great time to mention how
spectacularly retarded the 40 yard dash is. You can’t tell how fast a man is until he’s being chased.
That's not entirely true
You can tell how fast they are when they’re chasing somebody too….
I was always a pretty fast kid compared to the others in my class and my brother was a giant 280+ pound high school offensive lineman… well we got into a fight one day as is normal with brothers and seeing as how he was almost a full person bigger than me at the time I picked up a walking stick and cracked him in the head as hard as I possibly could… I still have nightmares of him grinning and asking “did you just hit me?”…. Needless to say I ran like my life depended on it, and it quite possibly did, and that fat S.O.B. nearly ran me down but ran out of wind quicker than I did so I managed to live long enough for calvalry to arrive….

but at least they got the win and showed that they weren’t gonna let the loss from last weekend hold them down.
Agree, I was somewhat disappointed that we pulled ahead by 2 + scores
in the second half but couldn’t put the game away against a very average Raiders team. We continue to be road warriors and that is hard to do in the NFL.

"My idea of an agreeable person is a person who agrees with me." -- Benjamin Disraeli
Man
It sure is nice seeing a Texans free safety occasionally make some plays. Folks can say all of Nolans INTs in preseason and today were from tipped passes, but all I know is that guy just makes plays.
Was anyone else annoyed with Gus Johnsons verbal love affair with Gradkowski throughout the game. I am pretty sure at one point they said “another great thing about him is he just flat out loves his job” . No shit he plays football for money full time, and gets raped by Bernard Pollard part time.
"How bout that ride in. I guess that's why they call it sin city."
He was in the area and made plays....
unlike Eugene Wilson. I’ll take him over Eugene 8 days a week. Tipped passes or not. He’s a playmaker.
"Lord, beer me strength."
True that.
Again, I have a hunch that he’s not going to make much of a difference as far as yardage or getting off the field on third-down goes. But the guy made plays in college, and he did it today as well. Some guys just have a tendency to not shit the bed when the opportunity presents itself. Kudos to Nolan. A guy who can’t cover but snags 5 INTs on the season is certainly better than a guy who can’t cover and drops balls week after week.
Which makes me wonder; why did we cut Reeves again?
So let's see
He can’t cover, but he makes interceptions when they present themselves, and makes tackles when sometimes?
That’s a double upgrade over Wilson…
http://www.crawfishboxes.com
They were from tipped passes, but Nolan still went and got them
That second pick was a one-handed catch. Wilson would’ve tipped the ball into a Raiders jersey.
That second pick was a thing of beauty....
especially since that was a double tip. The Raiders receiver and then a Texans player (didn’t see who), soooooo Nolan in the tip drill FTMFW!
Just my $.02
Even duct tape can't fix stupid
Of course, it was on 4th down
So a pick was no better than an incompletion. But still, nice pick.
I will admit to being fuzzy on game clock rules here....
but doesn’t a pick get the clock rolling faster than an incomplete? I know it keeps the clock rolling while the defender runs the ball back, so there was a few precious seconds taken care of.
Just my $.02
Even duct tape can't fix stupid
Yes, you get to run off those few seconds
at the possible expense of field position and the chance of a fumble on the run back. Still, that ball was tipped towards an Oakland player so I’m glad Nolan got to it, but I would rather him have simply batted it down under the circumstances.
Meh....
I like the INT. And Nolan did the smart thing and slid down when he saw a mass of silver and black jerseys coming his way….or was told too, either way he didn’t risk the fumble and didn’t run backwards trying to make something happen when he didn’t need too. He had already made the important thing happen….an INT.
Just my $.02
Even duct tape can't fix stupid
DeMeco
That’s who batted up the ball w/ 2 hands (would’ve been called for ‘lifting’ in volleyball).
If the Treasury Secretary doesn't have to pay taxes, then why do I?
Yes and Louis Murphy must be related to Jacoby Jones
The pass was perfect and he managed to fuck it up. Jacoby had a chance to make a statement today, and he made two of them: he can’t stay on his feet and he can’t make the catch over the middle. Thankfully Smithiak recognized KW for what he is and paid the man.

his inability to stay standing up was more due to the shitastic state that the coliseum’s field is in. I saw so many people falling over due to the field.

I do concur.
I, like most, believe Jacoby can be a great receiver. He deff brings a good aspect. he does need to work on his catching, but i think he will be a good replacement when Andre Johnson Retires rises through the heavens to be Jesus’s Wideout.

Also fair
I think part of the Jacoby hype (which I freely admit I contributed to) was that he would stretch the field more than Walter would. Between how poor the play-action looked without Andre and the need for the Texans to protect more, the reasons to use Jacoby have vanished.
I mean, if it’s 3rd & 6 and we need someone to run a quick slant over the middle, I’m taking David Anderson over him. He’s in there to grab you large chunks of yardage at a time, not move the chains.
- Rivers McCown, From Mom's Basement | Twitter | SB Nation Houston | Battle Red Blog
Except on 3rd and 6...
Derrick Ward is our guy.
/still don’t get that play call
"Lord, beer me strength."
Derrick Ward was a joy to watch
I loved it b/c he looked like he really wanted to prove himself to us as a viable running back. He was doing all the right moves.
He definitely was impressive
I just didn’t think it was the best playcall on 3rd and 6. Too conservative…which reeks of “playing not to lose.”
"Lord, beer me strength."
If you want to understand it
Look to your signature for solace, I think that’s the only way to go about it.
- Rivers McCown, From Mom's Basement | Twitter | SB Nation Houston | Battle Red Blog
hmmm possible
one of the announcers claimed it was poor form for Jacoby and made it sound like he has to keep his weight under his shoulders instead of behind him? something like that.
my own additions:
ballet is good for balance. dance is also good for learning where to carry your weight. I bet you anything Andre Johnson’s training has some ballet like balance and stuff in it. Andre’s training is also why he’s normally very resistant to injury.
There have been a lot of good WRs
who use ballet for training. It’d be nice to see Jacoby do that, because it can be helpful, as you point out.
"Lord, beer me strength."
/confused?
OTD — I assume you hit reply on the wrong comment???
Because I have no clue as to how this became a Jacoby discussion from my answering which Texan tipped the ball on Nolan’s interception.
If the Treasury Secretary doesn't have to pay taxes, then why do I?
The ball was thrown to Murphy
"Progress isn't made by early risers. It's made by lazy men trying to find easier ways to do something." -Robert Heinlein
http://www.accessorizeyourvehicle.com/
I stay confused, and don't consistently convey my random thoughts
in a cohesive written form………but I try.
And for the record I think Jacoby deserves to be bashed for his performance today, but in no way did I mean to suggest that he will never be a contributor. He has more physical talent than almost everyone else on the team, he just needs to learn to FOCUS. Mental toughness is what defines superstars in the NFL. Thousands have the physical tools; the few that also have the smarts are the ones who go to Canton. He has all-pro skills, and just needs to learn how to better utilize them.

Another stat nobody's paying attention to at the moment...
Turnovers committed by the Texans today: 0
Sacks allowed: 0
But 13 incompletions.
When the running game is churning out 7 YPC, that’s fine. He managed the game well and made a couple of nice throws in the end-zone. But overall, I didn’t think he looked very crisp today. Obviously not having Andre factored into that. But let’s hope he’s got another Washington 2nd-half performance or two in him in case the running game stalls later on this season.

Remember though that they were limited to 2 WRs for the entire second half

I guess I will be the piss in the cereal
but I really dont get all the Troy Nolan nut swinging. Don’t get me wrong, he didn’t play bad and I’m all for letting him continue to play and see what he can do. What I don’t get is why alot of you are acting like his two interceptions were something amazing. He was in the right place at the right time to get two tipped balls that hit him in the chest. Its not like he made some great play in coverage, he was just the benefactor of good fate. Hell the only reason he got that game ending one was because the Raiders WR was so horrible and couldn’t catch a pass that hit him in the chest. Any decent WR there and we would be screaming about how horrible our secondary played yet again as that pass was beyond the yellow line on a 3rd and forever play. Lets let the kid play more but put away the nut swings for a bit.

That's either semantics

If you are saying that only interceptions that come 100% through your own effort are “playmaking,” then that is stupid, especially given that Nolan is a FS in a cover-2.

The first pick was a tip by a CB
The second was a drop followed by a Ryans tip
Just to be ornery....
I gotta ask, define “drop”. The ball hit the Raider receiver in the shoulder and bounced up and out from there. As it was coming down, a Texans defender (Ryans I guess, I didn’t see who) swatted it back up trying to field it, then Nolan got a handle on it.
Just my $.02

I’m happy he was there to catch the tipped balls, something Wilson failed for us last game, but Im not ready to suck his dick for his play either.

A closer look at Gradkowski's success
The CBs and Nolan did their job today. Miller and McFadden were responsible for most of the passing yards today. Bonecrusher was not very impressive when picking up Miller downfield after the LBs released. And don’t get me started on the LBs horrilbe coverage skills on another athletic TE. Not only that, but it seemed to me for every 5 yard catch Miller had, he was able to push forward for another 5 to 6 yards after initial contact. Get the motherf*cker down, but they didn’t.
Oakland’s success moving the ball through the air wasn’t on the D-Line or Secondary today. It was on the LBs.
"There's two kinds of coaches, them that's fired and them that's gonna be fired." ~ Bum Phillips
Not sure what the greatest weakness is, but this ranks right up there
It is like they don’t expect the TE to come out. Third and Five and the LBs move out to ten yards beyond the line of scrimmage after the snap and Miller sneaks in and catches it five yards past the LOS and then rumbles for another 3 or 5 for good measure before he is hit. Maddening! Why are the LBs playing zone, too? They need to play the man when he comes out of the backfield or from the TE position when it’s five yards to a first down…. When will they learn?

will improve but I don’t think his presence will make the pass defense all that better.

there will be an improvement, but I’m with xmant, don’t think he will help the pass defense.

That's the glass half-full version
The glass half-empty version is that Oaklands wide receivers either suck or were playing hurt (Murphy). Diles, as usual, was stuck playing zones on Miller because of the secondary’s badness. I haven’t seen him flub a man assignment yet this year, and you know how eager we all are to make fun of his cost-effectiveness.

Ortons quote
You always hear about how tough they are and all of that stuff. I don’t think they are tough. I think they are cheap and it was one of the cheapest games that I’ve ever seen out of some of those players. I thought the refs did a great job of keeping it under control, but when we’ve got Chris Kuper with his helmet off, getting punched and all of that stuff, it’s ridiculous. If that is the type of player that Cortland Finnegan wants to be, well then he is a cheap player—he is not a good player.

Foster is legit. I’m glad he’s on our team. Excellent pickup Smithiak. Even better production to cost ratio than the famous Zac Diles.
We miss Andre. Captain obvious, I know. I saw 1/3 of the game, heard 1/3 of the game on the radio, but I saw one drive stopped by JJ dropping a perfectly thrown pass. Do we blow them out with a few clutch AJ catches? I think we win comfortably.
Cushing better not blow a hammie. I think he’ll be fired up, and the defense will definitely improve. I hope him + Nolan = not the worst pass defense in the NFL.
I love it when we win and the tits lose. One more week atop the division. Soak it in.

All Arian's saying about missing time
"I didn’t handle my business off the field, I got disciplined for it, and rightfully so," Foster said. "I take full responsibility and I apologized to my teammates for it, and it won’t happen again. And we’re all about moving on here. I slipped up, and I’m assuring it won’t happen again."
"Lord, beer me strength."
Maybe he missed the team meeting...
where they promised to give him the ball more. No sense in being lied to b your superiors. Kudos to him for skipping out.

I do remember last year some kind Colts fans dropped by in the 2009 season to remind us that there was once a time somewhen in history when the Colts didn’t win every game. They were trying to give us, Texans fans, hope for our team =). I always thought that was kind of the Colts fans =).
I’m pretty sure the recent humiliations will remind the Colts exactly who they are and they’ll be back to form much sooner than later. I seriously think the Colts will be VERY hard to beat when we match up with them again later this season.

Zach Miller had 11 receptions...
Is it just me or did at least eight of those come on that little five-yard out route that we refuse to cover?

I disagree
he isn’t the only two time DROY for nothing.
His presence makes us better defensively on every snap over Adibi. Otherwise, Adibi would be the starter.
I hope we come up to average against the pass with his return.

So, Pollard is 4th in the NFL in tackles.
Is this because of being an absolute monster, or because he misses his coverage regularly and cleans up the mess?

As good as he is against the run, he’s equally poor against the pass. Still, I love the dude and am happy to have him.

Good, that's right Osi...
Big win….a lot of relief….most important game of the young season…..

Is anyone thinking that the Texans can take advantage of the Giants defensive push?
Some screens, draws, quick outs to a hopefully recovered AJ, dinks to TEs. The Texans could nickel and dime them….

Yeah, I was kinda thinking that, too
The Texans have the TEs, RBs, WRs and the QB that could carry it off. It would be a good way of counteracting that awesome pass rush we saw last night by the Giants against the Mike Martz offense which doesn’t believe the short stuff. I’m not saying the Texans O-line couldn’t do better at giving Schaub time to make a down-field throw, but seems the Texan’s personnel is well made to carry out the short stuff plan.
I dub the Cowboys.....Jesus-pony poop, 6 months after it's expiration date
I just haven't seen much of it from us this year
last year we would do great on dump offs to slaton or screens, but I’m not seeing as much of it. Remember when we played cinci and the first play throw that screen to AJ? Told them to back the fuck off.

The script
the first 15 plays are screens to Slaton.
Then on the first play of each successive quarter, hand the ball to Foster.

Things that shocked me:
- DeMeco Ryans did something besides tackle someone five yards beyond the line of scrimmage or blow ass in coverage (a sack).
- How the fans continue to seem to “get it” about a player before the coaches. Why has it taken so long for Nolan to get on the field?
Because it isn't our jobs on the line

Your examination of my second point COMPLETELY missed everything I meant by that.
I think Rick Smith is a top 3 general manager in the league. This has nothing to do with my question as to why Troy Nolan hasn’t gotten on the field sooner.
Wilson the last couple years was a good player
this year he seems to have just fallen off a cliff, and I can understand the coaches not giving up on him after one or two games.

How the fans continue to seem to "get it" about a player before the coaches. Why has it taken so long for Nolan to get on the field?
The “fans” have had a million different opinions, including drafting players other than the ones I mentioned in my reply, which they got right. So how is it that the coaches seem to “get it” before the fans? Thats all I’m saying.

Who's being punished?
To sit out Foster for the first quarter and a half was a mistake. Kubiak is lucky that Ward and Slaton showed up today. Aren’t there other ways to discipline a player than benching him? Also, what was the punishment supposed to be, a quarter or a half? Foster gets thrown in there midway through the second quarter, ironically, right after Oakland ties it up 14-14. I wonder if Kubes would treat Schaub or Johnson that way…
Swat and swim, dip and rip, twist and spin; just do whacha gotta do to light up that QB.
well maybe Schaub and Andre manage to make the team meetings and get there on time
Discipline is discipline.
As someone above pointed out, The Chronicle reports here that Arian Foster was benced for missing one team meeting and being late to another. Apparently Arian Foster wasn’t paying attention last year when Jacoby was either late to or missed a team meeting and was told not to bother getting on the plane.
I thought it was wonderful that Derrick Ward and Steve Slaton REALLY Wanted to do their best —and they did tremendous work!
It’s awesome that we have an offensive line that allows those three running back to produce.
Bob Allen on Channel 13 said that all 3 of the running backs point to Vonta Leach as the man who makes their progress happen.
I hope he would

some things I noticed
1) I loved how early in one of the first drives Steve Slaton looked like he had this magnetic hand and just pulled the ball toward his hand. Then later I loved how he was able to find an opening and go for it.
2) then unfortunately, by the late 3rd quarter, Slaton was back to running into the piles /sigh
I want to see Slaton play more like he did there in the fist quarter =).
and then really random stuff I noticed:
1) the announcer ALMOST sounded like he said “Darth Pollard” but he didn’t .. he just did something weird to the name Bernard
