PrintIt doesn't hold the glamour of the "real" Week One, but who cares? It's football. Featuring your beloved Houston Texans. Even if the starters only play a series or two, it's immeasurably better than the miserable abyss that has consumed our souls since January 3, 2010.
Most of you know the drill around here when it comes to these live game threads; for those that don't, this post from a year ago should prove informative. Remember: You can join the commenting fray via your mobile device, just as though you were in front of your laptop or desktop, so don't let "I'm Away From My Computer" stop you from sharing your shrieks of joy or mournful bellows of lamentation. All the more reason to come to Cheerz Bar & Grill (2416 Bagby, Houston, TX 77002) in four (4) hours!
It's football time in Houston again, people. Finally.

FINALLY!
Soon we go from speculation to pure analysis. I can’t wait til 7….hopefully it’ll be injury free and the first team will get a TD.

Depends on the injury
I’ll welcome a couple mild injuries that causes Studdard & Ragdoll to lose their starting jobs

Some pre-game articles
I'd like to add something
Reading up on the Cards, they have been utilizing a Safety blitz in practices. I would like to see the Texans be able to pick that up and exploit it. Not easy to do in preseason…as they probably need to get burned by it to address it. Let’s see, though.
I suppose if all of the stars, moons and planets align it could be possible, but what are the chances of that?
I am so freaking STOKED!
Yay!!
I’m hoping Slaton rips off a huge run and takes it to the house!

Everything I have seen and heard
The RB position should not be a weakness this season. Quality and depth. I’m not even afraid of injuries at this moment…knock on wood. Yes, for Slaton, this is a big moment for him. He has to prove he is healthy, can hold onto the ball and his quickness has returned.
I suppose if all of the stars, moons and planets align it could be possible, but what are the chances of that?
Only one way for the run game to go this year
It HAS to be better this year.
I have a bias toward Slaton. Got to see him at WVU. I would love for him to have a huge year again this year.

Leinart has the 1st quarter to prove that he belongs as the starter, according to what I have read
Here’s hoping that the Texans’ D-Line has him on his bicycle or on his ass….
Derek Anderson is getting the 2nd quarter with the first team to out-perform Leinart.
I suppose if all of the stars, moons and planets align it could be possible, but what are the chances of that?
It's been far too long
This time our season is going into February
Gonna buy a Jersey
Who should it be. I have my eye on a Andre Johnson pro bowl one but still looking
living the Texas dream
The best thing about football jerseys is that they kind of reflect your personality
I prefer defensive jerseys, but that’s just me. I need to pick up an Andre jersey though, that’s a must.
Plus for getting an AJ
It will be good until 2016!
I have a few. A white Ryans, battle red Cushing, blue AJ.

Notable Note: Dan Williams, Rookie DT from Tennessee...
plays for the Cardinals. When Revenge of the Birds announced his signing, they had a total of 9 comments in the announcement thread. I suspect if he had signed with the Texans, the excitement would have been a little louder…..
Tonight, we’ll get to see what we are missing there. I’m thinking that Earl Mitchell, 3rd-rounder may have a more notable game than Dan Williams and we won’t be missing Williams too hard. Earl has a motor that won’t quit, you know.
I suppose if all of the stars, moons and planets align it could be possible, but what are the chances of that?
Like i said before
I thought he was a one year wonder who saw his stock rise and got drafted in the first. Lets hope im right
living the Texas dream
Pretty sure he had at least two good years
Have you ever tried just turning off the TV, sitting down with your children, and hitting them?
OK on the CB > Dan Williams need in the 1st round
But it was passing on Cam Thomas in the later rounds that bothered me.
If the Treasury Secretary doesn't have to pay taxes, then why do I?
Did you have to reference the abysmal Clay Walker song, Tim?
I actually like Clay Walker’s music and met him at a wedding. Really nice guy. But that song was a travesty, especially compared to the Oilers Fight Song.

a long time comin… but i made it. so if you plan on attending any games this season, tweet me or txt me your seat number and i’ll come hang out midway thru the 3rd. my pass allows me access to the entire stadium, so all i need to know is if there are empty seats near you. i’m excited about my new position, it’s a dream come true! we will be out there next weekend for the cowboys game so each week i’ll post what lot i’ll be in (probably be orange since that’s my home away from home) and we can just go from there. GO TEXANS! and i’m gonna write on my shoes —> bob pays ME. haha!

Scratches, per Scurfield
GLENDALE, Ariz. – The following players will not dress for tonight’s game at University of Phoenix Stadium:
Texans
18 WR London Crawford
25 CB Kareem Jackson
52 LB Xavier Adibi
53 LB Danny Clark
65 G Mike Brisiel
93 DE Tim Bulman
Brice McCain will start at right cornerback for Jackson, who is away from the team to attend his grandmother’s funeral.
Kinda surprised to see Brisiel on that list. Although I’m sure he’s dealing with a lot of pain.
- Rivers McCown, From Mom's Basement | Twitter | SB Nation Houston | Battle Red Blog
He's at his grandmother's funeral.
So I guess this means that Bentley gets the nod at SLB for this game, with Sharpton as the backup?
Also, I hope that Brisiel was scratched because of lingering issues from last season’s injury rather than a new injury that he picked up in camp.
by Tailgate Andy on Aug 14, 2010 6:08 PM CDT up reply actions
It's been reported that he's not fully healed yet
And by he, I mean Brisiel. He’s practicing through pain. Which instantly makes him grittier than Studdard.

All right - finally a football game!
I’m heading up to the bar to hang with all you BRBers that are going to be there.
Kris Brown on why he missed kicks
I put too much pressure on myself. I felt like it was my responsibility to help this time in the clutch moments.
No shit, Sherlock! It IS your job to make those kicks.
"Lord, beer me strength."
does anyone know of a decent stream?
i mean jesus christ, you would think 10 minutes before kickoff someone would have a stream torrent loaded or something…
Some people say "If you can't beat them, join them". I say "If you can't beat them, beat them", because they will be expecting you to join them, so you will have the element of surprise.

GOD BLESS FOOTBALL!!!
It’s GAME TIME!!! YEEEEEEEEEEEEES!
Okay, now that the formalities are out of the way…so far, I like the offense so far. They are clicking and moving the ball. The bounce by Johnson is a faux call, so it’s a moot point now.
If Trindon can keep the same relative field position every kickoff, then he’s a shoe-in in my opinion.
Arian Foster looks as good as I’ve heard everyone say he has in training camp.
KWalt looks like KWalt. Taking licks and holding the ball.
Jakespeare looks timid…in a reverse, which is dumb…
haha end around? i thought it was a reverse!
"Do you ever feel more like you do now then when you got there?"
Okay, maybe we should throw that reverse play in the burn pile with the HB Pass
I would challenge you to a battle of wits, but you appear to be unarmed.
Allright...Duane...
Get it together big guy. Penalties kill us. Don’t help the cause….
Question
If JJ knew that the reverse play was a bust and would get tackled for a loss, could he just throw it out of bounds? Or would he not be allowed to throw the ball?
by goingforthecorner on Aug 14, 2010 7:18 PM CDT reply actions
He can I do believe...
As long as he doesn’t cross the LOS.
Well, it'd still be...
Intentional Grounding…and that penalty sucks….better to lose a couple of yards than 10…

Damn, Slaton fumbles at the goal line
Where have I seen this before

Another goal line stand by AZ?, thats twice in a f'in row!
Foster just won the startin job.
"Do you ever feel more like you do now then when you got there?"
Brutal end.....
It was a 14 play, 83 yard drive that spanned over 8 minutes. Brutal end to the drive.

Arian Foster, let that be a lesson to you.
Fumbling the football is embarassing.
I'll fly off the handle if I damn well please, I'm a Texans Fan!
Okay, maybe we should give Tate, Henry, & Jerimiah Johnson some reps
Slaton should be yanked in all goal line situations
I would challenge you to a battle of wits, but you appear to be unarmed.
Yeah, hope he was in there solely b/c of it being pre-season.
I'll fly off the handle if I damn well please, I'm a Texans Fan!
Yes it is.
If he got stuffed, or tackled for a loss it wouldn’t be his fault, but his job is to protect the football. He failed.
I'll fly off the handle if I damn well please, I'm a Texans Fan!
enough
I hope it’s safe to say Slaton won’t get any meaningful carries this season. I hope Cushing takes a chainsaw to Slaton’s Hummer like Lawrence Taylor did in Any Given Sunday.
Rumplestiltskin
Wow
Come on Steve, really? All that talk about protecting the football. All the doubters and the first time you et the ball on the goal line you drop it??? Come on Ben Tate!
Someone please put Steve Slaton on waivers
The guy is ruined..

God save us.
I don’t want to see any more Slaton Porcupine…..I mean, I mean Kubiak. We have 4 other hungry talented backs ready to contribute.

Hope we get to see Jerimiah Johnson's Stiff Arm tonight

Hmm...
Once we get OD back to health, how sick is the TE corps and how much do we NOT need Dreesen then?
Depends on what we get to see from Garrett Graham

Not sure, think it is Wade Smith
but Studdard got his ass beat on that play.

Damn Studdard
ruined Ben’s first carry! Kerns is somewhere and he’s not happy about that.

And you know it's preseason...
When BFD doesn’t have a running tally of how many he’s knocked back…just sayin’.
not too many penalties either so far.

Running FG Tally...
Brown – 1 FG, 1 PAT
Rackers – 1 FG
AZ booing Rackers. Then he bitch slaps them with that FG

Don't give up on Slaton...
First game back after major neck surgery…sometimes you have to take the bad with the good.
He is way too talented not to be on the team. He is better in space though and should be a third down back…not a run it up the gut back….but a take it to the edge…and screen passes…man is he lethal on those!
I agree with that
And if all else fails, he still has some trade value

Slaton = 3rd down RB. No = goalline RB
I'll fly off the handle if I damn well please, I'm a Texans Fan!
Yeah...I noticed him...
Noticing EVERYONE on the Cards offense.
somewhere al sharpton is watching the HOUSTON TEXANS PLAY FOOTBALL.
let’s all just take a moment to think about that.

At Halftime with a shutout
Can’t ask for much better from the defense

Good first half.
I’m sooo excited for some futbol!
"Do you ever feel more like you do now then when you got there?"
you know, i don't think schaubby was even touched when he was in.
i’ll have to go back and watch, but i don’t think so. o-line did a good job of protecting him.
"And Richie... you're still blocked on twitter." - David Anderson
http://www.twitter.com/doobieman21
Nah
Both he and Dan-O have had plenty of time to throw. The pass blocking is great.
"Lord, beer me strength."
and when slow-ass Dan has time to throw....
then you know the protection is there.
"Lord, beer me strength."
First D and O both looked very solid
but Dan O is not going to cut it this way slow reads and off throws
You can't fix Dumb or being a VYFB
yeah, he doesn't really look like he's in sync....
maybe coach koob can light a fire under his ass during halftime.

If he litterally lit a fire under him I would be happy!

I totally forgot to watch the game!
so Nolan got a pick? Did he look good otherwise?
Have you ever tried just turning off the TV, sitting down with your children, and hitting them?
Question:
Who got the second pick? I was busy doing laundry.
