Battle Red Radio: The Funeral (9 PM CT)

So I don't know if anyone noticed, but even despite losing a close game to the Raiders on Sunday, the Texans are a) in first place and b) actually still have games left on the schedule! Funny how that works out.
Join myself, MDC, and for the first time, UprootedTexan. We will take you on a fantastic voyage of sliding, sliding, and slippity sliding. Including tangents on the game, on Mario Williams, and about our upcoming matchup against the Baltimore Ravens football club.
If you'd like to get a question answered, there are two ways:
Option A: You could call in to the show! Our phone number is 661-244-9808. I'm not going to try to create a call-in segment anymore. I'll just work with the calls we have. The lines will open after the show starts, and as I see a caller, I'll take them in and let them lob their questions at us. Keep in mind that a) this is not a toll-free call for you and b) it may take 10-15 minutes to get to your call depending on call volume and a fairly cheap studio setup here.
Option B: Leave us a question in the comments. We'll try to hit on it in a special segment near the end of the show.
Here's a direct link to the show if the embed link below does not let you listen live. While you wait, you can catch up on last week's show, where "John McClain" verbally abused me and ruined my life. Oh, and TexansDC was around for the first time!

Owen Daniels's TD streak came to an end this week.
What are the chances he gets another going in Baltimore?

my question is this...
WHY HAVE WE NOT TRADED FOR AN ALL PRO QUARTER BACK!!1111!!!?? WE SHOULD HAVE TRADED MARIO BEFORE HE GOT HURT WE NEED AN ALL PRO NUMBER 2 WIDE RECIVER
1 anddddd discuss.
PUT IT ALL BEHIND US!! LEARN, AND MOVE ON! LETS GET AT BALTIMORE NEXT WEEK AND COME OUT WITH A WIN!
Is it just me
Or are we getting out-coached at halftime?
No points 2nd half vs. Indy
Outscored in the second half by Miami
Crazily outscored in the second half by NO
Outscored in the second half by Pittsburgh
Outscored in the second half by Oakland*
*you know, I buy the fact that, had Vickers not been WAY too excited about his first meaningful opportunity to contribute or had Jakespeare not been a huge bag of ass, this game could have been different. But this team has the offense to make this game a laugher. O-Line not getting the protection you want? Have teh Schaub move around- we’ve already seen that once this year against an D-Line that is better than Oakland’s. Just one example.
It seems like the other team makes adjustments at the half and we make none.
Tell me if I’m off-base here. I’ll be listening.
did you just skip my question???

Allegedly a few WR’s were angry about the offense and let the coaches know about it.

Yeah 6-9 250
44 inch vertical. He’s thrown out some innuendo and the NBA has already lost 2 weeks of the regular season with no end in sight.
He’d stay in the spotlight if he stayed in America and played then if he went overseas.
But all that is pure speculation and I doubt he’d play for the Texans even if he did join the league.
Prediction: 11-5 AFC South champions.
Nah he'd go somewhere where he could piggy back to a championship.
not 1, not 2, not 3, not 4, not 5 ,not 6, not 7...

I doubt that.
He jut takes Mario’s roster spot since he’s on IR.
Lets not forget Mason is 37 years old. He gives us some pretty good route running and a veteran who’s been there done that but I’m not jumping for joy just yet.
He just brings some consistency to the WR corp I think and some veteran leadership overall.

That's okay
The offense is a methodical one. We need to win 1st and 2nd down by getting yards. The big plays come from misdirection but the Texans don’t take many.
Besides Jacoby is still here. They just need somebody who can slide into the slot and make the quick short catches.

I see you all picked up the Mason news long ago
when you gave 11 targets to a guy that was only able to pull in one of them, I don’t think you can be upset about getting a guy who can catch to football, even if he is too old to go deep.

Personally, this might be the first time that the FO is admitting that Jacoby is not getting it done (most of us already figured that out)
Or that Bryant Johnson sucks ass.
Jacoby may, rightfully be bumped down…..but methinks Johnson is the likely cuttee

Jacoby will probably start again if Andre doesn't pull off a miracle and plays this week.
I think it best if we temper the expectations now.

He probably will.......
But I’m feel a bit better with Mason possibly being the slot receiver since David Anderson is ours…

He's among the short list for my Texans 1st rounders right now
His returner abilities helps a lot.
"Lord, beer me strength."
Not big on 1st round WR's picks unless they are monsters like Andre or Calvin.
Value for that position has dropped like RB. You can find pretty good or pro bowl WR’s in the 2nd or 3rd round.
Prediction: 11-5 AFC South champions.
if you guys manage a season like your sig predicts though
a guy with a ceiling of “faster Wes Welker” is totally in play.

True.
There were rumors they may have drafted Julio Jones if had fallen to them. They were definitely contemplating it.
I could see them picking up a WR in the 1st round depending on what happens with Mario and other unforeseen offseason things.
Prediction: 11-5 AFC South champions.
with a guy like Andre Johnson on the roster
you can draft a guy mid-late 1st who isn’t a true number 1 but will be obscene working as the #2 against a D that can’t cheat up.

There are only 2 WR who are sure fire 1st rounders and that's Justin Blackmon and Alshon Jeffrey
But then again, Michael Floyd, Jeff Fuller, Ryan Broyles are also potential first rounders. If this draft wasn’t so deep with WR, they would be sure fire 1st rounders.

Damn Texans not holding back looking for a WR.
Kubiak was be really feeling the heat right now.
Prediction: 11-5 AFC South champions.
Seriously, if they do not invest in a WR in either of the first 2 rounds of the draft next year, I'm going apeshit.
It’s freaking obvious that we do not have a real #2. Walter is a decent #3.
I think Walter is a decent #2
He’s not as explosive as a Jacoby but he’s pretty solid. He’s much better than many #2 in the league.
Prediction: 11-5 AFC South champions.

Wow! Mason is the Ravens all time leading receiver
He was there only 6 years.
According to this http://houston.sbnation.com/houston-texans/2011/10/11/2484773/baltimore-ravens-trade-derrick-mason-houston-texans
Let's all panic, slit our wrists , fire the coach, fire the quarterback BECAUSE OMG WE LOST A GAME!!!!!!1111!!!!111!!!!
QB and WR are not two spots that have had a glamorous history in Baltimore.
Well if you’re talking about the Ravens. Colts of course are a different story.
Prediction: 11-5 AFC South champions.
Since I said Ravens, I guess that is who I meant
:)

good things happen when you actually catch the football
Choke/Clutch is the fetishization of the small sample size.

Believe me he's not the same receiver
The dropoff in his play has been ridiculous. If you didn’t give us a 7th round conditional we would have probably just cut him.

probably because the Ravens(Browns)
had to leave the Browns records etc. in Cleveland when they left, so their history is basically that of an expansion team.
I wish we could hire coaches without "having grown up in Houston" being a job requirement.

They played a snippet of him on Sound FX (NFL Network)
He was crying about “getting murdered” or something and then whining about the fumble. It was fun to watch.

A Jets fan gets to breathe easy right now.
Canal Street Chronicles-A place of great Saints news and information. Oh and the stuff I write!
Bring back Aaron Brooks! He's the only one who can save us from the evil that is Drew Brees!!
Cheaper than I expected.
Jets must have been really trying to move him.
Prediction: 11-5 AFC South champions.
Actually it was probably both
He was playing like complete crap and our rookie Kerley looked far better than him in the last game. Mason wasn’t getting open, making plays and being a distraction we were thrilled to get rid of him.

The Football Gods

Mason
