Unsung Hero: Jacoby Jones Plays His Part, Sets Up Two Touchdowns

All-Pro running back Arian Foster? The chatter for handing him a new contract has increased after another 100-yard performance.
Pro Bowl quarterback Matt Schaub? He had another solid outing and got the chuckles going early with his touchdown run.
Former Defensive Rookie of the Year Brian Cushing? The Brain Crusher is back into vintage form and making an impact.
Steady veteran wide receiver Kevin Walter? He's making certain people look awfully smart after he continued to step up in the absence of Andre Johnson.
Who, pray tell, is your unsung hero from yesterday's 24-14 Houston Texans victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars? Who is the fifth unsung hero in the team's fifth victory?
The maddening Twitter laureate showed up when necessary - despite his modest stat line of three catches for 59 yards and five punt returns for 56 yards.
Those three catches? All moved the chains for a fresh set of downs - including one on the opening drive to convert a 3rd down. That drive eventually turned into the touchdown run by Schaub.
The punt returns? Jones' big 33-yard return early in the third quarter set up Houston in Jacksonville territory. With a short field, the Texans would move down and score another touchdown - this time Schaub to tight end Joel Dreessen.
Jacoby Jones can drop easy passes and can dance around too much as a returner, but yesterday Jones made plays when needed and those plays helped set up two Texans touchdowns. To do all that to little fanfare? Well, that is what makes Jacoby Jones an unsung hero.

I never thought I’d see the day. But a well deserved Unsung Hero award.
Definitely a hero
and an unsung one at that

It feels nice to be a Texan fan right now. All those things (like this comment) that come out when you lose are happening to the other teams.
And I’m loving the Colts meltdown a lot more than I thought I would. I wish it upon the BE-SFs more, but its truly a thing of beauty from a team/fanbase that has destroyed us for our whole existence.

really? their debacle makes me incredibly angry
…almost to the point that I can’t fully enjoy our run to the division title. Knowing that the Colts are tanking it on purpose (despite what their owner tweets) so they can get Luck, who may end up becoming the next P Manning, fills me with fury. Worse, no one nationally seems to care about this.
I'm terribly sorry that you can't fully enjoy our run.
Good luck with that, because I for one have absolutely NO problem enjoying it. And there’s no way the Colts organization is tanking the season to draft Luck. None.
I'm a man!! I'm forty!!
hmmm
well i just dont want ANOTHER string of like 8 years where we go 1-15 against the colts, guess i’m alone in feeling that way or at least in the minority
I'm with you.
I can totally see the colts doing that. Because, you know… they did it to get Manning. Doesn’t make our wins any less sweet, but it is starting to really piss me off that they can’t “any given sunday” a team or two so luck can go to Seattle where he belongs.
Bacon tastes good... Pork chops taste good.
Not wanting Luck in our division and believing the Colts are tanking their season are two different things
I don’t want him to wind up in the AFC South either, although I’m not as worried about such things after seeing the type of defense Wade is putting together here.
Assuming we take the next step as a winning organization and our current coaching staff remains intact, and assuming the Colts manage to end up the worst team in the league this year, and assuming they keep they’re #1 overall draft pick and select Luck instead of trading it away, then what better way to break a young QB’s spirit than to throw him out there against a top rated defense twice a year until he breaks?
I'm a man!! I'm forty!!
They aren't the only 0fer team out there...
so there’s still hope. Not sure how that would work…two 0-fer teams…but we’ll see. Maybe.
Believe they go with the weaker schedule based on end of year stats.

Still a lotta risk there. He may not get along with 5head either.
'Without change something sleeps inside us, and seldom awakens. The sleeper must awaken.' -Frank Herbert
It is pure arrogance that the Colts think they can get away with this.
I hate them. I hate their entire organization…
I didn't do anything wrong!.... and, I won't do it again.
Dude, there's no way the Colts are tanking
A lot of their players are closer to losing their jobs with each passing loss. Curtis Painter sure as hell ain’t keeping his job as backup QB if Luck gets drafted…
so much about football is...
…about coaching and the game plan each week…thus the any given sunday chiche…players can try their hardest, but if their game plan sucks, then it can easily make the diff btwn winningand losing…caldwell is not in danger of losing his job IMO and could easily be being told not to try very hard to win
I understand your point of view
But I respectfully disagree. Without Peyton, this season falls on the shoulders of Caldwell and Polian. Like you said, the coach plays a big hand in the game plan, and consequently the result. So why wouldn’t the coach hold the most responsibility for a win/loss as well? Thus, the result is his responsibility to take. At the very least, if he is kept for next season, he would have a tremendously hot seat. That seat is only made hotter with the constant clamoring from fans who want his head.
You need not look further than our own CHALLENGES-CHALLENGED CONSERVIAK to see how vehement fans are…
They all know it's coming
And there’s nothing we can do to stop it

That would have been my pick
The only people on the roster whose praises are sung less would be Sean Cody and KJax. Allen seemed to have a very good game and he rarely gets any credit.
He needs to be our starting #2. I’d rather not see KJax get any playing time until Allen needs a breather.
That was the first game...
That Allen genuinely separated himself from the competition in a positive way. Usually he plays poor-to-mediocre and looks better by comparison anyways, but he was awesome on Sunday. Granted, Gabbert stares down his receivers, but still… Kudos, Jason Allen. Seems to have a knack for knowing when he actually has safety help. Hurray for awareness!

And the Texans had the worst defense last year. So what?
I could of said the Texans were in games till the end all the time last year with our offense but I didn’t go that route. We sucked last year, no excuses. A good team is a complete team. In the end, a bottle that is half full is still half full and the could of/should of/would of means nothing when there is a L next to the score.
have fun...

Hey, here's an idea
Let’s trade away our starting QB right before the season opens…..AGAIN!!
Cuz it worked so well last time
I'm a man!! I'm forty!!
He had a back injury that the JAGS knew about and didn't tell us.. I don't think the JAGS doctors told Garrard he had herniated discs(2) either..
They pretty much did him durty durty.
JUST WIN BABY!!!!!!!!
If that's true
That’s some jacked up shit. Dump a dude when he’s broken and not even tell him??
Wow.
I'm a man!! I'm forty!!
Yep and his agent came out publicly and accused the JAGS of this.. Of course they denied it..
Personally I think they knew.. How Fucked up is that?
JUST WIN BABY!!!!!!!!
Think about it.. Some peole said that DG said he was alright and thats why he came back and played in the pre season game...
He hurt his back at practice from a hit. He was out of the following pre season game. Obviously if the doctors cleared him or he wouldn’t have played in the next game . Then they cut him after they already named him starter… Sounds like they knew to me but didn’t want to pay him 9 mil to be on IR..
JUST WIN BABY!!!!!!!!
Del Rio lets his defense hit his QB's in practice?? WTF
That’s a pretty dumb thing to do.
I'm a man!! I'm forty!!
DAMN IT
its SHOULD HAVE COULD HAVE WOULD HAVE…sorry that common misuse bothers me. I agree with the point you were trying to make though.
lots of rebuilding in AFC south
The pessimist says "half empty"
The optimist says "half full"
The NFL says "The Jags have the wrong size stadium in Tarpsville so we are moving that team to LA"
We handed your team two TD's.
Take away those and you got offed 24-0. Which is what the score SHOULD have been without some ridiculous luck. Yes, you got bitch slapped. And your team was NEVER in the game. No chance from the first snap.
man I wish
I could hear that on a good mic to drown out irrelevant noise.

That sure worked out this week.
Jacoby
has one fault, he is a pre-game celebrator, if He would save his dancing for actual plays I wouldn’t mind. But he has a knack for playing well with Andre out, and sucking when andre is in. He is in no way comparable to a serious #1 WR, but as a slot guy I dont mind him.

sucking when andre is in
might simply be because he goes from the 3rd or 4th option to 4th or 5th. How many targets would we expect him to get?
Watch me all in flames, on a butterfly I ride
1) andre
2) OD
3)Walters
4)JJ
how much should we expect from him?
Watch me all in flames, on a butterfly I ride
I was thinking the same thing.
…and maybe above Walter. They are most effective out of 2 tight sets.
thats why i said 4 or 5 above :)
basically, our TE are much higher on the list then for most teams, bumping our recievers down, but no one takes that into account when complaining that we aren’t getting enough production out of our “third” WR.
Watch me all in flames, on a butterfly I ride
You forgot about Foster...
He gets a load more tosses than Jacoby :D
yeah
but I don’t think he is very high up in terms of options, he is usually going to be the release valve, the welp, everyone else is covered or OH SHIT THEY ARE GOING TO EAT MY SPLEEN IF I DON’T GET RID OF THE BALL NOW
Watch me all in flames, on a butterfly I ride

'Without change something sleeps inside us, and seldom awakens. The sleeper must awaken.' -Frank Herbert
good point...
Not that I agree with him being “that option”. He breaks them out pretty often and if he were targeted more often intentionally I think that he would warrant more attention from the LB’s and secondary. That would at the very least leave our TE’s with a little more breathing room and with a pump fake towards Foster it might create a couple more inches of distance between the WR’s and DB’s should they bite even a tiny amount. Or leave them WIDE open should they bite completely. They might do this already, I don’t know…just a thought. The TV view sucks sometimes, I can only see the QB usually and the O-Line when we’re on offense, I have no idea what Schaub is seeing.
against teams with a Good CB and S
I think he should be targeted, against teams that cant even dbl cover Andre 0

Jones really was stellar, and did exactly what a second (or third) receiver is supposed to do in those situations: make plays that help the team win. Pretty simple, but it isn’t always that easy.
How many Biletnikoffs does he have? NOT TWO!
Was too far to huck a beer at a Stro’s player as per bone’s request. Jess (girlfriend) said I was too far, I said challenge accepted, a security guard said guess again.-BD34
For those who attended the game
Not sure if it’s ever been played at a home game before but I really liked that slowed down version of Kernkraft 400 – Zombie Nation…..
I was in a constant state of sensory overload
and poured about 8 of those 8 dollar beers on top of that….
IT WAS A GREAT DAY!!!
did I type that outloud? oops.
Haha even though the crowd shouldn't have done the wave when the offense was on the field
I still appreciated it because it’s been a while since I’ve seen the fan base that excited. Was nice to see at the very least. Should of done when the defense was on the field though LOL
yeah, I was lovin it
but it really should have stopped when the offence was on the field, it took a while even when Schaub and the O-line were asking for it to end.
did I type that outloud? oops.
Yup
But what annoyed me more was fans leaving before the game ended. I understand leaving if your team is being completely blown out but never leave when your team is about to win. Fighting traffic or not, a true fan stays till the end of a victory.
I agree completely
I would have stayed until the players went in, but left during post game interviews. it was a long drive back to SA and the traffic on 610 sucked.
did I type that outloud? oops.
Traffic on 610 always sucks.
Did you ever make that trip before they rebuilt 10?

Well at least you stayed when the clock hit 0:00
Some fans were leaving at 7:00 minutes left…..
yeah, they were interviewing Cushing when I began making my way to the exit
I have pics that show too many empty seats
did I type that outloud? oops.
Yes, that was the 1st time it has been played.
Alcohol is necessary so that a man can have a good opinion of himself, undisturbed by the facts.
If anyone catches that remix or finds out what song that was, post it.
My initial search just came back with the original.
Bacon tastes good... Pork chops taste good.
I loved Jacoby's big punt return...
After that punter flopped when he was breathed on. Sweet vindication, I was laughing my ass off. How’d that work out for ya Floppy?
That was a pretty lame penalty, and the acting belonged in the NBA.

Yeah I know...
I was pissed and I said “It would be sweet if Jacoby ran it back on them and pimp slapped that kicker on the way to the end-zone.” He didn’t, but he sure made him regret that flop. :D
I was pissed about the K-Dub pass
on the jumbotron it sure looked like he got his toe down
did I type that outloud? oops.
on tv it looked like it hit a bit of white, either way it was too close to be overturned.
Had it been called a completion and Jacksonville challenged, I think it’d stand as well.
I don't know...
They said definitively that his foot touched the white…looked like it to me too from the sideline angle…reallllly hard to tell but usually they say “the play stands because it’s inconclusive” or something to that effect. It’s kind of like that Jacoby catch in the Raiders game though…I don’t think they could CONCLUSIVELY say shit.
Maybe mentioned elsewhere but...
Why didn’t the Texans claim Leigh Bodden off waivers? Wouldn’t he be an upgrade at CB2?
Anyone notice how good Foster is on defense?
He had to chase down 3 different goons doing laterals and forced the final one out of bounds.
The pessimist says "half empty"
The optimist says "half full"
The NFL says "The Jags have the wrong size stadium in Tarpsville so we are moving that team to LA"
Final one was a forward pass, wasn't it?
Seemed like it at the time, at least. Could that have been challenged? Might have saved us four points if penalty yardage had moved them back a bit.
Yes.
It was. Not sure we can challenge it though.

speaking of that play, I think "Potroast" let Arian run by him. he could have blindsided him after he pitched the ball and really messed him up.
I guess it’s a good thing that he’s a fan.
what time did Blaine curse in the game???? HELP Please
All I want to do is FAAAARRRRRRRRRMMMMMMMMM!!!....and COok.
9:04 to go in the 3rd quarter

It was VERY clear....
on the live feed. My gf said “Whoa! Don’t think that should’ve made it through.” lulz I couldn’t tell who was talking shit though…..so it was Gabbert?
Just my $.02
Even duct tape can't fix stupid
Went to my first Battlered Day...
My friend and I had a sign that my 15 year old daughter made that said " We Love Schaub" I was able to get Steph Stradley to take a pic of us, but I don’t know how to post it. It’s pretty funny.
It was a blast
GO TEXANS!!!!
Our time is NOW!!!!
Hey maniac
we tied in the Survival League for AWESOMENESS!

The Unsung Villain of the game is our retard fans.
The wave that led to our false start demonstrated two things:
1: Our fans are incredibly lame.
2: Our fans are too stupid to shut up when we’re on offense.
The shame of it all is that this was by far our most lively crowd in some years. We actually made it to our seats before kick-off, dressed up, and wore the right colors.
Welcome to Houston, J.J. Watt, Brooks Reed, Brandon Harris, Rashad Carmichael, Shiloh Keo, T.J. Yates, Derek Newton, and Cheta Ozougwu!
my section was relatively quiet
I dont know about the people behind me, but the 14 rows in front of me only had 1 guy who was up and making noise on every defensive play… I couldnt believe the wave kept going for so long after Schaub and offense asked for it to end…lame
did I type that outloud? oops.
that wave was fucking awesome.
and it was even funnier because the offense got pissed about it. i mean COME ON. how many times have we had the chance to celebrate going 3-0 in the division? we’ve never been there before so how can we act like we have? lol.
"my momma was the Mike Vick of ass whuppin. side arm delivery, no wasted motion.. and very mobile." - @doobieman21
6-0 is very possible too...
Jacksonville in their house is the toughest game we have left…and that’ll be jam packed with about 15,000 jags fans and 2000 or so Texans fans. Should be as near to a home game away from home as we will have all year. BESF’s at home shouldn’t be too tough. We whooped them in Tennessee and they will come out fired up but they’re staying close in the division so I don’t think our boys will have problems staying motivated. Oh, and Indy in Indy too. Yawn.
15,000.. Gotta say that one made me chuckle.... But we will beat you at home BOOK IT!
And Shaub is going to pay for Coochings antincs..
JUST WIN BABY!!!!!!!!
What about is antiques?
That sure would be nice of him to pay for those too.
Bacon tastes good... Pork chops taste good.
I came so close to commenting on that.
