A Few Nuggets To Make Your Day

PrintThis past weekend, a buddy of mine completed the Florida Ironman Triathlon. For those unfamiliar with an ironman, it's a 2.4 mile swim, 112 mile bike, and then a full 26.2 mile marathon. All in one day. Without breaks.
Personally, I struggle to understand the internal discussion that one must have with one's self in order to decide to partake in such an event, though I figure it must go something like this:
"You know, it would be cool to do an ironman."
"By cool, do you mean 'stupid'?"
"No, think about it. Imagine being able to say that we completed an ironman. Regardless of whatever happens in life, we will always be able to call ourselves an ironman."
"Ozzy Osbourne calls himself an ironman too, but that doesn't mean we should eat a bat."
"Come on, it'll be fun!"
"No, it won't."
"But we could subject ourselves to months of intense, painful training in order to spend a day exploring all nine levels of hell. Plus, we'll get a t-shirt."
"Ok, I'm in."
Still, I have to give my man superb credit for completing something so difficult. It really is an accomplishment that can never be taken away from him, and he should be forever proud.
None of this has anything to do with football (except that he is a Bucs fan, so his pain will actually extend another weekend), but I felt it was worth hijacking my own post to give him props.
So let's take a look at where the Texans rank in various statistics.
When Bill Cowher referred to the Texans as the most complete team in football, many of us experienced such foreign emotions as "pride" and "happiness." Yet, when looking at the statistics a little deeper, it seems that perhaps that comment wasn't just mindless blabber, but actually rooted in fact.
Take a quick look as to where the Texans rank in Football Outsiders statistics:
- Overall DVOA - 3rd
- Offensive DVOA - 5th (6th in weighted)
- Passing DVOA - 7th
- Rushing DVOA - 7th
- Defensive DVOA - 7th
- Pass Defense - 5th
- Rush Defense - 10th
- Quarterback - 6th in DVOA, 7th in DYAR
- Running Backs, Arian Foster edition - 12th in DVOA, 5th in DYAR
- Running Backs, Ben Tate edition - 4th, and 4th
- Tight Ends, Owen Daniels edition - 8th and 5th
- Tight Ends, Joel Dreessen edition - 1st and 10th -- Dreesen is 1st in DVOA!!
- Tight Ends, James Casey edition- 5th and 19th
- Offensive Line - 3rd in Adjusted Line Yards, 9th in Power Rank, 3rd in Stuffed Rank, 4th in Second Level Rank, 18th in Open Field Rank, 9th in Pass Protection
- Defensive Line - 12th in Adjusted Line Yards, 9th in Power Rank, 17th in Stuffed Rank, 15th in Second Level Rank, 17th in Open Field Rank, 4th in Pass Protection (i.e. pressuring the QB)
- Special Teams DVOA - 9th
Let that all sink in for a second. The only position I didn't include up there was wide receiver, where Kevin Walter is the highest ranked Texan at 17th in DVOA and 31st in DYAR. But considering the team is about to return a guy who is arguably the best wide receiver in football from injury, I don't think many of us would consider this an area of concern.
Outside of that, the only area where the Texans don't rank in the top ten is in the majority of the defensive line rankings.
Sure, there are other areas that cannot be measured, but that's a pretty nice nugget there.
Want more?
How about this? According to Football Outsiders' playoff odds, the Texans have the highest probability of any AFC team to win the Super Bowl. Not just to make the playoffs, mind you, but, as Jake Taylor so eloquently put it to "win the whole <efffing> thing."
Yes my friends, after nine mostly miserable seasons, it's finally good to be a Texans fan.

I've got no problem bashing the team when they do things badly
but we should also credit them when they’re doing well.
I was mainly being sarcastic.
When one of the biggest complaints on this board is that Brandon Harris doesn’t make the Sunday roster, I’m finding it really hard to bitch and moan about anything.

We just keep waiting for it to happen.
We’re so use to let downs and “almosts”. It’s been so long since Houston has seen a playoff football team.
Speaking of Brandon Harris,
Any idea why he hasn’t played much this year?
Are they not wanting to throw him into the fire like they did with KJ?
Or is he not showing enough in practice and they are not confident in playing him?
Matt Schwab, Mary O' Williams, Adrian Foster, and Daniel Owens are my favorite Texans!

I think it's the second one
Consider this a red-shirt year for Harris; after what happened to K-Jax last year, there’s no need to throw Harris to the wolves without giving him time to develop.
The team is built to win now, and other than K-Jax, all the other corners are doing their jobs and giving us the best chance to win.
Kubiak believes in you
In all fairness
Kjax didn’t fall down last week and defended 2 passes. I thought Houston would throw him a parade or something.
no matter how bad they play, no matter how stupid they act, I still love my texans!

makes the Texans’ schedule look brutal. They could very easily drop 5 games down the stretch, as they still play BAL twice, PIT twice, and HOU.

There are no games in the near future that can be slept on
No gimmees and nothing is cinched up. Nothing.
"All our lives we're taught to get in line. The ones who conform never discover."
Agree. Gotta Finish
BUT….we have cinched up a better record than your 2002, 2003 and 2005 Texans and matched the number of wins of your 2006 and 2010 Texans; halfway through the season. It is nice FOR ONCE to be able to STOP and smell the FUCKING ROSES!

Some my think I am not enjoying this
I am enjoying winning like you can’t imagine. This is special. Three over .500 is air never before breathed. Love it!

Florida Ironman
A guy I work with competed in it, too. Took him 13 hours. I can think of a lot of things to spend my 13 hours on that dont include pain. I asked him on wednesday how sore he was the next day. He said, “I am still sore.”
My buddy did it in 13:58
I was able to follow his progress throughout the day as I did a bunch of completely unathletic things and remember when he finished the bike (around 7 or 8pm) I though, hey, only a marathon to go.
To his credit, he came out to play soccer with us yesterday. Also, there were a number of bets on the line including he gets a keg (which he will share with the rest of us) and the owner of our local burger joint offered to throw our entire soccer team a party if he finished in under 15 hrs.
So I still win!

Before he did it
my brother-in-law and I were saying that we were going to start golfing and drinking beer when he started the ironman and not stop until he finished, but we were too lazy even for that.
Good thing too. I don’t think we would have finished and that would have been embarrassing.
Why "bloody nipples"?
Is there a surf session included, or is that just chaffing from a sweaty shirt?
Exactly, chafing from the shirt
"All our lives we're taught to get in line. The ones who conform never discover."
THIS TEAM STILL SUCKS!!!
I’m sorry but I can’t be optimistic like the rest of you. I have seen this season and although it’s been nice we still have 7 more games that can go to shit. Until we actually clinch a berth I won’t be celebrating anything. hate me for it but i’ve been kicked around too much to feel good. i predicted 7 – 9 before the season and I’m sticking with that.

Nutt'd?
Come on man, we rail these guys when they suck, but they are playing solid now. The defense has flourished in Wade’s system and are only getting better with each other every game. The passing game is anemic without ’Dre, but we are running better than anyone in the league. Special Teams started the season weak but is holding up their end of the deal now. The Texans are complete, and hitting stride mid-season.
Hang in there!
I'm not worried about Schaub stepping up if need be, despite Oakland.
I don’t think he’s been that bad, even with his drop in completions. It seems with the success of the running game, they only pass when needed or try to go deep every other go.
by anthonymgarcia on Nov 10, 2011 12:48 PM CST up reply actions
^this
exactly the formula we need to be sticking to. pound the ball, control the clock, play good defense, and limit Schaub to 15-25 throws a game. If you have to chuck it around 30-40 times a game, you’re asking for trouble. See: Cowboys, Dallas.
Kubiak believes in you
Difference is that Schaub has shown he can drag a team back in a shootout
But right now, it’s nice to not have to rely on him to do that

I have a feeling
That you will hate them again if they lose in the playoffs… Man if you dont enjoy these moments why do you waste your time and energy… Even the most successfull football teams only have 4-6 super bowls and they have been around for DECADES. So if 40 years from now we have 5 super bowls that means you will have spent approx. 35 years hateing the texans if they are on par with the most successful football teams. Thats tough… Enjoy the moment!!! Go Texans!!!!

Interesting.
I was considering moving to Corpus. I thought, “Close to decent surf, and still within the Texans’ broadcasting zone”. So much for that.
There are many reason NOT to move to Corpus (believe me, I live here, I know)
but lack of Texans fans is not one of them. Easily 50/50 with Cowgirls fans, a claim most cities in the State cannot make.

Well, Buffalo Wild Wings was certainly devoid of them two weeks ago.
The place was actually shockingly empty for a Sunday afternoon… But pretty much everyone who was there seemed to be a Saints fan. And when you get onto 358 coming south, there’s a massive Cowboys Bud Light billboard. It was off-putting, to say the least.
Yes, most Corpus Christians(?) watch football and party at home with friends.
358 (known here as SPID) is just a stupid highway through the westside. Next time into town, take I37 all the way to the bayfront and work your way into town from there. Much more scenic (if you consider refineries scenic, which I do by the way – plus you see the bayfront, water, boats, people fishing… it’s what makes Corpus Corpus). Also, go to any HEB parking lot and note the number of Texans affiliated car decals.
"Nothing could, literally, not be more exciting..."
I love all the optimism around here
I think this will turn out to be a much tougher game than anticipated though. Even the Bucs fans seem to have already chalked this one up to a Texans win, but they are very capable of beating us.
We may be in for a letdown game here, similar to the Raiders game. But I am hoping for a convincing win (which we are very capable of). Being 7-3 would have this city going crazy.
Vegas certainly thinks it will be a close game
last I checked something like 80% of the action has been on the Texans and the line hasn’t moved. That’s really odd.

Lots of "little nuggets" in that piece.
First this from the “source” itself; Wade Phillips,
Defense is recognition," Phillips said. "Some guys have good eyes, they find the football well, they know when it’s cutting back and when it’s going outside. And he, of course, has the ability to make the plays when he gets there. Ten percent of players, maybe, have that. There are different degrees of it… Part of it is that his will to get to the football is superior. He’s a holy terror or a Tasmanian devil or whatever you want to call it. The guy’s going to get to the football. He’s rare in that category, he’s special. He can really get to the football as good as anybody I’ve been around(emphasis added)
Holy shit! You mean we have a guy playing for us that is in the top 10% of all players? Think on THAT for awhile. Especially all you haters that thought his rookie year was a fluke.
And this from Cushing just made me lulz;
A hard enough hit, the helmet comes down and I’m back on the sideline, they’ve got to piece my nose back
together.
Several others, just didn’t bother copying and pasting.
Just my $.02
Even duct tape can't fix stupid
The part I love is...
Phillips and linebackers coach Reggie Herring worked with Cushing on refining and polishing techniques: How to stay square, how to meet blockers, how to get off blocks, where his eyes need to be, how to read formations and anticipate based on them.
Apparently the previous linebacker coach/defensive coordinator didn’t teach him how to do any of those basics correctly. The good news is, this guy is now teaching the Titans linebackers.
this guy sounds like a texans fan.
HILARIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But I doubt they care enough to do so right now

The best part about this is what I saw on Steph Stradley's Facebook page
Daryl Morey I am from Cleveland, Ellen now better understands my relationship with the Browns
Steph Stradley Ouch. That video is a little too good at conveying how it feels.
Daryl Morey It ends perfectly with “see you Sunday…”

The amazing thing about that block...
Is that most mean-stricken (I realize it’s not a variation of “streak”) players would have looked for a QB or dainty WR to lay out there. Not Cushing; he immediately goes after the biggest guy he can find and puts him on the turf.
Awesome.

Cushing was born in the wrong millenium, he belongs in the Colosseum killing exotic beasts with his bare hands.

Slightly misworded "Sin City" reference?
I suppose I might rec it anyways.
The Guard
Starts shoving Cushing earlier in the clips, and then tries to single Cush out during the return, only to Create the Monster.

Cush is like a pit bull
He feels no pain and blood just makes him more vicious.
I’m really enjoying watching him play this year. Of course, I like the UFC, too. I wonder if there is any relation there. Wasn’t Cush getting into MMA training a little over a year ago?

Training
Is no Joke Keith Jardine has a dojo across the street from my Gym.
I have flirted with starting up over there

crap, I missed it too and posted it below
Is it awesome that we have so much to be happy about that we are shotgunning mic’d up players?
Colt McCoy at the end to Cushing; “You guys make a run OK?!!!”
thursday night football thread?
Im looking for divine and a lttle intervention
And birds dont fly without my permission
Im prolly in the sky, flyin with the fishes

See my world is different, like Dwayne Wayne
And if you want problem Bit#h, i want the same thang

Click this nugget to see mic'd up Cushing in the Browns game!
If this doesn’t get you freaking pumped about our defense, well, you may need to go see a mortician. You may have to wait in line behind everyone Cushing puts on his kill list though….

I finally watched that onmy DVR a little bit ago
I must have had a serious hangover during the game to not see that guy headbutt Cushing while Cush had no helmet on.
We sure do make the Jags look like a bunch of pussies. I mean, compare that to the Glitter Kitties fans running around moaning about Duane Brown’s non-Punch.
You weren't that hung over. I just replayed the game last night on DVR and it never showed the headbutt
I guess the NFL cameras picked it up, but not the network.
Pretty awesome
One thing – did the Cleveland guard get fined for that? I haven’t seen anything in the news….
I hope Cushing learns to keep his helmet on.
Later in the video....
he says just that, “I’m just not going to take my helmet off the rest of the game.” lulz
Just my $.02
Even duct tape can't fix stupid
I thought he said he didn't need to wear a helmet the rest of the game.
Maybe I need to go back and rewatch.
I think he said that, will play without a helmet
"All our lives we're taught to get in line. The ones who conform never discover."
I'm scared to talk about all of this "we're great" stuff.
I don’t want to jinx us.
Or get my hopes up, only to get dashed onto the rocks.
I want to go 1-0 this weekend. I want to see haynesworth (not even worth a capital H) laying on the ground like the deadass he is.
I want to see Blount stuffed inside his own helmet.
I want to see Benarian Fostate put up another hundy on game day.
I want to see Schaub run for his 3rd rushing TD, increasing his lead on CJ 1 YPC.
I want us to get to the bye week with no more injuries.
There are a lot of fans saying a lot of things.
What you say would bear no weight in any sort of jinx.
just got back from a group study
here at ut that asked for 10 houston texans fans to show up. 6 showed up. i was one of them. 3 were texans fans, two were saints fans, and one was a chargers fan. even when im being pessimistic i still try to support my team as much as i can. just thought i would share.
