Samsung Game Ball Of The Week: Quintin Demps

PrintWhen it comes to the roster of your Houston Texans, I like to think of myself as a fairly knowledgeable fan. Generally, if people ask me what player is wearing a given number, I can answer the question quickly. I'm sad awesome like that.
Thus, it was more than a little disturbing at Reliant on Sunday when I could not immediately figure out who #27 in steel blue was during the first handful of Cleveland's offensive snaps. The guy was all over the field, and Wade Phillips even brought him after the QB a time or two. #27 looked legit. I'm ashamed to say that I had to look at the roster printout they give you when you walk into Reliant to see who was wearing 27.
Ah-ha, I said. Quintin Demps. The fact that he'd just been re-signed to the active roster a couple of weeks ago, after Danieal Manning went down, made me feel a little better. I still should have known Quintin Demps was #27, though.
After his pick of Colt McCoy late in the first half, and the subsequent 42 yard run back that enabled the Texans to bring Neil Rackers out for an insurance FG right before the break, I won't have that problem again.
Quintin Demps, you are #27. And you are the winner of the Samsung Game Ball of the Week for your excellent effort in the win over the Browns.

Division nicknames
I love the glitter kitten nickname, it always causes a ruffle with my co-worker who likes them. I see that we call the titans the SE-bf’s or something like that can someone tell me what that means. Do we have one for the Colts?

Looking forward to a day when being a Texans fan doesn't mean that April is the highlight of my season...
The Manningless Colts fits them for now....

Then...
The Donkey’s. Another equine friend of the Colts and Mavericks/ Pony’s, but is kind of a social outcast. I also hear they are sterile. (I think)

LOL
Thanks for the clarification! I knew it was one of them!
Yeah
In lieu of another name…but it does sound lame though (pun intended)
There were these two Colts fans
Neither one had much common sense. They were told by their boss to put the mule in the barn.
When they led the mule over to the barn, they decided that the mule’s ears were too long and he would not fit into the barn. So they put their heads together and decided they would get a ladder and a saw, and they would cut a notch in the overhead of the barn so the mule could walk right on in.
They were sawing away when the boss walked over to them and asked them what they were doing. When they told him they were notching the barn because the mule’s ears were too long, the boss said:
“Why don’t you just get a shovel and dig the dirt out of the ground below? Then the mule could walk right on in”
The two Colts fans looked at each other and said "We told you, his ears are too long, not his feet!
I didn't do anything wrong!.... and, I won't do it again.

If McManis can't separate himself from the pack, then it's time for him to go

Want the hear something sad.
Even when Derrick Ward came in he could still run. Thats another problem to good have.
Assuming Texans make it to the Playoffs
Their playoff slogan should be ‘Shock n’ Awe’.
If you think about it, it fits. Flying under the radar, everyone expects us to bolt in the first game. But then here come, Foster and Tate with Cushing ready to blow something, or someone, up.

I like this one. All the others, not so much. I really don’t like all this forced nickname nonsense. If someone coins one and it catches on, fine. But, sitting around and trying to come up with something? I think we are already getting too Patriot-fanlike. Sure, let’s enjoy it while it is here. But trying to force it takes away something for me.

I don't like the forced nickname thing either
Nicknames are supposed to be organic.
I'm a man!! I'm forty!!
i thought that could b our running backs nickname. we were talking bout it yesterday.

we got the shit kicked out of us by grossman when the bears went to the super bowl
and the seahawks kicked our asses a different time I think
Watch me all in flames, on a butterfly I ride
Never played on NBC
ESPN had the Sunday Night games the last time the Texans played.

They will give that game to green bay vs giants
by Hstntxns on Nov 8, 2011 2:17 PM CST via mobile reply actions
CBS and Fox have a right of refusal for a game of their choosing.
Fox will most likely want to keep GB vs Giants. CBS will either refuse our game or the steelers. Then it comes down to the game leftover after cbs refuses and NO vs Det
Correction: Fox has protected the GB vs Giants game already.
It’s down to ATL-HOU, CIN-PIT and NO-DET
nm, I thought we get Jags that weekend. ATL-HOU looks good, as do the others.
I tend to think we got a good shot at getting it considering the other 2 are conference games (one being division also) and are more likely to get protected.
OT
Many have talked about how the tough part of the Texans schedule is behind them and they’re coming up into a soft part of the schedule. I’m not so sure I see it that way. 3 of the next 4 opponents; the Bucs, Falcons, and Bengals are all competing for the playoffs. Yes, the Texans are looking nice on any given Sunday, but those three teams are not brush-offs by any means. They are all in the hunt and to be feared.
I didn't do anything wrong!.... and, I won't do it again.
I left out the Jags and I really shouldn't because that game is more important to win than the other three because it's a division game
Sure, it’s the Jags, but they can’t be overlooked.
I didn't do anything wrong!.... and, I won't do it again.
The toughest part of our schedule is behind us
NO, Pitts, Balt > TB, Atl, Cincy.
I’ll wait to see what Cincy does this weekend against Pitts before I decide to worry about them. Buffalo would be the only quality win they have, if they don’t end up falling apart and finish as a sub .500 team. Cleveland had a “top 5 D” as well before we played them and look what happened. The AFC North has a weak schedule this year and it is skewing their numbers. Any given Sunday always applies, but no way those 3 games worry more than the first part of the season.
