Deep Steel Blueprint: Houston Texans Preseason Opener Edition

PrintMonday night means the return of one thing - the return of Deep Steel Blueprints! My love for my own not-so clever title aside, it's actually time for some football...even if it is of the preseason variety. Why am I saying it like that? We're Texans, so we'd probably get pumped for some flag football.
Like many of my fellow Houston Texans fans, I am incredibly excited about the 2011 NFL season. This is the best roster of talent that we have ever seen under the always-closed retractable roof of Reliant Stadium. The NFL Draft and free agency periods have produced many high-marks from fans and media alike. It's happening...or at least that's what we hope we can continue to say as we move through this month of dress rehearsals.
Wins are nice, especially for a win-starved fan base, but that's not the true goal of the preseason. Leap and look to see what I think it would take to make Monday's game a successful night.
Everyone is going to be holding their breath while starters and expected key contributors are on the field. We're going to be hoping that everyone bounces back up and no one hobbles off to the sidelines. As we saw last year, an injury doesn't mean the end of the world (right, Ben Tate and Arian Foster?), but we don't need to test that again. According to head coach Gary Kubiak, starters are expected to be on the field for 10-12 plays, so hopefully it will be a healthy 10-12.
2) Please Don't Look Absolutely Lost.
Given the lockout and it being the first game of the season, I expect there to be rust, penalties, and what have you. This doesn't mean I'll excuse absolute ineptitude.
Offensively, I want one good drive where they're moving the ball. Scoring would be nice, but I'll take a few first downs, given that some starters won't play and others won't play long.
Defensively, I know they'll be in a lot of base plays and sets. I want to see players grasp the 3-4 defense and their new roles. I don't want to see people lost on their assignments or playing horribly out of position. Show me some competency, maybe a sack or takeaway, and I'll be quite pleased.
3) Want A Job? Go Get It.
Gary Kubiak's very well known for taking battles down to the last possible moment, so position battles will play out over the course of the entire preseason. However, I hope to see players in these battles step up from the beginning.
Starting spots are on the line, and I'd like to see some guys begin to separate themselves from the pack so each unit can begin to develop that cohesiveness with as many repetitions as possible before September 11th. For all those talents battling for a 53-man roster or eight-man practice squad spot, go out and make some plays. Good talent seizes the moment and forces opportunity for itself. I want to see players take control of their battles and help give an idea of who will be a Texan and who won't.
From fans to coaches to players, it's time to leave 2010 and its near-misses behind us and focus on what 2011 can be. It has the potential to be a memorable year. I'm excited for what awaits us and hope I'll see things on Monday that keep fueling that excitement. What say you, BRB reader? What makes for a successful Monday to you?

I'd like to see
A good opening drive by the starters, a solid 5-10 play scoring drive that shows that our offense hasn’t missed a beat and can hang with one of the best Ds in the league.
I’d also like to see our starting D come out and knock Dirty Sanchez in the mouth, maybe force a turnover, but I’d be happy with Mario just knocking him on his ass.
As far as backups go, I want to see that Leinart can handle the team in the even that (heaven forbid) Schaub goes down. And more of RB Chris Oingoboingo as I’ve mentioned before, I want to keep calling him that all season.
"I’d also like to see our starting D come out and knock Dirty Sanchez in the mouth, maybe force a turnover, but I’d be happy with Mario just knocking him on his ass."
That’s about where I am with the D. I’d love to see them come out and look so good that the collective fapping knocks the Earth of its access. Short of that, I want Mario to come out and look like a bigger, better DeMarcus Ware.

That's solid, but I was thinking of this Sun-Tzu line:

To a degree yes
But not for the same reasons – probably to see everyone do their job.

Temper Expectations
The biggest thing for fans is to be realistic and understand that preseason is just that. Yes you want to see the D look good and the offenses hit on all cylinders. Just be realistic that if it doesn’t go perfect on Monday night it’s not the end of the world.

Yes

I didn't do anything wrong!.... and, I won't do it again.
Technically that's supposed to be next year
Which is why we have to win the SB in 2011
I'm a man!! I'm forty!!
i say we blitz every down just to let teams know we are serious.
dont matter if it is preseason or not. Time to get our name out there with other teams. I kinda want to see if MR irrelevant can bring a pass rush worth noting.
nah
I’d rather just see us run the base D competently. Maybe a few blitzes here and there but I want to see our front 4…..err….front 3 getting good penetration with Mario and Barwin crushing the outside. And of course I want to see all of our secondary hang with their man and stay on their feet.
If we can run the base D with no major brain farts then I’ll feel pretty good. We can save the blitz packages for the Colts.
I'm a man!! I'm forty!!
I just wanna see
KillaWatt! and I for one am very interested in who will make the WR depth chart. Aswell if as the battle for CB2 (Honestly I want Kareem to surprise everyone and be streets ahead of Allen)
Copy/paste from the other thread.
What I’m looking at Monday:
Mario
Barwin
Reed
McManis
Kareem/Allen
Mitchell
Lester Jean
Leinart
Defense as a whole.
Also interested in the return game. Who’s returning and how well they do.
Prediction: 11-5 AFC South champions.
No injuries.

I see 2 things
Shaun Cody is listed as the starter over Mitchell and Allen is listed as fourth string cb with Jackson as the no. 2

yea i think we all know Cody is going to start.
but yes allen and brandon harris that far back really?
At camp on Saturday
during DL drills everyone was lined up going thru the dummies and swatting the shit outta them and Shaun Cody skipped the drill twice by waiting until the line was halfway through and just walking over to the other side as if he already went. Demeco caught him the second time and goes “Really?”.

Some of the guys are flipped.
Although it’s from the defenses perspective.
Mario and JJow are on the wrong side.
Prediction: 11-5 AFC South champions.
Yeah
He’s apparently going to be allowed to freelance a bit and line up on either side, depending on matchups, etc. My guess is, like Ware, he’ll spend most of his time on the right, simply because that will generally be the weak side.

what mario freelance?
you said the magaical words for me. can you imagine him doing whatever he wants. have him blitz up on the center see if he can stop a 285ILb linebacker coming up the middle.
Yeah he'll probably move.
But most of his starts will probably be at WLB on the offenses left.
Prediction: 11-5 AFC South champions.
yea you might be right.
it all depends on matchups i guess. Do you see our second team D? looks ok on paper but might be really really bad. Keglar, X-man, Reed, and Rev.
The depth chart on the main site doesn't have him behind Demeco on second team.
I think that yahoo depth chart is to far off. Just use the on eon the main site.

Prediction: 11-5 AFC South champions.
yea you might be right.
it was just hard to go with the home site when they had quin starting two spots and Darius starting guard. i really can’t wait to see what second team Lb’s do.
I'm not surprised Shaun Cody's starting.
He’s been taking all the snaps on first team. I also expect him to be demoted once the coaching staff realizes that he just doesn’t belong out there…probably after the second game.
This will be fluid, once they see how poorly Cody and Jackson play, changes will be made.

I am just hoping for both sides of the ball to look like they are coming together…. Not perfect, just headed in the right direction. Just no “deer in the headlight” gaze…..
Like noted above - no injuries - but I am looking forward to seeing
New guys
Guys at new positions
Looking for some attitude
I could care less about winning or losing – but if it is near the end and a winnable game, I want those 4th quarter scrubs to play with the attitude that it is the Superbowl.

I figured that was the case.
I was being a little smart-assy – lol. That is one of the most incorrectly used phrases in the English language and I just couldn’t help myself. No offense Barry.
Ok you're absolutely correct...
I just didn’t want to help myself … but still meant no offense. I’m on a quest to help eradicate the misuse of the “could care less” / “couldn’t care less” phrase!
I'm going to be intensely focused on the
secondary. Safety play, corner play. Signs of definite improvement, that’s all i ask for. I feel good about the line/lb play going forward. But I need to see the cancer that was our secondary at least look like it’s headed for remission.

I'd also like to see some takeaways.
We had 18 turnovers last year which was near the top of the league. Unfortunately we only had 18 takeaways. We need more of those and that has been a point of emphasis in Wade’s defense.
Prediction: 11-5 AFC South champions.
Absolutely
We’ve been so anemic in the takeaways column. And I don’t just want to see us get a lucky one either. I’m talking about the kind you get because you play good D.
I'm a man!! I'm forty!!
Casey and Reed
I would love to see at least one play involving Thor out of the backfield, and I want to see if Reed is gonna show something worthy of a high second round pick
UTD whoosh
i hope so...
i’ve had this feeling every since we drafted him (although a great value pick at the time) i think he might be a bust… idk y… just had that feeling, hope i’m wrong.
Hope he plays more like Clay Matthews rather than Bobby Carpenter.
nice choice of players to use.
i for one was excited that we drafted reed, but if he turns out not to pan out for a 3-4 team then o well atleast we jumped back in the second round to pickup brandon harris. i will have to go look at what other player we could have took instead of reed.
I'm so pissed
off that we didn’t draft Bowers, He was the biggest steal of the draft at the 20th pick let alone 44th
but he might not play this year.
did you really want to take that risk? considering we move to a 3-4 there was no place for him play.
so you would have liked...
a line of jj.watt.earl mitchell and Bowers? I mean if we wanted to wait to see if he was really ready then yes but the jury was still out on him. He did not even play in th first preseason, so that would worry us as texans fans. Why waste a pick on him.
That sounds like a hell of a DL
I agree he has injury concerns but why not take a risk on a guy who was mocked to go number 1 overall til said injury concerns over adding depth for OLB (which we needed to do but that early was meh) given I’m super biased towards Bowers (Biiiiig Clemson fan) maybe I’m just in love with the idea of having a healthy Bowers raping olines with watt and williams but I never claimed to be a practical fellow so my lust for Bowers/Watt/Williams is just that a fanboys desire
granted i liked bowers too
and to tell you the truth i still do not know if mario will be back next year. That was one of the reason i wanted bowers. if reed pans out to be a bust then we all can come back and look at this draft in 5 or 6 years and be like DAMN! Kinda how we do now with Okoye, we could have had Patrick fucking willis or revis. It is all about chance and we took a big one.
Still it amazes me that Okoye had 2 sacks the other night.
See what a little coaching can do for some players. and teams better not sleep on the bills this year either. 9 sacks granted it was preseason and against the bears but still
ya they've quietly put together a pretty good defense. tough division though.

Hi, I’m new on here and although I’ve put it in a bit more detail on the personal info thing on my profile page, basically I’m from England and I got into NFL about 2 years ago.. decided Houston would be my team cz I have relatives out there.
Just wondering if any of you have any sites where I can watch the Texans for free cz coverage over here is limited in the regular season, particularly so for the Texans, and non-existent in the pre-season… am considering signing up for the NFL Network GamePass thing also so do any of you know if it’s any good?
And also, I’ve read up about the past of the Texans and am quite familiar with their previous inception, as well as past players and performances… however on reading some of the posts on here previously I keep seeing BESF being said in relation to the Titans, I know they’re not our favourite team (to put it mildly) so can someone pls tell me what this means, so I too can enjoy ripping on them as much as possible while also putting those previous comments into greater context…. cheers

Not particularly relevant I know
But I wasn’t aware of this site at the relevant time…. anyways, going back to the draft, I’m just curious to see what others think about the Mr Irrelevant pick, and why we didn’t take a punt on Mark Herzlich, cz even with his injury concerns I kept reading he had first round talent and I was just thinking to myself that at that point in the draft we didn’t really have a whole lot to lose on someone who may just come up big in the future.. gotta admit that I know very little about Ozhugwa (excuse the spelling) so maybe, hopefully, he’ll prove me wrong, but still….
it was a homer pick pretty much.
which means he played ball in houston and so they picked him. Alot of us where saying the same thing about Mark, and pretty sure Nightowl will let you know more about it.
yeah I read he played in Houston
but I wasn’t aware that came into a teams thinking tbh, other than that though I quite liked the draft, the only other one I took notice of was the previous years and I would say the jury’s still out on that one atm haha so no real complaints, just a curiosity

A main reason why Cheta was chosen was that...
Wade had worked with him in the East-West Shrine Game, as he did with Shiloh Keo.
I assume Wade liked what he worked with.

ahhh okay
I knew that was the case with Keo but not with Cheta, fair enough, cheers

Took a while to figure it out
I was on the Herzlich bandwagon but….I’ll give Wade the benefit of the doubt. At least it can be justified with his direct knowledge of Cheta.
"Lord, beer me strength."
I still think we might have wasted a pick on T.J. yates.
i know he knows our system and all but i think alot of us where like WTH. I think we should have went with Quan Studaviant or greg jones,
I kinda like Cheta
Though that might be based on his awesome name and short-burst quickness than anything else.

Is there any logic to Cody starting over Mitchell?
Color me confused but UprootedTexan’s reports seemed to indicate he was absolutely positively tearing s*** up at camp.
He's the vet.
So he’ll reap the benefits of that til Mitchell outshines the hell out of him in preseason
No matter how either play
I’m betting that they go with which ever one of them is playing better any given game, and probably close to 50/50 to start out.
Earl has more talent, so hopefully he can emerge and play well enough that they have no choice but to play him more than Cody.

No injuries of course.
But I would also like to see the 2nd and 3rd string go balls to the wall and dominate providing a comfortable 20-30 point lead to show us that the “not showing up till we’re down by 4 td’s” is not tolerated this year.
I agree

No injuries should be on everyone's list.
Definitely will be paying attention to the secondary – KJax, JAllen, BHarris, GQ, Manning, McManis especially the battle for CB#2 and Nickel
I also would like to see how the WR battle for #4 and #5 spots go. Maehl, Jean, Dickerson, and Toliver.
I think if the first team offense goes out, does a long drive and comes away with at least a FG, I’d be satisfied and say “get them off the field NOW!”
As for Defense, I want to see an interception. I know it’s preseason but I hope that a turnover is a good indicator of how Wade’s D allows for plays to be made.
And sadly, I want to see how Matt Leinart. Been hearing real good things about him in TC and I hope he does well. Either going to be a good backup or good trade bait next season.
what I want to see
leinart prove he belongs in the nfl. Super mario and mega watt makin dirty sanchez shit himself. Ice kareem not melt when the heat is on. Brandon harris threaten allen and k-jax’s job. Wade’s d in action. Wrs getting reps. Vickers blow up a few lbs. THoR make me wish for a wishbone formation. ’meco bring leadership back to the d. Connor return to form. GQ and manning play well. And no amr tweets.

I would love to see Leinart drop bombs....
all preseason long and maybe in spot time this season. And then come next offseason we get offers like Rodgers-Cromartie and a draft pick for him like Philly did with Kolb. Other than that, I’m interested in seeing the battle for the last couple receiver spots. Casey vs. Vickers. The new punter guy vs. Maynard. Return game. Cody/Mitchell manning the inside. And lastly a very close eye on Eric Winston even in very limited time. He sure has done a lot of work improving his brand and self image in the media world, let’s see if he will play to his potential and the Jets will be a great challenge.
Wanted: Cornerback, Closer, and Center
The rookie punter is named Brett Hartmann
For a punter, he’s huge (6’4" 227 lbs). I hope Rackers is helping him work on his tackling technique so Hartmann can take over the kickoff responsibility. If he can pin teams deep & maybe get a few big hits, we may just start calling him “The Hitman”. Apparently he also has a cannon of an arm, so we might see a fake punt pass down the line

I liked Arrested Development
It kind of ended leaving alot of the story unfinished Better Off Ted was great too, oh and Weeds is soooooo much better (In my biased opinion) I’ve probably watched the entire series (Season 7 excluded) 4 times over. My Love for that show is unholy.
That was the problem with AD.
They were getting canceled for some stupid reason so they had to wrap it all up in the third season. It ruined it, but it still rocks.
I watched weeds up until it wasn’t on Netflix anymore, the main reason was just because I was in my “WOOOOOOOO WEEEEEEEEEED” phase. I have since grown out of that.
We are all important to each other, and because of this we have a purpose. - Daniel Black (Yes, that's me)
So Seasons 1-5?
I have a massive crush on Mary-Loise Parker. But theres just something in me that absolutly loves every aspect of that show, and can never stop watching.
and yeah about AD, the end of the show seemed like they were doing the “Next season on AD” I hate when shows get cancled for no goddamn reason. Better Off Ted was just as good as AD (even had some of the same people haha) then it just disappeared when it was getting good.
I don't deny, she is damn fine!

My guess is they couldn't get another team for the SEC East
Makes it pretty hard when no SEC team wants another in-state team in the SEC. North Carolina would make sense, but there’s no way they leave Duke behind. Until they get that other team in the East division, A&M is left out in the cold

The sec
just doesn’t want a lawsuit…its kinda like how it is with free agents. Since A&M is part of another conference the SEC can’t just say yeah we are gonna take them..it’d be like tampering. Team X cant talk about player Y until free agency start because his rights are still owned by team Z until he is officially not a part of that team anymore. A&M will probably have to officially announce they are leaving the Big 12-2 first before they are “officially” invited

So guys I am using the stunned schaub pic for my avatar on another forum.
I am using the original and something happened to where people were messing with it and amazing things happened.
Oh yeah and also this:
Haha, I love them.
This forum has nothing to do with the Texans and is actually the official GTA forums, and some of the people messing with him don’t know who he is. Nonetheless it’s awesome.

Nope, not yet
I still have to get some fajitas, some pico de gallo, some boneless chicken tenderloins, some bacon, some tilapia, some guacamole, and just in case 2 cans of Drank & a bottle of Grape Vodka in case everything goes bad. Plus I need to figure out if I can get today off

does anyone know if we are staying
in a base defense or are we going to blitz and try different things? I figured they would wait until the third game to showcase some stuff but I don’t remember what last year’s pre-season was like.

Probably will be some basic blitzes, nothing too creative or exotic though

I could see them going either way
As they have to learn all the ins and outs of the system

The ins and outs of the system
That’s why I think they’ll spend more time on the base D to make sure everyone knows their assignments and get the play calls right. Blitz packages can be added later after they proven to all be on the same page. I’m sure Wade will throw a few in there but nothing like what we’ll see in the regular season.
I'm a man!! I'm forty!!
I think we'll see a very vanilla defense (fuck off Frank Bush)
So as not to give TOO much away. Difference being Wade is actually CAPABLE of creativity on defense.
