Ex Post Facto Mortem: Texans v. Niners

Email
PrintI simply don't have much to say at this point tonight. The defense is unrecognizable by any modern Texans standard. Sure, we still can't tackle worth a darn, and our interior play is questionable, at best. But we also aren't giving up 30 yard passes at will. The first team offense is delightful, though we still need to find out more about Arian Foster. As of right now, this is a mighty fun team to watch.
This is the place to let your post-game feelings hang. Essentially, this is the final meaningful preseason game. We'll have more posts later, but this is the place to vent your raves, rants, loves, and hates about the match-up between your JUGGERNAUT and the San Francisco 49ers. Have at it!

Injuries
My main concern
Then the semi-flat play at the beginning
Otherwise – OK – hard to tell though, as SF didn’t field a “1st team” that much
Mario Williams will have 4 sacks and 1 int by Game 4 of the regular season.
...because they don't really HAVE a "1st team"...

Not bad for Schaub.
He was responsible for 37 total points tonight. Some real bad turnovers late in the first half though.
Prediction: 11-5 AFC South champions.

Almost twice as many plays run run on offense. 28 to 6 in first downs. 0 points allowed by the defense. Now thats just sexy….

Glad the Texans actually played like the superior team.

No need to have the starters out there playing backups.

Wasn't much need to have the first team out after first half anyway.
What with the total domination. Maybe the defense, since they weren’t on the field very much (how awesome is that?) but in general, I think Kubes did it just about right. Both units looked to be in midseason form, so no need to have them out there risking injury in a meaningless game.

but first impressions was that he was impressive, except for that one play where they collapsed his side and ran off tackle. i can understand why it happened tho, looks like wade was coaching them up on backside help to plug up the holes and keep the running gains at a minimum. seemed to work, for the most part.

Mario seems to be especially worried on runs where he is back-side containment. I think any “hesitancy” is due to simple adjustments to the position. I’m still giddy about Mario’s new role.

Welcome, Tariq
Looking forward to a day when being a Texans fan doesn't mean that April is the highlight of my season...
a thought.
i remember back in high school there was this kid who bullied me everyday, but because he rode the short yellow bus to school.. he was classified as “slow.” slow my ASS that dude was a foot bigger than all of us, and he was mean as hell.. and he liked messing with me. well one day with my back up against the wall i popped him in his right eye, out of instinct. it swole up something fierce, so bad that i actually got called into the office because they thought he got jumped. so afterwards half the people were like “good stuff, you stood up for yourself” while the other half were like “aw that’s wack you beat up a retard.” i guess my point is, sometimes it’s better to just beat up on a slow kid, because it’s WORST to be the dude that got his ass whipped by the retard. implying that the 49ers are the retards in this story. it’s true that the 49ers are not talented by any stretch of the imagination, but we went 6 and 10 last year.
ILL TAKE ANY WIN I CAN THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

I dunno
Having a guy who can hang it up there and drop it on the one consistently would be even better, at least if we had decent special teams coverage.

We actually stopped a running back in a short yardage situation.
When was the last time that happened?
This whole idea of having a defense that stops the other team from scoring is so confusing.

Do you think I would offer someone a beer and then insult with a gift of fermented ape sweat?
You, sir, underestimate me. I would never offer a beer that is of lesser value than at least a Fat Tire, Red Hook, Pete’s Wicked, Shiner or something of a similar qualitative state.
Pshaw.
