Shaun Cody had a great game so


what do you Cody haters have to say????  Maybe Coach Wade knows what he's doing.  duh?  Defense looked HOT!  Great team effort on both D & O.  WHAT ABOUT THE JJ'S??   JACOBY Jones looking good on Special Teams AND JJ Watt - awesome!!  That pick was right on.  Shaub, Tate, Ward....and Andre faking out the camera man....wow.  Great game and there's more to come and I can't wait.  But damn we shoulda shut out the Colts.....

Totally says alot about your user name.....

If you watched the game with your BFD glasses, then I could see how you would not notice significant plays when you see them. If you think Cody didn’t play well, then you probably are a BFD. Putting your hatred above the team is not what I would call a true team guy.

WTF??

Get your BFD butt out of the bottle and ask yourself…..doesn’t this sound a little like “I don’t have anything else to say” paranoia??

Obvious troll is obvious

Cody had a single fumble recovery (which Mario would’ve gotten anyway). Aside from that he did not register on the stat sheet. Plus, he knew what was up because in the second half he took off his gloves, sleeves, etc.

All these boundaries - Africa, Asia, Malaysia, America - are set by men. But you don't have to look at boundaries when you are looking at a man - at the character of a man. The question is: What do you stand for? Are you a follower, or are you a leader? -Hakeem Olajuwon

Ron Edwards

Of the Chiefs had a great game last year at NT on opening day, by mid-season it was back to the usual and apparent he had no business at NT, same with Cody. If the Texans had a dominating NT (can we make Curley Culp 40 years younger?) I would bet house money on a SB trip.

He and Robert Brazile

Culp revolutionized NT, and Brazile paved the way as a 3-4 OLB for greats like Lawrence Taylor and your Derrick Thomas.

Needs context, though

In 1970, there were precisely three players over 300 pounds. 265 would be a large player for that era. In addition, he was a champion wrestler, known for his extreme strength and toughness.

Nevertheless, those three Oilers you see up there? They were responsible for the carrying out the modern interpretation of the 3-4 defense. Only Elvin Bethea (65) is in the HOF, which is a joke.

Derrick Thomas

I am jumping off the Chiefs. I have been watching the Texans since Kubiak came to town, can’t say I am not dissapointed and expected more but he beats Haley by miles. Until the Chiefs have a major change I will be spending my Sundays watching the Texans (thank you directtv).

Loved DT! If not for postseason meltdowns by the Chiefs offense he would be breathed in the same vein as LT. I like Brooks Reed as he reminds me alot of a young Jared Allen, except he is a olb of course but I think the kid will be a beast.

Please tell me how this describes a guy that had a good game.
Shaun Cody has never filled us with much confidence as a 4-3 DT and we questioned his projection as a starting NT in a 3-4. He didn’t put in exactly a vintage performance in this encounter to put those doubts to rest. Against a none too potent Colts running game he put up a run defense grade of -1.6 and was rather easily controlled on a few inside runs.

Mario Williams will have 4 sacks and 1 int by Game 4 of the regular season.

calling Wade Phillips a liar...

give the credit where credit is due….the D had a great game and Cody was part of it. Get over it. He had the fumble recovery – NOT Mario – and get over it. Responsible as part of the D for the next points on the board. Get over it. All I have to say.

Why you guys let BFD get to you is beyond me. For 2 years i’ve been reading but never posted. It’s painfully obvious he has no knowledge of the game. Numbers dont make you a great player. Playing the scheme does and that is what Mitchell and Cody do. How many “great” NT’s are in the game today? Look who had the most tackles on the team. An ILB I believe. That happens because Cody and Mitchell get “pushed” around in the middle. Its there job to be "overpowered’ by the center and possibly a guard in order to prevent the C and G from blocking the LB’s. Sure they will never be all pro’s, far from it. If you ever paid attention Cody plays the screen as well or better than any Dlineman in pro football. So quit being such a hater and just root for the team, because basically, you dont know squat!!!

What is it with this BS?

Give it up – there ARE fans who don’t agree with you. You asked me to give you some details on reasoning – this guy does and you’re all ….“who are you?” Quit whining.

by texan on Sep 15, 2011 1:51 AM CDT up reply actions  

HAHAH!

Details? What details? This person clearly has no idea what they’re talking about, and they gave details?

An example of details:
@11:54 in the 1st quarter, notice how C Jeff Saturday codys Cody easily, washing Cody into JJ Watt and deftly taking them both out of the play, allowing Addai to pick up 6 easy yards.

That’s detail. Detail is not: SHAUN CODY WHOOOOOOO!!!!!! Watt led the team in solo tackles, not “an ILB I believe.” I mean, jeebus, you can look that up on Yahoo! in like 2 seconds, and they were too clueless to even do that.

Also, since you seem to be watching football for the first time...

No, the NT’s job is NOT to get pushed around and washed out of plays (let’s call those “codys”). Their job is to hold the point of attack, tying up as many blockers as possible to allow the ILBs to roam free. When you’re being pushed around, you’re not holding your point, but you are creating nice, juicy running lanes for the RB.

What do you know about NT's or defenses?

Wade Phillips – who is going to put Texans back into playoff mode – thinks you are WRONG.

by texan on Sep 15, 2011 1:54 AM CDT up reply actions  

Obviously far, far more than you.

You keep saying “Wade Phillips” like that de facto makes Cody good or something. You DO realize the two are completely unrelated, right?

Here’s your final take-away for this morning. Shaun Cody has the honor of “anchoring” 2 of the 5 worst defenses in NFL history, the 2008 Detroit Lions and 2010 Houston Texans. I don’t normally believe in correlation equals causation, but I have to believe there’s a relationship in this case.

SHAUN CODY WHOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Logic isn't a friend of yours, is it?

How can the Texans go “back into playoff mode” if they’ve never been in the playoffs?

I'm curious, texan (from Cali)

Will you be fellating Cody after his absolutely sucktastic performance today? According to you and justfb, if being pushed around is a positive quality in an NT, Cody was outstanding today.
