Battle Red Radio: Covering This Loss Better Than Kareem Jackson Did
Plenty to talk about tonight. Some bad, some good, some sad, some ... hood? Well, Kareem Jackson has been working on his trash-talking this offseason, so at least there's that.
Join myself, MDC, and BFD at 9:00 PM CT as we discuss this loss, what it all really means, and then slice each others' veins just to feel ourselves bleed. Because nothing has ever changed now that we lost to a good team on the road.
Leave your questions in the comments or over here. This week we are going to (for the second time) attempt to take a few phone calls during the show. If you listen to the show, I will read the call-in number on air at some point. That is your signal to jam the phone lines and become immortalized as part of a radio segment that tens of people will listen to. Or don't, like you did last week. Whatever you feel like. (Jerks.)
Here's a direct link to the show if the embed below doesn't let you listen to it live. While you wait, you can catch up on last week's show, where Tim and I attempted to convert Chris of Houston Diehards over to the dark side

I just watched Kubes give the Monday Q&A over at the mothership:
we may have lost, but I do like this guy…….
Too bad he's a BUM.
I think 95% of all my comments now are just sarcastic replies about firing coaches and trading players.

I'm still stuck on the most accurate comment of the week about how Kareem Jackson
couldn’t cover a receiver inside a phone booth!
….and how unfortunate it is that Hines Ward is phoning all his posse about this fact…

Seriously, we dump Slaton and still haven’t cut K-Jax?!! That guy is our biggest liability on defense, and even Cody supports this comment which says VOLUMES.
Newbie here
I know that Kareem Jackson was thrust into a starter role before he was ready and before we had a real Defensive Coordinator. But if we don’t see any significant improvement by the end of this season, how much longer should we invest in a liability? As long as you’re a nice guy, Kubes is gonna believe in you. And with his status as a first round selection, how much longer can he command a starting slot?

Great Question
Welcome to BRB.
Looking forward to a day when being a Texans fan doesn't mean that April is the highlight of my season...
Thanks
Been following for a while. Decided to stop shadow lurking and join the conversation.
by BattleRedPriest on Sep 27, 2011 10:15 PM CDT via mobile up reply actions
I hate to talk out of both sides of my mouth
since my current assessment of K-Jax is that he is a *"mudslide" bust, but in fairness most current top talent shutdown corners spent 2 to 3 years on special teams and bench duty. Even the valiant Nnamdi was on special teams for 3 years before rising to greatness. So do we suffer while they let him learn in a hot position, or do they park his ass for someone with some “skill”?
*mudslide = that chunk of shit that slides down your leg when you are so drunk that you “shart” and don’t feel it, but you are SO drunk that you don’t care because both elbows are dug in deep to hold you up and keep you from cracking your skull.
As I said this offseason.
If he doesn’t significantly improve by years end I have no doubt we’ll see him demoted/cut. Yes he was torn apart Sunday by Lance Moore but it’s still 1 game. He played solid in the first couple so lets see how he responds in the Steelers game.
Prediction: 11-5 AFC South champions.
cue me in when to call
and leave the number via comment
So I can at least slip out of class and make fun of MDC

I think he’s too jacked from missing time and just running hard. I think he can improve on that.

Agreed.
He is in his second “rookie” year. What I like is his ability to carry defenders for extra yardage before finally going down. Imagine how good he will be with a full season under his belt.

So weird.
I hated the Texans, yet didn’t want them to suck. I hated Andre catching so many passes, but damn did it make me love him more. I felt so conflicted, but it ended in the best way for me.

My uncle is a beekeeper
and makes his own mead. 25 gallon batches take 2 years to come out tasting right. He puts in a new 25 gallon batch every 2 months, so he has cases and cases and cases of different kinds of mead lying around.
It’s amazing.
The strong do what they have to do; the weak accept what they have to accept
I've been wanting to try mead for years
But have never really been able to find any. Until last weekend when I stumbled across some at Central Market of all places. But I didn’t want to spend $20 on one bottle at the time. At least I have some hope of finding some whenever I decide to throw the money at something that I have no clue if I will like it.

Relevant stat from PFO:
Brees had -74 DYAR throwing to his right on Sunday, the worst of any quarterback this weekend. Both of his interceptions went that direction, which doesn’t help. He ended up going 9-of-15 to his right, but for just 56 yards, a rate of 3.7 yards per attempt that is very un-Brees-like.
Much of that seemed to come from Kareem-related coverage towards the end of the game (along with some nice plays by DeMeco in the flat on the right side). Still, seems like there might have been a way to adjust based on that. Oh wells, another week, another match-up for Wade to figure out.
