Brian Cushing Named Texans' MVP; J.J. Watt Named Texans' Rookie Of The Year

Not pictured:  Blaine Gabbert weeping.

Nick Scurfield enlightens us:

Inside linebacker Brian Cushing has been voted the Texans’ 2011 Most Valuable Player by a vote of his teammates.

Cushing, who was named an alternate for the Pro Bowl, led Houston’s No. 2-ranked defense with 114 tackles. He had almost as many solo tackles (76) as Texans strong safety Glover Quin, who finished second on the team in tackles, had overall (77). Cushing also had 4.0 sacks, 4.5 tackles for loss, two forced fumbles, two interceptions and five passes defensed.

With Cushing leading the way in Wade Phillips’ 3-4 defense, the Texans allowed only 285.7 yards per game after giving up 376.9 in 2010. That 91.2-yard average improvement was the best in the NFL this season and third-best since the 1970 AFL-NFL merger. The Texans’ defense improved by 9.3 points per game, from 26.7 to 17.4, also the best turnaround in the league.

Star-divide

Can't argue with that; Cushing has been the most valuable player throughout the entire season, with Johnathan Joseph being the runner-up in my mind.

Within the link, there's also news that J.J. Watt was named the team's rookie of the year (also a no-doubt-about-it pick), and DeMeco Ryans won the Texans’ Ed Block Courage Award and a community service award named after Mark Bruener.

Votes for the Bennie Joppru Award are still being tabulated.

alot seem to want Jeffery over an OG, is that the common consensus over there or just the thread I was on?

Jeffrey is the sexy pick

But the Titans need new guards, desperately. I wouldn’t mind Jeffrey over a guy like DeCastro, but I wouldn’t mind DeCastro over Jeffrey either.

can we somehow

slowly move him towards becoming a player coach? the man has what it takes to become a good LB coach and to have his spirit on the field makes me happy. He has been hampered with his robocop arm, and his Achilles, but you can see in his face he loves being out there… just wondering.

The flags, I think, have to do with him being a rookie and receiving the NBA treatment because he wasn’t an established star. Next season, he has paid his dues and the refs will not be so liberal.

Because we're the Texans.

People also don’t really look at how we lost our last two games (we absolutely lost to Carolina, Indy was a win with even officiating, BESFs our backups’ backups almost won).
Our rookie has started fewer games.

Give the Bengals some credit

The Red Rocket has had a stellar rookie year. Except for Cam Newton, probably the best rookie QB out there.

AJ Green has been sick as well.

And Cedric is a beast if he can get some room to run.

That said:

I’m hoping that Andy will be looking out the earhole of his helmet because of the wrinkles that Wade and Kubes have inserted.

I’m hoping they figure out how to cover up AJ enough so that when Andy goes that way, we get some picks.

I’m hoping we can continue to bottle up Cedric.

You know what i dont see happening?

GreenBay Vs. New England for the SB. Something tells me fielding 2 of the worst defenses in the NFL will bite at least one if not both of these teams in the Butt before the SB… Boy would the media just love to have that match up though…. Brady vs. Rogers… we cant let that happen.

by Texan5513 on Jan 3, 2012 4:02 PM CST reply actions  

You're probably right, but if the Texans aren't there, I hope Brady is.

He’s the only AFC QB playing this year who can put up #s like Brees or Rodgers.

Realistic thoughts...

New Orleans is one of the hottest teams right now… Their D has looked great the last few games and ther O is…. well yeah. I would pick NO over any NFC or AFC at this time… team.

As far as the AFC goes i do believe it to be weaker than the NFC…

New England – No D.
Baltimore – hit or miss
Pitt. – Banged up child molester and their run game may be out
Denver – sorry Mike… but i dont see it.
Cincy – has to face houston in the first round… nough said
Houston – could be the upset pick… but they would be just that, the upset

those were realistic thoughts…. Of course the fact that they are my thoughts means it wont happen. hahah. which is good. Houstons first playoffs ends as SB Champions…. we all know that.

by Texan5513 on Jan 3, 2012 4:19 PM CST up reply actions  

I would prefer

San Francisco vs Houston as the SB what would be greater than two teams that havent been to the playoffs in a decade (at least) vying for the NUMBER ONE SPOT IN SPORTS EVAR!

I want this for a different reason.

All year it’s been about high-flying offensive teams with horrendous defenses. A Super Bowl match up between two teams that made it with powerful run games and great defenses would be a nice “fuck you” to those teams and the networks that fellated them all year.

If they didn't have to go up against Brees and Co. in the Superdome

I would favor them over teams like the Falcons or Giants to make some upset noise. BUT going into the Superdome and getting a win is one of the most difficult things to do in the NFL today.

Well earned Cush!!

I’ve been wearing his jersey since we drafted him, and I never gave up on him during his challenging season last year. I hope he replaces the great, and I do mean great, Urlacher as the “recognized” premier NFL MLB over the next few seasons. He deserves the recognition for being such an instinctive and aggressive defender.

Ray Lewis may still be suiting up and getting pro-bowl invites, but he’s soon to follow the way of Junior Seau and become an observer after a long and dominating career.

Cody's sense of humor almost makes up for his deficiencies on the field.

Which haven’t been as big of a problem as I feared. Then again, 56 having his back probably minimized them at least a little bit. Yea… Cushing was a great MVP pick.

You’ve got to love Bob McNair. Not only did he fork over a veritable assload of money just to bring football back to us, he’s hilarious.

He’s a class act, with a class organization. No wonder with only a decade behind us, we’re in the top ten most valuable sports franchises in the world. Good work Uncle Bob.

I am very happy Cushing got recognized by his team-mates

that’s the vote that REALLY matters. Although I confess that I didn’t vote NEARLY as much as I did for Pro Bowl as last year when I was voting for Leach to go to the beach.

In the back of my mind I was thinking … “dude, we’re going to the super bowl, we won’t be able to go to the pro bowl anyway” ;-).

I still honestly think we can make it to the Super Bowl this year. Go TEXANS!

much love for Brian Cushing! =) I love hearing him mic’d up.

LOL Cush to Disrupticon (Antonio Smith)

“This is a grown dog’s game. Ain’t no puppies out here.”


LOL just amazing. Something about the tone of his voice reminds me of Robert Duval playing Kilgore in Apocalypse now. “you either surf or you fight. . . Charlie don’t surf!”

and I often felt disrepectful of Cushing when I saw the picture of the poor guy bleeding from the bridge of his nose and all I could think of was an old Twisted Sister video of the dad saying “what’s that a Twisted Sister pin? On your uniform???!!!!! I carried an M-16 and you carry that . . . that GUITARRRR!”

LOL Cushing is so much cooler than that dad in the video but LOL he had that “mad man” look on his face ;-)
