The Nose Tackle Game
Announcer Guy: From fabulous Reliant Stadium in sweltering Houston, Texas, this is "The Nose Tackle Game!" "The Nose Tackle Game" is brought to you by Clorox brand drinking bleach. Are you hosting a Houston Texans game watching party? Has the defense played like brain damaged sheep...again? ...
Grading The Houston Texans' 2010 Draft Class: Sort Of, But Not Really
You've probably read a lot of different pieces grading the Texans' and/or other teams' draft(s). Consider this to be my contribution to the "grading process," which by its very nature is absurdly premature for players who haven't even played a snap of professional football. With that in mind,...
The Great Amobi Debate
For the past couple of seasons, Amobi Okoye has generated a lot of debate amongst Texans fans. Some are quick to write him off as a first round bust, while others still argue that he is young and doesn't have a real compliment next to him to consistently rush the passer. Every year it seems like...

Preseason Or Not, I'm Worried About The Texans' Run Defense
Q: What does the Houston Texans' run defense have in common with the author of this post? A: They're both woefully soft in the middle. There's a whole lot to be agitated about after Saturday night's egg. Yes, it's only preseason, so we shouldn't be marching to Reliant with torches and...
Amobi, Don't Toy With Our Emotions
Uh-oh. John McClain is reporting that Amobi Okoye is experiencing tenderness and soreness in his knee that may or may not need an MRI. Amobi was quoted as saying: "There's a little soreness there," he said. "Hopefully, it's nothing big. We’re taking a look at it. Going out there and...
