2DH: Granny, Does Your Dog Bite?
Back in the halcyon days of Da Good, Da Bad & DeMeco, I wrote: Every time I hear the song "The Devil Went Down To Georgia," two things jump out at me. First, under the terms of the agreement, it was apparently up to the Devil to decide who won the competition. No judges were named, and no one...
Brian Cushing Named Texans' MVP; J.J. Watt Named Texans' Rookie Of The Year
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...
Mini Coupe Power Play: The Backbreaker
It was exceedingly difficult to select the Mini Coupe Power Play this week. Part of that stemmed from the fact that there wasn't any single play that you could point to and say, "That was the play that cost us the game!" Mainly, though, it was the simple notion that looking back at the game...
The First Rule of Surviving BRB: Cardio
One would think that lawyers aren't allowed to drink while working, but today while on my lunch break, I received an email from Tim asking if I'd like to join his merry band. My first reaction was that of shock, but then I realized he meant the writers here at BRB. This led to my second reaction,...
One Reason Not To Fear Wade Phillips
Yesterday the search for Frank Bush’s replacement as defensive coordinator began, but the fact that Wade Phillips will eventually be named DC of the Texans may be the worst-kept secret in the NFL. Gary Kubiak and Co. are dragging their feet a bit the same way they did last time they were...
Looking Ahead: DeMeco Ryans In 2011
I made a vow after the Ravens game that I wouldn't watch a single additional Texans game this season. That didn't work out at all, much to the dismay of my poor heart. I'll summarize the games and this season with an appropriate quote from my English teacher right before my final, the day after the...
Post-Game Breakdown: Texans Rally To Beat Chiefs
Several fans have said it, so it hardly qualifies as some sort of profound observation: Your Houston Texans are 4-2, but it sure doesn't feel like your Houston Texans are 4-2. The defense is putrid, and there's no reason to think it's going to get appreciably better. Indeed, after the loss of...
Community Projection: DeMeco Ryans
DeMeco Ryans, freed from the shackles of his rookie contract, is hell-bent on bringing the Texans to the top. Last year, teaching his new partner Brian Cushing the ropes, he again started all 16 games, registering 93 tackles and quarterbacking the defense to competency for the first time since...
What's Right About Your Houston Texans: DeMeco Ryans
Pop Quiz: Who started at middle linebacker for your Houston Texans in 2005? Answer, and gushing about the current MLB for the Texans, after the jump. The answer to the question? Technically, no one. The Texans ran a 3-4 in '05 and didn't transition to a 4-3 until Kubiak (and Richard Smith!)...
Kareem Jackson: What 'Bama Fans Are Saying
One of the biggest perks to being a member of SB Nation is the ability to consult fanatics from other teams. This time of year, having an NFL blog in particular is sweet because we can consult fans of our draftees' colleges. It's that dynamic that led me to ask the guys over at Roll Bama Roll to...
