Tape Study: Houston Texans 20 @ New Orleans Saints 38--Beating The Bush
There are a lot of off-handed ways to cleverly make fun of Frank Bush, but I've done enough of that on this blog, so let me just be blunt: This game was a masterpiece of what happens when simplicity is breached. Now don't get me wrong, the defensive line was embarrassingly bad for the majority of...
Tape Study: How Did Frank Bush Try To Stop Peyton Manning?
No matter where you look, there is a healthy fascination with the Colts when it comes to Texans media coverage.

We've done the offense, we've done the defense, and in lieu of coming up with pressing questions about the kickoff coverage, I've simply merged the special teams and coaching questions side-by-side. So here it is, the last installment of the Five Questions series. I hope you all have a lot of...
Five Questions: Defense
Wouldn't you know, I had most of this set typed up and then suddenly Brian Cushing put it on himself to make me knock one of the questions off. Such a narcissist! As constructed, this defense probably deserves more than five questions, but here at Five Questions we stick by our guns like Gary...
