Thank You, Gary Kubiak
Rivers' exquisitely crafted note of gratitude to Wade Phillips gave us an idea. For the next several days, we'll periodically be posting entries thanking various people who had a hand in making the Texans' 2011 season as enjoyable as it was. The season's over, which blows, but there's a lot to...
Thank You, Rick Smith

Houston Texans' UFO: Unexpected Front Office
Who knew crow was best served with a pair of defensive backs and a side of grits? That's what I discovered this past weekend as I celebrated the Houston Texans' free agency fortunes in the 2011 NFL Free-Agency-palooza. I didn't expect it and somehow that made the celebration even sweeter. Last...
Is Anyone Really Not Renewing Their Texans Season Tickets?
After Bob McNair decided to bring Gary Kubiak and Rick Smith back for a sixth year, there was much gnashing of teeth and beating of breasts within the Texans fan base. Some of the fans who were the most upset and vocal about the continuation of the status quo at Reliant Park were also season...
Cutting Corners: The Kareem Jackson Pick in Hindsight
"In Smithiak We Trust." This was the header here on Battle Red Blog for a short while once upon a time. It was seen on Texans message boards, member signatures and even scribbled on poster board at the stadium on game days. Fans said it. Fans believed it. They also believed that after the 2006...
Post-Game Breakdown: Colts Easily Handle Texans On Monday Night Football
Perhaps one day, my great grandchildren will witness your Houston Texans win a game in Indianapolis. With efforts like yesterday's, I have very little faith a Houston win in the Hoosier State will happen during my lifetime. Or at least as long as Peyton Manning is under center, anyway. As it's...
Matt Leinart Is A Houston Texan; I Am Confused
As Rivers' FanShot proclaims, Matt Leinart is now a member of your Houston Texans. I don't understand this move. Dan Orlovsky has not inspired any confidence that he can step in for Matt Schaub if Schaub goes down, but Leinart doesn't make me feel any better about the QB depth. Indeed, as many...
Aaron Schobel: Here We Go Again
On August 16th, recently released defensive end Aaron Schobel announced that he would not pursue a playing career with another team despite reports that he would like to play for the Houston Texans. The discouraging news came as a surprise because signing in Houston made so much sense. The Texans...
High Five: What Is The Best Transaction In Texans History?
We had our corresponding poll of awfulness, but now, with Tim showing us the optimism that we will surely come into the season with before the Texans ruin our dreams again the glorious 16-0 season we are about to embark on, it's time to check out the opposite side of things. The best transactions...
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,...
