Three And Out (Christmas Edition): Useless Predictions For Sunday's Game
From all of us here at BRB, here's hoping you and yours are having a joyous holiday season. Fortunately for those of us who have a running schtick to maintain, the spirits don't take Christmas off. Jacob Marley Tony Boselli stole my wallet visited me last night, all Dickensian-like, and pledged...
With Apologies To "The Princess Bride": Gary Kubiak Is Vizzini
Lucas Oil Stadium. First offensive series of the game. Larry Coyer: All right. What will the Texans offense do? The battle of wits has begun. It ends when you, Gary Kubiak, through your offensive coordinator Rick Dennison, decide what plays to run, and we find out who is right... and who is...
Point/Counterpoint: I Think We Need More Creative Blitz Packages vs. I'M FRANK BUSH! I HELMED THE GREATEST DEFENSE IN TEXANS HISTORY!
Point I THINK WE NEED MORE CREATIVE BLITZ PACKAGESby: DeMeco Ryans It's not that I don't think Coach Frank was an upgrade over Coach Smith. He definitely was, and I would not want to go back to the way things were. That said, I think we need more creative blitz packages if we are going to take...
Frank Bush And The Aggressive Defense That Never Was: A Case Study Of Good 4-3 Defenses
The Texans, two weeks ago, held the Bengals to 46 second-half yards in Cincinnati; they gave the Bills just 83 yesterday in Buffalo. Bush has added speed and aggression to a defense that too long had been Mario Williams and DeMeco Ryans and nine average Joes. There's a personality to this defense...
Behind The Numbers: A Quick Look At The Texans' Defense
(image via www.nyu.edu) In this thread, TexasHoosier made a claim that, call him crazy, but he believes the secondary is playing pretty well, Dunta aside. I started looking at the pure, raw numbers, ready to call him crazier than...than....well, crazier than a Texans fan, but I figured that was...

Post-Game Breakdown: Jaguars Defeat Texans
Yak. As passionate as I am about your Houston Texans, I generally try not to overreact to a single game. Admittedly, I sometimes fail. This is one of those times. With that warning in mind, go ahead and skip the rest of this post if you're looking for pick-me-ups or they'll-get-'em-next-times. ...
Post-Game Breakdown: Jets v. Texans (Part II)
If you haven't read it yet, here's Part I. On to Part II: 1. Lots of talk about Matt Schaub, and it seems to be of the chicken-egg variety. Did Schaub look bad because the offensive line couldn't keep the Jets off of him? Or was Schaub at least party responsible for the hits he took due to a...
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...
A Defensive Adventure in 4-3 Under Minor
Bill Kollar and Frank Bush having a laugh...via www.gonemovies.com. While the fan club for my previous squishy post was rather....small, it and Jake's post on Bill Kollar really helped me put some things together, so to speak. Let's start with the conclusion: I'm not ready to chug the new...
