PFW: Brandon Harris Didn't Play Because Of A "Lack Of Speed?"
Many Texans fans, including me, were confused as to why Brandon Harris couldn't crack the CB rotation last year. He wasn't even active for several games. For a team that was far from bursting with proven quality performers at CB, the thought of the team's second-round selection being deemed not...
Texans Secondary: The Great Unknowns
In our never-ending quest to solve the riddles of last season's defense, let's take a look at the secondary. I know it's painful and there are still questions in the much sexier front seven, but at least we have the personnel for the front seven on the roster (true NT notwithstanding). The...
Kareem Jackson Was Dead Last In The NFL Last Year In Yards Per Pass Allowed
Football Outsiders finally finished their charting data (sorry Aaron) and started pumping out some informative pieces this last week. One of them? A look at the worst cornerbacks in the league last year. Who was the worst on two of the three categories? Our friend Reemboi25, that's who. Per FO's...
2010 Review and 2011 Early Preview: Secondary
Time permitting, this will be the first installment in a new series. Unfortunately, due to working 100 hour weeks again, I've only been able to formulate posts in my addled mind and not present them here. I hope my work commitment eases off again soon, but for the immediate future, I'm not...
Post-Game Breakdown: Texans Fall To Eagles To Drop To 5-7...Again
Same as it ever was. These breakdowns get harder every week, in no small part because I feel like I'm repeating myself. For all the talk about any given Sunday, it seems like your Houston Texans are living the 2010 version of "Groundhog Day." Forgive me if I go a little big picture on you after...
From Best Defense EVAR To The Titanic: An Adventure in D-Suck Major
Last year, I did some posts detailing how we did against our opponent's norms. In other words, did we play better or worse against our opponents than they did against the rest of the league? "After the first three games" became some sort of mantra around these here parts because, well, we just...
Statistically Breaking Down The Houston Pass Defense
No one would argue that defending the pass is the biggest problem for the Houston defense. The Texans are giving up 329.6 net passing yards per game1- 32nd in the NFL. Two other teams (Buffalo and Jacksonville) have allowed higher quarterback ratings2 than Houston, but those two are 11th and 29th...
What I'd Like To See: The Secondary...For Once. Please?
So last week's post about Mario Williams bull-rushing Trent Williams wasn't totally a bust. I have a nice, small pile of credibility chips to play with right now. Eventually, I'm due for a miss, but I'm enjoying this run while I can. If that doesn't sound like a real Texans fan, then I don't know...
Comcast Presents: What Happened To Fred Bennett?

Dominique Barber Returns To Starting Lineup
Per Nick Scurfield's Twitter: Dominique Barber will start at FS for the Texans this week, Texans coach Gary Kubiak just announced. Given that this development means John Busing is not starting at free safety and makes no mention of Brian Russell somehow making the dreams of Seattle fans come...
