Houston Texans Defense: Partying Like It's 2009?
Throughout the 2009 season, there was a huge hullaballoo about the Houston Texans having the best defense in team history. At the time, I argued it was smoke and mirrors: we consistently under-performed against teams that played remotely talented quarterbacks, and we took advantage of the Rusty...
2010 Review and 2011 Early Preview: Defensive Linemen
Part I: Secondary (also includes a brief description of this series). Part II: Linebackers. I'd like to thank the Academy for giving me this award, my mom and dad for making me in the back of a '65 Chevelle, and ProFootballFocus for providing me the stats and allowing me to present them here. ...
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...
Texans Defensive MVP: A Quick Question With A Not-So-Quick Answer
With all the happiness and rainbows and sunshine floating around the site this week about the Texans defense, I figured we would put up a quick poll about who the Texans defensive MVP of the season thus far has been. Like the title suggests, I just wanted to ask this quick question, but I doubt...
For The Title Of Worst Defense In NFL History: 1981 Baltimore Colts vs. 2010 Houston Texans
With apologies to any Baltimore Ravens fans who stop by because, you know, we feel your pain. TexansDC was nice enough to point out this post by AJ Burge, an excellent Texans blogger in his own right. AJ brings up the 1981 Colts as being potentially a worse defense than the Texans. Because he's a...
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...
Texans Defense: Who's To Blame?
It’s the bye week, and the Texans are 4-2. If you had told me that would be the case before the season started, I not only would have been ecstatic, but I would have expected the fans, bloggers and the team to be ecstatic as well. If you gauge the general mood of all those people though,...
Houston's Not The Only Winning Team With A Struggling Defense
When talking about defensive rankings, most people, media especially, use a defense's total yards allowed per game average to talk who can and cannot play defense. Using these rankings, there are six teams ranked in the top-16 who have records under .500. In fact, two of the top four defensive...
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...
Post-Game Breakdown: Giants Embarrass Texans
Two days later, I'm still not sure how to describe what we saw transpire at Reliant on Sunday. Rivers deemed it "easily the worst loss of the Schaub Era, and probably the worst loss of the Kubiak Era." I think that's a fair analysis, particularly with regard to Matt Schaub, whose play was simply...
