- Matt Schaub held the ball longer on the first play from scrimmage, looking downfield for an open receiver, than David Carr did all of last season. I can't prove that, but I believe it to be true.
- Either Ed Hochule has gotten off the juice or he is wearing a larger jersey this season.
- There are obviously two more games after this, but at this point, I think Zach Diles is going to be around for a while.
- I don't know what you prove by running a WR pass on the first play from scrimmage...in a preseason game. All you've done is put regular season opponents on notice that you've got that one in your playbook. Seems like a waste to me.
- Remind me why I have Dish Network again? I lost nearly the entire first quarter due to a bad signal. Went from the Cardinals' second play from scrimmage to the Schaub TD run. This analysis is going to be a lot shorter than I had anticipated. Kubes must have listened to Spencer T last week, who specifically called for the naked boot at the goal line.
- It's still early, but after giving up only 57 yards on 21 carries to Chicago last week, and getting off to a good start today, I'm pretty optimistic about the run defense. Of course with Petey Faggins as a starting corner, I'm not sure why you'd bother running the ball against us. And the pass rush? From what I've seen, non-existent...and remember what I mentioned earlier about AZ's banged-up offensive line?
- How high is too high to draft Adrian Peterson in my fantasy draft?
- Antrell Rolle is a BIG corner. But he doesn't have the chemistry with Dunta that Petey has, and that's 90% of the battle.
- We will obviously have to limit mentions of this at some point, but while it's still the preseason: David Carr looked like an NFLQB, but Matt Schaub plays like an NFL QB.
- Congress getting nothing done. Tiger winning majors. Kurt Warner fumbling. Some things never change.
- Couldn't agree more with the comments regarding Danny Clark. He's playing like his jock's on fire. Petey Faggins, on the other hand, is just getting burned.
- Couldn't agree more with the comments regarding the no-calls on holding. The tackles are holding on nearly every play.
- The Scott Player lookalike moustaches in the crowd are priceless. How could Texans' fans similarly honor our own Chad Stanley? Our commenters should have a field day with that one.
- Something tells me Kubes is going to enjoy watching the playaction completion from Sage to Jacoby over and over and over...that's how this offense is supposed to operate.
- I'm going to ProTrade right now and mortgaging my house on Second Life to buy stock in Jacoby Jones. Hopefully I have some money left over from buying put contracts on Petey Faggins.
- That concludes the first half. Not sure if I'll make it through the second half...Richard Scarry is calling.
