random question then (way too early for a thread, but I'll ask it here). If the Texans do as well as / better than expected and win 7-10 games as some suggest, and if Cousins does well for the Redskins... do you want to trade for RG3? My quick answer is no, but I feel like many would want it to happen
still think we win 9 games. thought that all offseason. i think we could win more, after seeing how we played, but i'll also keep in mind that WAS and OAK were in complete disarray
To answer the question, still sticking to my initial assessment of 9-7 ... and no a 8-8 season would not disappoint me
My expectations haven't changed for I though they would be an 8-10 win team if healthy with Fitzy as QB. I still don't think this offense will win us a lot of games as previously thought, but I do like how were just pounding the rock down their faces. With that type of attitude, we could go along way. Health to me was always the deciding factor about wins for the season. If we could manage vets, and protect the young guys we need to grow and learn we'd be in a good situation. Sucks for Clowney going down, but so far not too shabby. Hope they continue to be smart about everything.
Like you've said, no. He'll never be a pocket passer. While having a great arm, he isn't accurate. He makes poor decisions and is as frail as frail can be. I'm not sure I would even waste another year on him if I'm the Redskins. Cousins looks like he could do something and you have all year now to evaluate that. I would definitely stay away from RG3.
You could actually make the argument that Foster's health is the most important factor to our success. Well, maybe Watt first.
Not sure why they don't deserve more credit for beating bad teams....they have gone and taken both wins. That's what you're suppose to do against them. It's not like they played just ok and the other team goofed and handed them the game.
6 players who the Texans desperately need to stay healthy; in no particular order: 1) Foster 2) Watt 3) Johnson 4) Brown 5) Swag 6) J-Jo or Kareem
See, my argument would be that Cush is the most important person on the team. The defense just isn't the same without him
I disagree. The defense is night and day different with him and without him in the game. That's not to say that he's back to being as dominant as he once was because he's not, there's still a lot of rust, but the defense is better because of him.
While I agree Cushing is important... The fact remains that he's not a 3-down linebacker at this point in his career. He has clearly lost a step which makes him a huge liability in pass coverage.
I think that's an overreaction, he missed pretty much the entire preseason, he's slowly getting back into game shape. If he's still a step slow or whatever when it's week 10 then I'll be concerned, till then it's to be expected.
