    Off topic:

    So far this season our offensive breakdown target wise has been (Numbered by most targets on team):

    1. DeAndre Hopkins: 41 Targets, 21 Completions for 3 touchdowns

    2. Cecil Shorts: 29 Targets 16 Completions

    3. Nate Washington: 28 Target, 13 Completions (I think he's dropped at least 5-6 passes from Mallet)

    4. Jonathan Grimes: 13 Targets, 11 Completions

    7. Garrett Graham: 6 Targets, 2 Completions

    Graham is our highest targeted TE, and he has as many targets as Keith Mumphery so far.

    In the Red Zone:

    DeAndre Hopkins is leading the way with 7 Red Zone targets which is tied 6th (with like 5 other players) in the entire NFL. Cecil Shorts (4) and Nate Washington (3) are again top 3 in our Red Zone targets. Garret Graham is the only TE with any Red Zone target with 1.


    So in terms of overall passing targets, Graham is 40th among TEs.

    Hopkins is 4th among the entire NFL in terms of targets

    Pancakes says Foster has only been limited in practice and needs a full week before he plats, so he must have a week to go.

    ESPN says game time decision.

    All signs point to us having Foster!

    I still think Arian comes back against the Colts.

    No way he plays against the Falcons, then suits up 4 days later.

    It's more important for him to be fresh for the Colts.

    15-20 snaps most likely for Arian if he does play...Best way to prep for the Colts game, get him live reps against a good Falcons team...

    Another interesting note...MJD on NFL network thinks Houston beats Atlanta...at Atl...surprised to hear him make this pick.

    Good for him! He made a lot of plays, but is pretty weak setting the edge, hopefully he can come back and learn to fix the deficiencies in his game.

    Where has Mercilus been all season?

    We're gonna need 2-3 turnovers if we want a chance to win this game.

    The same place every player (not named JJ) goes when they get an extension from Rick Smith. They disappear, they suck, or they suffer a season-ending injury.

    The Falcons are better than the Colts, so IMO we need Foster MORE against the Falcons especially given that they are one of the worst teams against the run in the league. Foster would be just a huge advantage and would set the Texans up with a shot to win both in Atlanta and back in Houston against the Colts just a little bit later.

    I know it's a quick turnaround, but either he's healthy or he's not.

    Having Brooks, Brown, Newton, and Ben Jones all healthy will REALLY help the Texans exploit the Falcons in the run game.

    Well, seems like the Texans are desperate for that pass rush. Just make sure to bring him in on passing downs only, since he's brutal against the run.

    Have you seen any team be able to run against them so far?
