Uhhh....Pryor isn't a rookie, and Lacy is hurt.... Rez, if Reed starts, you get my rep. That'd be awesome.
http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2013/09/21/duane-brown-out-for-texans-at-baltimore/ Ryan Harris and Derek Newton at the tackle positions...... I will give Matt a free pass for what happens tomorrow.
a darth vader noooooooooooooooooooooooo! Double tight end set with 100 yard rushing performances from foster-tate inc. I'll take a 6- 3 score victory.
I hope Ed doesn't play on Sunday. That turf can't be good for the hip. Plus, I want him full throttle to get a pick or two against Seattle. Russel Wilson likes to sling that long ball.
Must admit - I'm worried about this game. I think the Ravens (even though not the team they were) is going to man up for this one. I expect Harbaugh to have them pumped up and appeal to the teams pride for this home game. It would be nice to see the Texans do one of their fast starts (from the past) and take the wind out of the Ravens. I expect a hard-hitting game with a lot of penalties (the Ravens mostly getting the benefit of the doubt); but turnovers are going to be the decider from there I think. The Texans will get a safety and win this one 22 to 20.
They're top 5 defense right now in the small 2 week sample, but they have the talent to finish a top 10 defense. Their defense was good enough that they could accidentally win some games so they cashed out early on Trent. Like others have said EJ and Austin both have great opportunities. I'll throw in Giovani if he gets more carries.
Good. You never want a guy who's in a boot to be out on the field less than five days later. We can't risk Duane aggravating his foot into something even worse. Even turf toe can prove a season-long nagging injury. I feel like we can beat Baltimore without Duane, and against Seattle and SF I fear that we lose with him or without him. So just rest him for as long as you need to. All that matters is that he is as healthy as he can be come the playoffs.
We wont beat them without Duane...we need to be full force on the OLine to be able to have a chance against their defense.
Problem is that I can never bet against Houston, as it's going against my heart...and I always think that we can win any game regardless of anything. However, in playing Seattle, Duane is one of the biggest keys to us winning...without him, the job becomes exponentially more difficult. Our defense would then have to go toe to toe with their defense, which is a daunting task.
can't believe people are talking about Seattle already this Ravens game is going to be tough, not sure our o-line can hold up
3-5. Lost to the Cards (5-11), Rams (7-8-1), Lions (4-12), and Dolphins (7-9). Tied with Minnesota for worst road record amongst playoff teams. In their only road game this year they beat Carolina 12-7.
