    People that is football.

    One of the golden rules: don't get caught with your head on a swivel. Palmers has to protect himself because he knows someone will be coming for the QB after an interception.

    Clean hit IMO but also a unnecessary risk... I would bet that gets flagged more times than not.

    Devin Still is on the bubble and trying to make the team, might have been borderline but Still doesn't have room to let the coaches decide on him on plays left on the table.

    Preseason is about the coaches finding out if the fringe players, draft picks, and potential backups can handle real game situations. That no blitz deal probably went away when coaches realized it wasn't helping them evaluate the roster.

    The rule reads the opposite: keep your head on a swivel.:p

    I'm just as excited as the next guy but in their defense they didn't have Patrick Peterson or Tyran Mathieu, 2 all pro caliber players. I can almost guarantee it wouldn't have been as much of a field day had those 2 played.

    Texans missing an all pro left tackle too. I think we're just beginning to watch this team mix it up on offense.

    Also that field turf looks great. So glad the trays are gone.

    First time the Texans have had a QB who can make every throw.

    Schub was by far are best QB ever and he did some things really well but he could not gun it in there like big Brock can.

    He was very impressive today looked a lot like guy named Tom who plays up in NE.

    Really excited about this year, the Texans might have finally found that franchise MVP caliber QB.... The city and team was due we deserve it.

    they can't control who they play against. But making plays against their second string is still better than not making plays. Regardless of their competition, they showed their positive attributes.

    Yes, but our Oline was down 2 starting tackles...and also, we didnt have the best NFL player on the planet playing for us.

    It all evens out.
