    One starter per game, wow, crazy. If this continues, not looking good for a playoff run. So far, the team has relatively adjusted, but you can't keep plugging holes.

    Our depth at LB is desperately thin. Outside of Reed, Cushing, Ryans and Barwin, I can't even name any other LBs on our roster.

    Ryans is playing with a Robo-arm apparently. :eek:

    This sucks. Hopefully Ryans can handle the additional snaps he's going to pick up now that its no longer a platoon. Ryans looked better today but still not playing at his pre-injury level. It reminds me of Dunta the year he came back mid-season. He wasn't nearly the player that he was before but he still managed to contribute to the team's success

    that's a big time bummer. The guy was playing very well. Demeco did make some plays but he's certainly not yet back to where he once was.

    Texans will certainly be beating the scouring the streets for someone else. Hopefully there is a veteran who can step in and be serviceable....not to mention Demeco continues to improve but I really don't expect him to look like the player of old until next year.

    LB has quickly become a problem.

    would have been nice to have kept Adibi, but that's 20/20 hindsight

    Braman has been on the active roster the entire season. He's played in every game, mainly on special teams.

    When Mario was placed on IR, Jesse Nading was activated from the practice squad to the active roster.

    I wonder how many plays you have to make on special teams to get a chance at rotating in on defense. Braman has been the first guy to the KR a few times, and has been as effective as Keo if not more so on special teams.

    He's listed at 6'5" 248 pounds, I guess he'd a strongside OLB, but he still looks undersized on the field.

    That would be Mr. Mister Alexander to you! Houston native. Undrafted out of Florida State. Played a little in the preseason, if I recall. He got a call up from the practice squad.
