These guys are interview champions. The crap Duane is saying the exact same thing that was said after the New England loss, I assume there will be a renewed focus felt in the locker room after this upcoming loss on Sunday as well. If only these guys were coached as well at football as they are at media relations
Just praying that we don't come out to another slow start; specifically on defense. It seems as though playing from behind has been the norm lately.
If Joseph plays, I don't want to see him anywhere near T.Y. Hilton. Put Johnson on him, and let J-Jo be the Nickel corner. I'm not sure what's going on with him so far, but his decline has been palpable.
No matter who is on TY Hilton, they have to have safety help over the top. He's fast enough to burn any of the Texans' corners and he doesn't drop the ball like Fuller does. If no one is over the top, it's a TD.
I see the Texans starting hot like in the Tenn game. Hopefully, they don't tail off though like that game.....
You're complaining that they are good with the media but not good at football. I'm guessing your just venting because there is no reason they can't be good at both. And hey at least their good at one right now, one less thing to worry about and one less thing to fix.
Look, the Colts simply aren't good. Their defense is very poor due to a lack of talent. They fired defensive coordinator Greg Manusky and all that did was expose their painful lack of talent on the pass rush. Manusky was very good at hiding the Colts' flaws using blitzes and that enabled them to feast on the below-average quarterbacks in the AFC South giving Indy the appearance of having a credible defense. Not any more. This game will turn on how well the Texans (and Bill "I have to coach better" O'Brien) can exploit this weakness. Instead of hoping the defense can carry the load, this time it'll be up to the offense to produce. And that's where I have my doubts because here are the week 5 numbers for both teams: Texans: Overall: 31st; Offense: 32nd; Pass offense: 32nd; Run offense: 30th; Defense: 13th; Pass defense: 9th; Run defense: 26th; Special teams: 30th. Colts: Overall: 27th; Offense: 21st; Pass offense: 21st; Run offense: 9th; Defense: 31st; Pass defense: 30th; Run defense: 31st; Special teams: 1st. The key to this game will be for the Texans to (somehow) run the ball down the Colts' collective throats and control the clock but as you can see while their (Colts) run defense is putrid, so is the Texans' run offense. Meanwhile, the Colts' offense is much better than that of the Texans especially with the run. This is what's been keeping them in games and that is why it would not surprise me if they pull out a win on Sunday night over the Texans. This is a very winnable game for the Texans but they have to do much better than they have thus far in order to come out with a win.
Just wondering, what makes their special teams first? have they been getting large returns? or is it defensively, not giving up big returns?
