We're coming off a tough bye week...Not really, but I think the rest helps us... Texans: 27 Saints: 24
http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/sports/5307989.html Nov. 16, 2007, 12:47PM Texans running back Ahman Green out of Saints game By MEGAN MANFULL Copyright 2007 Houston Chronicle Texans head coach Gary Kubiak announced today after practice that running back Ahman Green will not be active for Sunday's game against the Saints because of injury.
well, we're gonna need a corner. oh, and a left tackle. and yeah..a running back. so we'll probably draft another d-lineman.
The sad thing is that the Texans do need another defensive lineman. I think Mario would be just as effective (I still think he will be a double digit sack guy in the future) on the strongside and the Texans could get a pure pass rusher for the weakside.
This might be wishful thinking, but I think we could be okay at corner. Hopefully Bennett will continue to improve, and Dunta will be back to what he was before eventually. I really think Von Hutchins will be better at corner than safety, so he could potentially be your 3rd corner next year. Then you've got Fletcher and Petey to battle it out for the 4th spot. Of course, if that all happens, we might need a safety. We'll have to see how Demps looks the rest of this season.
The Texans have plenty of other needs that should have priority over RB. Offensive Line, Cornerback, etc.
This one won't be close, the Saints are on the rise: the Texans are the Texans, draft kings. They get the drafting position, they just can't make the right picks, ergo, they make no progress. Folks, it is still the offensive line. We have one of the most expensive underperforming defensive lines in the NFL. Admittedly, the Texans have had some horrible luck offensive line wise, but still.
Good Luck Texans, I will be at this game supporting you guys. Hopefully it will be a good game and it will be nice to see the Texans up close this year!
Just an FYI but Jammal Brown and Charles Grant are out for the Saints possibly their best OL and DL. Bush is banged up and Schaub and AJ are back. No excuses Texans should win big.
Two fumbles in 3 plays. Nice start. And its not getting overturned. This team continues to be an embarassment.
