The Texans signed Casey and Caldwell to four-year deals. http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/sports/fb/texansfront/6546038.html I think this leaves only Cushing and Barwin yet to sign.
Single-game tickets go on sale Thursday, July 30 at 10:00am http://www.houstontexans.com/news/Story.asp?story_id=5384 Also, it looks like Battle Red Day will be against the Jaguars again. From the link: I thought Battle Red Day would have been the Monday Nighter against the former Oilers. Teams can use their alternate jerseys up to two times in the regular season, so maybe we'll have two Battle Red Days.
The past couple of years they've worn the red uni's twice, but only one game was themed "Battle Red". The other has another theme (ie "Fan Appreciation Day" or "Military Appreciation Day", etc.) even though they wear the red.
On Thursday NFL.com will have a story on Boomer Grisgby's quest to make the Texans roster. They are featuring five players' who are "on the fringe." Click link for more info. http://www.nfl.com/trainingcamp/sto...late=without-video-with-comments&confirm=true
Anyone here sign up for today's drawing to buy Texans vs. Toothless tickets? I signed up on several email accounts but didn't hear anything so I guess I didn't win. On to Stub Hub.
BSPN's latest power rankings going into training camp... http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/powerranking?season=2009&week=0 There are at least a couple of teams I would have the Texans ahead of. The Vikings (only there because Favre might play for them), Chicago, and possibly Miami and/or Baltimore. Am I the only one that thinks the Titans are possibly in for a huge downfall? I think they're going to miss Haynesworth a lot more than they realize. You don't just replace a guy like that. I don't think their offense is going to be able to do enough when teams are going to be running on them much more freely.
Seems like I've said this every preseason for the last 5 years and it never seems to happen. I just think as long as Fisher is coaching them, they will always overachieve. In the regular season, that is...

Yeah, not to mention Haynesworth has been injured a good bit the last couple years and the team has still managed to do pretty damn well. I wouldn't expect them to drop all that much.
The 1st preseason game will be cool and the third because most starters play but with the long training camp and meaningless preseason games that will make it seem like forever till the Jets game... Good thing we finally have good players as the holdout drama will make for some interesting chatter!
Yeah, it never fails. I always spend the whole week getting pumped up for the 1st preseason game....then once the game starts, I quickly remember that it's a PRESEASON game and thus only interesting for about 10 minutes...
Exactly what I was thinking. I really can't wait for football. Saturday College FB.....Sundays...mondays! WHOOOOO!!!! I'm sick of summer and my high electricity bills! Bring me some fall / winter baby!
