Anyone Excited About The Texans This Year?

[Zacharary]

I am!!!! Go TEXANS!!

[SLC93]

I am!!!! Go TEXANS!!

Absolutely. With hometown hero Vince Young beginning his second year the sky is the limit!.......................... What? They passed on VY?............... OK. With second year sensation Reggie Bush leading the way the Texans should be poised to take a quantum leap forward this season!.................... Excuse me? They didn't take Bush either? What the :Censor: kind of :Censor: is that?! These :Censor: guys stink! How could you :Censor: that up?! I miss the Oilers.:D

[KT2000]

Not particularly. That secondary will probably finish dead last or very close to it. The defense isn't nearly strong enough, and I'm not convinced the offense will be able to run the ball for 16 games.

One of the Chron writers predicted a 10-6 season. They should parade around Houston if they do that. That would be an unbelievable achievement for this bunch.

I don't think they are nearly good enough, but we will find out.

[Redhoss]

At the end of the season, they won't be able to blame it on David Carr. :rolleyes:

[TexasRed6x]

I am ready to see that offense. I wonder how good its going to be with Schaub running it. That Jacoby Jones looks like a stud so far. If he keeps this up, he might as well be the #2 WR next to Andre Johnson on the depth chart.

The offense will have its sparks this season, but they wont stay consistant. Remember, they still don't have an o-line. I hope your not expecting an 8-8 season or better, because remember they also still play in the AFC. I honestly don't see them winning more than 7 games. Until they learn how to draft, they will always be known as "that other team in Texas".

[Humblefied]

I say it now, and I will say it again, I will never become a Texans fan until they acquire VY. Then I will think about it.

Oh I am not expecting an 8-8 season. It would be great to see them pull that off but I don't see that happening. I expect them to get at least 7 wins as well. Your right. They have a weak o-line and until they improve that area, they won't get to that 8-8 point.

The schedule looks like

Kansas City
@ Carolina
Indianapolis
@ Atlanta
Miami
@Jacksonville
Tennessee
@ San Diego
@ Oakland
Bye
New Orleans
@ Cleveland
@ Tennessee
Tampa Bay
Denver
@ Indianapolis
Jacksonville

I'd say the Texans have a legitimate shot at winning about 10 of those. They will most likely lose two to Indianapolis. And you can mark down L's for San Diego and New Orleans. But Oakland, Cleveland, Tampa Bay, Tennessee, Jacksonville, Atlanta, Miami, and Kansas City are all pretty bad teams.

Atlanta lost their quarterback.
Kansas City is led by Damon Huard.
Oakland....
Cleveland had Brady Quinn....
Tennessee lost just about every skilled player on their team.
Jacksonville is pretty good but we always seem to play them well.
Miami has looked downright awful.
Tampa Bay's defense is horrible.

[Favpack]

Yeah - that's a weak schedule - good for Houston. Outside shot at 10 wins, should likely go 8-8, might slip to 7-9. I sure would not predict 10 wins though - Chron, the homers.

About par for the course from any VY fan. Sorry Jeremy I just can't ever take anything from you seriously if VY is directly (or in this...indirectly for some) involved ;)

The secondary is rough outside of Dunta, which is sad because he is damned good (almost great) DB. I'm not one for predicting records and such, but at least the team will be interesting.

People say the OL is improved. Hogwash, it's called getting a QB who knows what he's doing. It's like reverse Christmas...the best gift this offseason was actually getting rid of something (Carr). The running game was bad last year, but how could anyone say it'll be worse? Just the mere presence of a somewhat capable QB and an expected improvement in the passing game with the emergence of Owen Daniels and hopefully the continued baptism of Jacoby Jones, I don't see how the running game doesn't improve.

The defense should be in the upper third in the league at defending the run, but the pass defense still has a lot to be desired. There is no doubt in my mind that next year's top draft choice is a safety. It's a must, this club has been missing anything resembling one since inception.

All in all, I'm excited about the team not because of a possible playoff birth (one year away), but the fact is that it should be the best team the franchise has had and will be interesting to watch.

Damarcus Faggins makes me cringe.

Ahman Green is still a legitimate running threat. Green Bay isn't a great team and he still had 1000 yards with them last year. One thing's for sure, he's a hell of a lot better than the random players they've been starting the last couple of years. Samkon Gado, Ron Dayne, Domanick Davis, etc...

[AZTiger]

You think Faggins is bad, what about "Can't Cover" Brown? He's the absolute worst. And I thought Matt Stevens was bad.

[PantherStang84]

At the end of the season, they won't be able to blame it on David Carr. :rolleyes:

They won't need to blame anything on anyone. :rolleyes:

[PantherStang84]

I say it now, and I will say it again, I will never become a Texans fan until they acquire VY. Then I will think about it.

That's ok. We don't want you anyway.

[BoomerSooner]

I don't know. I just remember last year going to the Indianapolis game and watching Faggins try and cover their receivers. Peyton Manning + Marvin Harrison = baddddd news for the Texans DB's not named Dunta Robinson.

[hoo2ers]

At the end of the season, they won't be able to blame it on David Carr. :rolleyes:
True Redhoss, but, IMO Carr will not be missed at all regardless of this seasons record.

[dada]

Jason Babin......Travis Johnson........Mario Williams.....they invested a LOT in these guys and probably could have gotten all 3 in the 3rd round:mad: Together they average like 3 tackles a game....What is a pass rush?

They went from 2-14 to 6-10 under Kubiacks first year....this has to be the BEST team we've had since the NFL came to Houston....we have a decent offense....8-8 or 9-7 should be a good season.

[Redhoss]

True Redhoss, but, IMO Carr will not be missed at all regardless of this seasons record.

I don't think he was as bad as some think.

So far, Schaub looks fairly good under the circumstances. He had less time to throw than Romo and came out on top.

You can't compare GB's near rookie OL to Houston's OL...
I like both Green and Gado...but they'll have a tougher time this year...

He was. See his performances in preseason for Carolina this year. Same old broken Carr.

[hoo2ers]

Yes I feel he was that bad. He was never going to take the Texans anywhere.
This year will show that many of the offensive woes were not entirely the O-lines fault.
I think 8-8 is a realistic record to shoot for in '07

The real question is. Who was the worst 1st overall pick. Mario Williams or David Carr...?

Mario Williams is a good player, but we passed on Reggie Bush, Vince Young, Matt Leinart, etc...
At least David Carr had a ****** draft class to be compared to.

[farmerfan]

Maybe Texans fans should just come to terms with the fact that they are terrible and approx.......I don't know....15 years away from being a contender.

[BoomerSooner]

Maybe Texans fans should just come to terms with the fact that they are terrible and approx.......I don't know....15 years away from being a contender.

Nah. I'm calling playoffs in 8 years, second round in 9, and contender in a mere decade.


But in all seriousness, this team is light years ahead of where it was two years ago.

[Bootsdaddy]

Maybe Texans fans should just come to terms with the fact that they are terrible and approx.......I don't know....15 years away from being a contender.

They're really not that bad this year. Tough to move up in the AFC, though. They have some good young players: Owen Daniel, Ryans, Johnson, J Jones, Robinson, possibly Okoye, hopefully So-so Mario, Schaub. They are definitely headed in the right direction, finally.

[Dragon20]

The D looks Sharp to me.

[Dragon20]

Can they sweep the Colts again?

[SLC93]

Texans 8-8 in the AFC = pipe dream :D

There is no question here. The impact on that franchise of not taking Young/Bush/Leinart will be felt for a decade. Everyone loved Carr coming out. In that case the Texans did the right thing. It's not exactly like he's a flop. He just didn't ascend to the level some thought he would. In the case of Williams, there were teams that didn't have him in their top 5 & a few that had him rated closer to 10. How a team with the top pick manages to miss out on three of the premiere young talents in the league is beyond comprehension.

About par for the course from any VY fan. Sorry Jeremy I just can't ever take anything from you seriously if VY is directly (or in this...indirectly for some) involved ;)

Come on, man. You can't keep using that against VY fans. I've been over that for a while now. I'd like to be able to root for the Texans, but they make that extremely difficult.

Acquiring Schaub looks like a very good move right now, and it dang well better be for the money they are paying him. However, the fact the Texans did absolutely nothing to address their secondary (which ranked 31 out of 32 last year) this off-season is about as inexplicable as any move they've made in the franchise's existence.

The Texans will get torched by any decent passing team they play this year. You better hope Schaub and Ahman Green have huge years because they'll need it to hang around .500. Even in a scrimmage, they made Rex Grossman look like Dan Marino. On top of having a horrible secondary (aside from Dunta), they can't generate an effective pass rush to save their lives up front.

If Ahman Green stays on the field the majority of this season I will be shocked. This is an RB past the prime of his career with a very injury prone history. He's a very good back when healthy, the last of the great Nebraska I backs, but that's been a rare occurence.

I'd like to see the Texans be successful and I am a fan of Gary Kubiak, but when you combine the information on paper with what they've done on the field it's tough to see much to be really optimistic about.

I can't argue on the secondary, but they didn't have many options this offseason to improve it. Yet somehow, over the last half of last year, the defense was in the top 1/3, how do you explain that (hey, I can't either).

What makes me sick is the number of morons who continue to think Schaub will get pounded because of the line. How f'ing hard is it to see that the problem was a QB who couldn't make reads and deliver the ball on time?

[AZTiger]

And I can use that against any fan of Vince I want to, because it's true. Read the comments on the blogs on chron.com. It's ridiculous. Some people act like them not drafting Young was like they stole their first born from them.

I believe it was a combination of both. Schaub looks like a definite improvement over Carr upstairs, but, again, I just don't see a consistent running game for the Texans this year and Schaub will come under considerable pressure unless Ahman can go the distance.

I wouldn't paint with such a broad brush when it comes to Vince. That's far from the only reason I believe what I do about the Texans. I've been scratching my head on the Texans ever since I heard Tony Boselli's name mentioned as the first pick in the expansion draft.

Played hs ball in Houston = check
Played college ball at Texas = check
Available to be selected = check
Plays a posotion you will dramaticaly overpay to fill in the next year = check
Rookie of the Year = check
Watching most of Houston shake their heads in disbelief = priceless

Tell me again how folks aren't suppossed to be sick to their stomach when a hometown superstar doesn't get picked? Imagine if your Texans had posessed the foresight to trade Carr for anything before the draft instead of giving him away by release, picked Young & not given up the small ransom in picks & huge contract for Schaub. You save money on the contract, make money as revenue goes through the roof with VY on board & gain the young talent you still need by not losing those picks in a trade and picking up a little something for Carr. It's called business management. It starts with getting a clue & then developing a plan.

What VY isnt mine??????????????????????????

holy :Censor: ....

[dada]

Texans are retarted.

*Give Boselli a Jillion dollars and he never puts on a helmet.

* Picking David Carr...could have gotten a good Free Agent Vet somewhere...especially when you haven't gotten an O-line. When fans asked about Julius Peppers tell them "You may not have heard about Carr....but we thing he's America's best kept secret...everyone else is sleeping on him"

*Jason Babin....giving him a Kabillion Dollars and trading away draft picks(traded him to the Seahawks for Boulware)

* Giving Carr and Dominic Davis Jazillion Dollar bonuses to make them feel better about all the Vince and Reggie talk....only to RELEASE them the following year.


*Mario Williams #1??????? "He's Americas best kept secret...people are sleeping on him"....where have we heard that before???? #1???? When you have two great players and ticket sellers right there in your lap???

*Letting Aaron Glenn go and giving PHILIP BUCHANNON....an gajillion dollars only to let him go also.........


When will it end?

[svhorns]

Texans not taking VY is the dumbest move in sports next to the Bowie and Jordan draft...

ditto not picking VY in the draft pick is kind of like not picking Lebron James when the Cleveland Cavs had the first pick in the nba

Well you can blame most of that on the previous administration. The current front office guys we have are very good.

BTW the defense came out to play today. Mario has more touchdowns then Reggie Bush, and the same # as VY this season. :D

Mario came out to play today. 5 tackles, 2 sacks a fumble return for a TD. He looked very good, and the fans really want him to succeed.

[Dragon20]

That D is sweet - they are on my fantasy team - Lucky me.:D

[slorch]

cautiously optimistic would be my attitude towards the Texans. After that first possession today, i thought it was a rerun, but they snapped out of it.

best thing about today is I thought I saw guys playing for each other.

[ktCarl]

Absolutely. With hometown hero Vince Young beginning his second year the sky is the limit!.......................... What? They passed on VY?............... OK.

I feel your pain.

[BDB]

to hell with all the could of should of talk. they won today and had a solid defensive performance.

i'm damn excited.

[99cujo]

Nope

[BoomerSooner]

The Texans are undefeated!! Whooo! Carolina next week will be tough though.

[Humblefied]

did anyone listen to the announcer talk bout the Texans after the game? He made it sound like they were Gods or something.

[slorch]

that's part of the new German...uhh...NFL media policy- Love us, or we'll shut you out.

[johnlvegas]

I don't know if I should be excited by the Texans or not. I need to see more.
Heck, this guy thinks the Texans are making him hallucinate: http://www.football-in-texas.com/texans-091207.html

[BDB]

texans on right now.

ahman green is making good progress on this carolina defense.

but chaub hasn't done much.

[BoomerSooner]

texans on right now.

ahman green is making good progress on this carolina defense.

but chaub hasn't done much.

Winning again. Just recovered a fumble in the endzone. 3x as many total yards as Carolina.

[CyFair'86]

Am I excited about the Texans?

Texans 31
Panthers 14

Texans have scored 31 unanswered points. Offense and defense is dominating the Panthers.

So am I excited?

H*LL YEAH!!!

[F18mustang]

Houston is playing real nice. Hopefully they can keep this up and have a winning season.

[BoomerSooner]

Indianapolis is next which will be tough, but then we get atlanta and miami :D

[Lufkin_Class_Of_08]

Indianapolis is next which will be tough, but then we get atlanta and miami :D
This is shaping up to be a good year for houston...they probly wont beat indy (but they might) but they should beat atlanta and miami which means they would start out 4-1...if they keep it up all year it could mean the fans would get to see the texans in a playoff game

[Dawg Fan]

I'll go ahead and start preparing my crow. The Texans look very good on both sides of the ball. I didn't think they would win more than five games this year and now it looks like they won't lose more than five.

Very nice.:cool:

[Lufkin_Class_Of_08]

here is houston's remaining schedule...and how I think they do
3 Sep 23 IND @ HOU L...game could be a close one...possible W
4 Sep 30 HOU @ ATL W
5 Oct 07 MIA @ HOU W
6 Oct 14 HOU @ JAC W
7 Oct 21 TEN @ HOU W

I admit houston does seem like a better team this year but there is still alot of football to be played

[dada]

Did anyone else get a glimpse of Derek Zoolander....uh.......Carr on the sideline yesterday? I wonder how much time he spent on his hair. Those white gloves were great. "I'm pretty sure there's a lot more to life than being really, really good looking. And I plan on finding out what that is."

Everything looks good except I see Tennesse beating the Texans in their first meeting.

[CyFallsMom]

I am more excited than I have been since they began. It was refreshing to see Carr finally leave (guess KTCarl can call Reliant and ask them to fill in those Carr Butt Divets!!). He was a nice enough guy but he just doesn't have what it takes. I am so impressed by Schaub thus far - he has a lot of composure and sees the potential plays downfield way faster than Carr ever did. Johnson looked good yesterday - hope the injury is minor. And Mario Williams is coming around too. I think this team has a completely different mindset and is much more positive about themselves. If they beat the Colts, Houston is going to go bonkers!! Now THAT would be making a statement!! At the present, I am pleased with a 2-0 start.

[dada]

"He'll be reevaluated by Bastin and the team physician, Dr. Walt Lowe, on Wednesday, when they'll have a better idea of Johnson's timetable for recovery"


So I guess we only have speculation until Wednesday...

If that wr doesn't drop the ball for Tenn. yesterday - VY has another comeback win. Bad drop, really bad.

What exactly does this have to do with the Texans?

it means vy and the titans would have beat the colts giving Houston the first place position in the AFC south

i can't believe i'm defending carr, but those white gloves are to make it easy when he's doing his back up duties, i.e. sending hand signals

No, it would of give Tennessee and the Texans first place.

The colts are a toss up game at this point. I'd hate to get overconfident but the chiefs didn't look nearly as bad yesterday against Chicago as they did against us. And Carolina is a talented and well coached team. Indianapolis's thumping of New Orleans isn't looking as good now, and Tennessee is always a threat with Young, but if, say, they hadn't traded away everyone, they very well could have won that game.

With Taurik Glen leaving, and the improved play on our Dline we can probably get some pressure on the QB. It doesn't even have to be a sack but a pressure/hurry would slow them down. If we can have 16 play drives like yesterday, it will keep their offense off the field. Kind of like how we won last year when Ron Dayne went off.
