He gets called for at least 2-3 OPI's a season...and then laughs on his way back to the huddle.
Me too. I'm worried that we are going to be on the wrong end of a couple of personal foul calls, cause if Browner tries that shit he did with Garcon with Julio or Roddy it's going to be end badly for somebody.
I'm not too concern with Smith. He knows there's small margin for error with this game. I think the plan is going to be do whatever it takes to get the win.
Between Roddy and Trollin' Sherman, there will be a Personal Foul. Julio is secretly 40-years-old and wouldn't pick a fight with anyone.

Yea the Hawks guys were giving our receivers shit. I'm pretty fucking sure that one of them injured Garcon also. Will be interesting to see how Julio and Roddy respond.
Having a good tight end is going to help LOADS though.

Sadly Schoob is not a man. All week everyone said he was a wussy, and he still played like one on Saturday

I'm interested to see who gets work in the slot.
I'd go Jennings since Cobb looked a step slower last week and you could use Cobb in other ways. (Bubble screeeeeeeeeeenz).
like not punt returns
Cobb pistol read option is just the wrinkle this offense needs to really sparkle.
Shit, that was pushing it. Sorry LJ.
I'm not so sure about Julio. I've seen instances where he's gotten pretty physical after making some of those tough catches.

Our squad set the NFL record this year for least penalized team ever.
Our guys are well-disciplined and well-coached, and as someone said earlier, this is essentially the Super Bowl for us. I would hope that they won't do anything stupid like that.
Also, didn't Julio, as a rookie, school Browner the last time we played them?
Against midget corner that the rest of the league employs. These guys are different. They shut down the wide out that squicken says is the best in the game.

I did love the play where Kuhn came onto the field and the whole stadium yelled his name before the play, then of course it's a handoff to Kuhn who gets tackled for a loss and we settle for a field goal.
Way to give the play away Green Bay fans!

I think the key for Houston will be controlling the tempo early and avoiding getting in a quick hole. Once NE gets out on you 14-0 or so it's extremely difficult to come back on them but if you can keep things close throughout the first quarter and a half or so and minimize the amount of time Brady is on the field you'll probably have a good shot to win it down the stretch. The nightmare scenario I envision for Houston is being down 14-0 early and forcing Schaub to take the game over. Foster has to have a big game for Houston to win and the only way that's going to happen is if they keep it close early.
Other than that it's going to come down to Houston's pass rush. They were nonexistent the first time these teams met and if that stays the same I don't think they have a chance.
Houston definitely has a shot, though. I look at the two games the Dolphins played against the Pats as evidence, the first game was 17-10 at the half and the Dolphins lost by 7 while the second was 21-0 at the half and the Dolphins lost 28-0. If the Dolphins can stay competitive with the Pats thanks to keeping it close early then surely the Texans can.
The whole "get pressure on Brady" thing is obvious and overplayed but it's also true. The Dolphins sacked him 4 times in their 7 point loss and only once in the 28-0 stomping.

Wow, that's exactly the score prediction I was going to post.
Well, at least there's a reason for the clown car. Got to sell them tickets! If the team isn't good enough, they'll just bring in a new sideshow. Again.
And then Mike had that look on his face like it was a great call gone bad instead of a call involving Kuhn running the ball.
Your defense sucked balls enough to let Alex Smith play amazing. Kap can't do the dink and dunk stuff so your defense will have to stop the long ball to win this one. Your defense shutdown Mr. Webb but it remains to be seen how they will do against Kap.
And Harbs has shown us for 2 years now that he is a total dirtbag and a great coach. He is going to have his team and qb ready and they will be able to create stuff on offense, at least initially, through scheme.
I mean in the first game your team got pushed around. With the Niners having the bye I can see the same thing happening again. The Niners don't really put teams away so it should feel close, but when they are on they can make a 13 point lead feel like 30.

I'm interested to see if teams start leaning towards drafting big corners. A skilled 5'10 guy is great and all, but it seems like guys flourish on scheme more than personal talent. Quarterbacks having nothing to lose by throwing balls high to a covered receiver just seems like too much of an advantage.
Pressure on anyone works. The key on Brady is to dare him to beat you deep (hint he won't), and press and jam the fuck out of his receivers. Easier than it sounds, because they are crafty and used to it and if you whiff you are going to give up a big play. You still need some pressure, but the main thing is to take away his initial read. He likes to get the ball out quick and if you can take away the initial read and get some hits on him he will crumble.
On offense the Texans have to be super aggressive. That team is full of pussies and their coach is a retard so I don't see any of this happening.
Texans are going to get curb stomped.
:me
Big corners are more old school than anything - Mel Blount in his era, or even the Troy Vincent and [I totally forgot his name] duo in Philly in the late 90s, early 00s.
Teams have been talking about big corners for years but guys like Jimmy Williams show that it's rare to get guys that big that are able to run laterally.
I'm down with him.

Flacco is shit on the road.
Peyton owns us, and is 72-0 against us for his career.
But I still think we can win. Why? Because it IS possible. Unlikely, but possible. So who wants to avatar bet through the Superbowl? Godslay?
Ray's Last Dance (as they're marketing it in Baltimore) will go on.

I don't think there's much to take away from that first game - and that goes for both teams.

I'd love to see the Texans pull it off, but realistically, I don't see it. The problem is coaching....I don't see Kubes out witting Satan. Beating a playoff also-ran like Marvin Lewis is one thing, but going into the pit of hell to face the dark lord himself is something else entirely.
thank you
Your team is still soft as butter and the Niners can't play from behind.
I don't think anything has changed.

Yes. They have a run game in the sense that it's a concerted part of their plan now. If youre playing against a Cover 2 you should be able to have decent success running so that at least on certain downs the D is considering it. Of course not a single team will try to gameplan to stop anything but Rodgers . But our team is much more balanced any way you slice it, even if you dont consider them a good running team
Texans problem is total lack of testicles from coaches and qb.
Don't see that being fixed by this weekend.

I agree with everything you said about the key to stopping Brady but I don't think the Texans have to be super aggressive to win. If their coverage is good enough to press and jam his receivers (most importantly in the middle of the field with Gronk and Welker I'd say) and they keep the Pats from scoring a lot early they should be able to mix it up on offense with a lot of Foster and short passing routes plus the occasional PA deep route.
If the Texans get in a situation where they have to be super aggressive they have already lost. Will their defense be good enough to keep this from happening? Who knows. It's not likely, especially based on the last time the teams met, but it's possible. Even in the best of cases they'll need some help though, like Welker dropping a few key third down passes or something.
I was pretty amazed to see DaJuan Harris so involved in the passing game. That could be massive and tells me the kid is making huge strides learning protections and adjustments. That's a great thing. His running is icing.
You going to :squicken if 49ers lose?
Why do people keep saying this? Flacco is great on the road in the playoffs he hasn't lost us any of those games the past 5 years.

Exactly, this is why I'm sitting here making up dream scenarios for how Houston can beat New England when in reality, Schaub.

I love his fatness.
He got pinballed a couple times the other night, held onto the ball, and kept running.
Oh yeaaaaahhhhh.
Matt isn't a man? Look at these moves!
So serious Question.
who was better? 2010 Jets or 2012 Texans?
From what I saw 2010 Jets had higher ranked D, but lower ranked offense.
Jets Ranked 3rd D, 11th Offense.
Texans are 7th D, 7th Offense.
:jnc Jets offense
