Well, we cut some "big" names today. The one I'm most suprised with is Rookie Jared Zabransky. I was his biggest fan. :O :'(
But yeah, the list is here:
RB Wali Lundy, P Chad Stanley, QB Jared Zabransky, WR Keenan McCardell, WR Jacoby Jones (ROFL, jk!), DB Dexter McCleon, and Bethel Johnson just to name a few. The rest of the names are here.
But yeah, Resign Jared Zabransky, the Sooner Killing Machine!!!
Wherever he goes, I'll still be a fan....when he doesn't play the Texans.

Texans Lose, but oh well...
Yeah, the Texans lost 31-24, but really, who cares that much about the 4th preseason game anyways? Our 2nd string started, they came out hard. A quick drive by Sage Rosenfels created a touchdown and a even quicker fumble return made the score 14-0. That was it for the 1st quarter. In the 2nd quarter we slowed down a bit, as the Bucs came back with a 24-0 run. We started to gradually come back until a 24-24 score ended about 10 minutes ago.
No stats for ya'll this week. Except for a few. Keenan McCardell - 1 catch, 16 yards. The rest of the receivers each had 1 catch, with about the same ammount of yards. Catches for 16,14,13,12,14, ect. lols, hard choice for Kubiak. Jones stood out even though he only played a series. He had 1 catch for a TD in the first quarter. Was a good catch, and an even better throw by Sage. No one really stood out this game other than him however, they are the backups after all. Hm?
Now, I'm not really covering this game very well for the following reasons: 1. Its the 4th game of the preseason. 2. We're going to be good this year, and this loss shouldn't concern anyone. 3. I didn't really get the chance to watch quite a bit of it because my mom changed the channel to watch TBS. :/
But yeah, a week and a half from now we get the Cheifs coming to our house. It'll be a good game, and I have this one down as a win since the Chiefs have a subpar offense, and a struggling defence. They're 0-3 in the preaseason, currently.
See ya'll in a bit. Thanks for reading.

O_O Texans-- Owners of the Governor's Cup
Yup! We beat 'em! One of the top teams overall in the league, and our first team dominated theirs. Tony Romo still had almost 200 yards, but he had an interception and a couple of TDs on the night. I beleive he went 14 for 26. But who cares? This is a Texans blog!
Matt Schaub had a wonderful night, finishing 12 for 16 with 109 yards. Another person we've been keeping an eye on was Green. He had a beautiful run in the 2nd half, which led to a touchdown.
Speaking of TDs, we sure had our share of them. 4-4 in the redzone, all four of them touchdowns. Now, Kris Brown did miss a field goal, but that's okay. He's 9 for 10 on the preseason. Andre Johnson had a TD, Jacoby Jones actually had 2 (one punt return and the other receiving), and the other two, I don't even remember we were scoring so much! :O
Now, on the topic of our special teams and Jacoby Jones, our defense on the Cowgirls first possesion forced a 3 and out, and Jacoby Jones recieved the punt at the 9. He then went straight down field for his 2nd Punt Return touchdown in the preseason. He can do anything! He can catch, return, and run. That beautiful catch for a touchdown was the exclaimation point in a 2 minute drill, and it happened to be right in front of me. The catch was a beauty. He caught it at its highest point, and it was almost a circus catch.
Our defense was fierce when it came to the run. They couldn't run if it depended on their life. Pass Coverage was a somewhat different story, even if we did force two interceptions. Our QB Pressure improved dramatically, 5 "pressures", 4 "hurries", and 3 sacks I believe. One was even by our local lazy lineman, Mario Williams. Alliteration aside, Mario Williams actually made his pressence felt this game. He had a few tackles and the sack. Our now 20 year old rookie seems to be adjusting quite fine, as he had a tackle or two and half a sack.
Now, Reliant Stadium's atmosphere was astounding. It was about 65 percent Texans fans, 35 percent Cowboys. Actually, thinking back. There might have been more Cowgirls fans. :O Reliant got a record attendence for the preseason tonight, over 71,500 showed up. We were looouuuddd, too. I haven't heard it that loud since maybe the Colts game and before that, the inaugural Texans game against, well, the Dallas Cowboys.
There's no greater feeling than beating the Cowgirls on a Saturday evening, eh?
P.S. COWBOYS SUCK!
P.S.S. I heard my cousin and I were on TV, but I'm not sure. I watched the game when I got home via DVR, but I didn't see us. I saw my dad though. :O

O_O The Houston Texans Win a Game! (echo)
Well, after weeks of looking for an answer (two... XD), the Texans finally found what they were searching for. Matt Schaub took command in the beginning of the game, by going 9-12 with a TD. The Texans at times dominated the Arizonal Cardinals, but who are we kidding? The Cardinals weren't exactly a playoff team to begin with. At least it looks as if we're at the median of the league.
Jacoby Jones, again stoodout. His 80 yard punt return was the highlight of the game. He even had a few catches, as well.
Kris Brown's still proving he's worth keeping. He's 8/8 on the preseason.
Let me get back to Matt Schaub. Remember that Bootleg he had a free touchdown at last week, but instead he wasted the rollout to pass the ball with an incompletion? Gary Kubiak wouldn't let that happen again, as Matt Schaub used the rollout to his advatage to run for 5 yards on his way to the endzone. He had 108 yards on the day, and he looks great. Much better than last week, even though he didn't do anything wrong against the Bears.
Jared Zabransky is much better, it seems, than Van Pelt. Zabranksy looked a little nervous at times, but you could tell he had poise sometimes too. He also ran the offense more efficiently than Van Pelt.
Our running game did decent too! Green's trying to prove he's not over the hill, and he show'd he still has wheels this game. Again, sorry for the lack of stats, HoustonTexans.com does not show them.
Overall our first stringers looked great, it's just... ya know, the lack of pressure that's still a problem.
Our Texans won the game 33-20.
Bring on the Cowboys!

Cochran Screws up; Texans lose in closing minutes
Well, not much can be said about the first preseason game.
Kris Brown showed us he can be consistant, much unlike he's been in the past two years. He nailed all of this four of his field goals, and was voted the MVP by fans in the Verizon sponsored vote.
Jacoby Jones is definitely someone to watch for in the games to come. He's a explosive returnman, and can have the chance to become the number 2 reciever in the future. He caught all but one balls thrown to him, but I'm not entirely sure about the exact number because NFL.com doesn't have the official stats yet. I also don't know because at the game, its hard to keep track of that.
Matt Schaub didn't show much today, he was in there for 2 series and went 3-5 for 25 yards. I honestly think Gary Kubiak should have kept him in there longer to give the fans more of a taste. He should be playing for about a half next week, however.
Jerome Mathis, who's under the fire after a talk with Gary Kubiak, show good hands and that he still should be the kick returner. He almost broke one midway through the game, but alas, he was tackled by the slowest man, Robbie Gould. It was about 80 yards, give or take some, and it gave the Texans life after a Bears TD in the 2nd quarter.
Von Hutchins pick was a refreshing thing to see, especially because we don't see many of them. :P
Our 3rd string quarterback, Bradlee Van Pelt, sucks majorly. I want to see Jared Zabransky in there, and maybe do a fancy Statue of Liberty. Haha.
We were winning 19-17 in the final minutes, but a bonehead decision by Earl Cochran screwed up the projectory of the entire game. Cochran was penalized on 4th and 6, by a running into the kicker penalty. Trying to standout and block a kick is good, but don't try it if we get the ball back anyway. If this penalty wouldn't have occured, I'd be in a good mood.
Robbie Gould kicked a 47 yard FG with 0:36 seconds left to put the Bears up 20-19. And meh, we lost.
But at least we know one good thing about this team.
Our 2nd string can kick any 2nd string team's ass.
EDIT: I said this as a comment on one of my favorite blogs, and I thought it was funny, so I thought I'd share.
"Hey, wasn't that 1 completion by Van Pelt a beauty?! LOL."

It's red and white and blue today.
Houston, TX, Are you ready for some football?
Well, it's finally here. The official start of that certain time of year.
With many questions to be answered, the Texans are gearing up for their Preseason opener against the NFC Champion Chicago Bears. Even though this is preseason, expect the Texans to come out strong, not only to show the fans they can be competitive with the best of them, but also to show Matt Schaub wasn't a bad trade afterall.
Even as I gear up for today's game, I feel ready to tackle what fans call the "best defense in the NFL". Well, they haven't seen the Texans yet. (Just being optomistic :P)
Stay tuned for my Post-Game recap later tonight, and see ya at the game.

Re: They're Back...!
Re: They're Back...!
"I believe I smell football in the air?
Thank god. Our roster is actually looking like...well, a roster, for
the first time in a long time. It's not often a Texans team actually has some
depth.
I'm glad Okoye and the Texans got an agreement, as well as McCardell.
Though I would like to see more WRs in the hunt, it's good to see we have a
veteran in the mix.
Though I may not comment every entry, I'm still here lurking. "
