I didn't think Leinert played that badly. He actually has a stronger arm than I realized, but not like I'm trying to compare it to Elway's or anything like that.
But he's definitely better than DanO, so so much for the value of a strong armed QB. And he'll stand in the pocket and take a hit.
I think they have 4 'backs on the roster given the uncertainty with our top 3,
2 of whom already have hamstring issues. And at this point I'm not even sure if Keo makes the PS, so perhaps that makes room for 4th round corner Roc ?
Say, speaking of rookie corners, what ever happened to Brandon Harris ? As a second-rounder, of course he'll be on the roster, but I've heard little about him this presaseaon ?
The vet WR they just brought in looks like an NFL WR so I guess along with
Dickerson that's your 4th & 5th WR.
Can't help but mention this top pick of the Vikings, QB Ponder. For a white-boy, that kid can flat run. And they say he's a quick study, so he might be starting for the Vikings before the year is over ?

The most encouraging thing to come out of this preseason, IMO, is the consistency at which the front-line was able to put pressure on the opposing QB. It seemed to occur regardless if it was the 1's or the scrubs playing. Hopefully that's a sign of a good scheme that the players have bought into and have complete confidence in. Anyway, it's extremely encouraging considering we haven't seen that in a long......well, never.

Couldn't agree more Popanot. It seems a novel experience for Texans' fans, and just more fun to be able to have a defense to watch that pressures the QB. And I'd imagine the D-backfield also appreciates it.
