Official Texans @ Saints Thread, 08/16/2008
 

The thread for any game-related posts as the Texans close out their week in New Orleans to take on the Saints in the Superdome.

JJ's off to a flying start.

Hehe.... Oy...

Saints convert FG:

Saints 3, Texans 0

Brown seems to enjoy the one cut offense a bit.

Still trying to figure out how Matt fit that throw in to Kevin.

Touchdown Texans!

Jason David's as popular as hurricanes in NO at the moment.

Yep, they're getting good yards on Winston's side.

TD to Walter!

Texans 7, Saints 3

Dang, turn around, Jacques.

C.C. goes for the knockout shot there. Nice separation hit.

Nice break up by CC (I can't believe I said that).

Saints go for the FG.

Texans 7, Saints 6

TD Leach!

Texans 14, Saints 6

2's and 3's are probably gonna start seeing action, now..

Bush hurdles for 6.

Texans 14, Saints 13

K Brown FG good.

Texans 17, Saints 13

1's are staying in longer than I thought....

Schaub looking sharp - piling up some nice stats...

Colston pushes off for 6.

Saints 20, Texans 17

edit: score holds up till halftime.

Taylor runs it in for 6.

Texans 24, Saints 20

Brunnel to Dudley - short pass for 6.

Saints 27, Texans 24

Game is a defensive struggle (sarc).

Slaton puts a headlock on a roster spot.

Texans 31, Saints 27

JJ seems to be digging a pretty deep hole with all of the mistakes.

Final Score:

Texans 31, Saints 27.

Offense looked impressive - defense didn't.

No Darius Walker - perhaps they had a change of plans and will give him some PT next week?...

Ugh, Jacoby... it's preseason but he needs to get it together...

Brink OK - didn't embarrass himself

Chris Brown still healthy after a few carries...

Some good individual plays on defense. Not a good game for Jacques Reeves....

Welcome to the NFL Antwuan Molden.

Yep. But way too early to give up on him. Kubes and Marciano will shape him up (or woe is him).

Brown looked very good. The guy can run the ball and fits the offense well. I just fear he may be a tease since it seems inevitable he will get hurt.

Taylor is big, strong, fast, and just runs straight. He doesn't even seem to look for a hole. He can be effective as a chain mover, but I don't see at all the talk of him as a feature back. Looks to have a Rueben Droughns ceiling at best.

Slaton looked awesome outside and between the tackles. Now I want to see him against guys who will have a job next month.
