post game thoughts

1. I was completely wrong about Dunta. I guess it was just rust. He looked awful against the lions, but decent against the bengals. Not because of the INT either. Just the fact that the hesitancy was gone this week. Both in his tackling and in the fact that he became the first Texans defender to jump a route this year (and he did it numerous times).

2. Eugene Wilson has better ball skills than any safety we've ever had. I'm not saying better cover skills, or better Pass defense, or field coverage, and definitely not better tackling. But he plays the ball. This is what a free safety should do. Their eyes should be on the QB most of the time. It seems simple, but every guy we have ever put in center field proceeded to run around looking at the WRs because we played SS at FS. For the first time we have a FS on the roster who plays the ball rather than the man. He should be on the field at FS in every nickel situation if not starting out right.

3. Okoye got a more consistent interior push than I've ever seen over a whole game.

4. Ahman Green is a good RB when healthy (which I forgot), but he can't stay healthy (which I wish I could forget).

5. Our WRs block as well as any in the NFL. Who is our WR coach?

6. Jacoby Jones may be a great PR but he is an awful KR.

7. Ryan Moats looked good in his limited carries but doesn't he just double up what Slaton already does well. We need a cheap young back with some size who will play special teams.

8. That was the worst first half of defense ever played by a team that gave up 6 points in a game. I said before the season our best Defense was to play keep away and it was never more clear than today. I hope we can keep that up and keep the TOs down against good Defenses the next two weeks.

9. Duane Brown has looked much better since they started using Salaam to spell him.

10. Winning is better than losing.
