ESPN reported a few minutes ago that AJ is going to play today.

I missed last weeks game (out of town), but it looks like Ware had a "field day" which certainly points to the key absense of Duane Brown. And that was of course self-inflicted, not like Brown had an injury that keeps him out for a month. It will be good to have Cushing back soon, but no matter how high-profile and popular he may be here in Houston, I don't really think he's as valuable to the team as our regular LT ?
How bad was Rashad last week and what do Texans fan expect of him this week in Oakland ? Thankfully he won't have to play anyboy like Ware today.

Butler was suprisingly pretty good. The sacks he got were actually coverage sacks. One of three was when (for some reason) Dreesen was trying to block him.

Kubiak's coaching was pretty bad. He kept trying to call that quick slant, I guess to try and slow down the rush. However, the Cowboys adjusted and just dropped into a soft zone. Kubiak never readjusted, which ultimately led to a lot of blank stares on the part of Shaub as he sat in the pocket unaware of what to do next..

To my original point, Butler held up his end of the bargain. We need to go into Oakland with a revamped attitude. I really think Kubiak got the big head in that game. When you are told for two weeks in a row that your offense is so great, you begin to think that no adjustments need to be made. This was never more evident when we ran the ball three times inside the five not to get in the end zone.

Absolutely. There was a lot of blame to go around for last week's debacle but very, very little of it (if any) need be directed at Butler.

Wow, New Orleans hangs on....

Raiders win toss, Texans to kick off.

Raiders bring the kickoff all the way back into Texan territory at the Texan 38.

While I, too, am in deep contemplation about the whereabouts of Foster. I am pretty pleased with that first batch of playcalling.

Gradkowski's 1st down pass goes inc.

Pre-snap flag - Okoye offsides. 2nd and 5 for the Raiders.

Dump to McFadden goes for big gainer. Ball is at the Texan 33. 43 yards on the play.

Pass to DHB goes inc. - nice breakup by KJ.

McFadden gets about 4 or 5 over the left side. Brings up 3rd and 6.

Pass to Miller gets 10 and the 1st down.

Ford sweeps to the 10 yard line of the Texans. 2nd down and 3 coming up.

Bush runs to the 2. 1st down.

Kubiak to challenge that the runner fumbled into the endzone.

I can't bitch about a TD, but this is another case of Kubes trying to outsmart himself.
