I JUST found this site!! It feels so good to be back!! Perfect timing too... right before the first pre-season game no less!

The thing I want to see the most is the running game; don't care who is carrying, I just wanna see Gibb's magic start to come together.

Halftime:

Texans 13, Denver 7

Ahman = Oh-man

Taylor filling in just hasn't had a whole lot of daylight to run to ....

Gonna take a while for this offense to gel I do believe...

Anyone know who gave up the late sack to Rosenfels?

What about details on the rooks? Brown, Molden, Okam, et al?

Brown is doing OK - nothing spectacular... Didn't see many rooks in the first half - I think they'll be 2nd half players...

My first impressions.

Running game= teh suck... Green went down on the first run play(I wanted to cry)

Chris Taylor.. I think it was more the line than him, but either way he didnt look good.

Walker.. He looked better than Taylor, but still not great.

Slaton.. The kid did awesome. He may be under 200lb, but if he can pack on some meat and keep his speed he could be our feature back.

"Open" Daniels was there as always. Davis played great. I think the last spot will be a tough battle between Anderson and Crowder... I would have to give it to Anderson though. He was probably the best reciever out there.

I didnt see the other TE's make a huge difference. I really expected Dressen to show up, if he did i missed it.

Flether and Faggins and Roberson all played great. If i had to pick one I would say Faggins had the better game.

I think the Sage sack was partially his fault and mostly Taylors fault. Taylor should have picked up the blitzer instead of helping double the inside man IMO.

Kris Brown has to be one of the best kickers in the NFL, and is definatly one of the most important players on the team.

Mario was the beast we have been seeing at practice.

Okoye looks improved.

Remember we are running a base defense, nothing fancy.

I would not be against Brown and Green going bye bye. Let Taylor, Slaton and Walker be the guys, get Bell in shape and then sign him. Brown had one carry I saw and he went no where, but that looked to be the OL, Green is starting early, and no one touched him.

As I have noted in my practice updates Anderson is going to be hard to cut, and Jacoby is on the bubble, he still seems to be on the inside, but that can change.

We have some depth and we will cut some solid players.

Hard not to like David Anderson in this one. And Mario.

Have to wonder how much longer Green has in a Texans uniform. What's Ced Benson up to these days...?

Get ready to say good-bye to Chris Taylor. He can't even run against a team that will be at teh bottom at stopping the run.

And totally missed the block when Rosenbalm got schlackered.
