Regretfully agree. So, what defensive lineman will we draft in the first round next spring?

No way Garrard is better than Schaub.

[Arky]

They. Better. Draft. Secondary.

[Arky]

Pass over the middle to DA good for 15 and a 1st down. Ball at the Jags 19.

Dump to AJ gets about 11 and makes it 1st and goal from the 9.

2 minutes till halftime.

[Big Texas]

So we spot them 17 and then try to make some miraculous comeback. Why does everything have to be so damn dramatic around here.

P.S. Jacque Reeves; the story is out that you cant cover.

[Keith]

If there is any team that knows how tenuous a first half 17-point lead can be, it's these Texans.

Man, what a different offense this is with Schaub. An accurate QB is essential for it to work, which is why the Grossman signing was such a mind boggler to me. The things Grossman does well and not so well are like the polar opposite of what this offense needs.

[Arky]

C Brown punches it in from the 9!

Jags 17, Texans 7

1:56 left in the half.

[HPF Bob]

If we can get a quick turnover, we can make this a game again.

[Arky]

Kickoff goes out of the endzone so Jags ball at their 20.

Thomas on the end around gets 6. 2nd and 4 coming up.

Pass to Thomas good for 11.

1st down pass almost picked by Reeves - ends up inc.

Draw to Jennings goes for 11. 1:01 left in the half. Ball at the Jags 47.

[TheMatrix31]

Gee, how did I know Jacksoffville would score by the end of the half?

[Arky]

Garrard scrambles for 12.

Pass to Jennings good for 8.

Pass to Thomas good for 4. Jags in FG range. 15 seconds left in the half.

1st down pass goes inc. Scobee on for the FG.

46 yard attempt is good.

Jags 20, Texans 7

5 seconds left in the half.

[Arky]

AD brings the squib kick back to the Texans 38.

[Big Texas]

So we are on opposite ends of the spectrum from last week.

[Arky]

Seems as though the sucky half is the first half today.... We should get "good Texans" in the 2nd half....

[Big Texas]

My question is, are we good for only one good drive this game. If so we already had.

Another thing is, Del Rio is gonna come out the second half with adjustments. Lets see if Suckiak is ready for his adjustments.
