Great work and thanks for the reminder.

This is weird. Both Keith and AJ are getting poor impressions of Rex thus far, which is what I'd expect. But, LZ, one of the most respected footballl guys in the city, is seeing something completely different and has said he is the best QB on the field thus far.

It's almost as if Rex has some photos on LZ or something.

Eric Winston via Twitter says Cushing got a haircut tonight. "We gave him the Matt Schaub fade"

I suspect it had to be a couple of lineman holding him down. I don't see many others having the Omph to get the job done. I wonder if he took it as just part of being a rook. I hope so. If he takes it well it will bond him into the team better.

Rex has looked spotty at best. But he is only in day 6 of live drills with the new offense. He is working with 3rd string receivers. So i am giving a break.

He has nice deep ball. His release is quicker than Schaub's. And he is IMO still in shock no one picked him up before we did with a mini deal for 3rd team honors.

Orlavski is also spotty at best. His delivery is on the slow side, but his ball gets where it need to be quick enough, and it looks catchable. He is not mentally ready, but he has weeks to go. He checks down a lot.

Schaub has looked sub par so far. He hit a lady in the head with his ball...wait wrong sport. He has looked rusty. Only AJ and David Anderson have looked solid in the pass game. Forgot Owen looks spot on also.

Both aj and Keith left out our heckling to Rick Smith, "Pay the man". Must admit aj had better timing with Ryans int.

Speaking of haircuts, here's a pic of David Anderson's latest, this time with a hairline to match Schaub's:

With a similar hairline myself, I can only wonder if Anderson is taunting the hairline gods.

uh oh.

Texans cornerback Glover Quin left the team’s Monday morning practice with an injury to his lower leg or foot.

The Texans said he would be left out of the afternoon practice as a precaution and will undergo an MRI today.
