DanO pressured, chunks it inc. Grounding? Ball at the Texans 40.

DanO pressured again. Misfires on the screen. 3rd and 20 coming up.

Henry runs around right end for about 5. Texans to punt.

Cards fair catch at their 18.

Well runs for about 6 yards. Brings up 2nd and 4.

Short pass to the FB gets about 5 and the 1st down.

Wells TFL by Bing -1.

Oy, Nolan misses his chance at a 2nd pick. 3rd and 11 coming up.

Cards look to have passed for the 1st down but Nolan comes in and breaks it up - inc.

Cards to punt.

Holliday lets the punt roll and picks it up but is immediately tackled. Ball at the Texans 5.

I'm not convinced we can't cover. I am just saying that I would be a fan of a big hitting and physical defense even if it turns out we can't cover.

As for Orlovsky, I meant that maybe he could be a solid backup somewhere. Lots of teams thought so a few years ago (and even David Carr has been a serviceable backup).

I just think it's more than clear that his skill set (or lack thereof), does not match up with anything we do on offense. If you can't take a few big steps and hand off the ball without getting tripped up, you have no business playing QB for us.

What sort of punt returner can't catch?

Sounds like our goal line package is no better than last year. Really bad news about Tate and I hope its nothing more than a bruise.

Defense looks good but I think a lot has to do with how bad the Arizona offense is without Kurt Warner.

So far, I'm not getting this Holliday kid. He looks like he comes from the Jacoby Jones school of bad decision-making.

Orlovsky is officially a clown. Tripped on his own feet.

Just like I'd be a perfectly serviceable backup. So long as I stand on the sideline with a clipboard I'm great. I can listen to the plays being called like anyone.

And just like clockwork Orlovsky trips and falls. Time to get some Booty.

At least he held onto the ball. That's an upgrade over Rosencopter.

DanO tackled in the backfield for 2 yard loss.

2nd down pass goes inc. Brings up 3rd and 12 at the 4.

Ah, pass to JJ gets just enough for the 1st down.

Pass to JJ at the sideline gets about 7.

Pitch to J Johnson gets about 1. 3rd and 3 coming up. Ball at the Texan 24.

DanO hits JJ over the middle for about 15. 1st down.

Henry for about 2. 2nd and 8 coming up.

Pass to Dickerson on the sideline goes for a big gainer. Ball at the Cards 40.

J Johnson powers for about 15 over left tackle.

I think Rosencopter has a couple TD passes tonight.

fwiw, the Dolphins may be willing to unload Thigpen. #options?

So true. I still have that play seared into my brain.

J Johnson runs for about 8 on the left side.

J Johnson for about 5 on the right side. 1st down at the Cards 12.

DanO rolls out right, no one open, grounds it.

Pass to JJ goes to the 8 yard line. 3rd and 6 coming up.

DanO chunks it out of the endzone. Texans to go for the FG.

Orlovsky does not seem to get the roll-out.

K Brown's 26 yarder is good.

Texans 16, Cards 0
