you were in a class of 4 students studying how to shoot pool. none of you played before.

Now the teacher showed you how to cue the ball, how to chalk the cue stick, how to bridge over a ball, which ball to hit in sequence, how to block the other player, how to make bank shots, what were fouls, so on.

And all four of you got to practice and be critiqued for a month by the coach, atleast four hours a day, plus watching videos, reading theory.

Now you get to a two on two tournament to see which of you is the best.

Your side didn't sink one ball while the other team sank all its balls and wins.

what went wrong- the teacher? or maybe the student can't concentrate for some reason, or you hurt your hand two days earlier, or you did good but your partner messed up, maybe you lost your cool and scratched, ..., after three bad tournaments you get a new pool coach and you still fail. now who's fault is it.

so, just saying it is a team of coaches and players, and its still early in the year. by example, maybe your second tournament you will be ready and win.

Recipe for winning game against KC on Sunday, as usual, if offense plays consistent, limits turnovers, no dumb fouls, we should score some points, hopefully more than KC. I hope AJ and JJ are healthy above 90% this week.

And defense, if the guys are perhaps learning to play more consistent, recognize offense quicker, disguise defense better, and win the line battle for pressure on QB, should do ok in limiting KC points. Similarly I hope Mario and Pollard are atleast 90% this week. They both have sore shoulders.

Of course, special teams need to do better as well, kicking, punting, returns, blocking, limiting fouls.

I guess, i totally missed guess on score last week, so this week, guess its 24-21 for Texans.

Comparing an NFL defensive secondary to learning to shoot pool just doesn't compute with me. Like apples and oranges. But thanks anyway.
