Official Texans @ Jaguars Game Thread, 11/14/2010

Well, if our defense can quit giving up the big pass play, we might just win one, maybe, I hope.

Gus Johnson calling the game. Does that mean we can chalk this up as a W?.... I hope so.

Koobs needs to shake things up a bit to get these guys refocused.

Suggestion: take Jacoby Jones out of punt returning and make Special Teams special again. He's 29th with an avg of 8.9 yards per return. Double that and then he's in the top 10 avg

I think most anticipate a fumble before a TD out of him.

Seems we had a lot of penalties during kickoffs and punt returns first several games of the year, with many nice runs brought back.

JJ has done better catching the ball and running well this year, when given a lane to run. He had a 39 yard run last game. He was pretty shaky his rookie year for sure.

I'd rather see some shake-ups on the defense side of the ball, we need to do something to get lots more pressure on the passer.

I guess I will predict we win, 27-24. seems I've been right half the time so far this year.

I have absolutely no idea, not even a clue how the team comes out this Sunday in FLA ? Flat or fired-up, who knows ?

Texans have won more often in J-Ville than any other stadium other than their own...plus, their W-L record in FLA is pretty solid.

But there's nothing like Gus Johnson in the final minute of a close game. I enjoy his little operettas.

@Adam_Schefter: Jacksonville DE Aaron Kampman out for season with torn ACL, according to Jaguars twitter account.

That sure helps Schaub's ribs a bit.....

New cornerback Allen could see action Sunday for Texans (OD out)

From the chron:

Coach Gary Kubiak said after practice today that new cornerback Jason Allen could play at Jacksonville.

Allen, a five-year veteran claimed on waivers by Miami, worked overtime with the defensive coaches today to pick up as much of the system as possible. How much Allen learns will determine whether he plays and how much he plays, Kubiak said.

Allen, who also has played safety, said the coaches have told him he'll focus on cornerback for now.

Meanwhile, tight end Owen Daniels has been ruled out of the Jaguars game. Daniels has been out with a hamstring injury. He said he hopes to play in the next game against the New York Jets.
