Who said Brian Braman wasn't an OLB? Making sacks, moves, running over people. Excellent.

Whoa there Nelly. Its the 2nd half of the 1st fake game.

Case Keenum leads the Texans down the field for a score - nice running by Deji Kareem, nice catches by TE Ryan Griffin....

Texans 20, Vikes 13

About 10 minutes left in the game.

I don't care where he went to college or how great a guy he is or whatever but if Keenum isn't playing with the twos next week I will be most irritated.

I believe that is going to happen. Sounded like on radio pregame that he will come in 1st next week....

Texans put together another good drive - nice running by Karim but Ray Graham (Pitt) gets the TD at the end.

Texans 27, Vikes 13

Well our 3rd team beat their 3rd team pretty good in second half practice.

Practice with Miami next week.

Hard to evaluate with broad streaks of purple crap taking up most of the screen but it is best never to put too much importance on the first exhibition game. Nice to get the win though.

We didn't get AP and they didn't get Foster or AJ. Can't really project this type of thing into the regular season. Kubes is pretty good about winning in the fake season.

Didn't hear of any significant injuries but then I was distracted by purple crap through most of it. I did not catch if they had an interview with Rick Smith as they typically do in the second half. His comments are usually one of the most important things of the broadcast because the people he singles out are usually guys who are going to stick.
