I took a fall in early July and hurt my right hand pretty badly. Turned into a paw for a week and I had to do a bunch of things lefthanded. Decided I didn't *have* to shave so I grew out a beard I only shaved off about two weeks ago. I've now got a 70's retro stache and sideburns but they get trimmed a little more each day.

But none of this is important.

What matters is the Texans are 2-0, both teams being ones who did not have good passing offenses. We now fly to New Jersey to play Eli Manning and the Giants. Eli has definitely regressed the past 18 months, in part because his o-line looks terrible, but he still has some weapons to throw to. It will be our biggest test yet but not something I'm certain we can't win.

These Texans largely are not beating themselves but our secondary hasn't really been tested. When those PIs and defensive holdings return, we'll find out what the Texans are made of.
