Official Texans @ Cowboys Fake Game Thread, 9/1/2016

Manz is a more experienced NFL center than Martin ever was. I'm more concerned about Newts play at RT and the uncertainty about Duane Browns return at LT than I am about the current center position. It's protection by our offensive tackles vs the edge rush that really worries me.

C'mon 4-0. Let's go for the sweep! Yes, they're "meaningless" games but beating the Cowboys *never* gets old, even if it is at tiddly-winks.

Weeden blowing his Cowboys backup (re)audition. Oh...and WTF is Savage doing trying to make a tackle on a turnover?!?! Dude, they put you on IR last year for a hangnail. This is your chance to be the primary backup! Don't get hurt, dummy!!!

Texans need a jersey refresh. That red band around the collar needs to go. Sooo early 2000's! As long as they're not stupid like JAX or Tampa's I wouldn't mind a complete uniform overhaul. Ugh...preseason GM4 discussion

Really nice play, Weeden to Mumph for 64 yards and the TD.

33 seconds to go in the half.

Texans 14, Cowboys 7

Weeden and Savage in total control. They're not exactly playing the '85 Bears but still.
