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.

Final score:

Texans 28, Cowboys 17

I think they gotta keep Akeem Hunt active..... Nelson, Hilliard and Wendall Williams to the PS...

First time the Texans have had a 4-0 preseason. The winning formula is to have competent backup quarterbacking.

Surprised we did not see Grimes... I guess his spot is safe? Blue's too? Hmm. Akeem Hunt ought to only be on the bubble for suspect pass pro/blitz pickup. Otherwise, he has the sort of offensive juice you pay guys like Lamar Miller to have. If the Texans don't keep him on the final 53, I will be very disappointed.

Weeden is a bit of a luxury as a third string. The Texans have suffered terrible luck keeping QBs healthy to the point it feels like three won't ever be enough, but really two should suffice in most seasons. For Weeden's sake, I kinda hope they find a trade for him seeing how several teams lack a better option as a #2. Plus, it frees up a roster spot for an extra OL on waivers...
