Default Official Texans @ Cowboys Fake Game Thread, 8/24/2019

The Texans head to Arlington Saturday to take on the Cowboys in a televised scrimmage. When asked how much playing time the starters will get O'Brien replied, "I think it will be similar to how we used them in the Detroit game – not much".

Game = Saturday, 8/24/2019, 6 pm, Arlington, TX

TV = ABC13

I'm in Dallas for a fantasy football draft so we're all going to the game. I've wanted to see Jerry World since it opened and a $10 preaseason ticket seemed like a nice way to do it. Hopefully a few starters play to entertain me for a quarter.

I've coached some waitresses at sports bars to go up to a group of guys holding a fantasy draft and say in a dumb blonde voice: "So, I understand your FANTASY is to own a bunch of MEN..." and watch the reaction.

As for the exhibition game, Dallas-vs-Houston used to mean something. It apparently doesn't now. The Cowboys will be in a mournful mood after team radio voice and former quarterback Babe Laufenberg's 21-year-old son passed away from leukemia this week.

In Little Rock during the game, Cowboys country here. Never thought I’d miss my buddy Spence and all his smoke through a keyholes, and yet here we are.

Only preseason but omg this is atrocious.

I fear the road MNF opener at Superdome will be a buzzkill, too.

Lots of Clowney trade rumors swirling. Losing him along with Lamar Miller does not bode well for this season’s chances.

If there were ever a welcome time for Bob's power to konk out, this would be it.

Mine too, for that matter.

And in other news, Andrew Luck is going to retire. That leaves the conference wide open for the Jags.

I guess Buford’s power really did go down again.

Pretty ragged all the way around...

I can't see anyone trading for Clowney. He can't sign an extension with anyone. Who would trade for him to have him for 1 year at $15 million in salary? And if some team would do it, then they aren't paying anything significant and we're bailing on him for next to nothing.

Honestly, I missed the first half because of issues with my landlord (not over anything that's trouble - he is building a new house on the property and looked like he needed some help with these long pipes). Once I found out the halftime score, I decided "why bother"?

I checked the "highlights" on YouTube later and it seems our o-line went through a major regression from last week or the Cowboys have resurrected their "Doomsday Defense" from yesteryear. I'm sure David Carr would have flashbacks with this line play.

At least we know the Texans will be scanning the waiver wire next weekend for a new running back. Surely somebody's 4th or 5th running back is better than anyone we have in camp.

The first series was Watson holding the ball. None of the hits he took were blocking issues. That was a total of like 4 plays.

Then the team looked awful with Webb under center. The OL looked worse than awful and looked like they were punishing Webb out of spite.

Between those things a veteran starter had his leg (career?) ruined in a meaningless preseason game. After that happened it didn't look like anyone had any interest in being out there.
