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

[Arky]

The Texans hit the road to complete the preseason with a "scrimmage" against Dallas on Thursday at 7pm. Game can be seen on Channel 13 (ABC).

This game is usually a last chance for bubble players to make an impression. Expect to see plenty of 2nd, 3rd and 4th team camp players and a good dose of QBs Savage and Weeden.

After this game, it's 10 more days till the season opener against the Bears @ NRG.

Dallas opened as a 1.5 pt favorite but since Dak Prescott is now the #1 (and probably won't play much if at all), the Texans are now a 3 pt favorite.

Seems there are some tough battles going on for almost every position group. So plenty to watch even though many second and third string guys will be playing.

How our Center(s) does could impact if we need to bring in another experienced Center real quick.

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
