AFC Playbook

[Big Texas]

Finally we got some national coverage. Not only did Shaub, Slaton, and AJ get the spotlight, but props were given to our D, specifically Cushing.

Now, maybe I'm a little rusty or something, but last I checked Demeco was still our Mike, Cushing was the Sam, and Diles was the Will. Why did Solomon Wilcox refer to Cushing as the great middle linebacker for the Texans.

Of course, mistakes are common. But come on, AFC playbook is a show that requires hours of due diligence to analyze the upcoming game. So...
He could've simply went to NFL.com to fix that.

I know, I know, I'm being picky, but come on your show is about analyzing film.

Solomon WILCOTS may have just been in a hurry and made a slip. However, on the particular play that he was breaking down, I believe Cushing was pointed out as being the MIKE. That has to do with how the blocking will slide. Perhaps you've seen a QB walk up to the C and point out a player and say "56 is the MIKE"?

I understand how the QB can call out the Mike. I actually used the term Mike. But that was not the reference he used it in. He really called him the "middle linebacker" for the Houston Texans. Believe me, I do know that it is petty, it was just interesting to me, because we are finally starting to get some positive national attention. It has not been uncommon for national analyst to jack up names and positions with the Texans.

But I guess I can give him the benefit of a doubt; until recently we have not had much to be recognized for.

Until recently we had been so unoticed you'd have thought we were transparant.

We all know what the cure for that is......

Regarding the pub, in all honesty, you can call him my grandpa, grandma, cousin, brother, uncle...whatever as long as that kid keeps making plays.

It wasn't Solomon it was Sterling Sharpe. And the week before on AFC playbook he or Brian Baldinger said Arizona ran all over our defense and then showed a clip of MJD breaking a long run. What?
