Wish we had Duane for this game, but screw it. Don't let them get a pass rush going. Pick spots to throw, run the ball, wouldn't mind using Slaton in the screen game. Let's do it.

Butler is about the same as Brown in pass pro, IMO. He is a little less in the run blocking. Not a big drop off with him in the game. Wish we could figure a way to get Butler Brown and Winston on the field together after the suspension is over.

So you're saying that Butler is one of our 5 best Olineman ?
On todays game, I expect to see both AJ & Mario on the field but dunno how effective each will be ? At this point they are probably 2 of our 3 MVPs, so their health is a big issue.

Notice there were no running plays the first drive.

KC starts the game with a botched onside KO attempt. Indy gets down near the goalline but settles for three. Buffalo takes the early 7-0 lead on Jackassville.

Fortunate bounce for the Giants. Texans O needs to move the ball.

[Big Texas]

Teams are starting to catch on to those short slants. Early on this DLine is really getting a jump on them...

[Arky]

Manning's pass good for 8. 2nd and 2 coming up.

Pass to Boss good for 19. 1st down.

Bradshaw changes field for 23 yards.

Pass goes for 6. 2nd and 4 coming up. Ball at the Texan 28.

Bradshaw gets about 3. Brings up 3rd and 1.

Bradshaw gets about 5 and the 1st down. Ball at the Texan 21.

Screen to Nicks gets 15. Ball at the Texan 6, 1st and goal.

Flat pass to Nicks good for the TD.

Giants 7, Texans 0

Our rushing offense will be a key this weekend, so lets hope and pray that Foster dosen't miss any meetings.
LT sub Butler seemed to play a pretty descent game in Oakland, hope he keeps it up. On the subject of the Oline, guess the Texans are still platooning/rotating Brisiel & Caldwell @ RG ? Isn't this pretty unusual at this point of the season and is it possibly counter-productive to not settle on one guy and go with him as the unquestioned first-stringer ?

[NBT]

The Giants will put up a fierce passrush on D and come out with a quick pass 3 step drop ala Dallas on offense, until we prove we can overcome that gameplan. Our answer should be a big dose of Foster running the ball. Hopefully our WRs and TEs will be more healthy for this game so we can become multidimensional.

Heard a report that AJ practiced full speed today and JJ won't practice full speed till Friday. About what I expected to hear.

As long as we don't commit stupid turnovers and penalties on offense, I guess we will do well against Giants, but likely be a close game again.

And maybe we get some big plays on special teams, that would be good to see.

Go Texans!

The NFL Total Access said he didn't practice at all????

ESPN's Rachel Nichols (why does she report like she's a kindergarten teacher?) who is at Reliant just reported that AJ and Mario will play today.

Eheh, true. I can't believe NFL Network has Deion Sanders and Michael Irvin on the same panel. Man, that's a lot of ego for the average viewer to handle....
