Yes, I'd say surprises-of-the-game were:

Braman LB
Friday LB
Adibi LB
Jean WR
Ogbannaya RB

Did I leave anyone out? Yates wasn't too bad considering his 1st NFL game...

Admit it. You expected the Texans to choke at the end. I know I did. And if that was Santonio Holmes instead of that scrub who had an easy touchdown at the end, the headlines would have read "Same old Texans".

We do seem to have a lot of guys who can rush the passer suddenly and maybe they'll finally get to Peyton Manning but if they leave Dallas Clark as open as the Jets TEs were, it will be the same old story.

Let's see what happens when the starters are left in.

True, but if Holmes was in, Joseph would have been in. I'll take that match-up.

1st Preseason game is what it is. A little rusty at times, but decent effort, and some possible diamonds in the rough.

I'm cautiously encouraged by tonights effort.

Well, we couldn't wrap up for a few more sacks and they couldn't catch. Sounds about even to me....
