Does Kubiak let the twos and threes practice during the week? I've been watching the Texans for ten years and have never seen a squad look as bad, confused, out of synch, poorly organized and poorly coached as the team I have seen tonight.

Not that I really care that all these guys who aren't going to be playing in the league tomorrow suck, but I'd love to see something that gives me some measure of confidence that the team is drafting and signing decent players and teaching them the system in an effective manner.

Shiloh Keo is so bad I cannot believe it. What I can believe is that the Texans brain trust would draft a player like that. Hell, for all I know they're going to keep him on the team.
