Case Keenum Vying For Texans Final QB Spot

Found August 28, 2012 on GridironFans.com: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Case Keenum,  Gary Kubiak,  John Beck,  Matt Schaub,  T.J. Yates
TEAMS: Houston Texans
Gary Kubiak said Tuesday that only John Beck and rookie Case Keenum will see action at quarterback in the Texans’ final preseason game against Minnesota on Thursday night as he tries to decide whom to keep as the third QB behind Matt Schaub and T. J. Yates.

Beck will start and play the first half. Keenum will play the third and fourth quarters. The Texans have to cut their roster to 53 players on Friday.

Because Keenum is a rookie, the former University of Houston star could be released then re-signed to the team’s practice squad next week. But he’d have to clear waivers first.

Arian Foster Offers The Best Defense of Veganism … Ever

Via Midwest Sports Fans  |  August 29, 2012
As someone who spent many years as a vegetarian and who still doesn’t eat the flesh of land animals, I’ve long respected vegans, if only because I can’t imagine having the willpower to eliminate cheese from my diet. I’ve known plenty of vegans who report feeling healthier as a result of eschewing animal products. They’ve done their research and have identified vegan-friendly...

Fantasy Football Sleepers: AFC South

Via Gridiron Experts  |  August 29, 2012
Matt Schaub (QB) (ADP:98.6) Like seemingly all of the Houston skill position players, Matt Schaub is considered a risky pick due to his inability to stay healthy. Schaub was off to a fine start in 2011 before a Lis Franc injury got him in the Texans' tenth game. In 2009-2010, Schuab managed to play and start all 16 games and passed for over 4300 yards each season, finishing as...

Derek Newton wins Texans’ right tackle job

Via The Football Fan Spot  |  August 29, 2012
The Texans have had one of the best offensive lines in the league over the past few years, both in run blocking and pass protection, thanks, in large part, to their scheme and continuity. The scheme is still there, the famous Gary Kubiak zone blocking scheme brought over from Mike Shanahan and the Denver Broncos, where Kubiak was an offensive coordinator from 1995-2005, helping Shanahan...
