http://www.yardbarker.com/rss/player/1266 Recent articles about Kevin Bentley en-us How do you even begin to describe what we saw yesterday in Nashville? While I realize that some of the bolder among us might have called a win (not me, of course; I thought we were doomed), yesterday was a game that the Texans historically do not win. Going on the road against a playoff team/divisional rival is generally a recipe for disaster (see, e.g., the lifetime records at Indianapolis and Tennessee). Prior to the game, if someone had told me that Chris Johnson was going to rush for ...

Not a huge shocker, in my opinion. He also said that Kevin Walter has been upgraded to a game time decision and Eugene Wilson will not play. Nick Ferguson will start at Safety. Also, team captains were named today: Offense: Matt Schaub, Andre Johnson Defense: Mario Williams, DeMeco Ryans Special Teams: Kris Brown, Kevin Bentley Fri, 11 Sep 2009 15:19:00 -0500 http://www.yardbarker.com/nfl/article_external/Dunta_Robinson_Will_Start_Sunday_amp_Team_Captains_Named/1179101 http://www.yardbarker.com/nfl/article_external/Dunta_Robinson_Will_Start_Sunday_amp_Team_Captains_Named/1179101 http://www.yardbarker.com/nfl/article_external/Dunta_Robinson_Will_Start_Sunday_amp_Team_Captains_Named/1179101 http://www.yardbarker.com/media/c/e/ce1ec4c7597a30a2fa237fc9cab7083303229de8/small/Houston_Texans_2008_eadc.jpg The Tampa Bay Buccaneers got a glimpse of the future and some of it was pretty good as the Joshes - Josh Freeman and Josh Johnson - led the Greg Olsen Buccaneer offense against the Houston Texans. Tampa Bay and Houston both played 2nd and 3rd team players the majority of the way. The number one defense played one series to begin the game and it made an impact, forcing a fumble by Texans TE Anthony Hill. Unfortunately, Josh Freeman's first pass was a little off the mark and was picked of...

DeMeco isn't playing to his normal level. The suspected cause is an ankle injury, but no one knows because DeMeco refuses to go on the Injury Report. Zac Diles broke his leg when he kicked himself while running at half speed during special teams practice. Matt Schaub injured his MCL and is expected to be out for up to Four (4) weeks. Ahman Green, after proving that he still has some gas...

Anyone could throw out Andre Johnson's name into "Team MVP" conversations, but simply due to his recent past injuries, I don't think he'll be MVP, though he will be a powerful piece of the Offensive game plan. You could also make a case for the soon-to-be three year veteran, DeMeco Ryans. DeMeco, who was second last year in the AFC with 128 tackles, is no doubt the leader of the defense who keeps the 4-3 system worki...
