Can Texans Offense Survive Without Owen Daniels?

Wed, 04 Nov 2009 13:10:29 -0500

I’ve spent a bunch of times thinking about the Houston Texans today. Mainly the injury that was suffered by their all-pro tight end Owen Daniels. This team is built around the idea that their remarkable offense will make up for the fact that they have a someone suspect defense, especially in the back end. We all saw what happened to that offense early in the season when you took away Kevin Walter. The team faltered against a Jets team that was debuting a new head coach and a new quarterback. Now, Daniels is not Kevin Walter. Daniels is an amazing player. If I was to sit here and rank tight ends, he would be in the top tier with guys like Vernon Davis and Tony Gonzalez. Can this team survive without him making him respect the deep middle of the field? Here’s whats going to happen now. Teams are going to roll their safeties over the top to double cover Andre Johnson. With Johnson double covered, Matt Schaub will have to find a new player to go to alleviate the pressure that will be put on him. I just don’t know if that player is on the Texans roster. Typically, tight end is a premium position. One that is nice to have, but not necessary if you want to be a winning team. Unless of course, your second best offensive weapon is said tight end. The Texans might be screwed.

ESPN and the Chron are reporting that OD is out for the season. No confirmation from the mothership yet. I was currently drafting a post on what the team should do after the season regarding OD, who will be an RFA, and Kevin Walter who will be a UFA, and I was thinking that the decision [...]

Yesterday's five least valuable players: JaMarcus and Friends!

Mon, 28 Sep 2009 12:02:20 -0500

Kevin Walter(notes), Wide Receiver, Houston Texans. With just over 2:00 to play, Matt Schaub(notes) found Joel Dreessen(notes) in the end zone for a score that would've tied the game at 31. Unfortunately, fellow red-clad warrior Kevin Walter was called for offensive pass interference on the play, and those six points were erased. On the next play, they give the ball to Chris Brown (instead of Steve Slaton(notes), for some reason), and Brown fumbled it away. For all intents and purpo...

I have no answers, only questions (and tears)

First, let me get these two things out of the way. 1. Yes, the “pass interference” call on Kevin Walter was terrible, but in no way, shape, or form did the referees cost this team a win today. 2. Yes, the Chris Brown fumble was costly, but what reason do we have to believe [...]

Texans week 1 inactives - and they confuse me

Sun, 13 Sep 2009 10:57:17 -0500

Inactive for game 1: WR Kevin Walter - No surprise here. In Kubiakspeak, “gametime decision” almost ALWAYS means the guy will not play. TE Anthony Hill - Er, I thought we drafted him to help us block, specifically against 3-4 teams that typically give us problems? I guess his blocking hasn’t been much better than [...]
