Texans Should Roll the Dice
I flew solo to the Prom my senior year in high school. Not because I couldn't find a date--I actually had one, but dumped her after a change of heart (sorry Lauren if you're reading this)--but rather, I just didn't find someone I really wanted to go with. I mean think about it. Proms aren't exactly cheap. So why spend a ton of money on someone you didn't really...

Benson Says No to Texans, Signs With Bengals
Free agent Cedric Benson wont be teaming up with Steve Slaton anytime soon. The former UT standout declined the Texans offer and signed a two-year deal with the Bengals.To me this reflects the type of person Benson is. He wants to be "The Guy" and that's his only goal. He knew he wouldn't be "The Guy" in Houston and that's why he split. In my opinion...

Texans Free Agency Updates: Benson Being Targeted?
The Texans are now apparently targeting RB Cedric Benson as Steve Slaton's back up. This comes after hearing news that the Texans interest in Derrick Ward was increasing. He's stayed out of trouble and he's kept his mouth shut since he signed with the Bengals during the season. That's a step in the right direction, but I'm still not a huge fan of the guy. He...

Texans Sign Ex-Lion Orlovsky as Schaub's Backup
The Texans wasted no time acquiring their second biggest need this off season: a backup quarterback. A day after locking up defensive end Antonio Smith, the Texans found Schaub's backup. After visiting with free agent Patrick Ramsey about the vacancy, the Texans decided to go a different direction by signing ex-Lions QB Dan Orlovsky to a three-year deal. I've got no complaints...

Texans Cut Weaver
The gears in the front office are already starting to spin, as starting defensive end Anthony Weaver was cut today. Weaver will join Morlon Greenwood and Ahman Green in the unemployment office as the 3rd player to be cut by the Texans who began the season as a starter.Weaver and Greenwood were both adequate starters but neither were game-changers by any means. With weaver out, the...

Rosenfels to be traded to Vikings
According to ESPN.com, the Texans and Vikings are close to a deal that would send the Texans other starting quarterback, Sage Rosenfels, to the Vikings in exchange for a 4th round draft pick.It would definitely be a shame to see Sage go, but I can't argue with GM Rick Smith's previous manuevers. In the few trades the Texans have been a part of under his control, none have...

Peyton Who? Matt Schaub's dominating AFC South QBs
Since the Texans' loss to Tennessee, my roommate has been on my back over some comments I made about Matt Schaub (something to the effect of, "If he keeps this crap up, Sage might be starting soon"). Apparently he's been under the impression that I threw Schaub under the bus and was scouting for a replacement.
Let's get one thing straight. I've liked the...

Big things were expected from the Texans when the season first began. Who would?ve known that the Texans would still be looking for their first win heading into week six? Better yet, who could?ve guessed that playing the Dolphins in...

Texans at titans: Gameday Blog
14:08 in the 1st
Schaub's looking incredibly uncomfortable in the pocket, overthrowing every pass he's attempted. I'd be mad at the 3 and out, but Jacques Reeves just caught?titans QB Kerry Collins' first pass attempt. Now they're set up on the 16 on 3rd down and....sack. Matt Schaub needs watch how far he steps into the pocket unless he wants to tangle with...

Texans at titans preview, T-Minus 30 Minutes
The Texans head to Nashville to take on the titans today and if there was ever a game to make a statement with, this would be it.
The Texans left Pittsburgh two weeks ago beat up. I'm pretty sure the pounding the Steelers administered on the Texans offense is illegal in several states. But the Texans might have caught a break with Hurricane Ike cancelling their week 2 game...

Texans to continue playing in Reliant, despite bootleg roof
The engineers and what-not have declared Reliant Stadium structurally and mechanically sound enough to host the rest of the Texans home games--despite the fact that the stadium is still missing half a roof.
Solution? Open it.?A little fresh air never killed anyone. I actually heard from a guy that football games played by Houston's professional football teams used to be?outside...
