1. Do not give up the big play.
Chris Johnson is probably going to get his. I just don’t see any team stopping him right now, but he can be contained. When these teams last met, CJ went bananas on three long scores, but one of those plays was a fluke (when he went [...]

Our trade deadline is November 27. I know there’s a couple of guys who are looking to make some deals before the deadline hits.
Allen - go ahead and repost your trade offer in the comments below. I might have to jump in the trade mix yet again, now that I’ve lost Ronnie Brown [...]
Guest entry: Kyle weighs in on Texans vs. Titans

[EDITOR'S NOTE] Kyle has some thoughts on the upcoming MNF matchup between the Texans and Titans, and I thought it deserved to be put up as a guest entry. Thanks to Kyle for contributing again - and as always, the door is eternally open for anyone who wants to submit a guest entry to be [...]
RB situation still unsettled - Foster promoted

Houston Diehards

The Texans promoted RB Arian Foster to the active roster today, waiving DE Jesse Nading, who should end up back on the practice squad when he clears waivers.
Foster will probably see some time on special teams, but clearly Gary Kubiak is still on the prowl for a running back who runs...
Just a week from now, it’s on. It’s SO on.

Oh, hell yes.
It doesn’t take anything for me to get pumped for a Texans game. Now, make that game a contest against the Titans, and I become sort of, well… embarrassingly rabid. Put that on the grand national stage of Monday Night Football, and I become - I have no idea...
Bud Adams keeps it classy. What’d you expect?

Here’s our old friend in Nashville, celebrating in I guess the only way he knows how.
Let me just say this though - to me, this is a non-story. Of all the evils he’s committed, all the horrible, horrible things he’s done - this is not even a blip on the radar. So what, [...]
My top 5 favorite moments from this season

…with a little help from this thread over at Texans Talk:
5. Jacoby Jones takes a punt all the way against Oakland. Oakland @ Houston.
If not for a few silly penalties, Jacoby Jones would be a lock for the Pro Bowl as a return man. Maybe not from the fan vote, but certainly from [...]

How about some discussion about how some of our recent trades have worked out?
My starting lineup is literally different at EVERY position from what it was three weeks ago. The first week after the trade was a disaster, but this past week my guys all did really well.
I thought maybe it was a [...]
Conflicting reports on Houston’s interest in L.J.

Houston Diehards

Ah, Twitter. It is both the best and worst thing that’s happened to sports reporting in quite a while.
First, from the Twitter page of ESPN’s Adam Schefter (at about 4PM central time today):
And now we start eliminating LJ landing spots: No more Houston - Gary Kubiak’...
For the love of God, say NO to Larry Johnson
12 days ago by
Houston Diehards
| Comments
RB Larry Johnson got his way and was put on waivers by the Kansas City Chiefs today. For two seasons (2005-2006) he looked like the next Earl Campbell. It turns out he’s not the next Earl Campbell. It turns out, he’s a horrible human being, and he’s got very little...
Well, let’s hope this is the low point of the year

Unbelievable. You scratch and claw and fight for 59 minutes and 59 seconds, and it all comes down to a non-football player. A missed freaking field goal.
That, and the penalties. And the turnovers. And the person in the booth for the Texans whose job it is to relay to [...]

I just ran to the grocer to grab some food for the game, and something unusual happened.
I saw Texans fans.
This is a store I go to all the time, and I’ve been there in the hours leading up to gametime as well. I can honestly say that I’ve never seen anyone wearing [...]
As expected, Moats to start over Slaton
13 days ago by
Houston Diehards
| Comments
In a move that surprises nobody, Adam Schefter reported on his Twitter page this afternoon that Ryan Moats will start ahead of Steve Slaton. Hours later, John McClain filed this extensive report on Chron.com.
Of course, there’s no real significance in this move, other than to...
Best and worst of the first half - Defense

Houston Diehards

Biggest surprise - Bernard Pollard.
Pollard has made an incredible difference since he was inserted into the starting lineup in week 4. Of course, it’s not just because of him - but it’s hard to ignore that his incredible run support immediately paid huge dividends. Mike...

Through the first two seasons of this blog’s existence, I’ve done a mid-season report card. I might get around to that before the game Sunday, but for now I’d rather come at it this way. Feel free to insert your choices (and suggest new categories) in the comments...
Gameplan implications of today’s roster moves

It’s Wednesday, and Owen Daniels is still out for the season. I’m still waiting for the news that he’s actually okay, will be removed from Injured Reserve, and will be able to return after the bye week. Keep checking back, because I know it’s coming…

James Casey also out for a while

This will be a short one, as I’m testing my capability to make entries by phone…
In addition to the season-ending loss of TE Owen Daniels, Gary Kubiak announced today that TE James Casey is also going to miss some time due to a knee injury.
Casey will miss the Colts game...
Texans overcome mistakes, DOMINATE Bills

First, the bad news. Chron.com is reporting that TE Owen Daniels is most likely going to be out for the season with a torn knee ligament. That is a huge, huge blow to this team. It’s not something they can’t overcome, but it is a big blow. Owen benefits from the [...]
Texans looking for best mid-season record ever

The Texans are one win away from being 5-3 and having their best mid-season record ever.
It’s not going to be easy. I’m seeing a lot of blowout win predictions, and while I hope that turns out to be right - I highly doubt it. This team is finally showing signs of [...]

Mid-week Texans notes, Reggie Bust amuses

Cleaning up some small here-and-there items for the week:
The Texans released WR Darnell Jenkins on October 22nd.
Somehow, this escaped my attention. When the Texans waived DE Tim Jamison to make room on the roster for LB Jamie Winborn, they had to clear a spot for Jamison to rejoin...
Owen Daniels is not getting any cheaper

Regarding Owen Daniels’ current contract stalemate with the Texans, I feel like there are only two possible thoughts going through GM Rick Smith’s head right now.
1 - Crap. If I’d known then what I know now, I would have given Owen and his people what they wanted...

Lots of trade talk in last week’s open thread, but no trades. There are still lots of folks who need help and are willing to deal. In the interest of fairness, I’m going to adopt the policy of not putting any proposals/available players here in the main thread and save all of that [...]
Andre Johnson has a lung contusion, should play
26 days ago by
Houston Diehards
| Comments
That would explain why he was apparently coughing up blood on the sideline yesterday. When they said he had a “chest contusion,” I was confused because you don’t cough up blood from a bruise. To me, a lung contusion sounds like something pretty serious and I’...
Defense falters, but comes through in the clutch

And………….. exhale.
I’m sure nobody was surprised by the way that game ended. After playing (nearly) a complete game of great football last week, the Texans fell back to their curious habit of “A Tale of Two Halves” against the 49ers today.
