[Buckna]

Greetings to Texans fans and hope you are all well after the hurricane. I am displaced up in Maryland and about to leave to find a bar with Sunday Ticket. Here's to Schaub staying upright and healthy today!

 

[MCguidance]

I am curious to see how Slaton does, would love to move him after a decent game - just don't think that it's going to happen this week.

 

[fflnut]

Anyone watching this? Know which RB was in when Schaub was just sacked?

 

[GreedoShotFirst]

CJ3 hit the field yet?

 

[footballguy#1]

Lendale with a short TD. He is geting the bulk of the carries and doesn't look too bad.

 

[Johnny Ice]

Lendale for the TD. Love that guy.

 

[GreedoShotFirst]

was it a pick?

 

[AnonymousBob]

Is Gage playing?

 

[msommer]

Is Gage playing?

No, listed as inactive on NFL.com

 

[The Hank]

how atrocious does Schaub look -- 0-6 1 INT, are you kidding?!

 

[cutler6]

Collins: 2 rushes for 29 yds

 

[GreedoShotFirst]

any word on why Chris Johnson isn't getting the ball??

 

[Yenrub]

Very good question! I have AJ and Owen Daniels in this gameTime for Sage?

 

[GreenMachine51]

I can only guess (hope) that they are opening the game pounding away with White so that they can unleash Chris Johnson for a while once the D tightens up.

 

[footballguy#1]

He's (CJ) gotten it a few times. Lendale has gotten a couple more carries so far and probably will continue that as long as they have the lead.

 

[Routilla]

Any A. Johnson info? Has he had any targets or does Schaub just suck?

 

[Spartans346]

Johnson has three attempts so far. Two in the endzone and he drop them both.

I wouldn't say he dropped them both. The first one was an overthrow that he did well to get his hands on and the second one was partially batted away by the defender.

 

[Lauryn]

REALLY tired of andre scissorhands' act so far in this game

 

[MCguidance]

How does Slaton look? His boxscore looks encouraging.

 

[VTjkru]

Can someone explain why Tenn wasnt allowed to return that PAT INT for 2 pts? It's not like they kicked the ball and it was blocked.

 

[Johnny Ice]

Lendale TD #2

 

[GreedoShotFirst]

Lendale TD #2

and he's on my bench

 

[Walton Goggins]

Terrible Texans coaching, the long pass by Titans was out of bounds and goal line TD he didn't score. Both weren't even challenged. Horrible.

 

[Gopher State]

Lendale TD #2

some much for the C.Johnson hype

 

[Walton Goggins]

How does Slaton look? His boxscore looks encouraging.

He's about the only positive on that team so far today.

 

[cutler6]

Because the NFL Rules say you can't return a PAT try. Once the defensive gets possession the play is over.

 

[Walton Goggins]

It's incredible how some coaches are completely clueless on when to challenge a call or not. Great run by Slaton.

 

[jagbag]

Lendale TD #2

:middlefinger:

 

[Routilla]

AJ caught a pass, hoo-ray.

 

[Meat]

Lendale TD #2

4:00 left in 2nd quarter. Something tells me CJ may see more than 4 touches in total today.

 

[jon_mx]

Lendale TD #2

some much for the C.Johnson hype

Lendale got no love on this forum, but 4 TDs in three games is looking like a touchdown machine. C. Johnson won't see the endzone 4 times all year.

 

[Walton Goggins]

I am actually shocked that the Texans are only down 9 so far.

 

[ScoobyDoo]

{sigh}

 

[Walton Goggins]

Schaub looks like dog ####, missing open guys or throwing 5 feet above their hands. Ugh.

 

[jagbag]

The lack of use of CJ in this game is pissing me off.

It's the fatdale show today.

 

[Mookie Blaylock]

Looks like he belongs out there for sure. Very shifty. Super quick. A little small so let's hope Haynesworth doesn't get his hands on him.

Because the NFL Rules say you can't return a PAT try. Once the defensive gets possession the play is over.

So does the offense need to make it known that they are going for PAT or a 2-point conversion? Can they not set up in a PAT formation (kick) and fake for two points?

Problem is that they look so bad on offense in general so how much will they use him when they are going to be down double digit pts in many games? This team always seems to take one small step forward then a HUGE step backwards, don't they?

have a feeling there are a lot of concerned CJ owners in here...

 

[drew726]

Looking at the boxscore and watching slaton put up those numbers against a very tough Titans defense. Any Slaton owners considering playing him next week vs jags?

Yeah, because he's looked so awful so far this season.

Absolutely. I toyed with starting him today, but because of the tough matchup, I did not. An unproven rookie against a tough run defense...I just couldn't do it. But I like what I am seeing today, nonetheless. It bodes well for the immediate future.

 

[BigSeph]

CJ has 52 total yards at the half, I'm not too concerned.

 

[jon_mx]

CJ will get his share of touches, just no where near the endzone. He is the setup guy for White.

All I know is if one of them goes down the other is going to be very good.

Probably won't play him - but it's great for depth and trade bait

He was started today in my league. His owner has got to be smiling.

 

[Junta]

Dude only carried the ball 9 times, puts up 104 yds and a TD in 1st half against the defense uo're not supposed to be able to run against?

Runs of 50, 25, 11, 7 and the TD from the 6. C Taylor still siphoned off 4 carries but only gets 7 yds. How much longer will this be RBBC

and will A Green ever start again if Slaton stays healthy?
