Texans at Broncos (1 Viewer)

[Maurile Tremblay]

Go.

 

[GregR]

RT Derek Newton against Dumerville is a big matchup today. And Dumerville wins the first battle with a safety.

 

[GregR]

Texans need to stop the Denver running game with their front 7 so they can give Kareem Jackson safety help and let him play up closer than he normally does. Peyton's smart enough to hit a lot of slants and comebacks if Jackson plays off as much as he normally does.

 

[Diamond One]

Any updates? I'm stuck watching the NYJ - MIA game... You know, the one that is moving at a f-ing snail's pace...

 

[GregR]

Texans D looking good, forced a Denver punt that pinned Houston deep. Schaub sacked by Dumerville in the end zone for a safety. Broncos get the ball in good field position on the free kick, get to the 20 and kick a FG.

Houston with the ball now, picked up 2 first downs... and just hit AJ for a deep touchdown.

 

[GregR]

Andre Johnson would have amazing stats if Schaub had a better arm. He normally has to stop on deep balls and wait for the pass to get to him. On this play he got himself so open beating the safety he had plenty of time to stop and wait, make the catch, and still beat everyone to the end zone. 60 yards.

 

[GregR]

Great catch there by Decker for a big gain.

 

[GregR]

Nice job by Mitchell shedding the block, or that draw would have went for aways.

And Peyton sacked on 3rd down by Watt and Reed, plus holding called on the play.

 

[GregR]

Denver's punter pins Houston deep again. Texans with 3 false starts already, though the last only cost a yard and a half for half the distance.

Tate picks his way out to the 7, then a pass to Daniels to the 10.

 

[GregR]

Nice run blocking on the Foster first down run to the 17.

 

[GregR]

More good run blocking. Foster shifts through the hole running behind Caldwell and Newton on the right side for a big gain.

 

[GregR]

Nice play by Denver D on 1st down, DE pressure on the bootleg and Porter comes up to tackle the relief valve in the flat.

 

[GregR]

Good pass blocking on one play, then Schaub beats the blitz to Graham.

 

[GregR]

Great coverage by Champ Bailey on Andre Johnson. Schaub lucky to get rid of that one.

 

[GregR]

Schaub to Foster for a TD.

 

[TheFly06]

Texans O is clicking. Schaub taking a few hits but hanging tough.

 

[GregR]

Stat of the game so far... Broncos 1-4 on 3rd down conversions, Texans are 4-4.

 

[Ignoramus]

Great Sabol commercial.

 

[GregR]

Denver doing a pretty decent job picking up the blitzes and giving Peyton a chance to get rid of the ball.

 

[Major]

Schaub to Foster for a TD.

blows kisses to the crowd :namaste:

 

[GregR]

Great Sabol commercial.

 

[GregR]

Texans succeeding in the running game, and now the play action is there. Schaub to Kevin Walter for a 52 yard TD.

 

[GregR]

TE screen to Joel Dreessen goes for a big gain.

 

[GregR]

Nice job by Manning standing in against pressure, 23 yards to Thomas. And add Cushing's helmet hitting Peyton's for another 15. Peyton at the 8.

 

[GregR]

Nice stand by the Denver defense, stuffing a run, knocking down a pass, and then good coverage on 3rd down.

 

[GregR]

Time for a Holliday punt return TD.

 

[GregR]

Or a 2 yard punt return.

 

[GregR]

Broncos have stiffened up their run D the last two series.

 

[GregR]

Schaub had Owen Daniels open deep but the safety closed and made the stop. Then on 3rd down back to Daniels to pick up a first.

 

[GregR]

Woodyard with a great one-handed interception. Ruled as having stepped out on the return or Denver would be in FG range.

 

[GregR]

JJ Watt sacks Peyton. Watt's playing like an All Pro so far this year.

 

[GregR]

Prater FG attempt coming up.

 

[Ignoramus]

JJ Watt sacks Peyton. Watt's playing like an All Pro so far this year.

He's so good.

 

[GregR]

Prater good from 53 yards. Probably would have been good from 70+.

 

[Ignoramus]

Prater FG attempt coming up.

Would have been good from 73.

 

[Yenrub]

Any word on the Nate Irving injury?

 

[Ignoramus]

Any word on the Nate Irving injury?

Concussed. Will not return.

 

[GregR]

Any word on the Nate Irving injury?

All I caught was that he was able to walk back to the bench.It looked on the replay like he hit Holliday helmet to helmet, but then as they were going down Holliday's elbow caught him on the chin. Might have knocked him out for a bit.

 

[Ignoramus]

Was there a fair catch signal there?

 

[GregR]

Was there a fair catch signal there?

Nope, but you can't interfere with his ability to make the catch even without a fair catch signal. Hit him before the ball got there, and the ball hit the Bronco in the back.

 

[GregR]

Broncos rough the passer twice in a row. Schaub is down. 2nd one knocked his helmet off.

 

[letter_j]

Schaub just got destroyed

 

[Acrobat7]

Broncos trying to kill Schaub?!

 

[Wombat x]

Haul that in Andre! Thats the second deep ball he's had in his hands and dropped. Now he has Yates throwing to him too.

Damn that replay shows he had it but Bailey kicked it out. Real close, not really his fault.

 

[fasteddie_21]

That was a brutal hit. Ouch.

 

[lbouchard]

Mays just DESTROYED Schaub. Yates in.

ETA: Schaub back in.

 

[GregR]

May's going to see a big fine. Lowered his helmet and went head to head, no attempt to hit his body at all.

 

[Ignoramus]

I don't think that 2nd one was roughing.

Yeah, never mind. It was.

 

[FreeBaGeL]

Lost on that play is that it was actually Bailey's foot that kicked the ball out of AJ's hands in the endzone.

 

[IvanKaramazov]

That second play should not have been roughing. Schaub held onto the ball util the last second and got hit by two defenders. Nobody went after his head. I don't see why that's a penalty.
