Houston, What’s the Problem?

sasilverandblack — Wed, 08 Sep 2010 18:59:24 +0000

Oh, Houston Texans… When will you fulfill your potential and actually make the playoffs? When will you finally beat the Colts, the gold standard in your division? When will you stop choking games away?

All of these questions are likely to persist this year, unless something new is in the water down in Texas. The Texans haven’t really improved their team in any significant area for this year. Matt Schaub is still their quarterback. Yes, he is a fantasy players’ dream. Andre Johnson is still their wide receiver, and an excellent one at that. They still have Steve Slaton, who vastly underachieved last year after having a breakout year prior to last season. Beyond these three cornerstones, the Texans don’t have much else. Mario Williams anchors the defense that is young and inexperienced.

This team is just average in every sense of the word. That’s the bottom line. In every defensive category they were in the middle of the pack. In addition, there are too many question marks. Who is their number two receiver? I have absolutely no idea. Can their defense sustain a good offense? And what the hell are they doing with Matt Leinart?

Time will tell how well these guys will do this year. My bet is another 9-7 year, another missed opportunity to miss the playoffs. Call me if you see something different, but my mind is made up.

Cushing denies banned substance use

GameSetMatch — Fri, 14 May 2010 17:40:13 +0000

Houston Texans linebacker Brian Cushing said Thursday he never used any banned substances even though he tested positive for a performance-enhancing drug.

Cushing was suspended for four games without pay last week for violating the NFL’s drug policy. His appeal was denied.

Cushing confirmed he tested positive for HCG, a fertility drug that is on the league’s banned substance list.

“The question of how it got into my body is still unclear,” he said. “It’s something that I’m very personally concerned about, just the fact that how it’s there and what’s going to determine it from happening again, and that’s something we’re going to have to medically investigate.”

He said that after failing the test, he was told HCG can get in your body from injecting it or because of tumors. He said this information led him to believe he had tumors. He did not say what kind of tumors.

“I personally know I’m not injecting myself with anything,” he said. “I played the whole season thinking this could not only be my last season, but my last year.”

Texans Owner: ‘Right Now I Have A Coach’

TheHockeyGuy — Thu, 03 Dec 2009 00:56:57 +0000

The Texans’ performance in their last five games will determine the fate of coach Gary Kubiak and his assistants.

Owner Bob McNair is disappointed in the 5-6 record, the three-game losing streak and their inability to win close games. He hasn’t given up on the season, and, as always, he’ll evaluate Kubiak after the season.

“Right now, I have a coach,” McNair said Tuesday. “Since I have a coach, and I haven’t made any decisions to replace my coach, I’m not even thinking about anybody else. I’m just thinking about winning this next game against Jacksonville.”

The Texans play Jacksonville, Seattle and St. Louis in their next three games. They close against Miami and New England.

“This is a critical time,” McNair said. “My true feeling is we have our best chance of developing a winning team with Gary as opposed to someone else, at this point in time. Making a change is very disruptive.

“This is a critical time. I want to see how Gary manages it. In the past, he’s managed it very well when his back’s been against the wall. I hope he will now because I think he’s very sound.

Daniels becoming favorite target for Texans

GameSetMatch — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 18:06:19 +0000

Houston wide receiver Andre Johnson leads the NFL with 634 yards receiving, but tight end Owen Daniels isn’t far behind.

Daniels leads all tight ends and is tied for 10th in the league overall with 497 yards receiving. His team-leading five touchdown receptions are proof that the fourth-year player has become key to Houston’s recent success.

Daniels’ teammates are so impressed with his play that they’ve nicknamed him “Awesome.”

“I think right now you could easily put him as one of the top tight ends in the NFL,” Johnson said. “As time goes along he’s only going to get better and better.”

The modest Daniels cringes when his nickname is brought up. He knows his production has been helped by being on the field with one of the NFL’s best receivers.

Texans LB Cushing, WR Johnson miss practice

GameSetMatch — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 18:02:10 +0000

Houston Texans linebacker Brian Cushing and wide receiver Andre Johnson both did not practice on Wednesday.

Cushing is dealing with a bothersome foot injury, but it has not kept him out of a game yet this season. The rookie out of USC has 56 tackles and one interception over seven games in 2009.

Johnson suffered a lung contusion in last Sunday’s 24-21 win over San Francisco and was listed as day-to-day with the injury.

Texans sign Winborn

GameSetMatch — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 18:42:57 +0000

The NFL’s trading deadline came and went Tuesday with, as expected, the Texans making no moves. But they did sign free-agent linebacker Jamie Winborn to their active roster. He’ll replace rookie defensive end Tim Jamison, who returns to the practice squad two games after he was first activated.

The 5-11, 230-pound Winborn was a second-round pick of the San Francisco 49ers out of Vanderbilt in 2001. He spent five seasons with the Niners, one with Jacksonville, one with Tampa Bay and the last two with Denver. He played in all 16 games for the Broncos in 2008, making 11 starts. Winborn signed with Atlanta over the offseason but was released by the Falcons in their final cut at the end of the preseason.
