The Texans do have a really good Offensive. 4-12 is a little harsh.

Maverick2299 08-20-2011 09:03 PM

They were 3rd in total O, 4th in passing, 7th in rushing in 2010 Thats pretty good

3rd total O, 1st in passing, 30 in rushing in 2009.

Not to worry too much. I'm thinking that the stinkage of this game can be attributed to:
1.) Payton's stubborness to prove that someone besides Pierre can successfully run a screen pass
2.) Payton is trying things he normally wouldn't in a typical game plan, just to check some things out (i.e.; bad screens)
3.) Payton is not tipping his hand - offensively or defensively - to this very good Texan team, mainly because we have to play them for real later on

I'm thinking that Payton, Brees, Vilma, and Jenkins will have this team ready to go come Lambeau time.

12-4
NFC Championship returns to the Superdome in January

Yep, it's called pre-season. Happens every year...:bng:

I said 12-4 at the beginning of the year, but after watching our D get shred by both Texas RB's & Jabari Greer get torched on just about every passing play.........I'm beginning to wonder. It really made me think of Fred Thomas & Jason David. Ughhh!!!!!! We need Porter back & Robinson making a push to start opposite of him at CB.

I am going to give Greer a wee bit of a pass..... he is covering Andre Johnson....a top 3 WR. But he can get better.

He is also leading the team in tackles with 6

gandhi1007 08-20-2011 09:38 PM

He's also leading the team in missed tackles with about 12.

Maverick2299 08-20-2011 09:48 PM

what does that say about the rest of the team, if he is having to make all the tackles, (12 misses? maybe), 6 hits (total 18) With only 31 plays 1st team D.
The other first starter D's racked up a total of 18 tackles. Total with Greer (24)

I would argue Oliver got beat more, he blew the coverage on the deep pass to Andre, he missed the open field tackle on the RB who scored a TD early on.

Greer did blow a tackle on the goal line...I will give you that.

But the entire team missed tackles.
