A positive way to look at our defensive performance.

I thought it was a good 1st half. The Texans are a good team that just doesn't seem to have things going thier way.
IMO before they lost thier QB I thought they had a very good chance at going to the SB last year

Every time the camera got on Wade Phillips he had little emotions showing. He held back last night on our O. Our O looked fairly crisp but nowhere near what they are capable, Graham is a monster and Ivory looked like he should with the exception of the fumble I thought at first he got a broken neck. Our D still needs much improvement, Jordan looked real good and McBride impressed. Seems the front 4 needs to get more push but showed alot of hustle on every play, in the secondary our middle seemed open at will for big gains. All in all it was a C grade and still a long way to go on D, I did see better tackling and thats a good start but way 2 many points given up.

Our starting MLB was Jonathan Casillas.

The fact we didn't give up 60 points is a positive.

Robinson had about 5 near-picks. Most of Houston's big plays were blown assignments, which at this stage is both understandable and correctable.

I think the biggest thing was how good our second string looked. With Remi, Akiem Hicks and Barrett Ruud in, our second string D looked better than some teams starters *cough*Browns*cough*Jaguars
