The Texans Are Already Wearing Their Rose Colored Glasses

The only way that the Texans have a chance to score more than 10 points is if we let Derek Anderson suit up for them at QB.

 

The fact that the first couple of arguments they have revolve around Brian Hoyer and Ryan Mallett tells you all you need to know about the Texans this season.

Hopefully our oline can protect cam, OR J J will go yum yum yum 

If Shula were smart, we'd have some designed pass plays moving AWAY from the direction that JJW is bringing pressure from.  Cam throws pretty well on the move (remember that critical completion yesterday after he almost got sacked).  

I've never understood why Shula doesn't take more advantage of that ability with run-pass options.

But... Shula.

Kink there is that the Texans allow Watt to vary where he lines up.

Makes it tougher to adjust to him.

If we win this game it won't be pretty. I'm thinking something like 16-13 Panthers.

If we are going to win our O is going to have to find ways to stay on the field and move the chains. If our defense tires I can see us letting this one slip away in the 4th with our way too conservative play calling.

Kansas City happens to be very good.

If anyone thinks this week against the Texans is going to be easy they're doing what Panther fans tend to do.

Set themselves up for the usual season roller coaster depression/disappointment.

I hope the players don't think for 1 second they've got this. I expect a tight game into the 4th quarter.

Anyone who thinks any win with a Shula offense on one side of the ball will be "easy", they haven't been paying attention to the proven Shula track record.

The Houston Texans--That is all they could come up with?  Not "Bandits" or "Outlaws" or even "Rangers."  The Texans.  The place where the city is located.  We are all aware that one who lives in Houston is from Texas, and people who are from Texas are called "Texans" among other things.  However, I doubt 95% of the players are from Texas, so the team name is as stupid as the Buffalo Bills, where the majority of the players are probably not named Bill.  I think Nike designed a jersey that had the major zip codes of Houston sewn into the striping.  Their logo is not a Texan, however, it is a Longhorn cow or bull or something, with a star for an eye.  Probably because most Houston season ticket holders are actually Texas Longhorn fans who could not afford Dallas Cowboy tickets.  I mean, if you play in the state of Texas, keep the cows and the Stars off your helmet if you want an identity of your own.  Are not the Cowboys and their fans already "Texans"?  Was this some cheap ploy to, on paper, steal their fans?  Or did the Texans say, "Since Dallas is now America's team, let's be Texas' team!" 

Basically, they are the younger step-sibling, a product of a bad marriage and a nasty custody battle that saw the real Houston football team leave for the music city. 

I can't imagine what kind of self-esteem issues one must have to live in Texas and root for the team simply because you are not just a fan, you are also the mascot.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
