Houston Texans Pre-Season 2015 - Hoyer's The Starter....By GAWD KING!!!

Since they chose clowney over a QB they need to trade his *** as soon as hes healthy for 2 players. Dude doesnt wana be in the NFL.
 
I don't think this game could've gone any better :lol: :lol: besides 2 stalled drives, and Andre's strip, everything you could imagine right happened. Defense getting after the QB(s), excellent WR game, fairly good running game to open up the passing game, the secondary making plays, and fantastic QB play. It was so weird :lol: It sure would be nice to be 8 & 4 at this point though instead of 6-6. If you have playoff goals, the Texans basically need to win out and have a hoard of teams lose. It's possible, but shhhhhh....idk. I'll just enjoy this game for what it's worth, and pay attention to the other AFC teams.

Well if you want exact odds, according to ESPN, 10-1, which is in front of Brady, but behind Rodgers, Luck, and I THINK Manning



Shout out to Rolle, Simon, Morris, and Tarpinian. Those dudes practically rolled from under a bridge and have played very well :lol:

Jadeveon Clowney's rookie season is finished.

The Texans placed the outside linebacker on injured reserve Thursday because of a knee injury.

"He will have surgery on his right knee," head coach Bill O'Brien said. "We think it's in the best interests of JD, and our team right now, to do that."

The first overall pick played in four games this season, logging three tackles for loss and seven total tackles. Since being drafted in early May, the former South Carolina Gamecock underwent June surgery for a sports hernia, missed a pair of preseason games because of a concussion, and had knee surgery in early September after suffering an injury in Week 1.

"As soon as he is able to, he will start rehabbing his knee," O'Brien said. "He will rehab very hard and he'll be back at some point in the near future."

Clowney came back from the Week 1 knee injury in the Week 8 win at Tennessee, but didn't play the following week against Philadelphia because of soreness. He started the next two games against Cleveland and Cincinnati, but was out for last Sunday's contest against the Titans at home.

Defensive coordinator Romeo Crennel stressed that the outside linebackers in lieu of Clowney will have to continue to contribute. Crennel also said the move to IR is unfortunate, but necessary.

"That's all we can do, is hope that he can get healthy," Crennel said. "Because when he's healthy, we know what he's capable of."

Whitney Mercilus has started in Clowney's place while the rookie missed eight games. Mercilus has four sacks, seven tackles for loss and 10 quarterback hits this season.
 
Good comeback win, but the Browns choking did us no favors. Haven't won in Indy ever and that could all but be the season, depending on how other teams finish. Well well well, let's see what happens.

Watt & Foster did what they normally do :pimp: the defense (eventually) got after Bortles, and it was great to see all that pressure. That Swearinger pick got the ball rolling, even if he was missing tackles and making PIs before that. Andre going out :smh: we'll need him next week, and we'll need Hopkins to wake up.

Tim Jamison was placed on injured reserve a couple days ago, which sucks cause he's always been a reliable rotational player. Looks like Keith Browner got the call up from the practice squad. Also, ya'll probably just saw that Andre is inactive. Hadn't been cleared for that concussion protocol test yet, so he'll more than likely play next week. Dammit :smh:. I had heard BOB mention earlier in the week that Posey would possibly be active, and now that should be official.


*Here are Five Things to Watch when the Texans square off against the Colts on Sunday in Indianapolis.

1. Foster, Foster and more Foster: Arian Foster has been exceptional in his career against the

Colts. In six games where he's registered a carry, the sixth-year pro has averaged 143.5 yards on 22 carries. He's scored eight touchdowns in those six contests. But the Texans are just 2-4.

At Indianapolis, he's averaged 6.6 yards a carry and tallied 102, 158 and 96 yards in three games there. Yet the Texans remain winless in the Circle City. Nevertheless, expect the man who's scored a touchdown in seven straight 2014 games to get the ball, and get it a lot, on Sunday.

"Arian Foster has done well for us consistently in his career," quarterbacks coach George Godsey

said. "He’s a pretty dependable player really every game, so we expect a lot out of Arian and he’s performed for us. A lot of those times when we are not throwing the football, it ends up being in Arian’s hands, which from a coaching standpoint, we feel really comfortable in.”

Foster's tallied 1,028 rushing yards this season, and has cracked the century mark on the ground in seven games in 2014. If he's able to do what he does best, the time of possession mark will likely be in the Texans' favor. That's imperative, according to quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick, because of how explosive the Colts are on offense.

"It just puts that much more of an emphasis for us on the third downs, the touchdowns in the red area, and the time of possession," Fitzpatrick said. "All that stuff is magnified in a game like this because of how explosive they are."

2. No thank you, T.Y.: As effective as Foster's been against the Colts, so too has receiver T.Y. Hilton

against Houston. In Week 6 at NRG Stadium, he eviscerated the Texans for 223 yards on nine catches, and one of those was a touchdown. In five career games against Houston, he's averaged 122.2 yards per game and 19.7 yards per reception. He's also scored six times. Hilton has the Texans' full attention, and they know he'll be a challenge.

"There’s a reason why you throw the ball to the guy 19 times in one game," head coach Bill O'Brien said. "This guy is an excellent football player. He’s fast, he’s quick, he’s got good hands, he’s tough, he makes diving catches, he makes downfield catches, short catches, intermediate catches."

Hilton, as O'Brien described, can do it all. The head coach explained what must be done to stop him.

“You have to mix up how you defend him," O'Brien said. "Obviously you have to press him at the line

of scrimmage, but when you do that, he’s very quick. He’s hard to press, so you’ve got to mix in some different looks where you’re playing him from off-coverage."

So far this season, Hilton has 1,295 receiving yards on 78 catches. He's scored seven times.

"He’s a guy that’s put the hard work in and he plays every play," cornerback Johnathan Joseph said. "You know, he never gives up on a play. Whether a guy has him uncovered, he uncovers on a play and still finds the open spots and open windows. He has the ability to take the top off the coverage.”

3. Magic number?: When the Texans have limited an opponent to 19 points or less, they win.


But the Colts have scored 20 or more points in every game this year, and they average better than 31 points per game.

Quarterback Andrew Luck leads the NFL in passing with 4,305 yards this season. He's engineered 12 fourth quarter game-winning drives in his career and has the Indianapolis offense humming nicely. Pressuring him, according to linebacker Brian Cushing, is of paramount importance.

"Can’t let him sit back there all day because he’s that good," Cushing said. "He’s that good where he can just pick you apart. Sit back there, a very strong guy and you’ve got to kind of get people in his face and off of his plan.”

Luck's ability to escape, as well, is something the Texans must limit. Defensive end J.J. Watt said the Texans must keep the former Stratford Spartan in the pocket.

“You need to keep great pass rush lane integrity," Watt said. "Our guys know and understand what the situation is and we need to make sure we keep him contained. You do a great job with coverage down the field, but I mean it all starts with just doing your job."

4. Receiving options: Whether or not Andre Johnson plays is a big question. He was concussed last Sunday at Jacksonville, and O'Brien said the Pro Bowler's been going through the concussion protocol.


DeAndre Hopkins leads the team with 1,090 receiving yards. Johnson has 737 yards. 11 other Texans have combined for 1,036 receiving yards. Wide receiver DeVier Posey has been inactive all 13 games this season, but there's a good chance that changes on Sunday.

“He knows every position, but he’s primarily an outside wide receiver," O'Brien said. "He can do some things in the slot and he can help us on certain special teams units.”

He has 242 career receiving yards on 21 catches.
5. Stay special: In the first quarter of the previous meeting between these two teams, Pat McAfee surprised the Texans by exploiting a gap in the middle of the field and squibbing a kickoff that he recovered. The score at that point was 3-0 Indianapolis. Two plays later the Colts were in the end zone. It was all part of a 24-point geyser of a first quarter for Indianapolis.

Also in that game, Griff Whalen returned a pair of punts for a 15.5 yards per return average. The Texans, meanwhile were punted to four times, and kicked off to six times. Keshawn Martin had four fair catches on those punts, and all six of the kickoffs were touchbacks.
