• Tuesday Morning Quarterbacking: Texans Settle Into Mediocrity

  Okay, so the Texans beat the Chicago Bears on Sunday to finish their second straight season at 8-8. That's two seasons in a row of mediocrity. Can I have a YAY TEAM! Over at the Chron, Richard Justice thinks the team is heading in the right direction and has turned the corner. He likes how Gary Kubiak gets the team mentally into the next game. Just like he got the team mentally into those games with Pittsburgh, Oakland, Baltimore, and Minnesota. (Never mind what Justice wrote earlier

  And so it begins. Looking to deflect the blame from his incompetence, Gary Kubiak lowered the boom on three of his defensive coaches today, firing defensive coordinator Richard Smith, defensive backs coach Jon Hoke, and defensive line coach Jethro Franklin.

• Some Praise For the Houston Texans (No, Really!)

  Photo by William Holtkamp Many of you out there probably think that I hate the Texans. But I don't. I just hold them to a high standard. A standard that I think everybody should apply to them. That said, I'm not here to criticize the Houston Texans today. No, I'm actually about to say some nice things. The Texans made three moves this past week that pleasantly surprised me, and they're on the verge of making what I think is another good move. Now will these moves make the team a playoff t

• The Texans' Owen Daniels, Conducting His Contract Holdout Via Facebook

  You might have heard the news today that Houston Texans tight end Owen Daniels has decided to join Texans defensive back Dunta Robinson by not reporting for "voluntary" off-season training activities today. And both are holding out for a better contract offer from the Texans.But Daniels took his hold-out that extra step today when he decided to use his Facebook page to vent his anger. Now I'm not one of Daniels' Facebook friends, so I don't have actual access to his Facebook page. Luckily for us

• 25 Key Things To Watch For In The Texans' Pre-Season Opener

  ​With the Houston Texans kicking off pre-season play tomorrow night, I thought I would throw out a list of 25 things to watch or listen for during the game.1. Does Matt Schaub make it through two series of plays without any type of injury?2. What kind of stupid catchphrase is radio voice Marc Vandermeer going to trot out this season?3. Spencer Tillman will find some way to refer to some fourth-stringer who will be among the first to be cut after the game as "great."4. Given enough time during

• Texans-Saints: New, "Improved " D Falls Flat In First Home Test

  ​Run the ball, and stop the run.It's one of the oldest clichés on what determines NFL success. But if there's much truth to it, the Texans' potential breakthrough season might already be in some trouble.With Reggie Bush out with a calf injury, the Saints (2-0) gashed the Texans (1-1) on Saturday night at Reliant Stadium for 173 rushing yards on a whopping 6.4 yards per carry, dominating Houston in every phase in a 38-14 preseason victory.Making matters more embarrassing, the Saints rushed

• Which Houston Team Has The Dumbest Front Office?

  ​Richard Justice actually had a decent blog post the other day. In it, he attempted to evaluate which of Houston's big three sports franchises was the smartest -- sorry Dynamo fans, he didn't include them because he says the team hasn't been here long enough, and I won't include them because I consider MLS to be a minor league when it comes to soccer. And for the most part, I think he got it right, but I would switch the Astros and Texans around.Without a doubt, the best run and smartest franc

• Some (Few) Good Things Emerge From Texans' Monday-Night Loss

  ​It's never truly Texans season until there's the first Matt Schaub injury scare. This year, it came before the season even started -- when the Texans' QB ran out of bounds and turned his left ankle in Monday night's 17-10 preseason loss to the Vikings.But Schaub recovered, and so did the Texans, who despite a disastrous start finally showed a few glimpses -- emphasis on "few" -- of the winning team so many expected them to be in 2009.Adrian Peterson's 75-yard romp through the Texans defense o

• 15 Things To Watch For This Texans Season, And A Prediction

  ​I can't put it off any longer. The Texans season starts on Sunday. So I guess I better get my act together and get my thoughts about the upcoming season on the record before kickoff. So here goes.1. Some good news: The offense returns many of the key players that made the offense the third best in the NFL in yards per game at 382.1.2. Some bad news: The offense returns many of the key players that made the offense reek when it came to scoring actual points as the team was only 17th in scoring

• The Fines The Texans Should Be Handing Out

  Photo by William Holtkamp​According to the Houston Chronicle, Texans defensive back Dunta Robinson was fined by the team for wearing shoes that had the words "Pay Me Rick" written on them. This was part of Robinson voicing his continued displeasure at the Texans for not paying him what he thinks he is worth. The fine, according to the Chron, is for "conduct detrimental to the team."Now if the Texans are fining people for conduct detrimental to the team, then the team should have made a lot of

• Titans 20, Texans 17: It's The Trenches, Stupid

  ​It would be easy to blame Kris Brown.It would be easy to chalk it up to an inspired homecoming performance by Vince Young. It would be easy to criticize several iffy playcalls by offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan and coach Gary Kubiak, including a decision to effectively kneel down before the final kick instead of gain additional yardage.But it wouldn't be accurate. Instead, like most of the other numerous heartbreaks in Texans history, it came down to the trenches in Monday's 20-17 loss. L

• Game Time: Stop Me If You've Heard This Before -- So The Texans Are Going To Tie The Game....

  ​There are certain teams around the NFL where having the national stage all to themselves -- say, on a Thursday night, Sunday night, or especially on Monday night -- is seen as just another day at the office. To teams like the Colts, Patriots, Giants, and a handful of others, the prime-time stage and the altered preparation schedule that goes with it are routine blips in the 16-game grind that is the NFL regular season.The Houston Texans are not one of those teams. Eight years into what is sta
