Hey, the Texans have won three straight games. And they even had to go out in miserable weather and defeat the Packers to win last week -- you know, it's kind of shame that it snowed on Wednesday night and couldn't wait until Sunday so that Texans fans, who have been known to whine when the roof is open and the temp is hot, couldn't have experienced some real football weather. But can the Texans make it four straight? Well, if you believe some of the writers over at the Chron, the answer i
December 12, 2008Texans-Raiders: Don't Bet on Black
Lots of you don't like what I write about the Texans. You think I'm too negative. That I don't give the team proper credit. Hell, some of you have actually written that you want me to die. To which I respond, if you want homers who are always positive, go over to the Chron. I try to take a more objective view here. And in my objective view, the Texans just haven't shown me much this season. I would think more of the win over the Titans if various Titans weren't talking about how they took
December 19, 2008Tuesday Morning Quarterbacking: Hooters and Houston Texans
I'm in a Hooters in downtown Phoenix, Arizona and the Houston Texans are losing to the Oakland Raiders. And I'm the only one in the place watching the game. The requisite Redskins fans are scattered about, watching the Redskins on a majority of the TVs - really, is there any place besides Dallas that doesn't have any Redskins fans? Inexplicably, there is a large group of Minnesota Vikings fans agonizing over the game with the Falcons. And I hear the occasional Bronco or Jet fan screaming
December 23, 2008Texans Looking to Trade Sage Rosenfels to Minnesota
Photo by Mark C. AustinSage Rosenfels had that awful end in the game against the Indianapolis Colts. And Rosenfels wanted to be traded before last season. None of that should matter. Not when Matt Schaub, the Texans so-called number one quarterback, makes Tracy McGrady look like the Cal Ripken of the NBA. When the number one QB can get injured by a fly landing on his shoulder, the trading of a qualified number two quarterback for a fourth round draft choice just isn't something that should
February 24, 2009Can the Houston Texans Get Garcia In This Rosenfels Trade? Jeff Can Come, Too
Photo by gr750 NFL free agency starts today. And since the Houston Texans are trading Sage Rosenfels to the Minnesota Vikings, they find themselves in desperate need of a backup quarterback. And with Matt Schaub as the number one QB, the Texans are going to desperately need a proven backup for those games when Schaub is injured. There are several semi-prominent quarterbacks who will be available on the free agent market, and some of them might actually consider giving the Texans a shot. Kerr

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

September 4, 2008Texans Almost As Bad At Hitting Home Runs As Astros, Charity Event Reveals
Videos and photo by Craig HlavatyThe guys who get paid to do it aren't exactly tearing the cover off the ball -- the Astros currently rank 24th in the majors in home runs. So it's nice to see some fresh meat in the oddly-shaped confines of Minute Maid Park, even if it does only benefit charity and doesn't count in the more important world of actual sports. The Reliant Energy Fourth Annual Home Run Derby featured 10 Texans players swinging to benefit Boys & Girls Clubs of Great Houston. Rel
May 21, 2009Rex Grossman: Can He Become One Of the Top Five Texans QBs Ever?
The Houston Texans have signed former Chicago Bears quarterback Rex Grossman. Do a Google-news search for the move and one of the first things that comes up is this, from a fan blog: Now on to the butt of many Chicago jokes...Rex Grossman. June 12th 2009 is a day that should go down in Chicago history, the day Rex Grossman officially is not our problem anymore. On Friday the 12th of June in a move that would baffle even Al Davis, the Houston Texans signed QB Rex Grossman to compete for the back
June 15, 2009Never Depend On A QB Named "The Sex Cannon"
I stumbled over to the Texans website the other day, and after looking through things for a bit, I guess that I should buy my Super Bowl tickets because, if you listen to Texans employee Marc Vandermeer, this is an outstanding team at every position on the field. I especially like how he calls the signing of Rex "The Sex Cannon" Grossman an outstanding addition to the team.But as a friend of mine who is big into fantasy football told me, the mere thought of Grossman taking a single snap as the T
July 2, 200925 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
August 14, 2009What To Look For If You're Looking At The Texans And Saints
Photo by wackykramerIt's time for preseason game number two for the Houston Texans. This week, they're taking on the New Orleans Saints. The two teams have been practicing against each other this week, and yesterday, things got a bit heated as there were multiple fights punctuated by Saints tight end Jeremy Shockey and Texans linebacker DeMeco Ryans going at it for a bit. But this is just a preseason game, and I really wouldn't expect any of the front line players to expend much effort come S
August 21, 2009Hey Texans -- You Can't Disappoint Us If We Don't Have High Hopes
In our cover story this week, we take a look at the Houston Texans' brief-but-tangled history of breaking our hearts. A franchise that seems to begin each year riding on seemingly reasonable hopes of improvement consistently ends it with waves of disappointment.We also rounded up some predictions for the coming season; something like 10-6 seemed to be the conventional wisdom.We didn't just ask experts; we also sought guidance from politicians. With mixed results.Congressman Gene Green happily
August 26, 2009Some (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
September 1, 200915 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
September 11, 2009Playoffs? Playoffs? We Just Hope The Texans Can Win A Game
In all of three hours, the hot topic of the 2009 Texans season might have transitioned from whether they can make the playoffs to whether they can lure Bill Cowher, Mike Shanahan or Jon Gruden as head coach come January.Remember the Texans' dynamic offense? The league's third-best unit a year ago couldn't score a single point against a New York defense that ranked 16th in the league in 2008.Remember the Texans' "new and improved" defense -- the one that added first- and second-round draft pic
September 14, 2009The Fines The Texans Should Be Handing Out
Photo by William HoltkampAccording 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
September 17, 2009Texans Finally Put Two Halves Together; Defense Finds Pulse
After three weeks of the season, the Texans were on a pace to allow more total yards and more yards rushing than any team in NFL history.So who the hell are these guys? And more importantly, have the guys calling the shots figured something out?The Texans' defense pitched a third consecutive second-half shutout in Sunday's 28-17 road victory against a very good Bengals (4-2) team, stifling what was the league's leading rusher -- Cedric Benson -- in the process.The former Texas star rushed
October 19, 2009Game Time: Kick In The Junk...Wide Left
I woke up Sunday morning thinking that things had to get better. After a week that started off with a right cross from Kobe, a left hook from the Yankees, and a sucker punch in the junk from Notre Dame, I thought surely these events were just karmic balance for what was going to be the biggest win in the history of the Texans franchise.If the price I had to pay for the Texans announcing with authority their presence in Relevantville was enduring Kobe's ridiculous underbite sneer, living in a
November 9, 200925 Things About The Texans-Titans Monday Night Match-Up
For the second week in a row, it's homecoming week on Monday Night Football. This past Monday, it was the Baltimore Ravens returning to the place from which they came, Cleveland, to play the Browns. This coming Monday, the Tennessee Titans are returning to Houston to take on the Texans.With that said, here are a few things to watch for in the time leading up to, and including the game.1.
