This should be a good test for both our offense and defense.
Hope to see a few guys coming back from injuries who didn't play last week.
I'm sure Oline will get plenty of people watching who is progressing.

Niners have a great front seven on defense which should test the first team offense. Their skill players don't scare me although I can see Crabtree winning some matchups.
Ought to be a good test.

Newton is getting the start at RT. I really want to see the progress of Brooks. Didn't we used to have a behemoth playing LT? Spencer, maybe?

Absolutely. They're so bad I can't even really bring myself to bitch about them. How about we get the real guys out there next week? The NFL officiating is the best among pro sports by a huge margin and this little adventure with god knows who these guys are just underscores that.
chuck
08-18-2012, 09:03 PM

Final Score:
Texans 20, Niners 9
I really like watching Martin. He's going to be a solid pick up. Nice to see Jean show up well tonight too. Posey was MIA again, and I still think will end up on IR with some random ailment..... In all honesty, I don't think our WR5 is on our roster yet. I'm thinking Holiday will be WR6 at the expense of QB3. Case to the PS in case the shit hits the fan again.
Ball will not be last years version of Allen. I wouldn't be surprised if they try another out after the cuts......
Other than that, I'm thinking the D will be more than solid.
Overall, a good effort against a quality opponent. Looking forward to next weeks dress rehearsal.

I don't know why we need another allen. I think McCain is superior to anyone we find on the streets (and especially to Ball). And then we have a 2nd rounder in Harris who must have slept with Kubiak's wife they seem so determined to keep him off the field.
Roy P
08-19-2012, 10:44 AM
Brandon Brooks has a way to go. Very dissapointed in his Holding and lack of technique...Very impressed with LeStar Jean & would like to see him on the field with AJ & Keshawn Martin. Was also happy to see James Casey play well & improve in his run blocking. T. Holliday has to make the roster now. At CB, I'm warming to B. Harris. He could overtake McCain perhaps.
HPF Bob

The best news is it seems as if there were no major injuries. I hope we can say the same about the next two games and then we're ready for the real thing.
Nconroe
08-19-2012, 04:11 PM
What to do with Posey ? 2 preseason games under the belt and not a single pass reception yet ?
I guess Posey is so good he's being saved as a secret weapon to use once regular season begins, or maybe even wait till we get into the playoffs.
Lestar and Keyshawn have looked pretty good, so not really worried about WR position this upcoming season.
OL, still not sure about.
TJ, would like to see him get more accuracy and touch on his throws, but he is maturing as a reasonable backup.
DL, anybody noticed how Krick is doing?
I went back and rewatched the game and a few things stuck out to me:
1. On the play where K Martin is interfered with, he showed me something. Instead of hopping up and down and making a throw-the-flag gesture, he just calmly looked at the ref with body language and face saying "WTF!" And he got the call. This will work a whole lot better than trying to show-up a ref... They say he's a quiet type, all business like AJ so, IMO, he's looking like a really good pick character-wise so far. I don't think we've really seen his explosiveness or game-changing ability that they talk about, yet.....
2. Early 2nd quarter, Cushing gets roughed up. From then on out, you can see him after every play: he puts his hands on his hips, looks at the ground slightly bent over and gets ready for the next play. You could tell he was hurtin'. He does this for several plays.... at one point, I think someone asked him if he was OK and you can see him nod his head. He's a tough son-of-a-gun but man, they need him for 16 games this year.
3. Dobbins has been outstanding. I want to see him on the field a lot this year.
