Been breaking down game tape on this one since the schedule was announced back in April.
My body is ready.
BRING IT ON
Finally, some Texan football..... :cool:
One step closer to the real thing.
I'm OK with that!

Got a roster worked up sorted by jersey number. Get it Here (http://www.planetcasemod.com/junk/texanrosterpreseason.txt).
Right click link, "save target as" and save to your desktop or wherever...
Helps for quick lookup of unknown jersey numbers....

"Starter" Shiloh Keo with a "lookee what I found" pick.
Super Joe's specials nearly let an opening kick return though.
...the more things change, eh?

Lousy kick-off coverage, but great tip drill interception to Shiloh Keo.

Easily can see Bullock has more leg than Gingy did last year.
Texans 3-0.
Not crazy about the conservative playcalling, of course.

Lestar Jean had a nice catch in traffic, but then , anyways now both teams have a FG. Mitchell making quite a few tackles on DL.

Gotta love the block RB Dennis Johnson just made picking up a blitzer.
Not bad, rook.

Schaub was 5 for 5 on first drive. TJ first screen pass good for first down. Then two slightly high passes. Coverage on Lechlers punt was good.
Nice INT by Pleasant....
Lechler is a world class punter - going to fun watching him this year...

Nice interception throw from Cassell to Eddie Pleasant at 49 yd line after good pressure by DL. Willie Jefferson good so far.
Good run by Dennis Johnson.
Oops, Vikes score a 61-yard TD after a couple or three missed tackles.... rookie lessons in progress....
Vikes 10, Texans 3

Lechler hasn't punted yet, it's been Shapiro.
I haven't seen Charmichael do anything but be absolutely awful. Swearinger hasn't exactly been lights out, either.
TJ is going to be looking for work come September.

Some pretty crappy tackling including by Swearinger on Vikings toss and run for 61 yard TD. 10-3 vikings.
Lechler hasn't punted yet, it's been Shapiro.
Hmm, could've sworn the announcer ID'ed the first punt as Lechler... my mistake.... twas a booming punt by Mr. Shapiro...

Don't trust Myers. He doesn't have a clue.

The Watt-'-bob and steak salad look pretty good.
Oooh, that's nice. TJ bomb to Hopkins.....
10-10

Wow, what a catch by Nuke Hopkins.
ABC 13 just can't help but screw things up....:rolleyes:

Pixellated screen...."technical difficulties" message.... just happened again...
That started happening to me but I assumed it was an Internet problem. They switched to the Minnesota feed.
It's like these idiots on special teams neither practice nor know the rules. If anything they are worse than last year.

I'm on Dish. Didn't have *anything* for a short bit.
Yes, special teams = still crap.
Edit: And the technical difficulties continue...

Let's see what Keenum does. Maybe defense can do better?
Nconroe
08-09-2013, 08:59 PM
Cierre Wood doing pretty good, 7 carries, 56 yds at).
Jean making tough catches, dropped couple catchable.
Maehl dropped couple catchable for TD.
Keenum reasonble this drive. 13-13 now
chuck

Why was Wood undrafted?
Texans tie it up no thanks to the receivers....
13-13

Who said Brian Braman wasn't an OLB? Making sacks, moves, running over people. Excellent.

Whoa there Nelly. Its the 2nd half of the 1st fake game.
Case Keenum leads the Texans down the field for a score - nice running by Deji Kareem, nice catches by TE Ryan Griffin....
Texans 20, Vikes 13
About 10 minutes left in the game.

I don't care where he went to college or how great a guy he is or whatever but if Keenum isn't playing with the twos next week I will be most irritated.

I believe that is going to happen. Sounded like on radio pregame that he will come in 1st next week....
Texans put together another good drive - nice running by Karim but Ray Graham (Pitt) gets the TD at the end.
Texans 27, Vikes 13
ABC reporting they will replay and uninterrupted version of the game tomorrow night (Saturday) @ 7pm.
Final score:
Texans 27, Vikes 13

Well our 3rd team beat their 3rd team pretty good in second half practice.
Practice with Miami next week.

Hard to evaluate with broad streaks of purple crap taking up most of the screen but it is best never to put too much importance on the first exhibition game. Nice to get the win though.
We didn't get AP and they didn't get Foster or AJ. Can't really project this type of thing into the regular season. Kubes is pretty good about winning in the fake season.
Didn't hear of any significant injuries but then I was distracted by purple crap through most of it. I did not catch if they had an interview with Rick Smith as they typically do in the second half. His comments are usually one of the most important things of the broadcast because the people he singles out are usually guys who are going to stick.

Not only did ABC-13 screw the pooch on the broadcast, but it still amazes me they bring back Myers every year to cover the games. I've never seen/heard someone so inept at making game-action calls or botching player names (on the team they've covered for years!!) more so than him. Does he not prepare at all?? And Tillman isn't much better, mind you.
Not a big fan of Charlie Pallilo on talk radio, but if I were in charge of making the call on the broadcast team, I'd call him and Seth Payne immediately and ask if they're interested. If anything for the 2014 season and beyond... At least Charlie would bring accuracy and Payne would bring some player knowledge and some humor.
