Official Texans vs. 49ers Fake Game Thread, 8/18/2012
 

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?

For about two games, yes.

I nominate this thread as the game thread for the night.....
