Official Texans vs. Bucs Game Thread, 9/2/2010

[Arky]

This should be nothing but 2's, 3's and 4's tonight. Last chance for some of these guys to make a statement. I'll be looking for a few players to separate themselves from the pack to earn a coveted roster spot.

Sounds like DanO will go at least 3 quarters. It might get a little sloppy at times but it should be an entertaining game....

I want to see J.D. Booty get some snaps tonight and Jeremiah Johnson. Is Adibi going to play tonight? I want to see plenty of Troy Nolan and Shelley Smith. I would like to see James Casey have some passes thrown his way. Dorin Dickerson too should catch some passes along with Garrett Graham. I believe Tim Jamison should get a majority of snaps to prove he can pass-rush and defend the run. Has anybody seen Antwaun Molden this preseason? Nicholas Polk is one of my favorites that I want to make the team. I've heard great things about Malcolm Sheppard during camp, I'd like to see something for myself. Maybe Jesse Nading can make a play. That's all

Not that I disagree with the cutting of Bennett, but I'm surprised this stiff (Molden) outlasted him. Sure Bennett was a player in rapid decline, but at least he was a warm body.

I'm not even sure I'll watch. I can't think of a player whose performance is in this game is critical to me. Maybe if they give OD some work but I'm guessing he'll stay fastened to the bench.

I wanta watch and see how our 2nd, 3rd, 4th and maybe practrice squad guys might look . about what, 30 guys trying to fill last 5 positions, or practice squad, or get on with another team.
