Official Texans @ Bengals Game Thread, 12/11/2011

[Arky]

I'd like to see some vertical passing today. I'm looking at you TJ and JJ. OTOH, the Texans need to hold down the Bengals vertical passing....

Hoping they don't lean on Arian too much... Please, not another 30 carry game - the young man won't have anything left for January. 22-23 carries would be more like it. Use Tate more, Ward too...

[Arky]

Bengals win the toss and defer. Texans to receive.

McManis brings the kickoff back to the Texan 14-15. Texans ball.

[Arky]

Oh my, deep pass to JJ is inc... looked like he dropped it. 2nd and 10 coming up.

Pass to KW is inc, too high. 3rd and 10 coming up.

Foster for 1. Texans have to punt.

Punt is fair caught by the Bengals at their 30 yard line. Bengals ball.

I am so glad that Kubiak is going to let Yates throw the ball downfield.

Too bad he is only deep threat is Jacoby Jones...
