Official Texans vs. Saints Fake Game Thread, 8/20/2016

The Texans will be home playing game #2 of the preseason against the Saints on Saturday Aug 20 @ 7pm CST.

Looking to see some gains with Oz's development though he will probably be confined somewhat to short passes and dump offs...

One player that stood out in the 1st preseason game was Iowa State pickup WR Josh Lenz. Another good performance and he could really throw a monkey wrench into the crowded wide receiver competition....

Side note: Brian Hoyer was 4/14, 85 yards, 0 TD, 1 INT, 22.6 rating for the Bears last night vs. New England.

So you're saying he's already in postseason form.

I'm hoping we see enough good from Osweiler this game to feel like maybe we found a QB going forward.

Line movement suggests a lot of people backing the Saints in this one - Texans opened as a 3 pt favorite and it's now down to a "pickem" game........

Might need some more 2nd half magic from Savage to win this one....

What if Savage continues to outplay Ostrich? Would we demote Mr. $17 million? I forgot we had Savage on the roster but he was clearly the best QB we had last week.

BTW, last night Arian Foster looked like he lacked the burst he had before achilles surgery and Mario Williams looked like he lacked the motivation he had before signing that contract with Buffalo. Both are with Miami now.

So there's really action on PS games ? That's probably much more about the gamblers than the NFL fans.
Yea if Savage continues to impress more than Brock in the PS games, then that's gonna make things uncomfortable for a few people.
