Hopefully, that kid from Ga Tech doesn't have his break out game today. Michael Johnson fell on draft day, but has physical skills.

The Texans need to find a pass rush.

I see we've reverted back to our awful third-down defense.

....and now it's turned into points.

Freakin' LAME.

[Arky]

Benson on the sweep for about 1.

Benson for about 2. 3rd and 7.

Palmer hits Caldwell over the middle for 14. 1st down.

Benson for 3. 2nd and 7.

2nd down pass is dropped/inc.

Palmer hit Caldwell (again) for 12. 1st down and goal at the 9.

Benson cuts back on the run to take the ball into the endzone. 9 yard TD.

Texans 7, Bengals 7

[chuck]

Disgusting play by the LBs and Safeties.

[WMH]

Well....there goes the shutout.....

I noticed that, too, and I also noticed that so far Casey has yet to block anyone.

Casey just lined up in the backfield next to Schaub in the Shotgun.

[Arky]

AD brings the kickoff back to the 25.

Pass to AJ good for 12.

Deep pass to AJ goes inc. - almost INT'ed. 2nd and 10.

Slaton pushes the pile for about 4. 3rd and 6 coming up.

Dump to OD good for the 1st. Ball at the Bengals 43.

Slaton for 12.

Schaub sacked back at the 40. -9 on the play.

On 2nd and 18, screen to Slaton goes all the way! 40 yards.

Texans 14, Bengals 7

[WMH]

Slaton's got a little burst today. Me likes...me likes ALOT!

Now Daniels does it and runs out for a first down.

[WMH]

Little Shanny's brought his "A" game today.....Nice job fella's!

[TheMatrix31]

Thats what happens when you f'n use him in screen passes.

And he didn't have a blitz to deal with so he released into space underneath.

I'll tell you who CAN block, though, and that's Kevin Walter. He never fails to put a body on someone.

The interior OL looks as good as I've seen it in a long time.

Aww....That was just beautiful. This is the offense I've been expecting to see out of this roster.

[Arky]

Bengals bring the kickoff back to their 23.

Benson for no gain.

Dump pass to Caldwell goes for about 3. 3rd and 7 coming up.

3rd down pass goes inc. so Bengals to punt. Attaway defense!

30 yard return by JJ on the punt! Texans will takeover near midfield.

To this point 14 passes versus 7 rushes. That seems about right to me and we can see the results.

[Arky]

Slaton for 1.

Slaton for no gain or -1. 3rd and 10 coming up.

3rd down pass is blocked. Texans to punt.

Then two straight runs......Unexplainable.
