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

[Roy P]

Earl Mitchell got a sack, so that's nice. Malcolm Shepperd, DelJuan Robinson, and Frank Okam aren't showing me much. Happily surprised by Adibi showing some 'toughness' yet, still saw him whiff on a couple of tackles. While I wasn't enthusiastic about drafting Sharpton, he looks like he can play. Casey looks good and Graham had a nice catch. I"m choosing J. Johnson over Chris Henry [yet, JJ sprained his toe ]. Corcoran plays a position we don't 'need' but I'd be fine with putting him on the practice squad.

Who is Spencer Tillman? The more he talks the dumber he sounds. Connor Barwin was 'drawn offsides' by an Illegal Procedure penalty by the RT and Tillman continues to complain about how Barwin needs to 'hold his water.'

I want Booty!!!! Orlovsky going to give me an ulcer.

Dickerson on the bubble screens is on thing, but I want to see him go downfield.

Can't wait to sift through the waiver wire to see which veteran RB's are going to be waived. Laurence Maroney was talked about today on NFL Network. I would be happy if the Pats waived BenJarvis Green-Ellis. Oh, and while I'm at it, perhaps a DT that can hold the line of scrimmage, shed a block, and make a tackle. That'd be nice.

I thought perhaps the Bucs might be interested in Matt Leinart. After watching Rudy Carpenter tonight, I'm not so sure they need Leinart.

I'm not sure we shouldn't look at Leinart.......
