Official Texans vs New Orleans Fake Game Thread, 8/20/2011

[Nconroe]

It's still preseason and we do play NO during the regular season, so likely to be a fairly routine calls game.

Sounds like the starters will be in longer this game, so we hope everyone stays healthy.

I mainly hope our team continues to compete well in all phases and not look overmatched anywhere. But it is preseason, time for learning and trying everyone out.

A few things seem to be of interest to watch out of last week -
Defense
- how will Mario progress in his position
- will we stop runs up the middle
- can we protect against the long pass
- will Braman and Nadding continue to look good at OLB
Offense
- how will we protect against lots of blitzes
- how will Tate and Arian look at RB, and Ogbonnaya continue to look
- how about Jean and other WR's
ST
- kick returners, will this improve, although likely still backups
- and will kick coverage improve
