Official Texans @ Titans Game Thread, 12/2/2012

Palmer sucks as an OC. He is an OK QB coach.

As they all typically do, the HC starts whacking underlings when the ship starts sinking. Munchak is trying to save his a$$ right now.

TV = CBS (channel 11 local), noon Sunday

Announcers = Kevin Harlan, Solomon Wilcots

The line = Texans by 6 to 7

(looks like I understimated the early 4.5 pt. spread.... the public is all over the Texans)

Antoine Caldwell, Bradie James, Johnathan Joseph, Derek Newton and Brooks Reed all out for Sunday's game. #Texans

Cornerback Alan Ball will be a game-time decision. Missed practice with a sore foot. #Texans

Uh.....wow.

I guess on defense we get Tim Dobbins and Shaun Cody back, so that is good.

And we get to see perhaps more of Brandon Harris at CB, seemed to do ok last week while in there.

On offense, having Tate back may help some. I guess good they kept an extra OL on the 53 man roster or that would be really thin now.

Texans inactives: CB Joseph, CB Ball, ILB James, OLB Reed, G Caldwell, G White, OT Newton

So Ball is now definitely out, that ain't good because he wasn't that bad at times vs Detroit's Johnson, and we were already thin at corner with JonJoseph
out again. Looks like we are gonna see for sure what Harris and Roc got ?

There are innumerable examples of coaching staffs at all levels making puzzling decisions about whom to play and whom to sit. A starting quarterback gets hurt and his replacement is clearly better. A running back spends the bulk of the year on the practice squad and goes on to have a HOF career. Etc. Let's hope that Brandon Harris ends up falling into this category.
