Some new blood makes things interesting. Pope looks good - maybe further along than Ervin....

Forget for a moment that guys from both teams who won't make their 53 each had failed fourth down attempts deep in the redzone… it was enjoyable seeing a happy Texans sideline after that goalline stand, especially Romeo Crennel. Glad he's back.

Weeden did well. The OL had some bright spots. TEs were involved. Webb is an interesting option with his feet (did I also see him playing special teams??). A few good takeaways in an otherwise forgettable first preseason game. Texans overall seemed to play with a little more heart and deserved the (albeit officially meaningless) win.

The 4 game preseason schedule is a total waste if you aren't an owner looking to sell full price tickets for pretend product.

The entire game told us we have a competent backup QB and RB. That is nice. I'd imagine you could have figured out the same thing without playing this game.

Yea I thought the rookie TE was pretty impressive, wonder if he can block ?
And how about the local kid from Alief who played his college ball at Wake Forrest ? Ejifor was a very determined edge-rusher who might end up being a
real coup for a 6th rounder ?
