Official Texans @ Jets Game Thread, 11/21/2010

[HPF Bob]

Nice work by the defense holding them to three.

Walter simply can't get separation on these type of corners. I'd use Jones more often. We're going to need some big plays.

[Arky]

11:28 left in the 1st quarter.

JJ brings the kickoff back to the Texans 22.

Foster for 7. 2nd and 3 coming up.

Short dump to AJ only gets 2. 3rd and 1 coming up.

Dump to Foster gets good YAC. Ball at the Texans 46, 1st down.

Foster for -1. 2nd and 11 coming up.

Foster for maybe 1. 3rd and 10 coming up.

Foster for just 1 but flag on the play. Illegal formation Texans declined - Texans have to punt.

Leonhard brings the punt back to the Jets 16.

[Arky]

7:36 left in the 1st quarter.

Greene for a couple or 3. Makes it 2nd and 7.

Sanchez beats the blitz for big gain to Holmes - ball at the Jets 40.

Sanchez uses a timeout. 6:24 left in the 1st quarter.

[Arky]

On 1st down, Sanchez's deep pass to Edwards is just off his hands. 2nd and 10 coming up.

Greene for 1. 3rd and 9 coming up.

Pass is complete for just 4 yards so Jets will have to punt.

Punt goes out of bounds at the Texan 5.

[Arky]

5 minutes left in the 1st.

Pass to AJ too long. 2nd and 10 coming up.

Foster for about 5. 3rd and 5 coming up.

Pass to Dreessen goes to the Texan 30. 1st down.

Pass to DA gets about 3. 2nd and 7 coming up.

Schaub pressured - chunks it away. 3rd and 7 coming up.

Cromartie almost INT's. Texans have to punt.

Leonhard fair catches about the Jets 19.

[HPF Bob]

This stalemate won't last if the offense doesn't get out of their own end of the field.

[Arky]

2:43 left in the 1st.

LT for 2. Brings up 2nd and 8.

LT for about 6 but flag on the play. Offsides Texans, 5 yards, replay 2nd down. 2nd and 2.

Sack by Lewis! A DT! Makes it 3rd and 8.

3rd down pass goes inc. Jets have to punt. A Jet lineman down on the play. Injury timeout.

[HPF Bob]

I'd forgotten what a sack by a Houston DT looked like.

[Arky]

Let's move the ball, fellas.

Punt hits a Jet and will be marked at the Texan 33.

Foster slides for 5. 2nd and 5 coming up.

Foster sweeps left for big gainer - about 19 yards. Ball at the Jets 43, 1st down.

End of 1st quarter.

[chuck]

I'm encouraged by that quarter. We're getting a bit of pressure from the front four and Foster is actually able to move the ball.

[Arky]

Foster for 2. 2nd and 8 coming up. Ball at the Jets 41.

Reverse to JJ goes for nice gain. Ball at the Jets 31, 1st down.

Foster for about 6. 2nd and 4 coming up.

Foster for 1 or 2. 3rd and 3 coming up.

Dump to Foster goes to the Jet 13 and gets the 1st down.

[chuck]

That end-around ought to make Bob happy.

[Arky]

Ward for 1. 2nd and 9 coming up.

Pass to Dreessen goes to the 1! 1st and goal at the 1.

Ward loses 1. 2nd and goal at the 2.

Foster punches it in!

Texans 7, Jets 3

[HPF Bob]

Foster...Houstonian for TOUCHDOWN!

Bows to the crowd and gets booed for it.

[TheMatrix31]

Love that drive. Love it! Take a bow, Arian

[nunusguy]

Where have those guys been ?

[chuck]

That was as satisfying a drive as I have seen all year. Come on, D, let's get a stop.

I would have liked it even better if Jones hadn't tripped over himself. Could have made more yards.
