Official Texans vs. Jaguars Game Thread, 11/24/2013

Johnson is quick and has very good long-speed, too bad he lost his balance there. Just hang on to the ball, that's his problem.

[Arky]

5:04 left in the half.

Jags are challenging that the punt was downed at the 1 yard line....

Play stands as called. Texans ball at their 20.

--------------------------

DJ goes for 9.

DJ bust loose but trips..... still gets 29 yards.

DJ for 4.

DJ for 5. 3rd and 1 coming up.

Keenum sneaks for 2 and the 1st down. Ball at the Jag 31.

Tate for no gain.

2 minute warning.

[Big Texas]

Johnson just looks way more aggressive then Tate. I know Tate is trying to play for a contract, but he is just too injured and is doing more harm than help. Needless to say, he is not getting any help from the Oline.

[BigBull]

At this point I rather watch Matt dink and dunk than watch Keenum get his clock cleaned because he doesn't recognize the blitz.

[nunusguy]

I dunno, would the fans boo today if Schaub started the 2nd half ?

[Arky]

On 2nd and 10, Texans have a formation problem and call timeout but penalty on Texans for illegal substitution. 2nd and 10 coming up.

Keenum is sacked on the blind side. Loss of 9. 3rd and 19 coming up.

Short pass to DJ goes for 9. Texans to go for the FG.

Bullock's 49-yarder is good.

Jags 10, Texans 3

29 seconds left in the half.

This is more of a playcalling problem than a blitz recognition. Predictability on the part of Kubiak. They have only been bringing 4, maybe 5 guys.

What game are you watching? He just got dropped by a blitz he never saw because he didn't account for a guy before the snap. I don't think he has made a play from inside the pocket against the blitz in 5 weeks. He either escapes or it's game over, there is no get the ball out where it needs to go.

Like I said, we better be great running the ball, or he better improve. If not he is going to get killed.

[Arky]

Jags down the ensuing kickoff in the endzone, touchback. Jag's ball at their 20.

------------------------------

Pass to Sanders gets 6.

Time runs out.

Halftime.

Jags 10, Texans 3

Here's my point.

Do you really believe that he does not see the blitz. They are not hiding anything. The guys are all crowding the line of scrimmage.

There is clearly no one open to throw to OR the routes are not developing fast enough. Either way that can't all be placed on him.

My issue is that everyone in the league has been made aware of his blitz recognition. Was this not worked on in practice. Max protection, screen passes, draws, or quick passing. Whatever the case fix it. This is a playcalling problem.

Yes he is young and will make mistakes from time to time. But this whole debacle in not only him. I am just surprised he has not made the big mistake and thrown the pick.

[BigBull]

Did Kubiak actually make some half time adjustments?

[Arky]

So it's not all his fault, and there are other problems, and with more around him he could do more, and...

Sounds like what we said about Schaub for the last 3 years. Count me ready for a guy at QB who makes plays and covers other issues. Not just a guy who isn't "solely to blame."

But he just made a great, quick throw to AJ against the blitz, so maybe he can get better.

[BigBull]

On a good note Bullock is having another good game.

[BigBull]

Swearinger almost had a pick there.

[BigBull]

They might as well put a pink jersey on the qbs and a flag to pull for sacks.

[Arky]

The ensuing kickoff is downed in the endzone, touchback. Jag's ball at their 20.

---------------------------------

Screen to MJD goes for 13.
