Official Texans vs. Broncos Thread, 08/09/2008

I am getting really excited to see the team in action. Can't wait until Saturday. Most importantly, I want to see how Brown handles the rush.

I'm hoping we see we have a very good team, but first thing want to see is the DL perform in a dominant way.

[NBT]

I'm going to be looking for that new found team speed on defense.

I am looking forward to seeing if I can get my two year old to sit through the game and yell as loud as me.

good call.

[nero THE zero]

I'm looking forward to zero injuries.

[Keith]

And along those lines, I'm looking forward to Andre Johnson in street clothes.

As for on the field, I am excited to see the battle at running back. There's something a little Domanick-like about Darius Walker to me in that it seems he's getting some run as a third down back that may be hard to take off the field.

I'm also interested to see Steve Slaton let loose and learn what Taylor is capable of post-injury. Then of course there's also Brown and Bell, if they play. Can't imagine Green gets much of anything this Saturday.

Same here. Kubiak has said that he expects to play him for the better part of a whole half. And he's gonna go up against the Brondcos Elvis Dumervil, one of the best speed-rushers coming off the edge this side of Indys Freeney.
Message to Duane Brown - don't do anything studid in your NFL debut like letting somebody by you to mash QB Schaub.

i'm probably going to focus on the new aquisitions and picks to see how they are stacking up. also chris taylor and steve slaton.
