Is Wade the problem? Thinking about the O-line

[JWsleep]

Sack in zona game. At least one against NE. Have to go back and check, I guess.

But Wade is NOT a great run blocker--that's actually what's weakest about, I thought.

Regardless of whether Wade is the ideal back-up right now, we have to stick with him, otherwise we would be starting from scratch. O-lineman need time to develop chemistry, and replacing Wade with Heyer puts us back at square one, and I doubt that Heyer is so much better than Wade as to neutralize the learning curve (if he is even better at all).

A little bit more time together, under Bugel's tutelage, and this patch job line will begin to at least be functional (as it has already shown the ability to be against lesser opponents). The next few games are very winnable as long as we don't make too many mistakes. So we weather the storm, then invite Randy T. back in December for the stretch run.

Got a job here at the U of H. Started in September. My wife is an artist working in NYC, so we'll be splitting some time back and forth, Brooklyn mainly in the summer, the rest in Houston.

Fortunately, people who like the Texans tend to dislike the Cowroids, so it's not a bad town. Plus, I live near a pretty awesome sports bar--stumbling distance from my house.
