It's F'ing Houston week!

I just watch NFL Network's Playbook. Sharpe, Baldinger, and even Joey T(!) picked the Texans.

Can you believe Joey T?....Traitor

One of the Texans weak spots in my opinion, their OLine, talk about beating Indy and having to prepare for us.

Well, Emmit Smith prolly thinks we will get caroused and debacled in this game but I think the Texans running game is not going to have two huge weeks in a row and I think Matt Schaub will find his butt in the dirt fairly often. I bet Orakpos name get called a lot in this game.
27-13 Skins!

Its interesting, who ever picks the Skins to win among these 'experts' has us winning by like a TD or less.

But whoever picks the Texans to beat us has them winning by 14 or more.
Conclusion: we'll just have to find out for ourselves

Welcome to the board, Alvin Walton. I loved you as a player.

I hope you are correct about the game.

Pressure Schaub up the middle, he's not capable of making plays with his feet like Romo. Rotate our zone coverages towards Johnson and run to Foster when he touches, gang tackle and get some hits on him early. Don't let Foster get off, make Schaub beat us with the pass and pressure.

Emmit Smith is going to be any and everything anti Redskins. I can't say it's not understandable. In the case of Brian Baldinger, he's made his case against McNabb so I understand where he's coming from also.

[Alvin Walton]

Well I suppose I spilled a little kool-aid on the score but I'm thinking McNabb gets it going tomorrow and the defense will continue to impress.

[artmonkforhallofamein07]

How about the fact that Kyle S may be able to give us a little bit of an edge?

We have home field, a defense, and DMac is going to get rolling this weekend.

Skins win 24-17. A houston running back will fumble and we will get 4 sacks.

[Alvin Walton]

I loved me too. Especially when I was debacling John Elway in the super Bowl.

News & Notes: Orakpo Wants Texans to Take a Pass

Rak grew up an Oilers fan. Heh, I'm pretty sure Houstonians hate Dallas(google 'houston fans hate dallas').

[Alvin Walton]

Orakpo grew up in Houston and from 2001-04 he played football for Lamar High School in the city. Lamar’s team name was the “Redskins.”

“My high school coach told me, ‘Once you’re a Redskin, you’re always a Redskin,’” Orakpo said.

I didnt know that.
Excellent!

It doesn't surprise me that analysts are picking the Texans. They looked good in week one. But remember, they've built their team around beating the Colts. They can air it out, but can they grind it? That's what I'm looking forward to seeing.

As for our offense, it's hard to say if we looked mediocre because Dallas is good or if we're just not in tune yet. We'll see.

The Texans had over 250 yards rushing last week. I'd say they can grind it.
