Here's a statement that should scare the Texans more than the sight of another running play:á as the Texans and Raiders enter their Week Four clash, there are a number of parallels between their seasons so far. Both team enter the week at 1-2. Both team have lost a heart-breaker late. Both teams won a nail-biter with an improbable late push by their weaker unit. Both teams are looking at this week as ...

When Gary Kubiak took over as coach of the Texans in 2006, his mission was to change the mindset of a losing team. The Texans were coming off a thoroughly embarrassing 2-14 campaign and the players were understandably lacking confidence.á In his first preseason as head coach, Kubiak and the Texans went 3-1.á While preseason games rarely matter, Kubiak made them matter that year.á He celebrated the victories as a way to ...

Two games in and the Texans are 1-1, although not in the manner most expected. After falling in the opener against the Jets, the team fell behind early at Tennessee, but was able to rebound for a heart-attack inducing win. Looking out a few weeks at the schedule, most Texans fans may have reason to be optimistic. I, however, am more paranoid than most.á My paranoia does not stem from the CIA and ...

In week one, Matt Schaub looked like a high school quarterback suddenly thrust into the NFL spotlight.

So, which Matt Schaub, can we expect to see in week three against Jacksonville? Ha, trick question.  They're both the same Matt Schaub. The fact is, the failures of week one Matt Schaub were grossly overstated ...

But try telling fans of these teams the atmosphere of this afternoon's game is any less intense. The Texans-Titans rivalry hasn't even existed for a full decade, and thus far has been fairly one-sided. The conflict between fan bases, however, goes back a bit further.  In 1997, Bud Adams ...

There was a recent article here about how we shouldn't worry about Steve Slaton because one bad game does not a sophomore slump make.  For the record, I agree with all the points put forth there.  The role of a running back, however, is more than just running the ball, and it is in these other areas, that I am concerned about the Texans back. The first of these roles is ...
