That's Football...That's Life: Matt10's Houston Texans

[Matt10]

I really like your layouts. Nice job man. Jeez Minnesota is on a roll...

Yes they are, Favre-less and all.

Sweet win over the Rams, but Schaub hurt again isn't good. Maybe you shoulda kept Graham now?

Believe me, I've started to regret that decision a lot lately. It's amazing what a difference Schaub is as far as quality compared to Gradkowski. Yikes.

Runningback, Chris Johnson (elbow), has been cleared for play and will start against Jacksonville today.

Gary Kubiak on Johnson: "Chris is coming back at a time when we really need him, hope he has a solid day at the office."

Vonta Leach (starting full-back) on Johnson: "I will lead him to all the glory and rushing touchdowns against 'dem Jaguars."

Rookie full-back, Chris Ogbonnaya has been given the starting role in place of veteran, Vonta Leach.

Gary Kubiak on Ogbonnaya: "He's got a bit more pace than Leach, maybe it will spell some better runs up the middle for us. I still plan on using Leach for passing downs."

Vonta Leach on Ogbonnaya: "What the hell just happened here?."

Sick runback by Mr. Hart. Sucks you lost though.

CJ's back!

Crazy punt return with the two spins.

Yup, 6 picks, couldn't do a damn thing with it. This is what happens when our running situation escalates.

CJ out again? Damn, not a good season so far.

Nope, I'm starting to get pretty frustrated actually. As I should considering the AFC South is very tight right now. Need to find a way to pull ahead.

The injury bug is really hurting you. Hopefully the team can rally back though. Good luck down the stretch! As always great presentation

Losing CJ is a blow, Schaub, meh - he'll get injured anyways, so I'm not 100% confident in him, granted Gradkowski is not the more accurate.

Just finished Titans game. Update soon-ish.

Wow that's a lot of rushing yards to give up. Is it a slider issue or is your run defense just that bad?

Is Kubiak on the way out if you miss the playoffs?

By the way, Gradkowski's the man!

Gradkowski tore it up! another tough loss though, that sucks.

I'm not naive enough to say it's not the sliders, but the defensive line is not the strongest, DE Mario Williams is the highest rated at 92, while DTs Johnson and Okam are 81-78, and when Weaver is healthy, 80 - with Kalu at 70. I also have fatigue up a bit to kep it realistic, so the depth in general is not the greatest.

Kubiak - barring any miracle comeback into the playoffs - could definitely be on his way out.

I had no idea 'Kowski had the wheels. :racer:
