    Brian Cushing Out For Year

    ACL tear. Tough blow.

    HOUSTON -- Linebacker Brian Cushing is out for the season with a torn left knee ligament, leaving the unbeaten Houston Texans without their top tackler and one of their emotional leaders.

    Cushing was hurt in the second quarter of the Texans' 23-17 win over the New York Jets on a low block by guard Matt Slauson. Cushing walked off the field on his own, but didn't return.

      That is a tough break, but we are also talking about a Texans team that is extremely deep at linebacker. They were able to let both Mario Williams and Demeco Ryans walk in the off-season, and if anything, the defense and linebackers have improved. Cushing wll be missed, no doubt about that, but the defense will still keep going for Houston.

              Could move Barwin over and start Mercilus, or wait until they get Daryl Sharpton back.

                  IMO, Cushing's career = David Boston's career

                      It doesn't matter. They dont even need to start someone in place of him. Just make sure JJ Watt never leaves the field and they'll be fine.

                          Cushing was injured on a dirty play.

                                      If he has any effect on his team as Ray Lewis has on the Ravens defense as far as being a leader, then its a HUGE loss. He seems to be one of those players that makes everyone around him play better just being on the field in itself.
