  • steve slaton flat-out terrifies me against our d. he's fast, agile and surprisingly strong for his size. the colts' defense is built for speed and he made them look silly. i think he can return kicks, too.

    andre johnson is a monster. one of the less talked about receivers in football, but one of the best nonetheless. owen daniels is also underrated and kevin walter is the exact type of guy our corners have problems with: a big, physical receiver.

    we have to hope that schaub stays out of this game. dealing with sage rosenfels gives us a chance. he's a fellow tribesman and i normally pull for him, but he's not that great of a QB. he somehow manages to put up decent numbers, but he crumbles under pressure and makes bad decisions.

    still, houston has a lot of offensive weapons and three good defensive players. they could give us trouble.

    Slaton scares me as well....the way our LB's get swallowed up in by guards is 😉 embarrasing

  • The Browns defense is not that good and has been torched the last 3 games by the Ravens,Broncos, and even the Bills and Lynch last night despite the win. This Houston team has two big playmakers on it in Johnson and Slaton that are capable of carving up the Browns defense if given the opportunity.

  • Slaton scares me not just on the ground, but as a receiver out of the backfield.

  • One thing i feel that will happen is, they will try to sack Quinn more often ... i know i would if i were an OC for the Texans. So we must do a better job of reading blitz. Also we need to blitz more often ...

  • I think this game might to be a shootout. Houstons rush defense is terrible and their pass defense is not that good either. They do find a way to score they have a highly ranked passing offense and their rushing attack is not that bad either. If rosenfels keeps up his int prone ways it is possible we blow them out also.

    I am of course thinking on the premise of game planning taking into consideration what their weaknesses are.... RAC and company have been SO good at that this year...

  • I went straight to the last post of this thread and was going to be a tool and comment before going back to read the thread.

    What I was going to say was Slaton scares the hell out of me, but I see it was covered extensively.

    Blitz + Screen = good yards on a blitz.

    Let's hope the coaches figure out how to run a play where Harrison takes a quick screen and turns it for big yards during the blitz, then call it more then 1-3 times a game.

  • I'm not worried about Quinn's ability to handle the blitz any more than I would be with any other QB back there. And with his pocket presence and mobility, maybe a little less, at least until the MLB comes up the middle untouched, then its yard-sale for any QB.

    As far as our D goes, it ALL comes down to pressure on the QB. Bring the flippin' house, more UFO, 62-stackmonster, something besides rushing 3 and dropping into zones or simple Cover-2.
