Lions and Tigers and a complete lack of football
Oct 7, 2007 2007 Season, Black Salaami, Demarcus Faggins sucks, Jacoby Jones is slighty less unheralded, Jerome Mathis got hurt reading this, Preview, The Fred
Following the less-than-shocking placement of Jerome Mathis on IR, the Texans activated Harry Williams from the practice squad. Williams spent last spring in NFL Europea, and one has to imagine that he’ll immediately get some work, what with Andre Johnson out another week and all.
Clearly, however, he was activated in an effort to get Jacoby Jones back on the field as soon as possible. Jones, a former Lane College Dragon, has sworn a murderous blood oath against all former Tuskegee Golden Tigers.1 Consider yourself on notice, Harry.
In other news, potential savior of all-mankind2 Fred Bennett has been practicing enough with the first team that he will “rotate in to spell Faggins at times,” as will Fletcher. I am going to be optimistic and assume that the talk of not one, but TWO guys ready to take reps is code for Petey being on a short leash like one of those hyper, spazzed-out kids at your local mall.
The fact that Jason Taylor is pissed off by his own play thus far in 2007 frightens me. Not that I don’t have a reasonable amount of faith in the Salaami, but I could see him being abused by an angry Taylor.
Finally, if you have my cellphone number, feel free to text me updates, especially as to how Faggins is playing. I am going to be wandering around the Memphis Zoo during the game and gamecenter only tells one so much.

Well, I thought Faggins played admirably today. He certainly wasn’t the problem on offense. Bennett looked decent, but pretty much any time he looked lost, he was saved by a terrible throw by Green and/or Lemon.
We’ve got bigger worries right now though; mostly the scheme. That was a shameful display on defense today.
