Kickoff – “First Full Day In The New Digs” Edition
Oct 30, 2008 Andre Johnson, David Anderson's Dance Party, H/T Eric, I really dig my readers, Kickoff
Underrated Greatness. Everyone’s favorite WR—and the best WR in football right now—could set two records on Sunday.
When Houston plays Minnesota on Sunday, Johnson can become the first NFL player to record five consecutive games of 130 or more receiving yards. Last week, he tied Lance Alworth and Harold Jackson with four such games in a row.
But if that weren’t enough, Johnson also can become the first NFL player with four consecutive games of at least 10 receptions, tying Brett Perriman and Reggie Wayne.
The next person who says they’d rather have TO than AJ is getting punched in the face repeatedly. Gotta beat some sense into ‘em somehow.
That’ll do, pig. Wednesday’s practice report contains a couple nuggets, most notably this one:
During their four-game home stand, the Texans played some of the best football the organization has to offer. They enter the week with the fourth-ranked offense in the NFL, 11th in rushing (118.4) and fifth in passing (253.1).
Reeeeeportiiiiiing forrrrrr duuuurrrrrrrrrrty. Conan O’Brien took time out to acknowledge David Anderson’s TD dance and give some pointers on how to do it right. (h/t Jakob).
Finally.

Your commitment to scantily clad women makes this the best profanity laced Texans blog to recently change format and maintain a photo essay on Richard Justice in aaaalllllllll the interwebs. Keep up the good work guys!

By the way, Andre Johnson is so awesome that he can become the first guy with four consecutive games with 10 receptions AND tie two guys in the process. Such is his greatness.

@Vega: After you pointed that out, I doubled-checked the article. Turns out, it’s just written like shit. The tie is among guys with THREE such games.

And the scantily-clad women are (usually) football related, so that’s how I justify it.

@stacy: It will save you time in the future if you just point out the moments where Matt is NOT a slacker.
