Kickoff - “This ‘Winning’ thing? I like it.” Edition
Oct 27, 2008 2008 Season, Awesomeness, Boobies, Dunta Robinson, Jacoby Jones is slighty less unheralded, Kickoff
PLEASE NOTE: THE SITE IS ACTING TRAVIS-JOHNSON-LEVEL RETARDED WHEN WE TRY TO POST PICS AT THE TOP, SO THERE WON’T BE ANY FOR A BIT. ALSO, WORDPRESS CAN BLOW ME. OK…NOW IT’S JUST RANDOMLY ACTING STUPID. FUCK.
Scoreboard. Fuckin’ A, Peterman. Fuckin’. A.
Your dreams were your ticket out. Dear Cincinnati, Thanks for not keeping me. No really. To show my appreciation, suck on these two TDs. Love, Kevin.
Leader in the clubhouse. Dunta Robinson’s INT at the end of the game was more than just a “hell, yeah, Dunta’s back!” moment. It was also the franchise record 12th INT of Dunta’s career.
Finally.
Movin’ on up
Sep 10, 2008 2008 Season, David Anderson is short, Jacoby Jones is slighty less unheralded
Via rotoworld.com:
Andre’ Davis has been bypassed by David Anderson as the Texans No. 3 receiver.
Anderson works better out of the slot, so Davis will stick to backing up Andre Johnson and Kevin Walter. He’s more valuable to the Texans as a kick returner and occasional deep threat.
No source cited, but it’s not really a surprise to me, either, because of the nature of the slot position. Plus, Anderson just doesn’t drop anything while Davis, historically, was criticized because of his hands (though, to be fair, that hasn’t been an issue with us). Personally, I’d also prefer to keep Davis healthy for return duty where he is especially valuable.
Also, I think the move cements that this was Jacoby Jones’ gig to lose, and he did. I still strongly believe he has the best ceiling outside of Johnson, but his window is closing quickly.
The Houston Comicle - Still an accountability free zone
Jun 2, 2008 2008 Season, Andre Johnson, Bloggerating, Chris Taylor gets you stoned, Dancing With the 'Tards, Jacoby Jones is slighty less unheralded, Pancakes McTard, Winstonsaurus
And I’m not even talking about this.
For a while now, we’ve had to put up with the Comicle’s incessant clamoring over Chris Taylor, which has been, not surprisingly, led by Pancakes himself. After all, he is the King of the ‘Tards.
But, something funny happened on the way to OTAs. Here’s Eric Winston:
Well, I tell you what, there’s a big battle going on there. You can really tell that all those guys really want to play and they all have really good skill. And that’s good, because you want a lot of guys at that position because you never know what can happen. Sometimes, you have four there and everyone stays healthy and a guy doesn’t get to play. Then, when you’re a little thin there, then all of a sudden a rash of injuries hit. So you’ve always got to be prepared, because in our system it’s such a vital point to have a guy that can really go at that part, and with Ahman (Green) looking healthy, Chris Brown coming in and (being) just real familiar with the zone scheme, and you’ve got Steve Slaton just carrying on what he’s done from West Virginia. So I think we’ve got three different kind of backs but, at the same time, three very exciting backs.
What? No mention of Chris Taylor??? Didn’t Winston ask permission from Pancakes to leave him off???
I was just as excited as anyone after Taylor’s performance the last game of the 2006 season. However, it’s 1. not realistic that he was the reason the Texans didn’t take a RB in the 1st round, and 2. he’s not likely in the picture to play a significant role even if he makes the game day roster in the first place.
I’m not saying it’s the best decision. But, as long as Ahman Green is healthy and we are on the hook for his 2008 salary, he’s staying (we have to pay him one way or the other, so it’s almost a why the hell not? kinda thing). Chris Brown looks like he’ll get plenty of carries. Then, what do we do? Drop Slaton? At best, Taylor is #4 on the depth chart, and, even then, he’ll still have to beat Darius Walker for a spot.
That their rampant speculation is so far off base isn’t surprising, and it’s part of the problem of being an insider: the Texans staff simply don’t have to tell the truth to the Comicle writers, and they gain little, if anything, by doing so. As an outsider, there is a certain reliance that the insiders aren’t complete dumbasses and, well, we know how that’s looking. But the Comicle will never have to pay a mea culpa as long as they aren’t held accountable for their poor reporting.
(For the record, if I screw up badly at my job, my company will be in the headlines. I have to deal with accountability every day)
Chris Taylor!? YAY! The savior of the Texans running game? Not so much.
—————–
From the Texans’ All Access celebration:
“First of all, I’d like to thank all you guys for coming out. We’re really excited about this season coming up. All the guys are excited. You know, we finished 8-8 last year. If you are worried about my knee, my knee is doing fine.” - Andre Johnson
Again, I warn of reading too much into this and remind you to ask yourself, “What do you really expect him to say?” It’s good news, but let’s see how he looks in camp and, most importantly, in the pre-season.
———————
One last nugget for the day, courtesy of rotoworld.com:
Jacoby Jones has been running with the Texans’ first-team offense with Andre Johnson (arthroscopic knee surgery) sidelined.
I couldn’t be more thrilled. As exciting as Apostrophe Davis was for us last year, the fact is he’s 29 and coming off his best year since 2002, if not ever. In other words, we have seen his ceiling as a wide receiver. But, damnz, what a badass 4th WR to have (especially if Andre misses time), and what an awesome weapon to have in the return game. I still have my man-crush on Jacoby thanks to TPL from battleredblog.com, and Jacoby was awesomely impressive in the pre-season last year. He just seemed to lose his confidence after being tackled by a punter, getting injured in the process.
As we get closer to the season, Matt and I - with all of you pitching in awesome wisdom - will flesh out our team. I will tell you that I am super-excited about WR heading into 2008.
Get off my lawn!
Mar 16, 2008 2007 Draft, Beer, Grumpy Old Men, I really dig my readers, Jacoby Jones is slighty less unheralded, Jacoby Jones' beer bong
According to various sources (most notably, reader Eric who alerted us to the “rumor” at 11:30am), Jacoby Jones was arrested early this morning for driving while intoxicated.
Of course, the team has no comment until the facts come out. Which means that Gary and Co. will issue a “we’re really disappointed in Jacoby, but he has told us that he’s sorry” statement in a day or two. And that’s fine, I suppose; I mean, if this is the worst thing that our players do all offseason, we’ve gotten off light by today’s NFL standards. And, yes, JJ is only 23 and this is the type of stupid, youthful thing that 23-year-olds do frequently in the real world. I get that.
All that said, however, I would think that a punt returner/4th receiver who had a great preseason and a forgettable regular season (and who already lost half of his special teams duties to the Special Teams Ninja) would do his best to avoid doing anything stupid. I mean, we all love Jacoby (some of us to alarming degrees), but we don’t love him in the same, wouldn’t-trade-him-for-anyone way that we love DeJesus, Mario, and Andre. No, our love for Jones is of the “wow…this kid might just be something someday” variety. That’s not a hard love to forget if it goes unrequited for very long.
No, I am not saying that I am done with Jacoby. He’s not Travis Johnson or anything; I don’t hate him with the hot burning intensity of a thousand suns. I still want to believe the hype and I want him to wind up being great. More importantly, though, I want him to want to be great and to act like he wants to be great. Shape up, kid.
God, I feel old.

I know it’s been dead-ish around here. Apologies.
All should improve starting tomorrow. I think. Probably.
Until then, here are five topics to discuss:
- Has anyone ever done more in a shorter time to submarine his own trade value than Sage did at the end of the season?
- Andre Johnson–god, or mere demigod?
- If Ahman Green died in a forest, would anyone notice?
- Given that Andre Davis is a special teams ninja as well as a solid receiver, do you think Jacoby Jones admires Apostrohpe or secretly wishes him dead?
- Who weighs more: Ron Dayne or Rosie O’Donnell?
Don’t call it a comeback
Jan 28, 2008 2008 Season, Had to post something, Hydrocodone, Jacoby Jones is slighty less unheralded, Jared Zabransky, Roster, Self-Referential Stuff, Undrafted Free Agent watch list
So, I’ve been absent lately. I nearly wrote “notably absent,” but that would have been presumptuous on my part and, most likely, incorrect. We’ll just stick with “absent.”
Anyway…as I have bitched to a number of you over email or text message, I managed to catch some sort of virus last week, which filled me with roughly twenty pounds of snot. By Saturday, I was feeling better, so I allowed myself to be roped into helping someone move, which caused me to spend all day out in damp, 40-degree air. Apparently, this was a bad idea, as my doctor informed me today that I now have “severe bronchitis, a double ear infection, and tonsilitis.” Which is another way of saying I feel like I got skull-fucked by a rhinoceros.
Why am I telling all of you this? Because I like to pretend like you care. Moving on…
As has been discussed here and elsewhere, the Texans hired Ray Rhodes. There is absolutely no way this can be seen as anything but a fantastic move. Whether Rhodes is merely an assistant and is tasked with helping to improve the secondary or he is made an assistant head coach and has more oversight, the end result is that someone with a MUCH better defensive mind than Richard Smith is going to have input on the defensive side of the ball.
1Texan’s dream of a Jared Zabransky-led offense is kaput–the Sooner Killer is expected to sign with the Steelers. He’s expected to “compete to be the team’s 3rd-string quarterback.” There really isn’t anything else to be said here.
[Author's Note: The movie The Number 23 is playing in the background as I write this. I am, coincidentally enough, 23 minutes into it. Does it get to a level even approaching "decent" in the near future, or should I change channels at the top of the hour?]
Finally, it seems that Jacoby Jones is back at Lane College this semester and hopes to graduate this summer. Good for him. I hope one of his final classes focuses on not being horribly cliched and boring in Q-and-A sessions. Reading that was like watching him return punts against Tennessee–painful and awkward.
Odds and Ends
Dec 11, 2007 2006 Draft, Andre Johnson, Awesomeness, Curious Coaching, Houston Chronicle, Jacoby Jones is slighty less unheralded, Jerome Mathis got hurt reading this, Richard Justice is a talentless hack., Super Mario, The Fred, The Schaub Experiment
Random tidbits of stuff that I would normally do a full post on if this last fortnight hadn’t been ridiculously busy.
- Apparently, someone has kidnapped Richard Justice and replaced him with Pollyanna Sunshine. I replied to the old “he can’t play” email with a message that said simply “care to retract this?” I expected another smart-ass answer, or no answer at all. Instead, I received his answer two minutes after I sent my message. “Yes, I do. That was wayyyyyy wrong.” Color me shocked.
- BRB was all over this when it broke, but it appears Jerome Mathis (a) owns a number of pit bulls and (b) somehow managed to let some of them escape. Dumb? Sure. But also awesomely hilarious. Thank you, Jerome; you may not give the team anything on the field, but you just gave me an early Christmas present.
- Not to be Debbie Downer (who is Pollyanna Sunshine’s goth cousin), but how painful is that loss to Atlanta now that you see the wheels completely off down there? Seriously, your coach just up and walked away from the team during the season so he could take the job with a middle-of-the-road SEC team that’s about to lose Darren McFadden and Felix Jones? That cannot be a good sign.
- I realize I haven’t really posted anything about the win over Tampa Bay. Like a number of you, I was forced to follow on gamecast because the weather prevented me from getting a good Sirius signal in the house. My thoughts on the game, based on what I got from the live blog and what transpired on my computer screen, are as follows:
- Mario Williams is a bad, bad man. I look for him to knock Jay Cutler somewhere into the middle of next week.
- Morlon Greenwood is underrated (and I have been saying so since the preseason, thank you very much).
- Andre Johnson against regular DBs is a lot like when I play against some of the third graders I coach. The fact
- that we had to play without him for much of the year still pisses me off at Kubiak.
- Why was totally-unproven Matt Schaub the most prized backup in football, but Sage gets almost no press at all? Shouldn’t we be able to get a couple second-rounders for him?
- Will Demps is playing like a ninja. A love ninja. Really, other than gets rolled by Jamal Lewis a couple weeks ago, he’s been playing lights out. Which is really weird to say regarding any of our safeties since…um…ever.
- Fred Bennett continues to impress. Jacoby Jones continues to disappoint. Petey Faggins continues to be not playing very much. These things are good, bad, and awesome, respectively.
- I am strangely thrilled about having a Thursday night game. Which is only odd because, prior to this week, I was annoyed by the Thursday games. It’s a really cool idea (an extra night of football) that’s really poorly executed (a channel that a whole lot of people can’t get) and that gets in the way of my prognosticatin’ (because I generally do those on Friday or even Saturday). This week, though, it’s nothing but good.
- UPDATE: It was pointed out by grungedave that I failed to mention that I am the greatest football prognosticator of all time. Pay no attention to the previous week when I was awful, because I rocked a solid 15-0 last week. That’s balls, baby. Big balls.
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.
1 This may not be true.
2 This may be an overstatement.
Texans facts for your post-lunchtime reading
Oct 5, 2007 2007 Season, Injury bug, Jacoby Jones is slighty less unheralded, Jerome Mathis got hurt reading this, Matt Turk rules, The Schaub Experiment
1. Jerome Mathis is injured. This is not surprising. What is surprising, however, is that no one really seems to know what the problem is. They’ve narrowed it down to his fibula, but, otherwise, are still in the dark. Señor Cristal is going to miss “some time,” but, much like the injury, no one is sure about the details of that, either.
2. In other news that is good only for friends and family of Dexter Wynn, Jacoby Jones is out for the game against Miami as well. And how much does it suck to get hurt by any punter not named Matt Turk?
3. I know this isn’t exactly scientific, but Matt Schaub is currently on pace for 4020 yards, 20 TDs, 12 INTs, 74% completions, and only 24 sacks. FYI–all of those numbers except INTs would be team records. Also FYI–the NFL single-season record for completion percentage is 70.5% (Ken Anderson, 1982).
Hurt so good
Oct 2, 2007 Andre Johnson, Batman, Jacoby Jones is slighty less unheralded, Jerome Mathis got hurt reading this, Ron Dayne likes pie, The Fred
Oh, speaking of Fred Bennett, there is some apparent good news on the injury front. Kubiak is optimistic that Jacoby Jones and Jerome Mathis (as well as Bennett) will be back at practice today. There is also hope that Ahman Green (aka The Only Running Back Worth A Damn On The Whole Damned Roster) will be back later in the week, which would be good news for everyone except Ron Dayne and Samkon Gado.
There is no real timetable for the return of Andre Johnson, however, which is less-than-good news. HoustonTexans.com has a video wherein AJ says that he has “been lifting on it” and that “the doctor…thinks that [Johnson's] PCL is completely healed.” Johnson also said that he would up the intensity of the rehab today or Wednesday, but stopped short of giving a timeframe or saying for sure whether he would be on the field against the Dolphins.
Through early morning fog I see, visions of the things to be
Sep 25, 2007 2007 Season, Andre Johnson, Batman, Injury bug, Jacoby Jones is slighty less unheralded, Ron Dayne likes pie
Tim took a break from shmoozing his readers to offer us a quick recap of who is in and who is out this weekend as the JUGGERNAUT travels down to the Dirty South.
Unfortunately, it looks like some of those injuries are going to be for longer than just the upcoming beatdown of the Falcons. Andre Johnson is expected to miss “at least two more weeks” according to HoustonProFootball.com. Jacoby Jones is out at least that long as well according to pretty much every source. Obviously, McKinney is done for the year with the blown ACL, as is Killings with a fractured neck. Good lord.
Of these, obviously Andre Johnson is the most important. That is hardly news. Now, I am not a physical therapist (though I have said I was as a pickup line before), but I have sprained a knee, and getting that flexibility back after the brace comes off can be a bitch–the tendons feel all tight and weird and you keep thinking it is going to explode if you bend it. Long story short, if he is ready to go in two weeks, AJ is a bad motorscooter.
In happier news, Ron Dayne managed to dislodge the immigrant family he accidentally swallowed, so he should be good to go this week. Also, according to Ahman Green, Batman is fine and just needs the swelling to go down, though Kubiak wasn’t quite so sure. Breaking the tie, for now at least, KFFL says that Megan Manfull says that she heard from Tommy who sits next to Becky in Biology that Green will play. Of course, we all know Becky is a lying slut, so take that with a grain of salt.
The best news from the M*A*S*H unit is that Andre Davis is going to play, despite dislocating his finger last week. After that leaping sideline grab last week, I became a fan of Apostrophe. Hell, I would Friendster the guy if I had any clue what the hell that meant. Stupid kids with their stupid hip slang. In my day, “bad” meant “good,” and that’s how it was supposed to be!
Arrows cost money. Use up the Irish; their dead cost nothing.
Sep 24, 2007 2007 Draft, 2007 Season, Injury bug, Jacoby Jones is slighty less unheralded, Offensive (punch)Line
Oh, gee, more outstanding news from yesterday’s game. And, by “outstanding,” I mean “shitacular.” Starting C Steve McKinney is out for the season with a torn ACL.
Obviously, Mike Flanagan will fill in for McKinney, with Chris White backing up Flanagan. My hope is that the team uses this chance to develop another Center and my money is on Kasey Studdard or Brandon Frye (currently on the practice squad). Of the two, I would prefer Studdard, though my primary reason is because I think Frye is better suited for Guard (or even Tackle). Besides, Studdard has “a mean streak,” which I think means that he will not hesitate to lay the pimp hand on any motherfucker that crosses him.
In other injury-plagued news, the separated shoulder Jacoby Jones suffered on his 74-yard punt return yesterday is going to keep him sidelined “two or three weeks.” With any luck, Jerome Mathis will slide into the PR duties so that we don’t have to deal with Dexter Wynn for “two or three weeks” of punt returning.
As I type feverishly in an effort to convince myself…
Sep 18, 2007 2006 Season, 2007 Season, Colts Shmolts, Gary Kubiak, Jacoby Jones is slighty less unheralded, Ron Dayne likes pie, Zoolander's snazzy handwear
I left a shorter version of that last post as a comment for Stephanie over at FanHouse. In response, she brought up a good point: when we beat the Colts last Christmas Eve (i.e. the last time they lost to anyone), we did with David Carr and Ron Dayne.
Not only that, we did it with the final iteration of Zoolander the Texan. You know, the one whose progression was “safety valve, run out of bounds, fetal position.” The one whose month of December included things like 3-step drops1, 4 INT game, and a overall rating for the month of 59.9. In that game against the Colts, however, Johnny Whitegloves went 16-26–7 of those to the RBs–for 127 yards (a whopping 4.5 average) and 1 TD. Clearly, this would not be good enough to beat the Colts. Yet, win we did because Ron Dayne chipped in with 153 rushing yards and two TDs, which, along with Kris Brown’s two FGs, allowed us to eke it out.
Now, nine months later, our team appears to be markedly better in nearly every aspect than the one that took the field last December. Most importantly, in place of Carr and Dayne, we’re rolling out there with Schaub and Batman. And, if we can manage to get the Colts to punt–they didn’t punt once in last year’s game–we have Jacoby freakin’ Jones ready to bust off a little somethin’ somethin’.
My point?
Andre Johnson had 4 catches for 48 yards in that game, meaning he wasn’t exactly the reason we won. Hell, he had a holding penalty that negated a TD and forced us to settle for a FG late in the game. We won because Gary Kubiak’s gameplan called for minimizing our weaknesses (i.e. Carr) and exploiting the Colts’ weaknesses (i.e. run defense). There is no reason to think we can’t use the same philosophy this time around. If we do, we can be in this thing until the end.
If, in addition, we cause a couple turnovers and avoid any of our own, we can actually win this game. And I can say with little or no hyperbole that a win Sunday would be the biggest win in the history of the franchise, bar none.
1 Despite this shortened drop and the instruction from the staff to stop trying to read defenses, Sandy was still sacked 12 times in December… behind the EXACT same line that has only allowed 2 sacks of Matt Schaub. Can we please, PLEASE stop pretending that David’s own timidity and lack of poise didn’t lead to most of his sacks?
So I says to Mabel, I says…
Aug 30, 2007 Chad Stanley, Jacoby Jones is slighty less unheralded, Matt Turk rules, Ohio State makes baby Jesus cry, Preseason 2007, Preview, Secondary issues are primary
Three player-related notes on the eve of the 53-man roster.
I wonder if Chad Stanley1 woke up this morning with a Jack-Bauer-esque countdown clock in his head. Considering it’s 83.2% certain that Stanley will get the axe2 at some point between now and Saturday afternoon, it’s kind of fun to picture him racing around town today, trying to save his job. It’s even more fun, however, picturing him getting a pink slip on Saturday morning. Lord knows he deserves it.
Jacoby Jones continues to show that he is a pass-catching, punt-returning, country-music-listening3 super ninja bent on total NFL domination. He ended the preseason with 11 catches for two TDs to go along with his two punt return TDs. Which, of course, means that Kevin Walter is still the second WR. Because, you know, those two catches and two drops he had over the past four games were simply dominant.
I have a love-hate relationship with Brandon Mitchell. On the one hand, he worships at the altar of Woody Hayes and, thus, is a soulless puppy-eating incubus. On the other, though, he’s played well enough this preseason that I would actually feel better about our safety depth if he made the roster. Honestly, I would rather have him on the active roster than Brandon Harrison, whom Mitchell has outplayed in three of the four games.
Final roster decisions made today (trimming from 75 to 53) and most likely announced tomorrow. I’ll have my last set of projections up sometime today. Because I’m sure Kubiak is waiting for my input.
1 The turd-eating pederast.
2 Only figuratively, damn it.
3 Huh?
We got a thing goin’ on
Aug 29, 2007 Jacoby Jones is slighty less unheralded, National Media, Preseason 2007, Special Teams, Training camp 2007
Ask any Texans fan what he or she thinks of Jacoby Jones and the answer you get will likely include phrases such as “simply amazing,” “great draft pick,” and “want him to be my baby-daddy.” Having your way with the Dallas Cowboys will get you that kind of respect, and deservedly so.
Jones might not be the leagues best-kept secret for much longer, though. It looks like the national media is catching wind of the greatness that is JJ. NFL.com’s Adam Schefter writes
Last year Bears rookie Devin Hester rocked the football world, returning punts for touchdowns and the Bears to NFC prominence.
This year, Texans rookie Jacoby Jones could do the same.
Three weeks into the preseason, no rookie has shined anymore than Jones, who has been a threat as a punt returner and a wide receiver.
The 6-foot-2, 210-pound Jones has caught eight passes, including one that went for a 19-yard touchdown against the Dallas Cowboys.
As a punt returner, Jones has brought back two for touchdowns in each of the Texans past two preseason games –- one for 81 yards against Arizona, the other for 90 yards against Dallas — and there could have been a third if Jones weren’t narrowly tripped up in Houston’s preseason opener against Hester’s Bears.
The Texans recognize Jones’ talents already, and have for quite some time. While many teams forecasted Jones as a fifth- or sixth-round pick, the Texans picked him in the third round. They liked him then; they like him even more now.
Jones was something of an unknown coming from tiny Lane College. There were questions about Jones’ small hands and dropped passes. But Jones hasn’t dropped anything this summer. It’s starting to look as if other teams dropped the ball on not picking Jones sooner.
Seriously… how cool is that? I know that there’s a list as long as my arm of guys who flashed in training camp, but never did anything in the pros. Hell, we’ve had a few of them. But Jones seems legit. Even if he can’t return punts for TDs in 10 or 11 games this season, we’ll still be more than pleased with what he brings to the table. As long as he treats the Titans like he treated the girls from up north.
