The Houston Texans (3-5) are heading to McAfee Coliseum on Sunday to play the Oakland Raiders (2-5).  Last year, the teams met and the Texans won a defensive battle as both offenses were shut down for a slow paced and punter-friendly game.  This Sunday both teams have improved, but injuries and inexperience have slowed them.

Texans at Falcons: 5 Questions Texans Need Answered

1. Can Matt Schaub and the wounded WR corps pick apart a fired up Falcons secondary?
One thing’s for sure this season; Matt Schaub is accurate and can pass to a wide variety of receivers. As it seems so far, Jerome Mathis and Kevin Walter will start for the Texans at WR. Walter should be matched [...]

Texans’ running game conspicuous in its absence

The Houston Texans and the Green Bay Packers share something in common - both team’s running attacks are, for the time being, invisible.  But there’s also some differences - the Packers have unproven running backs carrying the ball.  The Texans, on the other hand, are simply bitten by the injury bug.  The starting RB, Ahman [...]

Schaub Happy, Kubiak Dissatisfied

Quarterback Matt Schaub is praising his fellow Texans over their win Sunday against Kansas City, but coach Gary Kubiak wants more from the team.  The biggest mistakes the players made were mental, but there were communications problems too, Kubiak says.  The Texans beat the Chiefs 20-3, with a last drive toward the end that Schaub [...]
