" READY FOR THE RAIDERS "

So here we are Wednsday , 3 and a half days until game time , And yes I am already excited ! My negativity is almost gone for this week and hopefully for all of next week ! In all honesty I really think the Texans will fix some defensive tackling problems this week and handle the Raiders running game. Darren Mcfadden is only averaging 3.6 yards per carry and has only one touchdown. I hope the Texans don't put to much of the focus on Mcfadden and forget about Micheal Bush who is averaging a decent 4.1 yards per carry. I really hope they do not let another big quarterback run all over the field for first downs like Garrard did .

TEXANS OFFENSE NEEDS TO PLAY BIG

I was impressed with Matt Schaub last week completing 26/35 passes for 300 yards 3 td's and only one interception . If he can keep that up and shoot for some big plays down field to A.J. it should no doubt open up the run game early for Slaton to get going. Kevin Walter also showed up big with 7 catches and needs to build on that this week, But Schaub has to be careful where he lets the ball fly with former UT product Micheal Huff roaming around with a team leading 3 interceptions. Also he needs to get rid of it quick with Richard Seymour already recording 2 sacks on the season . If Jacoby Jones can give us some good field position on kickoffs and punts It will make everything alot easier ! So come on guys lets win this one for our rookie defensive coordinator and get him off the hook, before it's to late !
