This sure doesn’t get old…

If there’s vulnerability in the Houston defense, it’s in the secondary – specifically, at corner. Cornerback Brice McCain fractured his foot during Sunday’s win over the Titans and is lost for the year, while fellow cornerback Johnathan Joseph (who has traditionally been matched against the opponents’ best receiver) has been battling a hamstring issue. As good as the Texans are when it comes to getting after the passer, they are strictly middle of the road when it comes to overall pass defense – Houston yields an average of 235 passing yards per game, 19th in the NFL. (Things have deteriorated to the point where the Texans signed defensive back Stanford Routt off the street on Tuesday.) Most times, Houston has compensated for injuries (or substandard play) in the secondary by dialing up the pass rush. It’s questionable as to whether or not it can do it again on Monday night against the best passing offense it will face all season.
Great stuff, packed with scout insight.

Start your day off with a Brady stats-gasm!
Brady right now leads the greatest offensive machine football has ever seen, about to top 500 points scored for the fourth time in six years. • 2007 Patriots – 589 points (NFL record) • 2012 Patriots – 573 points (projected) • 2010 Patriots – 518 points • 2011 Patriots – 513 points We might be talking six-for-six had Brady not missed the entire 2008 season to injury and struggled to regain his form in 2009. No other franchise has scored 500 points in four different seasons. In fact, only 10 teams have done it even once.

Checking the balls before the game and after the game would have been enough for me. The officials have approximately only six minutes in their locker room at halftime as it is. By the time they get off the field and then have to leave to notify the teams with a two-minute warning to get […]
