These Guys Are Good
How good, remains to be seen, but hell how can you not like what you have seen two games in? The offense has what is called elsewhere in the league (except Atlanta) a q-u-a-r-t-e-r-b-a-c-k. When you think about it, it kinda makes sense for the most important position in sports and the guy who touches the football the most often on the field should actually know what the f’ he’s doing out there. Interesting theory that I can only assume is relatively knew among NFL teams. The Texans have that now. It’s nice to have, makes winning a lot easier. So does a pass rush and BMFs like DeMeco and Dunta. Next up the Colts and what? No Andre? So.
--Far be it from me to be petty and concern myself over meaningless power rankings, but c’mon Peter King the Titans 8th and the Texans 10th?! Ummm, one of those teams still doesn’t have a loss and didn’t get lucky in its opening week win.
--More from Monday Morning Quarterback…he points out that Chris Brown has 13 more rushing yards than LaDainian, Reggie Bush, and Maurice Jones-Drew combined.
--Maybe it wasn’t the best thing in the world to have those top two picks in fantasy drafts. LT has 68 rushing yards on 35 carries while Steven Jackson has fewer rushing yards than the likes of Cadillac and Lendale. After catching 90 passes a year ago Steven has just four thus far.
--Let’s go through the list of QBs who have played two games and completed a higher percentage than Matt Schaub’s 72% rate. Tom Brady, done. Oddly enough the Cowboys lead the league in scoring yet Tony Romo’s completion rate of 54.7% is among the worst in the league. His rating is 3rd while Schaub’s is 6th.
--Jeff Garcia has four 40+ yard completions to lead the league. Carson Palmer has zero.
--Joey “don’t call me Carr” Harrington has been sacked 13 times while no one else has been sacked more than 7. But if the NFL ever turns into a piano recital well the Falcons will get the last laugh.
--The Cardinals are averaging twice as many yards a carry 4.6 than the Chargers are.
--The Texans have more sacks than either the Ravens or Chargers. The Texans have allowed fewer rushing yards than the Bears and rank 5th in that category.
--Catch of the week has to go to Braylon for that diving grab landing at the 5 and sliding into the end zone.
--I guess when you’re Ed “Guns” Hochuli you don’t worry about some football player getting mad because to the entire world Ed says, "It was not a hold. The defender was just overpowered."
--More impressive: Tom Brady with 12 incompletions and 6 TD passes through two games or Sam Bradford through 3 with 15 incompletions and 11 TD throws?
--I'm thinking QBs facing the Giants are must-starts...New York has given up 631 yards and 7 touchdowns in two games.
--New Material Alert!!! I think we’re gonna need a certain someone to start answering phone calls again.
