Houston Texans “Super Draft” 2002-2012
It’s not often when you get a chance to do something that takes vision and time to put together, which turns into one of the more interesting posts we have done in some time. We enlisted the help of TX Cleaver, Big Ron and Jake Langerkamp, who have been fans with the team since it’s inception in 2002. We asked all three to join us in a mock draft using, as players to draft from, only the Houston Texans’ players who have ever suited up for the team since 2002. All three were intrigued by the idea and immediately accepted the offer. Of course, we only used four…
The Texans Need More Edge
If you think about it, there are now only a handful of Texans’ players that could possibly fit the mold we are talking about, that bad guy, but in a good way. The player that plays with the reckless abandon and doesn’t care what the other team or his teammates think. The guy that might seem a little bit crazy on the football field, the one that gives an identity to a football team. Take a look at the Texans we think are the heels of the team. Current Texans That Fit the Mold Kareem Jackson Kareem brought his A game in…

The Kindness of One J.J. Watt
When 6 year old Breanna was caught crying on camera, the video posted to You Tube, J.J. Watt went above and beyond to make the little girl smile again. Why was Breanna crying? Because she wanted to be 25 so she could marry J.J. Watt. Watt took to Twitter in a crusade to locate the young fan. Does anyone happen to know this cute little girl? We have to find her and turn those tears into a smile.m.youtube.com/watch?v=938Scd… — JJ Watt (@JJWatt) January 28, 2013 Well, Watt found the wee fan and went above and beyond in turning that frown…
Texans Biggest Surprise Players of 2012
It’s often you have players who come out and play above expectations and that was the case for five Houston Texans in 2012. The list is composed of players that were in the spotlight and a few that were behind the scenes but put together some solid play for the Texans. Take a look at our biggest surprises of the 2012 season for the Texans.
Know Your Opponent with Derek Havens
Divisional Round of the AFC Playoffs. The Houston Texans head back to Foxboro, MA for the second meeting versus the New England Patriots in 5 weeks after the initial 2012 meeting in week 14. What have the Texans learned, what new wrinkles will we see from Belichick, Brady and crew, and who will show up who may not have been so influential in the game’s outcome in December. We can always count on Derek Havens of PatsFans.com and @PatriotsHaven on Twitter, for answers to all our burning questions – some serious, some not-so-much. Read below to get Derek’s valuable…
Texans to Watch: Patriots Playoff Edition
This weekend’s playoff matchup features a re-match of the December 10th Patriots blowout of the Texans. It was a game we all remember but one we wish to forget. The biggest key to this game is did the Texans, including the coaches, learn anything from the December 10th matchup? For example, will Wade Phillips change his high risk, high reward man to man coverage scheme and try to blitz Tom Brady again? And, did Kubiak’s offensive line learn how to block Patriots’ Vince Wilfork? In the NFL, teams are relatively balanced in terms of talent and parity, hence the phrase any…
Know Your Opponent with Colts Authority
As we enter the final week of the 2012 NFL regular season game, the Houston Texans meet their old (in Texans existence terms, that is,) foes the Indianapolis Colts for the second time in three weeks. Having just met two Sundays ago, both teams have a really good idea of what to expect from the other. Game planning and player motivation will be at fevered pitch, fans of each team hope, as Colts HC Chuck Pagano plans to play his starters in a game of little consequence to the Colts who are locked into the 5 seed in the…
Know Your Opponent with Mike Wobschall from Vikings.com
Here we are, week 16, the final 2012 game against an AFC North foe (unless… Super Bowl, anyone?) This time, the Houston Texans face the Adrian Peterson led Minnesota Vikings for a Sunday noon game at Reliant. The Vikings are not entirely unknown to the Texans as the interconference opponents met in the final week of the preseason. Of course that was a long time and many injuries ago – and before a couple of each team’s players emerged as potential NFL MVP candidates. Where’s the fun in this particular game? Only watching Adrian Peterson grind it out in attempt…
