Texans Land Fullback in Greg Jones
Can confirm the #Texans have signed fullback Greg Jones to a one-year deal. — Tania Ganguli (@taniaganguli) March 27, 2013 Greg Jones’ deal is for $1 million. Base of $840,000 with $160,000 to sign. $240,000 of it is guaranteed. #Texans — Tania Ganguli (@taniaganguli) March 27, 2013 The Houston Texans continued their offseason work with the signing of free agent fullback, Greg Jones. The Texans plucked him away from division foe, the Jacksonville Jaguars where he has been a key piece of their football team since 2004. At 6-1 and 265 lbs. the Texans have added a missing piece…
Fullback Greg Jones visiting the Texans
Texans hosting FB Greg Jones today. I can confirm report they’ll bring in Tyrann Mathieu at some point before draft. — John McClain (@McClain_on_NFL) March 26, 2013 In fact, if Greg Jones played in a city other than Jacksonville, he probably would have made a Pro Bowl by now. Vicious blocker. #Texans — Tania Ganguli (@taniaganguli) March 26, 2013 The Houston Texans are hosting free agent fullback, Greg Jones, who most recently played for the Jacksonville Jaguars. Jones was drafted by the Jaguars in 2004 in the 2nd round (55th overall) out of Florida State University where he originally was recruited…
Texans to Watch: Jacksonville Edition
The 8-1 Houston Texans take on division rival 1-8 Jacksonville Jaguars this Sunday in Reliant Stadium. This Jaguars’ team is reminiscent of the early Texans led by David Carr – maybe worse since it is being reported that Jags’ All-Pro running back Maurice Jones-Drew will be out due to injury. The key for the Texans this week will be how they react coming off a big win at Chicago on a short week. The term “any given Sunday” comes to mind. The Jaguars, ironically, play better on the road. Their only win was on the road versus the Colts,…
Know Your Opponent With @ndyWillis
In this week’s episode, we check in with Twitter favorite and Jaguars fan everydude, Andy Willis. Andy is as diehard as diehards come. We have a Twitter bet for (apparently) every Texans/Jaguars (not Jags – seems they don’t like that) match-up. It’s an avatar wager and if I win, he gets this. If he wins, I get… I don’t know. Does it matter? It seems Andy and the rest of Jacksonville have conceded the contest already. Which works for us here at State of the Texans. Although, truthfully, Jaguars fans are my favorite of…
Jaguars Sunday Primer: 3 Things to Watch
Divisional games for the Houston Texans always seem to be an adventure for the team, especially when the Jacksonville Jaguars are involved. Despite the Texans taking both games in 2011 (24-14 and 20-13), there is reason to use caution in their first meeting in 2012. Look no further than the Jaguars best player in Maurice Jones-Drew and what he can get between the tackles and moving forward with the football. The Jaguars always seem to give the Texans issues and in the last ten games the teams have split the series. Overall, the Texans lead the series 11-9 since the 2002 season….
Know Your Opponent: With @BlackandTeal
We mark the second installment of Know Your Opponent by continuing our focus on the Texans’ rival for the coming Sunday. This week, we enlist the help of Luke Sims with Black & Teal to aid our understanding on a variety of topics from what to expect from Blaine Gabbert week 2 to the MJD holdout, as well as the new vibe in Jax with the Khan ownership and Mularkey coaching takeover.

Texans Top 5 Rivals
Thinking about the upcoming Houston Texans season made me think of the teams that seem to bring the best out of the Texans. The list has the names we all expect to see but the order might be up for debate. Entering the 10th full season of play, the rivalry between the Texans and their opponents are still putting chapters to their histories. The list will evolve in the coming seasons, but as of today this is how I see it when it comes to the Texans current rivals. 5. Dallas Cowboys (All Time Record: 1-2, Points 38-71) This has to be the…
Behind Enemy Lines: With Jaguars 101
Once again in our segment of Behind Enemy Lines we catch up with our friends at Jaguars 101 and look at our AFC South counterparts the Jacksonsville Jaguars. Brendan answers some questions regarding Texans fan favorite “Pot Roast”, Blaine Gabbert’s recent play, the loss of Rasheen Mathis and Clint Session for the season and what the Jags will need to do to beat the Texans on Sunday.
Punch Gate, You Be the Judge
The Jacksonville Jaguars will not let this past weeks loss die and Duane Brown is the center of this controversy. Words early Monday said the Houston Texans are a dirty playing team, and it seems that Terrance Knighton and Jeremy Mincey will not be sending the Texans offensive line Christmas cards anytime soon. On the sack and fumble recovery by Jaguars linebacker Clint Session, and all the laterals that went with it, Duane Brown and a few other Texans were on the tackle it seems that Brown threw a punch into the midsection of Session, be the judge on how…
