I am guessing an OL of Tunsil-Jones-Scruggs-Mason-Howard is going to be the best iteration this season. I don't see how the aggy gets his job back next season.

Patterson has actually been pretty good at center. I wonder if he'll stay in the lineup in some form, whether that's at center or LG

I will admit, I am absolutely surprised.

Wasn't much of a believer in CJS in preseason or after game 1.  Holy hell, has he improved. We have a real team that's enjoyable to watch, if we can get a run game going.

[Fud 9552]

Tunsil practiced at LT today, Tytus Howard practiced at LG

Patterson would stay at C and Tytus would play LG.

Outside of the obvious talent we've seen on the field so far, the most exciting thing about Stroud IMO is his belief in himself. His goal is not to be a starting QB and making Pro Bowls. He wants to be the best to ever do it.

Do you mean Scruggs? It is interesting that they are moving Howard to LG, I guess they like Fant at RT.

Juice is more athletic and has faster feet and would most likely be better at C once he is ready in a few weeks. Patterson has played well and would be an excellent backup to have going forward. aggy LG is already a bust and most likely a training camp cut next year.

Think it’s more that Howard is better at his off-position than anyone else on the line would be….

nice.  no volume though.  is there some trick i'm missing?

[henrygandorf 29190]

nm i got it sorted out.

[Macklemore 2874]

Can’t get stuffed for a 6 yard loss again on a run. We ran it on the right side on that play and when we got stuffed on 3rd and 1. Run it behind Tunsil blocking.

[Macklemore 2874]

Tough 1st half but will take it being up 9-7. Stroud once again gets us points in the 2 minute offense. Great job by him and Slowik.

[Rip76 4925]

[Macklemore 2874]

Damn wish we got a TD there after Bijan’s fumble. Our run game is shit. Need to throw more 

[tx ind 7013]

Love this D!

[Macklemore 2874]

SWARM!!! Let’s score a fucking TD here damn it.

Edited October 8, 2023 by Macklemore

[tx ind 7013]

Crap, another batted ball

[Slacks 6819]

Demeco Ryans has changed the defensive culture.

Slowik and CJ have changed the offense and made it dynamic with average NFL talent. 

For the first time since they were formed, I'm not watching the Texans to see how they're going to lose. 

 

I still hate the name "Texans" for the Houston football team, but I'm get over it. 

 

[Rip76 4925]

Offense is a bit flat today.

 

[CycleTex87 2970]

 Bijan!!!

I love Bijan but I’m it rooting for him today

[Ignatius 4017]

Need a TD drive here; it’s the 4th quarter, don’t waste any more time trying to ‘establish’ anything. Go up-tempo, throw the fucking ball…

[Rip76 4925]

Oh well.

Tank Dell out for the rest of the game with a concussion.  Shit.

I agree, should have kept the space city theme. Rockets, Astros, Comets. Apollos would have been cool. Starkillers, Supernovas, meteors, red dwarfs, Neptunes, etc, lots to work with if they didn't give in to the post 9/11 'merica stuff.

[Macklemore 2874]

CJ’s first come from behind game winning drive is on its way 

[Harrison Stafford 3335]

Running behind the right side of the OL has been an exercise in futility all day.  Stop it.

[tx ind 7013]

CJ!!!

[Macklemore 2874]

STROUD!!!!

[Rip76 4925]

Like I said yesterday.

Too much time.

[Dutchrudder 11139]

Time for the defense to step up!

[Ignatius 4017]

Lol so what would you have done differently on that drive, “take more time”? How, specifically?

[tx ind 7013]

God damnit, just let them go right down the field

[TonyTexas 10510]

Just now, Ignatius said:

Yep. They took 5 minutes off the clock to score which included several running plays. 

[Rip76 4925]

Oh.  Nothing that could be done.  Just a statement.

Maybe score more during the rest of the game.

😀

[Updawg 2266]

Too bad. But least the team seems be going in the right direction and has a QB

There might be hope

[TexasMan 10891]

Stroud came through in crunch time. Just take your lumps this year. Rome wasn't built in a day. 

[Ignatius 4017]

Field goals instead of touchdowns early…get back on it at home next week.

[Dutchrudder 11139]

Can't be too upset, this is a team that's on the right path, but isn't ready to contend... yet. Lot of things to be happy about even in a loss, Demeco seems like a good coach so far, and the team has a lot of promising young players. 

[tx ind 7013]

Zero INTs thru 5 games and 170+ passes, got a QB

[Macklemore 2874]

Disappointing result. I’m still 100% bullish on this team. We’ll make adjustments and be better for it. There are still some big holes on this roster that are killing us. Imagine adding a TE like LaPorta or Bowers on this team next year. We also need a shiftier RB to add to the stable.

And an OC / QB Coach that isn't a shitty GM. 

[tx ind 7013]

Singletary hurt? Had no carries

Did they ever fire that douchebag from New England? I haven't been paying that much attention beyond the games. 

[HtownHorn 14678]

Too many FGs. Could never put them away despite the two TOs in the 3Q. Pierce is a good backup RB, but his vision is awful and he leaves a lot of yards on the field.

I knew we were losing when we scored too quickly same with Texas yesterday. It's just too easy to move the ball in today's game.
