The Houston Texans host the New York Jets at Reliant Stadium on Monday 8/15/11. Kickoff time is 8:00 pm EST Discuss….
Look for RB Chris Ogbonnaya to shine, also the battle to replace Kareem Jackson as starter is between Jason Allen and Sherrick McManis. Also the battle to replace Cushing is between Darryl Sharpton & Xavier Adibi.(Mr Irrelevant could be very relevant also) And the Awesome WR competition just to earn a roster spot between Terrance Tolliver, Lestar Jean, Jeff Maehl, & Derick Townsel. Paul Williams and Trindon Holiday have no chance. Theres also a battle for the starting DT job between Shawn Cody & Earl Mitchell. I'm expecting McManis, Adibi, T2, & Mitchell to win those jobs. But now we get to see who plays better in a game not practice.
OOOH YEEAAHH!! (kool aid man voice) I expect him to win the Nickle Back job/ slot/ #3 CB. Even though K Jackson has gotten better, he still gets beat over the top very easy, but when they're in the red zone he's pretty good (when he has the back of the endzone to keep him form gettin beat deep) The CB coach said B Harris's football IQ is awesome and gets better everyday. I'm hoping Roc Carmichael (VT) plays, he hurt his left shoulder in TC, showed some good potential but needs a lot of reps.
Not dressing tonight vs. Jets: A. Johnson, Foster, Tate, Slaton, Cushing, Holliday, Joseph, Carmichael, Weeks, D. Lewis. Derrick Ward will start for Foster, Jacoby Jones for A. Johnson, Jason Allen for Joseph, Darryl Sharpton for Cushing
