LAST SECOND TD WINS TEXANS ITS 2ND STRAIGHT GAME
@
The Texans are now in rhythm as they get their 2nd win in the preseason under their belt. Lots of young people stepped up so far including Devier Posey, Randy Bullock, and Roc Carmichael. The Saints started off horribly letting 23 points up in the first half alone. After Sproles was hurt the Saints offense could not get going. But after he thought he was healed he got a few snaps at slot reciever and completely burned the Texans coverage 2 times (1 for a TD). Everything seemed well in the game until 2nd MLB Bradie James and SS Quinin Demps are both out indefinitely for the rest of the preseason and the start of regular season. Bradie James talked after the game about his injury and it seems his toe was broken and the nail was gone. It seemed very gruesome in the press' eyes as they stood there hearing what he had to say. He said that he is sure Daryl [Sharpton] and Keyaron [Fox] can step up and win us games. Also, Backup SS Quintin Demps talked about his injury and it seems that it is a torn bicep which makes him unable to do any upper body activities until he is cleared to go. Both are expected to be back on the field by Week 7 the Texans hope as they get ready for their last preseason game against the young Vikings.
