Re: That's Football...That's Life:Matt10's Houston Texans (NFL 2k5)





Waiting in the wings: First round draft picks Jimmy Clausen (Chiefs) and Sam Bradford (Texans) impressed during the preseason. It's a surprise to some that why their head coaches are not starting the outsanding rookies. The reason why is head coach Gary Kubiak (Texans) and head coach Herm Edwards (Chiefs) are not risk takers. They choose who the veterans are in Matt Schaub and Brodie Croyle, and leave Clausen and Bradford to wait eagerly for their chance to shine.

A running start: Chris Johnson missed the majority of last season with a torn achilles, but also did not register great numbers - fumbling more than scoring. Johnson will be looking to regain his form against what some are saying the weakest defense in the NFL. The Chiefs' Larry Johnson has hailed himself as one of the best backs in the league, but the revamped Houston side might say otherwise with the arrival of Antonio Cromartie in the offseason, and outstanding veteran linebacker, Demeco Ryans.

The Score: 28-14 Texans. The game won't be a defensive battle, it will mostly consist of mistakes, penalties, etc. A typical first game of the season. Schaub is expected to have a lot of pressure on his shoulders as the Houston faithful will be waiting for the quarterback to make a mistake, so young Sam Bradford can officially call Houston home.
