Change in Houston-The Coaching Career of Michael Smith

[Mike3207]

I ran into some problems with gameplay the last one, so i'll be trying a new career with Houston.I quickly found out that you'll easily be dominated in the AFC South if you don't focus on gameplay from the start. Putting points in playbooks and training is great, but make sure you can win the games first.

Coach Michael Smith is taking over the Texans from tiny Tradewind University. He's developed two very successful playbooks that have led to him getting a 48-5 record in his years there. The Texans are looking for someone to lead them to the Promised Land in a very tough division, so they gave Michael the nod.

HC Michael Smith
Personality-Commander
Skills-Performance 4, Team Chemistry 3, Strategy 3, Playcall 3.
Special Skills-Charm, Charisma(to keep from getting fired).

Offensive playbook-Tradewind Special. Spread based-but lots of others as well.

Defensive Playbook-Tradewind Surprise-4-3, 3-4, 4-2-5, 3-3-5, 46, Raiders Rover, 3-2-6, etc.

Philosophies-all Balanced

Sliders-48 User/ 40 CPU.

House Rules-none yet, but will keep an open mind.

I'll play all games and look to stay in Houston all 15 years.

2008 Draft

First, a brief apology to anyone who has followed since my Change in Chicago dynasty. I've really struggled to find a good balance in gameplay since that one-I'll do my best to make sure this one really goes at least 10 years.

Now the draft. Once again I was able to get Rivers by trading up with the Saints-they really want Daniels. Trade 1st, then the 1st round.


Trade:

Texans trade 1-18, TE Owen Daniels, and 2009 4th to the Saints for 1-10-draft Keith Rivers.

Dunta became expendable with the signing of Nnamdi, so i went and traded him for the 4-98 pick. Only bad move has the GM urging Howard on me, he's already been cut. Trades first, then my picks.

Trades:

2-42-Texans get this for ROLB Morlon Greenwood, 3-74, and 2009 6th.

4-98-Rams trade to Texans for CB Dunta Robinson and 2009 7th.

I was thinking this might be a easy win after we scored the first 24 unanswered points, but Ben and the Steelers really came on strong at the end. One of the key plays in the game was a INT TD by Asomugha. Good start to our season and my career.

The Ravens offense played a good game-but they couldn't take care of the ball. 6 turnovers, 4 INTs, 2 defensive TDs, and a kickoff return TD provided all the win margin we would need. 2 straight wins-we'll need it when we play the division.

A really big win to pull this one out in OT over the Jaguars. Woodson threw a few too many INTs down the stretch, so I had to rely on Schaub and Serna to take this one into OT. A big game coming up next against the Colts.

I never have much luck with the Colts early on. Woodson's 3 INT and 150 yds rushing by Addai was enough for them to win the game-will look to get back on track against the Dolphins.

Re: Change in Houston-The Coaching Career of Michael Smith

2008 Season-Game 6-Texans 41, Dolphins 20

The Dolphins played pretty well the 1st half, but not so good the 2nd. I figured out SS Blitz shuts down the run pretty well, and my offense played much better the 2nd half.

CU-LBC-Perf 3, DBC-Lrn Dev DB 3

OPOW-QB Andre Woodson-21-28-345-4 pass TDs.
