The Houston Texans gave this game to the Titans, and it was hard to watch! The Texans out-gained the Titans 427-197 and lost the game! The Titans scored on a 53 yard punt return for a TD (Pacman Jones) and returned a David Carr fumble 40 yards for a TD (DE Tony Brown). David Carr didn’t play very well when he was in the game, even though his numbers don’t look horrible. Carr completed 15 of 21 passes for 113 yards and an interception. Sage Rosenfels relieved him and rallied the troops, completing 18 of 25 passes for 186 yards with 3 TDs and an INT. RB Wali Lundy had another great game, carrying the ball 18 times for 116 yards (6.4 ypc) and caught 5 passes for 33 yards. TE Owen Daniels caught 9 passes for 99 yards and 2 TDs. Andre Johnson had a good game too, catching 9 passes for 78 yards and a TD.
The defense played well on Sunday, LB Marlon Greenwood had 9 tackles and DeMeco Ryans pitched in with 10 tackles. DE Mario Williams had 3 tackles and a sack. The Titans ran the ball 27 times for 111 yards (4.1 ypc). The Titans only completed 7 of 15 passes for 86 net yards passing.
This is a game that pits two young teams that each won their last football game and are starting to come together.
Texans fans would love nothing more than for their team to beat the team that was STOLEN from them! The Texans running game finally showed life last week against a tough Jaguars defense and they should have alot of success running against the “Super Soft” Titans run defense. The Titans allow 164.5 yards rushing per game and 4.7 yards per carry! Rookie RB Wali Lundy (150 rushing yards, 4.2 ypc) will get first shot against the Titans run defense. Samkon Gado also looks like he’s ready to produce after having a decent game last week. The Texans should have no problem throwing the ball against the Titans defense which allows a 94.1 opponents QB rating. Look for David Carr (1,217 yards passing) to attack the Titans with Andre Johnson (47 rec, 591 yards) and Eric Moulds (25 rec, 290 yards).
The Titans will look to continue with what’s been working for them on offense, which is running the football. Travis Henry (383 yards rushing, 4.7 ypc) will get the bulk of the carries against a Texans defense that allows 138.5 yards rushing per game and 4.5 yards per carry. QB Vince Young (512 yards passing, 56.5 QB rating) is not ready to attack the Texans secondary which allows 247.2 yards and 66% completions.
This should be a great game to watch, but I have a feeling the Texans are the better team.
The Texans offense needs to play better. The Texans are only averaging 16.5 points per game this season. The Texans need to run the ball better as they only average 78.2 yards rushing per game and 3.2 yards per carry this season. David Carr has been outstanding throwing the ball as the team is averaging 198.2 net yards passing per game and completing 70.5% of their passes. The Texans need to play better on offense to keep their defense off of the field.
The Texans run defense downright stinks! The Texans allow 138.5 yards rushing per game and 4.6 yards per carry! The pass defense is not any better, allowing 247.2 net yards passing per game and allowing opponents to complete 66.0% of their passes.
The Texans played a complete football game and won all three phases of the football game! QB David Carr had another very good football game. Carr completed 25 of 34 passes for 224 yards and 2 TDs. Rookie RB Wali Lundy had a good game carrying the ball 19 times for 93 yards (4.9 ypc) and a TD. Lundy also caught 4 passes for 15 yards. RB Samkon Gado pitched in 10 carries for 27 yards (2.7 ypc) and caught 3 passes for 15 yards. WR Andre Johnson had his usual stellar game, catching 8 passes for 106 yards and a TD. TE Owen Daniels caught 2 passes for 20 yards and a TD.
The defense played it’s best game of the year on Sunday. LB Morlon Greenwood had 6 tackles and recovered a fumble. Rookie DE Mario Williams had a sack and a fumble recovery. The Texans allowed the Jaguars to rush for 102 yards on 25 carries (4.1 ypc). The Jaguars could only muster 118 net yards passing on 14 of 28 completions.
This could be the beginning of something good in Houston if the O-Line and Defense can keep playing like they did against the Jaguars.
