Title: Texans on MNF
Post by: Limey on October 08, 2012, 10:18:55 am
I am starting to get nervous about this one.  The Texans are rolling.  Meanwhile, the Jets just lost their star receiver, are already without their top cornerback, have multiple injury issues up and down the roster, have a mis-firing QB and just got pounded at home.

It's a perfect snap and hold by Lucy...

It's amazing how different the stadium seems when the Jets are playing than when the Giants play.

Kubiak gets fixated on one type of play, and waits too long before trying something else.  E.G., his love affair with play-action, which worked for a while, but you need to run the ball at least some of the time to stop the defense sitting on it.  So then he only ran the ball.

My real concern was that the Jets' shitty offense was teaching the rest of the country how to counter the Texans' blitz.  It took Wade a Kubiak* to adjust to the Jets running draws and screens.  When he did, they shut 'em down again.


* A measure of time that is too fucking long.

I think losing Cushing for most of the game had an effect on their defense. He is solid at picking up on the plays, giving the line more opportunity to focus on the pass rush and blitz. It may take some time to adjust to not having one of the most solid LBs holding the line.

Kubiak wasn't perfect (and never is), but I thought he did a good job last night.  There are adjustments that are made from both sides throughout the game, but the Jets still have a good defense even though everyone seems to think they're the joke of the league.  I thought he did a good job of limiting the turnover risks and letting the defense beat their offense.

The lack of execution in the red zone is a concern.  If the Texans execute inside the 20, the game is a blowout, with or without the woeful special teams play.

Bingo!  The Texans mopped the floor with the Jets yesterday, and it took a tipped pass to hold on for a win.  The play calling inside the red zone was atrocious (as has become a pattern).  They wasted 3 timeouts last night because they couldn't get a play called in time.  The offense simply did not look good last night, and it wasn't all Jets defense.

To be fair re: time outs, it was clear that they had an equipment issue, not a coaching issue, that forced those to be called.

If you want to point out a sideline clusterfuck, look at how the Jets wasted their timeouts, and picked up penalty yards, because they couldn't get their players on/off the field in any semblance of order.  If they don't burn those timeouts, they have more time on the clock at the end, don't have to try to force a play prior to the 2-minute warning, which then won't get picked off, and they most likely win the game.

I agree that the redzone play-calling was horrible.  Also, someone needs to modify Shaub's neck so that his head can turn independently from the rest of his body.

That sound you hear is Vince Lombardi rolling over in his grave.  Coaches relayed in plays for decades prior to the very recent advent of headsets in the QB's helmet.  Hand signals, shuttling plays in, etc are all alternative methods that teams practice for just such a situation.  Once...OK.  Three times and you still can't figure it out?  Swift kick in the junk.

I will say, the only saving grace to Kubiak's red zone offense is Arian Foster.  He just knows how to find the end zone.  Other than that I think a combination of (a) Kubiak's scheme, (b) Schaub's skills, and (c) Andre's skills do not work together in the red zone.  OD plays well around the goal line, too.

This bullshit you guys are spewing about Kubiak is just embarrassingly stupid, especially in light of the Texans 5-0 record. Rex Ryan pulled out all the stops last night and his Jets still lost. That onside kick attempt was comically dumb. The only reason the Jets were even in this game was that Joe McKnight kick return, which oh by the way shouldn't have counted since Bryan Braman was held from behind and the refs inexplicably missed it.

I'm elated the Texans are 5-0, but 5-0 isn't the goal.  The goal is to look like--and to eventually become--a team that can win the super bowl.  The Texans appear to be of a high caliber in many facets of the game, but the red zone offense and special teams need work.  The margin for error is only going to get thinner with Cushing out for the year.

Oh, please. Get off your fucking high horse, you've done nothing of the sort. You've been proven wrong time after time after time with regards to Matt Schaub and Gary Kubiak, and the successes they've enjoyed the last two seasons are proof positive. You've been nothing but a Kubiak hater with an axe to grind. Forchrissakes they are one of two undefeated teams in the NFL but you demand nothing but perfection in the boxscore AND the scoreboard. They could score TDs on three out of every four red zone trips and you'd bitch about his use of a timeout.

With all things Kubiak, you are a clown HH.

They've been a team that could win the Super Bowl since last year. In fact, I'm pretty sure they would have been there against the Giants if not for Schaub's injury. They were very good last year, they're even better now. Last night was a tough win, but it wasn't a surprise to me because I fully expected the Jets to play up to the circumstances and the MNF stage. That game was one the Texans of old usually lose, but they've been winning a lot of these games going back to last year. They have finally learned how to win and expect to do so. Much credit goes to Wade Phillips, obviously, but it's also a credit to Kubiak, Smith, and McNair. They have this franchise headed in the right direction for the foreseeable future.

Losing Cushing is a huge blow, however. Fuck you Slauson.

I agree...why give a high-powered offense the ball at midfield?  Especially down by 6...I figured that would be the best opportunity you have (as a Jet) to have the crowd going crazy and get a stop on defense.  Not only did the Texans get a short field, the Jets lost the opportunity to gain some field position (in the event of a subsequent three and out)...either way they were going to fuck themselves if the kick did not pan out.  That play call was the ultimate show of respect for the Texans...they knew their chances of winning a multiple possession game were slim.  Which leads to the subsequent playcalling.  Up 6 at the end of the third quarter you HAVE to take sacks and interceptions out of the equation and get into a two possession game.  Kubiac merely accepted the gift given and turned it into a sure three points.  Tom Landry would have been proud.

Also, the "Just enough talent to win" portion of the haiku was in itself one of the dumbest things I have read on the internet this year.

They've been a team that could win the Super Bowl since last year. In fact, I'm pretty sure they would have been there against the Giants if not for Schaub's injury Jacoby Jones.

FIFY

You obviously don't read your own posts.  You're a bitter Cowboys fan in search of a fight, we get it.  I hear this shit all day long at work, and it's pretty tired by now. 

The Texans were one J.J. Watt deflection away from falling behind, and Kubiak's ultra-conservative game plan would have guaranteed failure.  As Limey already pointed out, Phillips' defense made the Jets 2nd-stringers look like Pro Bowlers for at least half the game.  I don't hate Kubiak or Phillips, but I don't think they're above-average coaches either, particularly Kubiak.

Phillips isn't an above average coach? You are a blithering idiot.

I think Phillips has more than proved his mettle as a defensive coordinator. 

As for Kubiak, he's no great genius at managing a game, but I think it's fair to say that he has improved with experience and is less likely then he used to be to get in the way of the talent on the team.

Yup, I don't really know...my general opinion is that both guys are very good coordinators, but not great head coaches.  Overall I am very happy with Phillips and I hope he stays with the Texans for a long long time.

Oh, I see.  Yes, Wade was a shitty head coach.  However, especially given how he immediately turned one of the worst defenses in the league into one of the best, I think even "very good coordinator" is selling him short.  And he looks so fucking friendly.

Yeah, but he had just enough talent to do it with. I'd rather look at his daughter.

Not really looking to fight, was merely agreeing to Matadorph's statement RE the onside kick and defending what I thought was a good coaching move, albeit conservative, by Kubiak on the subsequent red zone apperance.  Seeing how the playcalling was called into question...at that point of the game I believe it was the right call.  Most "old school" coaches would agree with what occurred in that sequence, especially given the fact it was an away game against an inferior opponent and the FG gave you a two possession lead (with one quarter left to play against a fairly inept offense, no less).  You play the odds there by protecting the football and then let your defense do its job.  As far as your artistic prowess, I stand beside my statement.  If wins and losses were based solely on talent, the Texans would probably go undefeated....they have an abundance of talented players.  Implying they have just enough talent to win is fucking idiocy at its finest.

I would not judge his head coaching ability on the Dallas job. Garrett was there screwing shit up knowing he wad going to get his job.

He might still be their leading tackler but they'll all be 10+ yards up the field.

No surprise there. If all you do is return kicks, you'd better be pretty awesome at it. Holliday simply wasn't getting it done.

Ruud will get as much playing time as Derek Mason did last year for the Texans.  He's depth and that is all.

I think anyone smart enough to spot a seam in coverage and zip through it on a regular basis, is going to be an offensive back somewhere.  Therefore, kick returners typically are going to be whippets who run into brick walls on a regular basis.

As long as they have enough brain power to run away from a ball that's about to land, or has actually just landed, on the 3 yard line, then I'm happy.  #Jacoblitheringidiot

Kick returners are usually guys who can play elsewhere...backup WR, DB, RB...cover on punt team, etc.  If returning kicks is *all* you do, you'd better be one of those guys who can spot the seam.
