How awesome is this?
Williams told the station, "I started walking today. I brushed my own teeth today, sat up in a chair today, fed myself today."
"I'm doing good man."
Considering where he was less than a week ago , this is downright amazing. And it puts tonight's tussle in perspective, doesn't it? Keep those good thoughts coming for Harry Williams, please.

It's the final preseason game, which is primarily notable in that it means that THE REGULAR SEASON BEGINS NEXT WEEK! Oh, and it will likely be the last time you see the vast majority of the twenty-two (22) souls who will have to hand in their playbook by Saturday afternoon. So while the starters will play very little, if at all, it's worth keeping an eye on the second, third, and (where ...

Tremendously interesting report in this morning's Chronicle , don't you think?
In the deal negotiated by general manager Rick Smith and agent Joby Branion, Green agreed to give up $2 million in base salary and a $500,000 bonus for a chance to make $3 million in per-game bonuses.
In addition to his $1.8 million base, beginning with the second game — the home opener against Baltimore — Green ...

No surprises here , despite the speculation to the contrary . Tim Carter and Mark Fenton, two (2) guys who were the longest of longshots to begin with, were handed their walking papers. Dunta Robinson was placed on the PUP List, which surprised no one except possibly Dunta himself. And Scott Jackson was sent to IR with a case of plantar fascitis.
You read that last one right. Plantar ...

As Brooke Bentley at the official site notes , today's the first deadline for teams around the NFL to trim their rosters. By 5 p.m., the roster must be whittled to seventy-five (75) players. While the tough decisions are typically made in the final round of cuts, we could nevertheless see some rather big names hit the waiver wire before the day is through.
So I ask you this: Who do you see ...

In a move that should surprise absolutely no
one except his dealer, your Houston Texans advised Jameel
Cook that his services were no longer needed . In a related story, I'm setting the over/under of numbers of bags of Doritos sorrowfully consumed in ...

Scanning the official team site this afternoon, I
came upon a feature in which Jacques Reeves answered
ten (10) questions in the aftermath of Friday night's game . I realize employees of a team-run site can't really take the gloves off when ...
Due to a failed two-point conversion (that I'm betting even Wade Phillips would've rather seen converted if it meant getting to avoid overtime and the risk of injury to anyone on his squad), this year's Governor's Cup returns to Dallas . Make no mistake, though--if not for a couple of costly/timely turnovers by the opposition, this game would've gotten ugly. Here's the final box score .

Early in Friday night's intrastate rivalry game, special teamer WR Harry Williams suffered a serious neck injury. Williams collided with a teammate's knee during the Cowboy's first kickoff return. The result of the collision was a fractured C3 vertebra that left Williams momentarily paralyzed. Now coaches, teammates, and fans are praying for Williams as he begins his road to ...

I think it's an abomination that your Houston Texans don't get to play Dallas in the regular season every year. Instead, we have to settle for an annual preseason matchup that only serves to remind us of what we're missing during the regular season. At least this year's edition comes during the third week of the preseason, when the starters will play more than they do at any other point before ...

Today's article in the Chronicle by Dale Robertson got me thinking. Actually, I've been thinking about this topic a lot since Dunta Robinson went down in November . Not that anyone can replace the guy who has been the heart and soul of the Texans defense since at least 2005, but someone has to start opposite Fred Bennett until Dunta gets back on the field (and that's assuming he even comes ...

In a move that's not really surprising but is nonetheless disappointing, your Houston Texans placed longtime RG Fred Weary on injured reserve earlier today . With Mike Brisiel's emergence and Kasey Studdard's ability to back up multiple positions for a paltry salary, this writing has been on the wall for some time.
Here's hoping Fred recovers and gets back on the field soon, whether it's ...

As always, here are the final stats .
While we still need to temper our reactions (
deep breath...it's only preseason...it's only preseason...exhale ), Saturday night's win at New Orleans left us with plenty to chew on. Let's get going: 1. Matt ...
You'll never believe this, but it looks like Ahman Green's inconsequential injury from the first preseason game seems to be lingering a bit. I for one am shocked. Because if there's one thing we know about Ahman Green from his time in Houston, it's that wild horses can't drag him off the field . Wait...did I say "field?" Because I meant "training table."
Enough of my childish sniping... the ...

Fresh off last week's stirring victory that meant absolutely nothing in the standings , your Houston Texans tangle with the team that was allegedly going to take Mario Williams second overall in the 2006 NFL Draft . Since that time, the Saints have given us a lot of joy ; let's hope the Era of Good Feelings continues tonight.
Leave your pre-game, in-game, and/or post-game thoughts, ...
