In a game referenced to as the "Brady Backup Bowl," it was Hoyer (CLE) vs. Ryan Mallett (HOU), Mallett making his NFL debut. We went into Cleveland and won 23-7. The first score of the game was a touchdown reception by... a guy named Justin James Watt- the cool kids call him J.J. Watt. Cleveland responded with a touchdown drive after Watt was called for his second Roughing the Kicker penalty of the game. Afterwards, the scoring was all done by the Texans. No Arian Foster (groin injury) meant Houston had to rely on Alfred Blue. Blue delivered with a 100+ yard game on 36 carries. This was not exactly a pretty game to watch. Still, it was "Bulls on Parade."
Ryan Mallett did pretty well. I like his field vision as well as his passing. The two things I didn't like were that pick he threw in the end zone, and then that near-pick he threw basically RIGHT AT a Brown defender. He otherwise is the better Ryan in our QB depth chart. I like Ryan Mallett and thought he did pretty well. The former Arkansas Razorback QB passed his first test.
That's the Texans Report. Congratulations to all winners from today's action; better luck next time to all losers. How did your boys to today/tonight?
[UPDATE] Alfred Blue accounted for 36 carries for 156 yards. That's the official stat line. I made the edits to my post as of this update. And recently, I learned "J.J. Watt" as Justin James Watt last night or earlier today.
