Rockets Ready For Launch ...but what about Stevie?

1:59 PM Mon, Oct 29, 2007 |
Matt Musil

The Rockets got down to their league mandated 15 man roster Monday by waiving Center Jackie Butler, Guard John Lucas, Forward Justin Reed and Guard Bob Sura. Little Luke got caught up in a numbers game after averaging only 3 opints a game this pre-season.

Reed was part of the Mike James deal. Butler was a throw-in as part of the deal that brought Luis Scola over from the Spurs and Bob Sura hadn't played the past two seasons after suffering a ruptured disc in his back in November of 2005.

Okay ...that takes care of all the roster moves ....but what about Stevie Franchise?? And how come he n...



Kubiak Says It Looks Like Monday

1:48 PM Thu, Oct 25, 2007 |
Matt Musil

Texans head coach Gary Kubiak walked off the practice field and told reporters that the indication that he has received is that the Texans/Chargers game will be played Monday night in San Diego. He repeated his belief that the biggest concern has to continue to be the citizens in the San Diego area .....but he believes the game will be played Monday night in San Diego. If that happens he also added the team will definatelyl return to Houston before playing at Oakland the following week. It has been widely speculated that the Texans may stay on the west coast if they had to push the Chargers game to Monday night....



Matt Schaub Update

12:08 PM Thu, Oct 25, 2007 |
Matt Musil

While we wait with the Texans to hear the word out of San Diego about this weekend's game .... I can tell you this. Matt Schaub and Sage Rosenfels were both throwing passes during position stations while we were able to shoot video today ......and then when the Texans went to 11 on 11 drills ..... Schaub was the first quarterback in .....followed by Rosenfels. A lot of things can happen between now and gametime .....but judging by the way he's moving around in practice ..... I wouldn't be at all surprised if Schaub is the starter versus the Chargers.... and not many people around here thought that could happen a ...



Texans Begin Practice Still Wondering

11:58 AM Thu, Oct 25, 2007 |
Matt Musil

The Houston Texans began practice at 11:50am still not knowing for sure where they would be playing their upcoming game against the San Diego Chargers.

All the players I spoke with this morning were adamant about being ready to play no matter where the game is. They all understand that San Diego does not want to come to Houston to play this game. The Chargers are only 3 and 3 on the season after being picked by many to be Super Bowl contenders so they need to win every game.

Of course the same can be said for the 3 & 4 Texans. No one was picking them for the Super Bowl but after starting out 2...



Kubiak says Schaub Day to Day

4:35 PM Mon, Oct 22, 2007 |
Matt Musil

Texans head coach Gary Kubiak says injured quarterback Matt Schaub is day to day after seeing doctors again today. Kubiak says everything came back negative ...the X-rays and the MRI but Schaub is hurting. His ankle, his back and his hip are all sore along with his thigh bruise that he had been nursing for a few weeks now. The team was deeply concerned about Schaub's hip ....but again the MRI was negative.

Kubiak says he has no problem if he has to start Sage Rosenfels at San Diego. Kubiak says the team is looking for another quarterback. The search will begin with free agent rookie Jared Zabransky. Z...

I'll have a live report on 11 News at 5:30pm ....and a taped report on 11 News at 10. Hope to see you then.

...



Vince Young never takes his cap off

3:04 PM Sun, Oct 21, 2007 |
Matt Musil

Number 10 ... Titans quarterback Vince Young is still ailing from a strained quadraceps muscle ...and even though Kerry Collins was sacked early and the fumble was returned for a score .....Young never took off his Titans baseball cap.

Collins did a good job of running the conservative Titans attack ...just like head coach Jeff Fisher wanter ...and the Titans are headed to a victory.

You know Vince wanted to play in front of his family and hometown friends ....but I'm sure he's happy his team came to town and got the victory just the same.

...



Crowd dissappointed and leaves early

3:00 PM Sun, Oct 21, 2007 |
Matt Musil

The official attendance today ..again was 70,734. It's something like the 56th straight sellout in team history. But what the NFL doesn't do anymore is list no-shows. And the Texans had plenty today. When fans figured out Vince Young wasn't playing today ....they stayed away in droves.

Bironas just kicked another field goal ...his record tying 7th of the day.
It was from 29 yards out. Titans are up 35 to 22.

Matt Musil

This game is over. David Anderson was returning the punt for the Texans ..and the 2nd year player out of Colorado State .....muffed the punt and Tennessee recovers at the Texans 33.
Jacoby Jones must be hurt. Anderson was the only return man left on the sideline.

...



Travis Johnson was having a good game!!

2:48 PM Sun, Oct 21, 2007 |
Matt Musil

Former 1st round draft pick Travis Johnson had 2 passes knocked down to his credit ...and a big tackle on this last running play ....but now the big man is down on the field shaken up. He now leaves under his own power. The defense has played a lot of plays today due to the ineffective offense.

...

2:44 PM Sun, Oct 21, 2007 |

Nice pass play .....and the Texans are making it respectable on the scoreboard.

It's going to be a tough go from here.

End of the 3rd quarter and it looks like it's over!!

2:21 PM Sun, Oct 21, 2007 |
Matt Musil

It's the end of the 3rd ...and already one gets the feeling that the Texans are just playing for respectability on the scoreboard. If that's possible.
Texans are driving ....but they trail 32 to 7 at the start of the 4th qtr.

...



Rosenfels completes a pass

2:17 PM Sun, Oct 21, 2007 |
Matt Musil

Sage finally gets a completion to his own team ...and the remaining fans .... give him a loud mock cheer!!

This game has reached a new low in boooooring football.

Texans offense continues to be non-existant

2:01 PM Sun, Oct 21, 2007 |
Matt Musil

Texans have mustered only 34 yards of offense thus far. 21 rushing ...and 13 passing.
P-U!! The fans are booing each time the Texans can't get a first down.

...



Matt Schaub out with Hip and ankle

1:59 PM Sun, Oct 21, 2007 |
Matt Musil

Matt Schaub stays on the sideline ...with a hip and ankle inury.
His return is questionable at best. It looks like it'll be Sage Rosenfels the rest of the way ..and he has struggled mightily thus far.

Texans vs Titans Halftime

1:32 PM Sun, Oct 21, 2007 |
Matt Musil

The Texans have looked out of sync all day long offensively ....and the Kerry Collins led offense has made the Texans defense look bad .... all day long.

The Texans have had one good play on defense ....when DeMeco Ryans sacked Collins stripped him of the ball and returned it for a touchdown ....other than that ....they've been sleep walking all day long.

Rob Bironas caps off the 1st half scoring with a 28 yard field goal.
Titans lead at the half 22 to 7.

Matt Musil

Titans with the ball and a two point lead ....9 to 7.

It's a battle of backup quarterbacks with Collins for Tennessee and Rosenfels for the Texans. Thus far neither has impressed .....but thanks to the great defensive play by Ryans the Texans lead.

Nice strike downfield ....by Collins to Roydell Williams to the Texans 10 yard line.
1st and goal to go.

Mario Williams is horrible at this point. Can't get a pass rush ...and gets killed on the running plays ....always gets blocked out ...with one exception today.

11:46 left in 2nd qtr

National Spotlight on Local Game

2:13 PM Wed, Oct 17, 2007 |
Matt Musil

Thursday night Cy-Falls High School takes on Cy-Fair High School in a nationally televised football game on ESPN2. This game was an attractive matchup for the Disney Sports channel for many reasons .......but the main one was the chance to showcase Cy-Fair running back Sam McGuffie versus a top-notch opponent. Cy-Falls was a State hampionship Finalist last year.

The good news for everyone who wants to either watch the game on TV or attend the game at the Berry Center ....is that McGuffie is once again healthy ...and capable of putting on a great show. Sam rushed for 287 yards last week and 273 yards the...



Roger Leaves Door Open

Matt Musil

Roger Clemens is back in Houston. He hates it that he isn't still playing baseball this post-season ....but he's also leaving the door wide-open for a possible return next season. Clemens was out at the Administaff Small Business Classic Pro_Am watching his wife Debbie play. He told me he's glad he went back to New York and tried to go to the World Series ....despite falling short. "No question we turned the team around. I batled through injuries over my last 8 to 10 starts but that's to be expected at my age." Clemens said he went back to New York in large part to help guys like Alex Rodriguez get "the ring." ...



Athletic Trainers Honored

Matt Musil

At the annual Bayou Bucket luncheon today retired trainers Tom Wilson of UH and Alan Eggart of Rice were honored for all their years of service. These two great men took care of generations of young athletes as they passed through our local schools and they did so with care and class.

I have known both gentlemen since I arrived in Houston back in 1980. No one ....and I mean no one was more loyal to their respective programs than these two. I got to know Tom well during the Phi Slamma Jama days ...... but his athletes knew him best .... especially the football players for his off=season workouts. As h...

Matt Musil

Dexter Wynn ....had a big hole to the left side ...but instead of running to daylight ....he ran into the darkness of the Miami defenders and the Texans will take over at the 34 yard line instead of farther down field. I think the Texans need to pickup Darren Sproles of the Chargers. He can return kicks and is a good little running back. He's running 3rd string last I checked.
You heard it here first.

Trent Green Concussion

Trent Green is out of the Texans/Miami game due to a concussion. It was just announced in the Reliant Stadium press box. Green was attempting to block Texans defensive lineman Travis Johnson and his head hit Johnson in the knee. Green lay motionless on the ground .....while Johnson stood over hiim and taunted him. apparantly Johnson thought Green was going for his knee ....but whatever the case ....because of his taunting action ....the Dolphins got a first down. There should have been a big loss on the play. Green was taken off the field on a stretcher .....after play was halted for nearly 15 minutes.
