Brandon Keith got absolutely railroaded on that play.

First play looked like a big gain but Hightower let the only man get him. Then it was ugly.

Keith got manhandled by Williams on that rush.

I like the tv comment, maybe a little more awareness from Leinart? What was he going to do, Williams threw Keith forward where he wanted to step up and then drilled Matt, he'd either have hit Keith or been hit by Williams.

That's what I used to expect from the offensive line 5-10 years ago. Boy was that ugly.

Yeah first Matt doesn't audible out of the run on 2nd down even though Houston was showing blitz right at the gap they were running to, then Mario Williams lands Brandon Keith on his butt.

Damn that was a great pass rush by Williams.

I'll give Keith a pass on that for now. Mario Williams has made some PB tackles look bad.

I like Hightower, but please break a tackle just 1 time big guy.

That was a textbook tackle and hit square in the chops. Nobody in the NFL breaks that tackle.

the real question is that even in a preseason game, what is Miller doing on Andre Johnson?

good coverage by Miller, cut his ass

HIs only value ever has been on kick returns, that's his chance to make the roster IMHO.

I'm used to seeing #47 get burned in coverage though.

I really don't even think he is going to see the field because DRC, Mc, Toler, Adams are all ahead of him on the depth charge. Good job houston, your best receiver beat our 5th string corner.

I hear you, but it takes two to make a perfect tackle. Beanie would have had the stiff arm out and either broke that tackle or dragged the defender forward another 3 yards.

Why is that we are incapable of just coming out in preseason and looking decent. I know it doesn't matter, butt seems like we always come out and look terrible.

True but that play was blocked well, there was one guy on that side of the field and Tim couldn't make him miss, didn't even really try just tried to run him over. That was my objection on that play in the NFL sometimes the RB has to make the first man miss.

No biggie everybody - this is what the pre-season is for. Frankly, I'd rather the offense get some more reps, so it's all good.

And there goes LSH giving it his all!
