Cowboys @ Texans

[UK Cowboy]

Huge swing game for both teams. Cowboys lose and they are 1-3, Texans lose and they are 0-4. If that doesn't create desperation, I don't know what will.
I think we find a way to get it done. Facing a talented defense, but we should be able to get to Stroud, who is pretty stationary back there. Ill take an ugly 20-17 dub

What a stupid hater McCoy is. I guess he knows nothing about our secondary need.

Another good aspect of this is Downs can play safety until our other safeties get healthy and allow him to move back to his hybrid position.
Who plays next to him this week? No friggin clue. Hopefully Hooker is back this week. Was limited at least yesterday, but didn't hear about today. Other options are Bell (will be the teams choice I imagine), Clark (would be my choice) and maybe Thomas but I can't imagine him being ready to go. Reddy Steward played some safety in TC but I can't imagine them starting him. Wouldn't be surprised if he is promoted though and Kendrick too

Looks like Nico Collins back as expected. But Al-Shaair likely out? I didn't realize that

Lets hope he lives up to being that eraser

Man watching the Texans last year I was so impressed with their defense. I thought they were right there with Seattle on that side of the ball. Im guessing its pretty much the same crew. The Nico Collins thing is big. He can be dangerous. Stroud can look like one of the best one day and turn around and look like he doesnt belong the next. Hard to believe they are 0-3. I just like our offense against anybody. Trust our QB. I also believe Schotty comes out ready this week. He knows he had a bad week. I would have likely marked this a probable loss a month ago. The good thing is I dont see the Eagles flying away with division this year. They may win it but they are going to lose a few more. Pickens is about to join the party I would think.

Joey Porter Jr for peanuts.

No thread for the trade? Just in the next Cowboys game thread? Not sure what has happened to my Cowboys buds.....

A 6th and a 7th rounder? Wild.

But ya gotta pay Pickens and now Porter Jr.

That part.

Came home and drank some beers and then saws it.

The Raiders are 3-0. Rigt now. Feeling pretty good.

2nd and 6th look very similar.

Also found out I have a new work schedule coming off vacay....life is looking pretty sweet right nows.

If JPJ is also a good to go, that sounds like a nice backfield.

My big issue, is he football ready?

I am hoping so. He hasn't played and this is game 4.

I have to think he is good to go, at least on a snap count. He was a full participant in Steelers practices this week and was going to play until he tweaked his back for a day(lol). Even if they only bring him in for 20-25 plays on obvious passing downs he helps. Just man him up on Nico Collins when he is in and we are a better football team

I suspect he may not do that well this week. He can't really be in football shape since he didn't participate in training camp or practice once the season started, So maybe run him out there on passing downs since he is probably on a snap count? Give him a couple weeks before we judge him. Even at 80% he should be an upgrade

Same. The only thing is I believe those practices this week were only walk throughs
