Build Team To Beat Texans?

[Case]

I posted in another thread how I feel the texans could be the most complete team in the nfl and without a doubt in the afc south. Instead of teams building their teams to beat us in the south we must now all build to best the texans. Here's my post

They are cleaning house Ryan is bringing people in that he wants and they are going to have to build this team to best the texans.

The texans are prob the most compete team in the nfl when healthy. We need to rebuild, change philosophy to get big run stopping d players in here and become a good defensive team while also stayingg the offense powerhouse we are use to. Getting luck is a good step in the right direction to secure the qb position in Indy. Then we just build through the draft and FA these next couple years. I think we will see the best colts team we have seen (most complete on defense and offense) in a long time. I think Irsay, Grigson learned a lot from the manning era. You can have the goat at qb but if you don't put a complete team on the field you won't compete well in the playoffs.

I am very excited for the future with all new coaches and assistants

Do you think the texans healthy are the team to beat next year?

build team to BEAT texans. Typing on iPhone sorry for typo if mod could fix title that would be great.

Even with PM they'd give us fits if Schaub, Williams, and Andre were all healthy.

Heck, they'd even plaster the Patriots probably. Definately would have been a very likely SB winner this season if they didn't have their top 3 players gimped or IR'd.

With all players healthy they are the best team IMO. Playmakers everywhere, great rb, o line, front 7 and defensive backfield. They are scary

we need to build a team to beat harbaugh

No we don't

Goal is to win your division

[Coffeedrinker]

You do not build a team to beat a single team, that does not lead to a winning games consistently.

If we can beat the texans we can beat other teams. Your number one goal is to win your division and now I think the division goes through the texans. Your not getting my point and just thinking about it to much.

[MyBeautifulChineseDoll]

No,there not a threat to us.With a healthy manning we win the division and its not even close.The texans weakness is shaub and next year throw in a QB controversy with yates,and they're not even a threat at all.They only reason they won the south this year is simple...we had no MANNING.We'll resume pounding them like cheap steak next year.Heck,they're not even second next year!The titans have j.locker and he looks like a threat.

[The Fish]

It's a fair point that Houston probably has the upper hand on the division next season. The Colts can't just flip a switch and catch up to a team that has been stock piling on top picks because of the Colts owning the South for a decade.

it's a phrase talk show hosts like to use to make themselves sound intelligent. building a team consists of acquiring the best talent you can, then scheming to best employ said talent

Your joking right?

There is absolutely no qb controversy with Yates

[WSO]

Your joking right?

Lol thats what I thought

[Case]

And teams to do build there teams to try and compete better within the division. That's what the trxans did. They can run the ball control the clock they have a great deep threat in Johnson their oline can handle our pass rush they got great lb and Dbacks

[tonychen]

Andre Johnson is getting old, and Matt Schaub has never played an entire season. To be honest they are on paper maybe the best and most complete team in AFC, but the absence of AJ and Schaub is inevitable. They are a team based on many defensive players drafted in the past several years, and Arian Foster is a beast, which means the Texans team we have seen in the playoff may be the best they can put together at playoff time next year. Of course they will be in the playoff again next couple of years.

[WSO]

The Texans coming into next year will be one of the top teams in the NFL. Defensively they are scary, especially that D line, offensively they have a RB that lead the NFL in rushing not too long ago, one of the best WR's, and probably the best O line in the AFC South. Its really hard to point out any weaknesses.

I'm not sold that shaub is unreplaceable...are you?And yates did enough to warrent looking at in camp next year as a possible starter.He played better than expected(outside the playoff stinker).

No, I get your point just fine. And you do not build a team to beat another team even in your division. You build a team based on a philosphy and that philosophy entails if you want to be strong offensively or defensively or balanced, then what type of players you need to do that... do you need a superstar QB or a game manager, do you need a big bruising back or well rounded back or both, big play receivers or possession receivers or combinations of all those.

You don't worry about the teams in your division until it comes time to develop the game plan against them.

AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH their quarterback position is a weaklink.He can't stay healthy and simply not very good when healthy.

Yes I am sold. He is a good qb. Yates didn't win games he just made sure they didn't lose any. 0% chance he takes Matt's job.

Including the playoffs his stats were 3 TD's 6 INTs. His QB rating was lower than Tebows. You think Yates will contend with Schaub? Thats laughable at best. Schaub has had a lot of good seasons and is still a very good quarterback. Pro bowler, throws for 4k+ yards, 90 + rating etc.

I would say more like 50/50 chance that it happens.

You absolutely worry about the teams in your division what are you talking about. You Play them more then anybody every single year. You have to beat them to win the division and make the playoffs. It's pretty simple

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[WSO]

Shaub has missed the same amount of games as Peyton Manning in his career(give or take if you count the playoffs) Does that mean I get to say Manning can't stay healthy and take shots at him?

And he'll miss 6-10 games every year also.He's fragile and injury prone.

The guys missed a TON OF GAMES.Are you serious?He's hurt every year.How am i taking shots at him,when its true.The manning situation is different,because that's really the only time he's ever been actually hurt(outside of a broken jaw in a game he returned to finish).

[shecolt]

Title changed and glad to be of service. I enjoy the "easy" mod jobs.

Don't start that crap again or i'll report you.You always try to derail threads.

The last 3 years he missed 5 games and those 5 games were this year. Having an opinion is fine but having an opinion on something your not knowledgable on is a completely diff situation.

Wow dude calm down ur always so quick to run and tell. Are we in 5th grade? DM him with your problems and talk it over there.

[MyBeautifulChineseDoll]

W....what?

When have they been a threat outside of this year(hurt manning)?The texan fans have been saying that for YEARS.

[MyBeautifulChineseDoll]

No.He already got me in trouble yesterday for it.

How is a divisional foe not a threat?

[Case]

Yeah, what he said.

So when u hear coaches and former coaches say it they are just trying to sound smart? They really don't care what the teams in their division are doing they just gameplan for them when they play them?
