Texans/49ers

[scooter4910]

Texans just took an 8-0 lead on the first drive.

 

Antoine Bethea made a nice stop but not enough.

[scooter4910]

First 9ers drive two penalties (half the distance to the goal), incompletion and Kaepernick went out of bounds....4 and out.

 

Really hope the 9ers crush the Texans.

That Alfred Blue from the Texans looks like an animal.

[scooter4910]

4th and 1 Texans going for it....just short.

 

First and goal, 2nd and goal, Blue sacked in the backfield, PI Texans back to 1st and goal.

 

First and goal, 2nd and goal, 3rd and goal....going for it...Texans stopped again at the 1

 

Over four minutes spent within the five yard line and 8 attempts to get in with no success.....wow.

[scooter4910]

49ers just made a 99 yd drive with a rugby player TE making most of that....and the touchdown.

 

Hear that Adongo.

He played rugby league. that is a different sport to rugby union. plus they are trialling him at rb pr and kr. a lot of people on this side of the world are really hoping he makes it as it would make more people over here aware of the nfl

He looked good 5 carries 63 yards the big 53 yard run. He had a nice 33 yard KO return handled 2 punt returns 11,13 yards.

Wasnt bad for his first ever game of football.

i dont like comparisons with adongo though for two reasons.

1. they played different sports.

2. hayne was a true superstar at rugby league while adongo was a nobody in rugby union.

There is no comparison only on this board

49ers are going to be playing for a top 10 pick, IMO.

 

Texans' passing O will be better than we give them credit for, that is my take on it.

Yeah and no with the different sports thing... there's as much overlap as there is difference but I know the point you're making. I'd go more with they played very different positions. Point number 2 is spot on, and Haynes was very good with running ball in hand.

It's preseason, don't know why people take preseason so seriously.

I agree,  But if i started saying Babe Ruth was a great softball player, im sure most Americans would correct me and tell me that softball and baseball are different sports

I'm a little biased as I played Union, "proper" Rugby
