Justin Forsett rumbles down the side line for 52 yards. Just missed it taking it to the house. I'd say he's won the third-string RB job.

Foster, Tate, Forsett. Damn, that's going to be some run game this year. Even with new starters on the right side of the offensive line.

Justin Forsett finishes it off. 3-yard TD run. LOL, already 60 yards rushing for him on the first series.

7-0 Texans. Sweet first drive. Just hand the rock off John Beck. 82-yard opening drive for the TD.

Vikings are just about to get the ball.

Forsett

Dobbins should start

Posey embarrassing the Vikings

I've been on that escalator probably 100+ times...the dude was riding on the rail, what the fuck did he expect to happen. I mean RIP, the dude was only 25, but that's fucking Darwinism at it's finest.

I felt so bad when I heard about that man's death. It sort of spoiled my excitement for the win. But I'll feel better during the opening game.



It was nice to see DeVier Posey stepping up. draino was right about him. Just needed to be patient. Also Holliday's speed is electric. The only mistake he made in the pre-season was the fumble against the Saints. Other than that, he had three returns for touchdowns.

I'm ready for next Sunday. The first two weeks against the Dolphins and Jaguars will be fun. Hopefully we can start 2-0 before the first real test at Denver Week 3. The Texans have never started 3-0 before and the only thing standing in the way are the Dolphins, Jaguars and Peyton Manning.

didnt get to watch the game, but that td makes me drool. posey>

Justin Forsett made the team. He earned that third-string RB job. He may steal carries away from Tate throughout the season.



HOUSTON — Kick returner Trindon Holliday made the Houston Texans’ roster, but quarterback Case Keenum was released on Friday. Holliday, a 5-foot-5 former LSU track star, secured his spot on the team after returning his third kick for a touchdown Thursday night in Houston’s last preseason game.

“Trindon’s a lot better football player than he was the last two years,” coach Gary Kubiak said of Holliday, who also plays receiver. “Trindon can go play on the offensive side of the ball ... I think he’s a much more complete player as far as us finding ways to use him as a player. But what he did throughout the course of this preseason was exceptional and his spot on this team was well earned.”

The Texans chose John Beck as their third-string quarterback, which left Keenum, an undrafted rookie who set NCAA passing records at the University of Houston, without a spot on the team.

“John had a good camp,” Kubiak said. “I thought last night he played exceptional. He gives us some security there. He knows our system moving forward.”

Kubiak said they might sign Keenum to the practice squad to add depth at the position after Houston was left to look outside the team for backups last season when its top two quarterbacks were lost to season-ending injuries.

The Texans also traded cornerback Sherrick McManis to Chicago in exchange for fullback Tyler Clutts.

“We think he’s got a lot of ability and he’s a young, ascending player,” Kubiak said of Clutts. “So we got a lot of catching up to do. We’ll get him in here tomorrow and get him started, but we think he can help this team.”

Houston also released veteran fullback Moran Norris and former Oklahoma standout wide receiver Juaquin Iglesias.

Also released on Friday were tight ends Logan Brock and Philip Supernaw, defensive ends Keith Browner and Mitch King, linebackers D.J. Bryant, Delano Johnson, Shawn Loiseau and Rennie Moore, nose tackles Hebron Fangupo and David Hunter, running back Jonathan Grimes, receiver Jeff Maehl, tackle Nathan Menkin, safety Eddie Pleasant, center Cody Wallace and guard Cody White.

Hopefully the Texans can sign Case Keenum. Jonathan Grimes, Hebron Fangupo and Jeff Maehl to the practice squad if they all clear waivers. Grimes had such a great pre-season so I doubt he'll clear waivers. Forsett was just sensational is all.
