Andre Johnson on pace for third 1,500-yard season

With 69 catches for 1,058 receiving yards, Johnson is on pace for 1,539 yards this season. It would be the third 1,500-yard season of his career and the first since he topped 1,500 in back-to-back seasons in 2008 and 2009. Johnson would tie Marvin Harrison for the second-most 1,500-yard seasons in NFL history, behind only Jerry Rice (4).

Five games into the season, it didn’t look like Johnson would come close. But after a six-game tear that rivals any in his prolific career, he’s well on his way. Andre Johnson’s 461 receiving yards last week against Jacksonville and Detroit was the best two-game stretch in NFL history. The five-time Pro Bowler has averaged 129.2 receiving yards in his last six games, 10.1 yards more than Detroit’s Calvin Johnson (119.1) and at least 24 yards more than everyone else (Atlanta’s Julio Jones ranks third since Week 6 with 95.0 receiving yards per game). Andre Johnson, who ranked twenty-sixth prior to last week's record-breaking outburst, now ranks third in the league in receiving yards behind Calvin Johnson (1,257) and Reggie Wayne (1,105).

The superlatives don’t stop there for Andre Johnson, who is having a remarkable bounce back season after missing seven games in an injury plagued 2011 season. He extended his franchise record of consecutive games with a reception to 93 games. He also passed Hall of Fame running back Marshall Faulk (726) for 26th on the all-time receptions list and passed up Keyshawn Johnson (10,571) for 31st on the all-time receiving yards list.

Andre Johnson is getting the last laugh in 2012. In his tenth season, he is continually setting or breaking his own franchise records, breaking NFL records, and displaying the skills that have made him one of the league’s best players over the last decade. He became the first Texan to play ten seasons with the team and no doubt will be the first Texan enshrined into the Hall of Fame once he’s done. As of right now he’s far from done.

Looks like everything went well during the Wednesday practice yesterday. Gary Kubiak said Ben Tate will see some carries against the Titans this Sunday. Johnathan Joseph will start after missing the last game, and both Bradie James and Tim Dobbins will be back to starting at inside linebacker. Whitney Mercilus will start at outside linebacker replacing Brooks Reed.

The only other guy ruled out is Derek Newton. It looks like Ryan Harris will start at Right Tackle alongside Ben Jones at Right Guard. I'm confident enough in Harris to get the job done. He was once an elite Tackle prospect. I actually thought he would eventually start over Derek Newton at some point but it's a shame it came because of injury.

The Texans need to kick the Titans ass on Sunday and get to 11-1. Get the defense back on track and smash them all game long with our elite offense.

It's time to come alive before the big showdown with the Patriots next Monday Night! That's going to be an epic battle at Foxboro.

If Dre can get 175-200~, I think he'll get 1.5K again. Most people couldnt believe he'd post those numbers again.

And didnt know this, but Foster broke 1K. 1064 yards, 12 rushing TDs, 4.0 ypc. 2 receiving TDs. I want a great game from him on Sunday. Hes been good but I dont think hes been great.

Hard to believe we'd be 10-1 after two seasons ago.

I just read the Fan thread post that was closed... Big Bullah was funny as shit in that thread... good read.

But on other news... Really hoping to see a strong defensive showing this week. I highly doubt it, but it would get my mind doing better on our team if they could.

JoJo is out for Sundays game, and i believe Ball is questionable. We might be seeing some play by our second years.. The one thing i will be looking for above all else....

Whether or not the Texans and get some Pass rush going this week, that has been one big concern of mine week in week out. There have been other problems, but it just appears that no one can get any pressure on the opposing QB's other then Watt...

I'm just disappointed that Johnathan Joseph isn't going to play after having a setback on Thursday with his hamstring.

Johnathan Joseph (hamstring) is out for Sunday's game against the Titans, Tania Ganguli of the Houston Chronicle reports. (about 18 hours ago)

I forgot to post that earlier.

That's going to be two straight games missed for our pro bowl cornerback. We can get by against the Titans (maybe) without him but if he isn't ready next Monday Night against Tom Brady and the Patriots, I'm going to be awfully worried.

But oh well, all we can do is try to get the win tomorrow against Tennessee.

At least Ben Tate is good to go for tomorrow's game.

Ben Tate practiced fully Thursday and still on scheduled to return from a hamstring injury in Week 13 against Tennessee, the Texans' official web site reports. (about 1 day ago)

We're slowly getting to where we need to be but there is still five games left to get this mess right before the playoffs start. It would be amazing if this team is 11-1 after tomorrow's game. They have played zero defense since the Bears game, outside of J.J. Watt of course.

Shaun Cody is playing this week, so at least we have that. Sucks JoJo isnt playing, but rather him to stay healthy than get injured before the Patriots game.
