I'm ready for tonight's pre-season game at Minnesota. It starts in six more hours. I'll be watching it on the local telecast ABC-13. Andre Johnson and Arian Foster aren't playing but we should see a lot of DeAndre Hopkins and D.J. Swearinger. Also Ben Tate is supposed to start and see some carries tonight.

nope no Andre tonight...hopefully we see what hopkins is made of and a taste of what he'll be bringing to the table.

15 minutes till game time

Excellent punt by Shane Lechler. I hope I'm not saying that a lot this season.

Nice TD catch for DeAndre Hopkins. Tied the game at 10. Nice leaping ability.

wow deandre hopkins

Nice play-action pass to Lestar Jean for the Touchdown. Case Keenum fooled the defense with the fake hand off to the right and a nice bootleg to his left.

20-13 Texans with 10:26 left in the game. I didn't expect them to win tonight but they have the lead.

Ray Graham, the undrafted rookie running back out of Pittsburgh with a nice Touchdown run.

27-13 Texans with 4:31 left in the game.

It was after Deji Karim and Dennis Johnson ran the ball well. The Texans have some real competition at the third-string RB spot.

We should just try and trade Ben Tate, who is always injured. Go with two of these young guys.

Big 17-yard, first-down run by Ray Graham to seal the win. Texans just kneeling it down now. 27-13 win at Minnesota.

Also Cierre Wood had a nice game with 10 carries and 59 rushing yards. Texans have way too many backs fighting for a job.

Ben Tate left the game hobbling off the field with an injury, likely his groin, after two catches in the first quarter. He's going to lose his job if he's not careful with all of those injuries.
