The 2019 NFL Season Preview moves up North.
I know somewhere in Chicago where we can stay for a little, I hope this isn’t a burden, thanks for having us over. It’s crazy there are just like a million people living in Detroit eating square pizza and trying not to be associated with Kid Rock and Eminem. My valves are clogged with bratwurst and brandy as I try to find myself in a cascading sea of neon orange hunting outfits....

Check out the Snap Counts from Saturday night!
NOTES:
DeAndre Hopkins and Deshaun Watson got their first action of the preseason in Game #2. Watson played one drive, going 5/7 with 60 yards and a touchdown to his top target DeAndre Hopkins from four yards out. Whitney Mercilus forced a fumble on his first play Saturday night, which shows signs that he is ready to have a monster 2019! Buddy Howell might have found a new home as the...Photo by Daniel Dunn/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images
There are new details regarding the Texans up front.
Last Saturday night, the Texans beat the Lions 30-23 in their second preseason game. With Nick Martin still injured, and Matt Kalil soaking in a milk tub, the Texans trotted out a starting offensive line of Roderick Johnson (LT), Tytus Howard (LG), Zach Fulton (C), Max Scharping (RG), and Seantrel Henderson (RT). This unit worked out better than last week’s effort against the...

Texans take down Lions in preseason game (Houston Chronicle)
NFL...Drafted to be the Texans' left tackle of the future, Tytus Howard has since been moved to left guard (with Matt Kalil winning the left-edge job) and Howard now has a broken a finger. The rookie suffered the break in Houston’s preseason game against Detroit on Saturday night, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle tweets. Coming from a Division I-FCS program, and tasked with learning one of the most difficult positions in the NFL, Howard needs all the reps he can get early on in his...
Earlier this month, it was reported that Matt Kalil was the front-runner to open the season as the Texans’ starting left tackle. However, given that Roderick Johnson started in Kalil’s place in Saturday’s preseason game, that led some to wonder whether there was still an open competition for the job. Head coach Bill O’Brien unequivocally shot down that notion, telling reporters that Kalil will be Houston’s starting left tackle, as Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports. ...

Good win for the Texans in pre-season game two
The Houston Texans were victorious over the Detroit Lions 30 - 23. In their second pre-season game of the 2019 campaign, the Texans held the Lions at bay throughout the game and dominated in spurts.
If you couldn’t be happier to see Deshaun Watson and DeAndre Hopkins tearing up the Lions’ defense on the first offensive series.
Whitney Mercilus getting the strip sack was a thing of beauty. No other player...
Joe Webb was about to be sacked Saturday when he pulled a trick from the magical bag of Patrick Mahomes, switching to his left hand and completing a pass as he fell to the ground. Really, the play was pretty remarkable: Webb has struggled through much of Saturday’s preseason game for the Houston Texans. Yet this play will certainly bring a smile to his face when he and the rest of the quarterbacks watch the film following the game.
With five games on the schedule Saturday, there was plenty of NFL preseason action for fans to get excited about. For example, one of the league’s best backup quarterbacks had a strong showing that should give his team some comfort heading into Week 1. Another quarterback who is known for spectacular plays couldn’t seem to get out of his own way. One of the worst offensive lines in football last year seems to be making progress. We’ll focus on those stories and more examining our top...

Preseason game number two kicks off in four hours.
Preseason game number two is set to kick off at 7 p.m. CDT when the Texans and Lions turn practice into kind of sort of real football.
Will Houston’s offensive line be able to handle a rowdy Lions’ front that includes A’Shawn Robinson, Damon Harrison, Trey Flowers, and blitzing linebackers. Will Joe Webb be able to keep his guts inside his belly? Will DeAndre Hopkins get the chance to sword fight...
The Houston Texans defensive end called returning to Lambeau Field a "dream come true." It's the latest in a series of meaningful trips home.

The Texans and Lions are set to play on Saturday. Here are SIX things to watch for.
Earlier this week the Texans and Lions conjoined together to create a abhorrent faux New England conglomeration—KILL ME. Bill O’Brien and Matt Patricia put on their red jumpsuits with a black webbed pattern, pearl oblong eyes stitched to a red mask that covered their chin dimple and groundhog beard, and they struck their fingers at one another’s football operations....

While it’s still unclear exactly how the Texans will configure their offensive line in 2019, the front five does appear to be rounding into form. At recent practices, Matt Kalil has been taking first-team reps at left tackle while rookie first-round pick Tytus Howard plays left guard, according to Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle. Zach Fulton is filling in at center for the injured Nick Martin, but once Martin returns, Fulton will continue to battle second-rounder Max Scharping...

Was this post done entirely to use the word “sanguine” in a headline? I’ll never tell.
While Texans fans are by and large excited about the imminent arrival of football season, it seems a majority (at least among those who voted, which you can do next time by joining the party here) are markedly less enthused about the team’s chances in 2019. Distress seems to have peaked after what has to be...
