Texans’ Jadeveon Clowney out for game against Packers

“If it limits him, obviously, that’ll be a big plus for us”. Houston has never been as good as their record suggests, and their two-game losing streak is likely just the tip of the iceberg for the team. A Packers win and Lions loss would blow the NFC North wide open. This Texans defense has had to bail out the offense all season thus far, and it’s quite possible they could do it again Sunday. Ryan was close to returning last Monday night.

According to Packers.com, Rodgers took very limited reps in practice on Thursday. “The field’s shorter, the defenses don’t have as much room to cover, so we know it’s harder to score in those positions, but we have to”. That’s the reality of it. A hobbled Rodgers would certainly help their cause as they cling to a half-game lead over Tennessee and a one-game lead over Indianapolis in the AFC South. “He is a big target at 6′-5”, 265 and is having a breakout season. It has a whopping 20 players on its injury report, though the only starter who did not participate at Wednesday’s practice because of injury was linebacker John Simon (chest).

The Texans triumphed in the snow at Green Bay in December of 2008. Not only did the team play that stretch without starting corners Demetri Goodson and Damarious Randall for all but one game between them, both of the team’s starting inside linebackers have missed time as well as star pass rusher Clay Matthews. A week before that, I no doubt would have chosen the Texans to win Sunday in Lambeau Field. “Some swelling, bruising. But we got an X-ray and nothing is broken, (so) that’s good”. I take incredible pride in what we do defensively and I take ultimate responsibility for what we do on defense. If he is going to improve he will need a clean pocket and Duane Brown to handle the Packers leading sacker Nick Perry. In his first 10 seasons, the Packers had a total pass-run distribution of 63-37. This could be the game for Christine Michael to make an impact.

“We’ll see how he comes through today”, McCarthy said of Martinez. He was near-perfect in Philadelphia last week, and I expect another excellent performance at home on Sunday. Miller, whom the Texans signed to a four-year, $26 million contract from Miami in the off-season, ranks fifth in the National Football League with 881 yards rushing. During their past six outings, he has a 67% completion rate, 1904 yards thrown, 17 touchdowns and just three interceptions. Capers said. “Those three, four plays, whether it’s sacking the quarterback and turning it into a longer-yardage situation, or coming up with the ball and taking a possession or two away from a team, we’re hoping we’re trending the right way with that”. “We understand that. That’s part of the deal”. Four-play scoring drives are more common against this team than 12-play scoring drives.or at least it seems that way. I can’t really worry about the one guy.

I think Eddie Lacy has already played his last game for the Packers.

“He played well against Oakland”.
