By CHRIS DUNCAN AP Sports Writer In a move that most NFL analysts are calling "highly unusual", the Houston Texans announced today that they are seriously considering resting their starters when they face the NY Jets Monday night at Met Life stadium. “I’m really proud of our team and how they’ve been playing. I watched the game tape from the the 49er's ass whooping of the Jets, and I really don't see the need to put our best players on the field Monday night." Texans coach Gary Kubiak said at the teams Monday press conference. He may have a point. Why risk injury to the starters this early in the season? "I heard that Rex Ryan gave his players a few days off, so I figured if they deserve some days off, my guys deserve the week off at least." It's not like the starting squad is not going to travel to New York with the team. They'll be dressed and waiting on the sideline, Kubiak assured reporters. "We might need them to step in...you know, if something flukey happens and the Jets get a field goal or two." Asked if his team is spending any time at practice defending the Jets wildcat package, Coach Kubiak responded with a hardy laugh. "Yeah, we're going to squeeze it in after our mandatory team yoga session". "As it stands now, I'm trying to arrange an earlier charter flight so the team can enjoy a little bit of that New York City night life." Questioned further, the coach had this to say. "Listen, if I didn't think T.J. (Yates) could handle this, he wouldn't be backing up Matt. Actually, I'm kind of hoping that we can get a good look at Beck (Texans third string QB) sometime in the second half". Matt Schaub, caught boarding a plane to Disney World for a few days, had this to say. "The guys are really looking forward to this trip. If they don't get enough rest this week, they can always take a nap during the game. It should be nice and quiet at the stadium." "Frankly, with the way NY Jets players looked yesterday, I'd be surprised if any of them show up Monday night." *above written in J-E-S-T
Rex Ryan, responding to word that the Houston Texans plan to rest their starters for Monday night's game, had this to say. "Hasn't Coach Kubiak seen our games lately? We've been resting our starters since week two".
Jets owner Woody Johnson, at a Romney fund raiser in New York, was asked about his coach's comment... "That's just Rex. He might have made a Freudian slip or something, but we have faith in Mark Sanchez's ability on and off the field." Attending the same Romney fund raiser, Eva Longoria was reportedly overheard saying "He's kinda cute", referring to Texan linebacker Brian Cushing. "Is he single?".
haha - I get the humor and all, but reading the Jets portrayed in such a mocking light....ouch...don't mind me...must be the hangover from the daily media shit sandwich beginning with the 2011 Miami 'huddle' meltdown, the Tebow circus, Cortlandt, etc., etc., ... OTOH, check this out....Jets vs. Texans (1:00 min.): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PfWDQxQkvqE&feature=related ______
you're good at this. HA I already shared that link w 3 people by the time i saw the fine print. totally bugged out.
This is really awesome and should be posted on the other message boards (IE pats, phins, giants) with the the disclaimer on the bottom.
i've learned over the years not to get too down over multimillion dollar athletes, as much as i love my teams. after a good 10 minutes i'm fine again following a bashing.
It truly breaks my heart to see this team was actually once capable of making it's fans happy like this. I miss fat Rex.
If this doesn't get the jets fired up, and pissed off and inspired, then they r all vaginal, and the NY JETS are the laughing stock of the league for years 2 come. (they will still be my team though, 4 the rest of my days)
