News & Notes: Orakpo Wants Texans to Take a Pass

Rak grew up an Oilers fan. Heh, I'm pretty sure Houstonians hate Dallas(google 'houston fans hate dallas').

Orakpo grew up in Houston and from 2001-04 he played football for Lamar High School in the city. Lamar’s team name was the “Redskins.”

“My high school coach told me, ‘Once you’re a Redskin, you’re always a Redskin,’” Orakpo said.

I didnt know that.
Excellent!

It doesn't surprise me that analysts are picking the Texans. They looked good in week one. But remember, they've built their team around beating the Colts. They can air it out, but can they grind it? That's what I'm looking forward to seeing.

As for our offense, it's hard to say if we looked mediocre because Dallas is good or if we're just not in tune yet. We'll see.

The Texans had over 250 yards rushing last week. I'd say they can grind it.

I say we go out and beat the damn Texans later on today.

Fed Ex needs to rock like it did last weekend.

I am sorry the Colts do not have the defense that the Redskins do. Foster will not get off anything near what he did last week. As far as Schuab airing it out. I am sure we can bring the heat on him and force him to make mistakes.

KS will have good insight as to the offense they run.

As well as the defense. I fully expect this to be another close game in which we win just for the simple fact that we are at home.
