Grade the team/units

Overall Grade: D

Defense: C+
Did well up until the 4th quarter when Houston ran the 8 minute offense for 10 minutes. At that point they were probably worn out from being on the field all day. I was about ready to dub them the Bend AND Break defense after Andre Johnson's TD, but I guess young safeties will let that happen from time to time. Hopefully the unit will improve – especially after Jared Allen returns. I liked what I saw of Boone and Tank.

Offense: D
Our wide receivers were a pretty sad unit BEFORE Kennison went down, but after that they were just plain ugly. Hard to say if they were never open, or Huard just didn't want to look downfield, or if we just have a moron calling the plays. Huard threw a few bad passes and looked like a 34 year old journeyman whose been passed over a lot. The line did an okay job and I believe in a month they'll be in good shape.

Special Teams: D
Coverage units did well, and Colquit was probably our MVP today. Hemlock did well on his two kick offs, but missing that gimme is a killer. Return units did respectably well other than the fumble.

Coaching: F
Having to take a timeout just after you've gotten a first down from defensive encroachment because you can't get a play called in time is one of the most pathetic things I've seen. I saw Huard look pretty frustrated waiting for a play several times. The team looked good the first few drives on both sides of the ball... and then shat itself. An uninspired performance against a not very strong team.
