What do you expect from David Johnson tonight?

[Shane]

Makes me think he was working us for the money.

Then the trade and reality set in.

Too bad it takes something like that for him to respond.

Best he has looked in 3 years. Still not his 2016 form or worth his contract though.

What is very telling is how much missing Hopkins is hurting the Texans, lots of drops that just didn't happen when the ball was going to him.

Clyde Edwards-Helaire was such a great pick.

Yeah their offense has looked pathetic.

 

[BACH]

Happy for Johnson. He looks Good.

2 obvious things.

Seeing Johnson play the Best we’ve see in a couple of years perhaps, it becomes clear why he wasn’t a fit in Kliff’s system/wasn’t productive. DJ shows patience and wait for the holes to open. He has looked Good tonight doing that. But in Kliff’s spread system, the RB need to hit the hole much quicker. Not a fit.

Boy, Do the Texans miss Dhop. Looks like another offense

 

[MadCardDisease]

I'm expecting about 110 combined yards and 1 TD. 50 rushing and 60 receiving

109 combined yards and a TD

Nailed it!

 

[Arz101]

WTH, BOB made DJ center piece of offense when Deshaun Watson is the QB? Dude [emoji51]

David had a decent game but I wouldn’t be surprised if he missed 2-3 games due to injury bug

Wish DJ well, good guy but just not the type of RB that thrives in our type of offense. Good game one, but If I recall KC defense doesn’t remind anyone of the 85 Bears

He knows how poopy of a coach Billy boy is.

 

[TJ]

He knows how ****** of a coach Billy boy is.

He was on Jimmy Fallon tonight.

 

[BritCard]

Glad for him. He looked good in the first half especially. Shame about the rest of the Texans office.

I learned 3 things from this game,

Continuity in both coaching and players is going to be key this season more than ever

The Texans O line still suck in pass pro

Clyde Edwards-Hillaire is not a goal line running back


Edit --

Oh and the TV crowd noise was good. Didn't miss fans at all.

 

[iLLmatiC]

Yeah that's what I read later. I read through the comments of that tweet though, it's pretty funny. A lot of salty Texan fans.

 

[JeffGollin]

the little shuttle step made him lethal, is it back?

Check out one of his early 1Q inside carries last night.

dhop goes on at 3:13... free press for our organization. The Roots singer had a nice line about dhop negotiating his own deal.

There was no TV crowd noise. It was only real fan noise last night.

 

[gimpy]

Oh, they started the season last night. Missed it. Now that I think about it, I don't think I missed much.

 

[BritCard]

Ooooh. Sounded pretty normal considering they only had about 15k in. I assumed the TV people were adding to it.

 

[Russ Smith]

he looked good it's definitely a process he had good games last year too, but he looked good so far

 

[jbeecham]

He had 11 carries for 77 yards (7ypc) and the Texans stopped giving him the ball & gave more time to Duke Johnson. The Texans were down significantly in the game so maybe that had something to do with it, but it could just be bad coaching.

 

[Dr. Jones]

I'm very happy for David. Good job sir!

I'm also very happy for us too. It's a win win!

 

[football karma]

just makes you wonder--what the heck happened here over the last couple seasons?


last year he was tentative. Seemed like he ran with no vision, no burst. Didn't make anyone miss.

but last night -- looked a lot like old David Johnson

 

[Chris_Sanders]

I have to say as someone with David Johnson on my dynasty team, I was extremely disappointed he wasn't getting third down work.

Also as someone who had $30 on the Texans +6.5 at the half, Bill O'Brien is a flaming idiot. You take 3 end zone shots from the 36 rather than get in better field goal range.

Then instead of punting, you take the extremely long FG try with a minute left. You miss, giving the best offense in football a short field and a minute left.

It was STUPID and it cost me money
