HOUSTON -- Gary Kubiak said Trindon Holliday had to do something spectacular in the preseason to make the Houston Texans final roster. BenJarvus Green-Ellis Youth Jersey . How is this, Coach? Holliday returned a punt 87 yards for a touchdown, a week after scoring on a 90-yard kickoff return, and Matt Schaub threw a touchdown pass to Lestar Jean in the Texans 20-9 win over the San Francisco 49ers on Saturday night. The 5-foot-5 Holliday was a sixth-round draft pick in 2010, but missed his rookie year with a left thumb injury. He was hindered by a hamstring injury in training camp last year and spent most of the season on the practice squad. With a glut of receivers ahead of him, including two incoming draft picks, Holliday knew when training camp began that his best chance to survive the final cut was to excel as a return specialist. So far, so good. "Its two weeks in a row," Kubiak said. "We still have a couple weeks to go, but hes definitely making a tremendous case for himself." Holliday finished with 106 yards on four punt returns, and 61 yards on two kickoff returns. Early in the fourth quarter, Holliday caught Andy Lees punt at the Texans 13, found a seam along the sideline and sprinted to the end zone. "Coach had told me to line up on the 10," Holliday said, "and normally when you line up on the 10, its a fair catch but he said the punter was going to give us a knuckle ball. He said, Dont fair catch it. Just try to make something happen. It feels good, but I still got a lot of work to do." Schaub completed 11 of 14 passes for 128 yards in two quarters, near-perfect in his second game since fracturing his right foot in Week 10 last season. The Texans (No. 6 in the AP Pro32) held the 49ers to 267 yards and stopped the 49ers twice on fourth down. Alex Smith completed 5 of 9 passes for 49 yards for the 49ers (No. 4). He was sacked twice by the Texans first-string defence, which seemed to bring pressure every time Smith dropped back. "Most self-inflicted by me," Smith said. "On the first play, a miscommunication with me and the other 10 guys in the huddle, and resulted in a hit. Then down the line, I tried to make a couple of plays by getting out of the pocket, and theyre good up front." The 49ers led the NFL in rushing defence last season and bottled up Arian Foster until the leagues leading rusher in 2010 weaved 24 yards to the San Francisco 12 late in the first half. Foster carried 10 times for 46 yards in the opening two quarters. 49ers running back Brandon Jacobs left in the first quarter with a left knee injury after a hit by Texans cornerback Kareem Jackson, and second-round pick LaMichael James limped off in the fourth quarter. San Francisco coach Jim Harbaugh said Jacobs will "miss a little time," but that his injury isnt serious. He said James is fine and is expected back at practice on Monday. Randy Moss made three catches for 24 yards, his first receptions of the preseason. "Theres always good, theres always some bad so well just keep climbing," Harbaugh said. "Thats the thing were going to need to do right now. It was a grind-it-out kind of game." Schaub went 4-for-4 on Houstons opening drive, and Shayne Graham booted a 48-yard field goal for a 3-0 lead. Graham is competing with fifth-round draft pick Randy Bullock for the kicking job. Schaub started the next series with a deep pass to Johnson, who outleaped two defenders to make the catch. The drive stalled there, and Bullock missed a 51-yard field-goal attempt. "Yards are hard to come by against that type of group," Schaub said. "But youve just got to stick to your plan and stay true to who you are and try to find plays in their defence. We were able to do that." Colin Kaepernick replaced Smith with nine minutes left in the half, and immediately completed a short pass to Moss. Harbaugh said this week that Kaepernick is leading the competition for the backup role against Scott Tolzien and Josh Johnson, who both played in the second half. Former Houston Cougars quarterback Case Keenum came in with seven minutes left in the fourth quarter. The undrafted Keenum, who became the Football Bowl Subdivisions career leader in yards passing (19,217) and touchdown passes (155) in college, is competing with off-season pickup John Beck for the No. 3 quarterback role in Houston. NOTES: LB Aldon Smith, who injured his right hip in the preseason opener, and CB Perrish Cox were among the inactive players for San Francisco. ... Derek Newton, a seventh-round draft pick in 2011, started at right tackle for Houston. Newton is competing with Rashad Butler for the starting role vacated when the Texans waived veteran Eric Winston in the off-season. Antoine Caldwell started at right guard for the second straight game, as he continues to compete with rookie Brandon Brooks for the starting role there. ... Linebacker Eric Bakhtari led the 49ers with seven tackles. Jermaine Gresham Womens Jersey . - After a listless first period, the St. Andy Dalton Youth Jersey . Holland (6-4) entered the game with a 5.05 ERA and only one scoreless start in 2012, which was when he threw six innings at Baltimore on May 10. Friday, he threw 7 2-3 innings, struck out four, walked two and didnt allow a run. http://www.bengalsteamstore.com/geno-atkins-jerseys . 42 on Sunday. Robinson broke baseballs colour barrier when he played for the Brooklyn Dodgers on April 15, 1947. There will be pregame ceremonies at big league ballparks where games are played Sunday, and there will be specially marked bases and lineup cards. Dre Kirkpatrick Womens Jersey . K.D., its Metta World Peace against James Harden, and its probably the most anticipated NBA playoff matchup this season as the Los Angeles Lakers get set to square off with the Oklahoma City Thunder in the Western Conference semifinals. BenJarvus Green-Ellis Womens Jersey . Williams played through a bad back that forced her to get treatment and reduced her second serve to 63 mph (101 kph) in the third set.(Sports Network) - The Toronto Blue Jays will pin their hopes on righty Henderson Alvarez, who is 3-6 with a 4.30 ERA, against the Kevin Youkilis-less Red Sox in Boston Monday night. The Jays could have a boost in their lineup, they recalled former starting 1B Adam Lind from Triple-A Las Vegas on Sunday. The 28-year-old batted .395 with eight homers and 29 RBIs in 31 games in the batter-friendly PCL. OF Ben Francisco was also re-instated from the 15-day disabled list. To make room, the Jays optioned first baseman David Cooper and utility player Mike McCoy while moving injured pitcher Sergio Santos to the 60-day DL. Alvarez will look to get back on track against the Red Sox, he did not get a decision last Monday in Milwaukee, despite giving up six runs in only four innings of work in his teams 7-6 loss. Alvarez lost to the Red Sox back on June 1 and is 0-1 in three starts against them with a 2.45 ERA. Toronto was denied a series sweep against the Miami Marlins on Sunday, falling 9-0. Colby Rasmus had a pair of hits for the Blue Jays, who had won six of their previous eight games. Jesse Chavez (0-1) was doomed by a couple bad innings, yielding six runs and seven hits in six frames. The Red Sox, meanwhile, begin life without the excitable Youkilis as they open a three-game set against the Jays at Fenway Park. Youkilis was dealt to the Chicago White Sox on Sunday following the Red Soxs 9-4 win over the Atlanta Braves. Youkilis became expendable thanks to the emergence of third baseman Will Miiddlebrooks. Nate Clements Jersey. After sitting for three games, Youkilis started on Sunday and went 2-for-4. Following his RBI triple with two outs in the seventh, he was taken out of the game and shook hands with several players before stepping back out of the dugout and tipping his hat to the fans he played in front of since 2004. "Someone was looking down at him because that was the perfect way to come out," said Boston manager Bobby Valentine. Middlebrooks is 10-for-16 with three homers and 10 RBI in the first six games of this homestand and leads all AL rookies with nine homers and 34 RBI this season. "The way Middlebrooks was playing, he needs to be in the lineup every day," general manager Ben Cherington said. "Bobbys done a good job of shuffling." Boston has won nine of its last 11 games, Getting the call for the Red Sox tonight will be lefty Felix Doubront, who has won four of his last five starts. Doubront beat the Miami Marlins on Wednesday, but was not impressive in the 15-5 win, as he allowed four runs and nine hits in six innings. Still, he improved to 8-3 to go along with a 4.31 ERA. "My teammates have scored a lot of runs to help me in those kinds of situations when I give up runs," Doubront said. "That helps me. Were a great team." Doubront, who has gone six innings in nine of 12 starts since April 2, is 1-0 in two starts against the Jays this season and has pitched to a 3.18 ERA in those outings. Toronto has split its six games with the Red Sox this season. ' ' ' |
