Posted by Josh KatzowitzWhen somebody mentions Houston, what do you think about? The Texans, of course. The Astrodome, maybe. All the Tex-Mex you want to eat, perhaps. The Houston Toros of Bad News Bears fame, obviously.
But ask Jaguars tackle Terrance Knighton -- who CBSSports.com’s Pete Prisco thinks is kind of a badass -- what he thinks about Houston and … well … wow.
"I hate Houston; I hate the Texans," said Knighton, via the Florida Times Union. "That’s probably the team I hate most in the league. I don’t know, they have an arrogance about them I just can’t stand. We watched the bad game last year. I just got angry and I’m ready to go out there and get that bad taste out of my mouth."
Luckily, Knighton will get his chance Sunday when the Jaguars, coming off that impressive unwatchable win against the Ravens, will travel to Houston to face the Texans on Sunday.
The bad game to which Knighton is referring to was Arian Foster’s 180-yard rushing performance the last time the two teams met. But what really upsets Knighton is the annual prediction that the Texans, finally, will break through and win the division and then never do it (though Houston really should break through and win the division this year).
"Every year they’re the team that’s supposed to overtake the Colts, or be this high-powered offense," Knighton said. "This defense that’s supposed to just shut down everybody. I’m just tired of hearing about it."
