The Texans are focused on trying to defeat the Browns and become 6-3 for the first time in their 10-year history, and nothing is going to distract them from their goal - especially more accusations that they play dirty.

"It doesn't bother me," coach Gary Kubiak said Monday. "We're going to put 46 guys out there and play as hard as we can play. Other than that, I've got no comment on it."

While fans and media on Monday debated the significance of cheap-shot allegations by the past two opponents, Kubiak prepared for Cleveland.

Being accused of playing dirty is nothing new to Kubiak. When he was the quarterbacks coach at San Francisco, Mike Shanahan was the offensive coordinator and George Seifertthe head coach. The 49ers' offensive linemen were often accused of leg-whipping when they were blocking.

Their style of play didn't keep the 49ers from winning a Super Bowl.

When Kubiak was offensive coordinator at Denver under Shanahan, their offensive linemen were accused by many opponents for dirty tactics that stemmed from cut blocks.

Their style of play didn't keep the Broncos from winning two Super Bowls.

During Kubiak's first five seasons with the Texans, no opponent complained publicly about the offensive linemen performing cut blocks. That changed two weeks ago.

Titans, Jags weigh in

Before the 41-7 victory at Tennessee, Titans defensive tackle Sen'Derrick Marks claimed that offensive tackle Eric Winston and guardWade Smith had injured him deliberately with cut blocks, which he admitted were legal.

Last week, Jaguars defensive tackle Terrance Knighton ripped the Texans, saying he hated them and Houston. He also called them arrogant without giving examples.

After the Texans beat the Jaguars 24-14 on Sunday, Knighton called them dirty, among other things.

Defensive end Jeremy Mincey claimed the Texans used cheap shots against him, including stepping on his head.

Unlike Marks, Knighton and Mincey refused to name names.

During Sunday's game, Jaguars quarterbackBlaine Gabbert could be heard cursing at Texans linebacker Brian Cushing for what he perceived as an illegal hit. Cushing wasn't penalized.

Not going to change

Most of the complaints about cut blocking come from defensive linemen who are usually the victims. It's a key part of blocking for the run. The Texans rank fourth in the NFL in rushing, averaging 141.9 yards a game.

There's no way the Texans will change the way they play, including that key component of their running game opponents loathe.

"It's just part of what we do," Kubiak said...

Kubiak not bothered by complaints that Texans play dirty

I'd say the fact that he's "not bothered" is telling.

The Broncos under Shanahan and Kubiak long had a reputation for being dirty, with a lot of it being due to Alex Gibbs (whom I consider a disgrace to his family's good name).

For the record, Gibbs is currently employed in Denver as an OL consultant.

That should tell you something.

      Best Way to Watch Games this Season??

      By PanthersATL · Posted

      Sunday Ticket is now offering a monthly subscription if you're not interested in subscribing for the full package Keep in mind that the full package will be less expensive than getting billed monthly for the same timeframe.  But for a one-off month situation? Certainly an option to consider they also don't seem to mind if 2 households share the same Sunday Ticket login. If you call and ask for discounts, they kinda allude to "do you have a friend you can share the cost with" in the conversation

      Best Way to Watch Games this Season??

      By PanthersATL · Posted

      Watching ALL the games will require: Antenna or cable access to local broadcast partners to view the games of the local team. Due to blackout restrictions, the local games will not be available on Sunday Ticket.  What this means is that you DON'T NEED Sunday Ticket to view those local team's games. All games for a local team will ALWAYS be available on a local broadcast partner, no subscription required I've had success streaming the evening Sunday and Monday national games directly off the NFL/NBC/ABC websites, no subscription required. That said, ESPN may require login via your cable provider account - but it's included in your cable fee, so have fun with that.  NBC is available for free via antenna (or avail via cable, take your pick -- and ABC has been simulcasting the ESPN games, so that's also an antenna/free optio. The Peacock and Netflix exclusive games will require subscriptions to those services if the teams are not your local team YouTube will broadcast the Brazil game free  NFL Network for those random thursday games that aren't your local team... until the ESPN partnership comes into play, in which case your ESPN subscription should give you access (lots of assumptions with this bullet) Everything else is pretty much Sunday Ticket or go to your local bar I may have missed one, but the general gist is above In short, don't believe the online influences who say you need to purchase a full-year subscription to a service to watch "all" the NFL games (ie full year of Peacock). Because you don't need a full-year sub.   So no -- there is not a single service that will let you watch ALL the games Sunday Ticket will only cover you only for the sunday daytime games.

      Aaaaaaand... ND immediately throws an INT. Tried to run that same screen they've ran a dozen times tonight and Miami had two defenders sitting on it and he threw it anyway.
