02:50 PM ET 10.12 | The undefeated Houston Texans suffered a blow last week when they lost linebacker Brian Cushing for the season. Texans cornerback Johnathan Joseph acknowledged the impossibility of replacing a player like Cushing. He also noted the necessity of moving on and adapting. "Just doing what I have been doing," Joseph said. "It???s nothing special. Nobody is going to have to go out of their way to do anything. Just have to pay more attention to detail and things like that. Taking the hit and loss of Brian Cushing, we don???t know to what extent exactly, we just know you can???t replace a guy like that. Everybody knows they have to raise their level of play."

I would think so.

Yeah, I don't know what they expected the guy to say. "Oh, woe is we, our season is surely doomed."? I think Joseph handled the question about as well as possible.

Fortunately their first game is against the Packers. They don't need Cushing to shred that sad excuse for an offensive line. Rodgers will spend the game running for his life.

As long as J.J. Watt is still in there, there won't be too much of a drop off in production.

I think the biggest issue the Texans need to address is reminding everyone to just do their job. Don't try and reach and do something more. There is a lot of talent on the defense and they can absorb the loss of Cushing.

There was a great story about J.J. Watt on the Today Show. Definitely a man of great character and very giving of his free time towards children who have had some sort of tragedy or difficulty in their lives.

Didn't they run the same story a few years ago about J Sandusky and his work with "secon mile" ?
