Things you might not know about the 49ers
There are teams that the Texans don't play very often because of the scheduling formula and the 49ers are one of those teams.
The Texans and 49ers have met only two other times. Most recently the Texans barely hung on to beat the 49ers 24-21 in game seven of the 2009 season at Reliant Stadium. In that game the Texans blew a 21-0 lead and 49ers quarterback Alex Smith, who replaced starter Shaun Hill in the 3rd quarter, led a furious comeback with 206 passing yards and three touchdowns to TE Vernon Davis in the second half.
And of course who could forget the Texans only other visit to Candlestiick Park on New Years Day, 2006.
Since many Texans fans don't pay a lot of attention to the 49ers, here's some things you may not know - or things you knew but may have forgotten.
Did you know that the 49ers now have Braylon Edwards and Ted Ginn at wide receiver,Women's Kansas City Chiefs Jersey?
Did you know that Michael Crabtree has been out the entire preseason with a foot injury?
Did you know that former Texan and native Houstonian Moran Norris is (still) the starting fullback for the 49ers? Norris is 33 years old and had previous stints with the 49ers and Lions before retuning to San Francisco in 2009.
Did you know that the 49ers, like the Texans, also replaced half of their secondary during the offseason, signing free agent corner Carlos Rogers (Redskins) and safety Donte Whitner (Bills) earlier this month?
Did you know that the much traveled Josh McCown (Sam Houston State) is the 49ers #3 quarterback behind Smith and second round draft pick Colin Kaepernick?
Did you know that David Akers, who most associate with the Eagles, is now the 49ers kicker?
Did you know that the 49ers offensive and defensive coordinators are former Texans coaches Greg Roman and Vic Fangio? (eek)
Did you know that six Texans coaches used to coach or play for the 49ers? (Gary Kubiak, Vance Joseph, Larry Kirksey, Gregg Knapp, Frank Pollock, Brian Pariani)
Did you know that 49ers star running back Frank Gore with the team? (As Arian Foster waits patiently to get his next year.)
So there's your 49er trivia for the day. Hopefully the Texans play well tonight and come out of the game healthy. Week 1 and Peyton Manning (you're kidding yourself if you think he's not playing) are lurking right around the corner.
