Texans' Strong, Savage stir memories of another Philly tandem

ON SATURDAY night, former West Catholic star Jaelen Strong caught a pass from Cardinal O'Hara product Tom Savage in the Texans' 14-10 loss to the Broncos.

In May, the Texans drafted Strong in the third round. Last year, they selected Savage in the fourth round.

Strong has caught two passes - both thrown by Savage - in preseason action, including a 10-yard TD toss in a Week 1 win over the 49ers.

The two could conceivably hook up in the regular season if Strong makes the team, and if Savage - currently the third QB behind Bobby Hoyer and Ryan Mallett - sees action.
