Not sure why the Texans wont fix the safety problem.

Has anyone heard how the Rookies are looking so far? I have only heard that the LSU kid is not looking very good and may not make the team because he cant run routes.

Talkin' bout Trindon Holliday? I figured he's a pure RS for you guys, and besides that, RB may be his better position that WR. It'd be a bad choice to cut arguably the most talented KR in the draft because he can't run routes as a rookie.

I agree, with his speed he could be the kick return man we haven't had since Jerome Mathis. I don't much like the idea of him as a WR except for deep fly routes since he's only 5'5. I like the thought of him as a situational RB since he's so short defenses would lose track of him in the backfield like they do with Darren Sproles.

I don't think we'll cut him, he has the tools to be an excellent return man in the NFL.

I know it is still early, but we did a full 7 round mock in the Fantasy thread. Keep in mind there were no trades, free-agency acquisitions or compensatory picks. Amongst three other teams, I represented the Texans.

22. Houston Texans :: Deunta Williams, S, North Carolina
54. Houston Texans :: James Rodgers, WR, Oregon Stat
86. Houston Texans :: Nate Solder, OT, Colorado
118. Houston Texans :: Pat Devlin, QB, Delaware
150. Houston Texans :: Drake Nevis, DT, LSU
182. Houston Texans :: Benjamin Ijalana, OT, Villanova
214. Houston Texans :: Lawrence Wilson, OLB, Connecticut

I just thought I would post this here to see what you thought of my selections.

So Bullock and Mawae are still out there. At this point, how can you not bring them it?

I was thinking that with the Cushing situation and all, Bullock might be able to brind the swagger back. I doubt it happens, but I would be in.

Once again two moves that would make this team better, but the Texans are scared of free agents for what ever reason. Mawae would be a huge pick up. And you would think after seeing what Bullock does to us twice a year that we would want him on our side. My big fear is that Cush will not be the same player after getting off the juice, so Bullock would be a big pick up.

Texas Homer · 06-13-2010, 05:01 PM

I wouldn't mind all 3:Atogwe, Bulluck and Mawae on the Texans.

TitanHope · 06-13-2010, 05:10 PM

I would die if Bulluck became a Texan. :'(

He's still recovering from his ACL, so he hasn't really had a FA visit anywhere. So that's not really ya'lls FO not being proactive.

Mawae, on the other hand, has lost multiple steps. I don't think he's a full time starter except on the very poor OL teams, but his veteran leadership and experience with line calls would help out any team - even in a backup role. I think the Titans are interested in bringing him back in a 2nd string capacity, but I think he stills wants to start somewhere.

*sculks away*

cunningham06 · 06-13-2010, 06:33 PM

I've always been a big Bulluck fan, but think of him as more of a WLB than a SLB for us. Once Cushing returns imagine how nasty Cushing-Ryans-Bulluck would be. Damn.

Yeah, I heard about Bulluck not being totally recovered yet. I say hey.....sometimes its good to take chances/risk.

Maybe Houston could bring Bulluck in if they think he can recover(I'm not sure of Bulluck's recovery time table). I don't think Bulluck is done.

On Mawae, I'd sign him and if it doesn't work out, then you could always cut him after Training Camp. I think Mawae can still start and play at a solid level.You have most likely seen more Titans games though than I have and have been able to observe Mawae more.

I would take almost anyone over Myers, I dont care how old Mawae is or anything else, Myers blows. I would really like to see Caldwell get a chance to start at center.

cunningham06 · 06-16-2010, 04:01 PM

Myers is our worst offensive lineman, I don't know why we didn't properly address C yet this offseason, but if Myers starts all season we are in trouble. I really like Caldwell too, I was a fan of his coming out. Hopefully we'll see a TC battle at the very least.

Bulluck is most definitely not done. Had he not been injured, he would've played in the Pro Bowl last year as an alternate. He was playing great, and Titans fans could really see the dropoff without him. He called plays, got everyone lined up right, changed coverages, and made plays. He's a defensive field general.

He's in his 30's, but the guy is still better than 95% of the other 4-3 OLB's in the NFL. I'm actually really hoping the Titans re-sign him. He's been a Titan for his entire career, so I really want him to retire a Titan. Plus after Gerald McRath got busted for failing a PED test (FFFFFFUUUUUUU :'( ), we could use help at OLB. It just depends on his health, and he may not be 100% until a few weeks into the season.

But yeah, Kevin Mawae can still start and improve a ZBS OL. He's lost some mobility, but he's able to lead an OL. I think he'd be a great pickup for ya'll. If anything to help a guy like Caldwell by setting an example. It'd probably only be a 1-year thing though.

USA!!!!!!!

jjmt2500 · 07-16-2010, 05:30 AM

Right now Foster is slated as the starting running back. I think with the way he played the last two games that he deserves to go into camp as the starter. IMO this will be the biggest position battle we will have during camp, but i think that on opening day that Tate will be the starter.

Another position battle I think will be at the 2nd WR spot. I would really like to see Jacoby take this over Walter. Jacoby showed flashes of what he can do last year, and I think he is really close to being a consistant big threat.

If y'all can think of any other position battles post it, we need to get something going on here.

Texas Homer · 08-02-2010, 09:41 PM

I hope Jacoby takes the #2 WR spot and runs with it.

cunningham06 · 08-03-2010, 01:42 PM

Jacoby had a great preseason his rookie year, then he regressed. He's got great potential, I hope he can put it together.

Anyone been to training camp or have any observations?

Texas Homer · 08-04-2010, 01:19 PM

I heard the Bills DE Aaron Schobel would like to play for Houston. That would be cool. Schobel had 10 sacks last season. I wonder if Buffalo would release him though.

They are supposed to release him by the end of the day... fingers crossed.

cunningham06 · 08-04-2010, 04:43 PM

It's official, he's a free agent. Please Texans, do something!

datchapin · 08-05-2010, 11:29 AM

Houston Chronic (chronicle) is reporting that AJ's about to become the highest paid receiver in the league. He didn't specify how he would become the highest paid, but look for the deal to be announced soon.

HEISMANHERSCHEL · 08-06-2010, 12:02 AM

I read AJ got signed. I am really glad, but also surprised. It is odd to see someone with five years left on their contract get an extension.

But it is a must. He is a top three WR in the world. Not to mention I think he is WAY better than anyone else on the team as far as stretching the field. There is a lot of talk about the other recievers, but my thought is AJ must be on the field and be happy. He should be after this contract.

He just might make the hall of fame. A Texan in the hall of fame????? Crazy talk.

jjmt2500 · 08-07-2010, 07:14 PM

As long as he doesnt retire early i would think that he would be a shoe in for the hall of fame.

datchapin · 08-09-2010, 07:31 PM

Its been reported that Bob McNair met with commissioner Godell this morning to try to do something about Cushings suspension.

I really don't know why they're dragging this out. I hope it doesn't become a circus. I wish McNair didn't pursue this. I think it's cool backing Cush, but it might have been best to leave it alone and let Cushing serve his suspension.

Texas Homer · 08-10-2010, 04:20 AM

From yesterday....

• In the morning practice, rookie cornerback Kareem Jackson broke up a 15-yard pass attempt from Matt Schaub to Andre Johnson in the middle of the end zone. "I think he's doing really good," Kubiak said of the first-round pick. "He's gaining more and more confidence each day. Obviously, having to line up against number 80 (Johnson) makes it very difficult. I like his composure. Nothing ever really changes. There are no highs and no lows. He just kind of keeps on going."

I thought this was a cool picture of AJ and Kareem Jackson matching up against each other a few days ago.
