DeMeco trade hurts, but beneficial in long-term

Author: Chris | Files under Draft Talk, Free Agency, Houston Texans & NFL

Wow. I think all of us would consider DeMeco Ryans to be one of our favorite Texans, if not our outright favorite Texan. Well, he’s gone. “Cap” as the players call him (short for Captain) is headed to Philadelphia for the Eagles fourth round draft pick (fourth pick in the fourth round), and a swap [...]

Why yes, I am enjoying today’s Titan failure

Author: Chris | Files under Free Agency, Houston Texans & NFL

I’m a really classy guy. Mainly because I sit behind the comfort of a laptop and deride others whenever possible – especially if those others are anyone associated with the Tennessee Titans, or Jason Babin. So today, when word came down that Peyton Manning put his middle finger in Bud Adams’ face and said “no [...]

Here are some thoughts from Mario Williams from a column by the always-excellent Mark Berman: “I greatly appreciate the support and everything that I had to go through and the team had to go through, through these years.

Free Agency open thread, Tate trade rumor

Author: Chris | Files under Free Agency, Houston Texans & NFL

Day two saw no new movement from the Texans in Free Agency. Ben Tate is allegedly being targeted by the Cleveland Browns via trade. I do NOT want to lose Tate, who is about as high quality depth as you can possibly get… but right now quality depth might be a luxury for the Texans, [...]

Texans cuts: Eric Winston, Matt Leinart

Author: Chris | Files under Free Agency, Houston Texans & NFL

Most fans were shocked today when the Texans cut Eric Winston loose. I’ll say this – I’m shocked they actually went through with the move. I was stunned, because, Winston was absolutely still a very effective and above-average NFL right tackle. His run-blocking was still very good to excellent, but his pass protection has been [...]

Let’s skip the hysterics & talk Chris Myers

Author: Chris | Files under Draft Talk, Free Agency, Houston Texans & NFL

Peyton Manning is coming to the Texans!!!!! Mario Williams is going to re-sign with the Texans super-cheap!!!!! An NFL punter will get busted for steroids!!!!! The much bigger issue right now, is Chris Myers. The Texans are feverishly trying to create as much cap room as possible right now to re-sign him. People who think [...]

Texans set practice squad, re-sign Nading

Author: Chris | Files under Free Agency, Houston Texans & NFL

UPDATE: The Texans have re-signed Jesse Nading and placed him on the practice squad. UPDATE: McClain’s at it again. The Texans re-signed punter Brett Hartmann (who they should have kept over Brad Maynard in the first place – or um, somehow found SOMEONE better than either). To make room for the punter, the Texans got [...]

Vonta Leach chooses Ravens over Texans

Author: Chris | Files under Draft Talk, Free Agency, Houston Texans & NFL

Baltimore is such a perfect fit for Vonta Leach. The way he plays, the edge he has on the field, he seemed tailor made to end up a Raven. The rumored gap between what the Ravens paid and what the Texans offered is just that, a rumor – but I can’t say I blame Leach [...]
