I have some thoughts to share on this “report.” I really have no beef with Jason La Canfora for this article. He’s just doing what he does. It’s the ridiculous things that result from “reports” like this that I have a problem with. Look at exactly what La Canfora says: The Texans indeed are prepared [...]
[EDITOR'S NOTE] If you’re looking for a differing opinion on Nnamdi Asomugha, here you go. Kyle’s back from work-induced hiatus to share some thoughts on the Texans – specifically this time on free agents and Nnamdi. Also note that this was initially a comment on this entry, so it’s not really framed as a blog [...]
Predictably, the Texans attacked their woeful defense on on all fronts over the course of the NFL Draft. Out of eight picks, the Texans grabbed six defensive players, and they hit all three elements (defensive line, linebackers, defensive backs) at least once. But what happens now? Well, we can only hope – a whole hell [...]
By now I’m sure you’ve seen this article. Wade Phillips goes over several topics relating to the 2011 Houston defense, which still holds many mysteries. Mysteries! One thing that’s not a mystery? Wade’s opinion of Frank Bush as a defensive coach, which he doesn’t discuss openly, but you can read between the lines. Wade, Gary [...]
Weekend number two in my tenure as Weekend Editor of SBN Houston is winding down. While Rivers is over there killing himself on college basketball overload, I of course am always going to be Texans-heavy, if you care to read: – A Look At The Most Popular Texans 1st Round Mock Draft Selections – Rashad [...]
I saw this little tidbit come across the “wire” earlier today, and was a bit surprised. BFD over at Battle Red Blog links to a Tweet saying the Texans and Rams have contacted soon-to-be former Jaguar WR Mike Sims-Walker. After careful consideration, my reaction is: Meh. I’ve read things about Sims-Walker in the past that [...]
Free Agent File: CB Chris Carr, Baltimore Ravens Drafted: 2005, Undrafted Age: Will be 28 in April One thing I want to make clear – I’m not doing this series as “guys I really want the Texans to sign.” Some of course fit that description, and others (this one especially) will be the less-gaudy names [...]
Just to make sure you don’t miss any of the weekend material I’ve been writing over at SBN Houston, I’ll be doing a weekend “roundup” of sorts to point you to the Texans-related items I’ve written: The debut of the Texans on Twitter Power Rankings, which is something I had been meaning to do for [...]
UPDATE 4 – Shaun Cody’s contract is for two years, $5.75 million, with $1.5 million guaranteed. Draw your own conclusions from that. UPDATE 3 – Sigh. Sigh and groan. The Texans re-signed DT Shaun Cody to new deal as well, this according to McClain on Twitter. I’m guessing it’s not going to be backup money, [...]
Curtis asks: I know we have plenty of spots to fill on defense, but would you move up to get Von Miller and give up a 3rd round pick? Nope. I wouldn’t. As you said, the Texans just have too many needs on defense. Miller is probably the best rush 3-4 OLB in the draft, [...]
