Free Agent File: FS Eric Weddle, San Diego Chargers Drafted: 2007, 2nd Round Age: Recently turned 26 As bad as the Texans cornerback play was in 2010, and my god it was bad, the safety play may have been worse. I don’t have any stats to back that up, but you saw the same games [...]
Free Agent File: DL Cullen Jenkins, Green Bay Packers Drafted: 2003, Undrafted Age: Recently turned 30 Few would disagree that Cullen Jenkins would be a tremendous addition to any 3-4 defense, not only because of his ability, but because of his versatility. Jenkins has excelled at end and can also play the nose. He commands [...]
Free Agent File: CB Carlos Rogers, Washington Redskins Drafted: 2005, 1st Round Age: 29 (30 in July) Rogers has been a decent cover corner in his NFL career, which of course is enough to get him paid nicely. As with every cornerback we’re going to talk about in this series, he’d instantly be the best [...]
Free Agent File: DT Shaun Rogers, recently cut by the Cleveland Browns Drafted: 2001, 2nd Round Age: 31 (32 in March) What we know With the Browns moving in a new direction defensively (switching from the 3-4 to the 4-3), Rogers found himself on the chopping block in Cleveland. Of course, he has played in [...]
Here’s the first in the annual “Free Agent File” series, where I’ll take a look at potential (no matter how unlikely) free agents that may be of interest to the Texans in key need positions. I’ll start out with some of the bigger names, and move on to the middle-ground guys after. I will of [...]
This is the first in a series of entries where we’ll discuss areas that the Texans need to address… and by “need to address,” I mean need to fix. Now. (Yeah, it might be a loooong series.) Some of them are fundamental changes, and some that shouldn’t be such a big deal and just need [...]
With Wade Phillips joining the Texans and charged with turning around a historically-awful defense in one year, you have to believe there is going to be a fair amount of personnel turnover between now and… whenever the 2011 season begins. NT the only question on defensive line Mario Williams and Antonio Smith seem to be [...]
[EDITOR'S NOTE] Now you guys knew you couldn’t hide from Kyle for long now that the offseason is upon us. He’s been laying in wait, ready to strike, and here’s his first salvo of what will no doubt be many during the offseason. Been a busy week for me this week, so I REALLY appreciate [...]
It’s too bad the owners and players apparently aren’t even close to getting this Collective Bargaining Agreement situation fixed. It’s shaping up to be a very exciting free agency period, but at this point there’s no way to tell when that part of the offseason will come. Now, it’s only January. To do an all-encompassing [...]
[UPDATE 7:15PM] I received an email saying that there is an ESPN Insider “rumor mill” report about the perceived interest the Texans might have in Darren Sharper. You have to be a paid subscriber to read the full article, and this person emailed me the entire text. Here is what I think is going on: [...]
