Thoughts before Faneca-hysteria sets in

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

Honestly, I barely think this is worth an entry, but just to get my opinion out there… I do think Alan Faneca has at least enough left in the tank to contribute to the Texans. He’s of course nowhere NEAR worth the $5.25 million that the Jets are on the hook to pay him, but [...]

Report: Chris White and Rashad Butler sign

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

I have no idea who this guy is, but his blog has been around at LEAST since October of 2005 (that’s as far back as his archives go). I don’t know where he gets his info, but if he was making stuff up, he wouldn’t have been around this long. How’s that for rock-solid logic? [...]

After a year and a half of begging and pleading from yours truly and many others, the Texans have finally gotten it done with DeMeco Ryans. DeMeco is a [...]

Quick thoughts while I actually have a moment

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

Ryan Mathews Yes, I like him. I don’t think he would be a heck of a lot worse than a guy like C.J. Spiller, in fact I keep reading he’s actually a better fit in this offense than Spiller is. That said – I’m not sure a guy like Montario Hardesty (I hope that’s his [...]

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

Check out the Mock Draft Tracker for the latest update. Dan Williams is shooting up the board all of a sudden. I believe he was only on the board once on the last update, but now he trails only Earl Thomas. CJ Spiller has also shown up, which I’m happy to see – and Ryan [...]

S Brian Russell No. Prediction – No. T Ephraim Salaam In 2008 Salaam was publicly upset that Duane Brown was handed his job, [...]
