As of late-morning on Sunday, the staggering albeit unconfirmed number of undrafted free agents signed by the Texans stands at 29 – more than any other NFL team. I’ve been following this list of unconfirmed undrafted free agent signings since way back when it was a secret, and most of them turn out to be [...]
TE Ryan Griffin, Connecticut For once, the Texans have a legit need at this position. I don’t know anything about Griffin, but he sure has the size that coaches love in the current NFL. But what Kubiak loves and has landed here – is a TE who can block. Can he block in the NFL? [...]
Listed as a DE in college, Williams will undoubtedly be a pass-rushing LB in the NFL. Williams is a bit undersized, but a solid value in the fourth round. He’s a guy who’s going to need to learn some additional pass rush moves to make it in the NFL. Reading up on him, he has [...]
I will cut to the chase on this one. The knock on LSU’s Sam Montgomery is that he doesn’t have the best work ethic, and he takes a lot of plays off. The good is that he’s thought to be a 2nd round talent, and could be a steal if he gets his sh*t together. [...]
All NFL teams love to say they all draft the best player available. BPA this, BPA that. For some reason they won’t admit that it’s a combination of BPA and need positions. Maybe because it’s just so obvious. Williams was a bit of a reach here, and while this is not an exciting pick – [...]
Just when it looked like the Texans were going to nail down a nice value pick in Kansas State LB Arthur Brown, the Ravens – who love former and perhaps future Texans – traded to hop in front and snag him. Obviously, we have no clue if the Texans would have actually pulled the trigger [...]
This was pretty much a no-brainer, but most of us who have more than a casual grasp of what the Texans are about figured they would go with a less “sexy” (or less predictable) pick, as is kind of their history. The way the first round unfolded Thursday night, the Texans really couldn’t have asked [...]
“There’s no doubt this team has taken a big step forward.” -Gary Kubiak, in one of the many post-Patriot playoff loss press conferences. Oh, I beg to differ. In fact, you can’t even make a coherent argument that supports the above quote. As fans, unless you just hate your life and are constantly miserable – [...]
I was lucky enough to be in attendance for the Texans 19-13 win over the Bengals on Saturday. I have no voice left, and my ears are still ringing. Reliant was a madhouse. I have to admit I was afraid the crowd wouldn’t “perform” as well as they have in the past, especially after witnessing [...]
See the previous post. Nothing has changed. The Texans, despite their best record in team history, are primed for an early playoff exit. When the final chapter of the 2012 Texans is written, it will focus mainly on the sparkling first half or 2/3 of the season. JJ Watt was as dominant as any defensive [...]
