Free Agent File – Safeties

Author: Chris | Files under Houston Texans & NFL

There aren’t a whole lot of top-notch safety talents out there in free agency this season. The Texans should address this issue in the draft, but they might pick up a young lower or mid-tier safety to work into the squad. Currently, the Texans have a couple free agents of their own at the safety [...]

Adrian Peterson sighting, Texans merch shortage

Author: Chris | Files under Houston Texans & NFL

I was in Houston this weekend and found myself within the confines of the Woodlands Mall. Finding a new Texans’ cap in Houston is a lot more difficult than you might think. Every place I went, they had the same selection of two or three caps – and they were either very dull, or simply [...]

Texans’ defense may get tough after all

Author: Chris | Files under Houston Texans & NFL

According to the Houston Chronicle, the Texans are close to adding former Packers and Eagles head coach Ray Rhodes to the staff to help coach the defensive backs along with secondary coach John Hoke. Rhodes had a tough, no-nonsense approach as a head coach, and has been part of the defensive staff in Seattle the [...]

2008 Free Agent File – Linebackers

Author: Chris | Files under Houston Texans & NFL

The Texans’ plans for the Linebacker position this off-season are somewhat of a mystery. Obviously the team is set for years to come with DeMeco Ryans in the middle, but the two outside linebackers aren’t such a sure thing. On the strong side, Danny Clark was signed as a free agent back in March. He [...]

Playoff Predictions – Championship Round

Author: Chris | Files under Houston Texans & NFL

I’m not going to spend a lot of time on this, because I just don’t think either underdog has a chance of winning this weekend. There’s no use in hiding it – I’m openly rooting for a Packers/Patriots Super Bowl matchup. Mostly, I’m just hoping against hope that the Chargers don’t somehow fluke their way [...]

2008 Free Agent File – Cornerbacks

Author: Chris | Files under Houston Texans & NFL

With Dunta Robinson possibly out of the lineup well into the 2008 season, the Texans biggest off-season need is arguably at the cornerback position. There are a handful of solid corners available in free agency this season, and with so many other holes to fill, the Texans might look to free-agency for a cornerback, rather [...]

Playoff Predictions – Divisional Round

Author: Chris | Files under Houston Texans & NFL

So far I’m 4-0 in my playoff picks, but then again – I don’t do the spread thing. I guess that’s actually the skill in picking NFL games, but hey – I’m undefeated at something for the first time in my life. Let me have some fun for a week. We’ve got four intriguing games [...]

Texans hire O-line guru, bump Shanahan to O.C.

Author: Chris | Files under Houston Texans & NFL

I like both of these moves. It goes without saying that hiring Alex Gibbs is a good move – he’s highly touted as one of the greatest offensive line coaches ever. That will be met with nothing but positive feelings from yours truly. His tenure with the Denver Broncos resulted in some of the most [...]

An early look at the Texans’ 2008 opponents

Author: Chris | Files under Houston Texans & NFL

With the 2007 campaign over, the Texans now know the opponents they’ll face in 2008. Of course the schedule itself won’t be released until sometime in the Spring, but it’s never too early to take a peek. Obviously some of these teams will have improved and declined by the time September rolls around, but it [...]
