Texans re-sign offensive guard Fred Weary

Author: Chris | Files under Houston Texans & NFL

Weary had a horrible leg injury last season, but it looks as though he’s on track to be healthy for training camp. I’ve read that Weary’s not quite the type of offensive lineman that Alex Gibbs likes for his Zone Blocking System, but the truth is – he’s been solid lineman for a while now, [...]

I drink Texans Kool-Aid! I drink it up!!

Author: Chris | Files under Houston Texans & NFL

OOOOHHH YEAH!!! Okay. So the draft has come and gone, and I have to say that the further away from the Duane Brown pick we get, the better I am with it. For the haters, stay with me. Here’s how I see it… The Texans had their hearts set on picking a Left Tackle with [...]

I don’t have confirmation, but there are two more UDFAs out there attached to the Texans. They are Colorado State DE Jesse Nading, and Miami (FL) WR Darnell Jenkins.

Yet another UDFA linebacker signed

Author: Chris | Files under Houston Texans & NFL

Wow, the Texans are quite determined to bring in linebackers. The Texans have signed yet another LB, undrafted free agent Marcus Richardson from Troy. Here is his NFL.COM player profile. Adibi in the draft, Moffitt as an UDFA, and now Richardson.

Texans sign undrafted free agent LB Ben Moffitt

Author: Chris | Files under Houston Texans & NFL

The Texans wasted no time jumping into the undrafted free agent pool, and signed former South Florida Bull linebacker Ben Moffitt. Read the story here. The LB position is becoming quite a logjam now. As mentioned previously when we picked Xavier Adibi in the 4th round, it’s going to be a fiercely-competitive atmosphere amongst the [...]

Texans add UDFA WR Grice-Mullins

Author: Chris | Files under Houston Texans & NFL

The Texans have also signed undrafted free agent wideout Ryan Grice-Mullins, formerly of the University of Hawaii. Never hurts to get some additional WR depth, even with the good receivers the Texans already have under contract. Here is his NFL.COM draft profile. Looks like he’s a slot receiver. Interestingly, Grice-Mullins is one of three Hawaii [...]

NFL Draft – Day 2

Author: Chris | Files under Houston Texans & NFL

Several players the Texans may or may not have been interested in started flying off the board like mad in round three. Charles Godfrey, Chevis Jackson, Chris Ellis, Jamaal Charles, and Tavares Gooden – all gone. 3rd Round – Antwaun Molden, CB. He’s a big corner, with good speed. He’s probably going to be no [...]

Texans trade down, select OT Duane Brown at #26

Author: Chris | Files under Houston Texans & NFL

I like the player, but I do not like the PICK. I think the Texans lost out on the top OT’s they wanted in the first round, decided they were going to trade down because of it – and reached to get a tackle. There was just no way they weren’t coming out of the [...]

Random thoughts on the draft as it goes down…

Author: Chris | Files under Houston Texans & NFL

AARRGH The Jaguars aren’t going to be dropping off anytime soon. Two good rookie DE’s coming in with Derrick Harvey in the first round, and now Quentin Groves in the second. Maybe keeping Sage Rosenfels will be the smartest non-move the Texans (didn’t) make. ***The Texans have traded out of the #18 pick with Baltimore. [...]
