Offensive Line preview pt. 3 of 3 – Centers

Author: Chris | Files under Houston Texans & NFL

[TABLE=20]UPDATE: The Texans have now cut center Chukky Okobi, reaching a injury settlement after putting him on injured reserve last week. Just in time for the final part of this preview, the Texans signed free agent center Mark Fenton today. After Chukky Okobi was placed on IR, the Texans presumably needed another warm body for [...]

Offensive Line preview pt. 2 of 3 – Guards

Author: Chris | Files under Houston Texans & NFL

I trust everyone had a fun and safe Memorial Day weekend. Hopefully drinks and charred meats were consumed, and everyone took some time to think about what the holiday means.

Just how good can this Texans offense be?

Author: Chris | Files under Houston Texans & NFL

At last month’s NFL Draft, the Texans picked up two shiny new weapons for what was already a vastly-improved offense. Duane Brown and Steve Slaton have already generated excitement and controversy amongst the fan-base, but regardless of how you feel about either player – the days and weeks leading up to September are falling off [...]

Sneaky Texans have signed four more free agents

Author: Chris | Files under Houston Texans & NFL

Thanks to HDH reader Shawn who suggested that I update the free agent scorecard, as the Texans have now re-signed DT Anthony Maddox, WR David Anderson, and TE Joel Dreessen. Maddox apparently signed on April 2nd! Yet, it didn’t appear anywhere that I could find until today. Am I the last person in the world [...]
