Since the search for our new defensive coordinator is going to be a hot, ongoing topic – I’m just going to continually bump this to the top of the page when new names are added to the prospective DC list. If you have a name you think should be added – please say so in [...]

UPDATE 2 – The fans are LIVID in Denver – and Jay Cutler’s not happy either: “I’m disappointed, I’m shocked, I’m not happy about it, I’m not pleased with it at all,” Cutler said by phone Tuesday. “We had zero inkling this was going to happen. I didn’t have a clue.” That from Rocky Mountain [...]

Finally, it’s official! “The Texans have fired defensive coordinator Richard Smith, defensive backs coach Jon Hoke and defensive line coach Jethro Franklin.” My immediate reaction is – Frank Bush wasn’t fired. Does that mean he’s going to be promoted? I wouldn’t be overjoyed with that decision – but at least it means Smith is finally [...]

With the Texans season over and all the lockers cleaned out, let’s go down the list of some of the players who probably won’t be occupying said lockers next year. In part one, Texans players who are still under contract with the team in 2009: RB Ahman Green Age: 31 2009 Salary: $4.8 million + [...]

As Socctty pointed out in the comments, the Texans will have the #15 pick in the first round of April’s NFL Draft. Let the speculation begin! It’s never to early to kick around, right?

By then we’ll be so suffocated by draft talk, that we might not even notice. (Uh, yes we will). One thing [...]

The Bears fought tooth and nail to get a playoff spot, but in the end – the Texans seemed to want this game more than Chicago. Houston rolled up an eye-popping 455 total net yards on the Bears, and another great 4th quarter performance by Steve Slaton sealed the deal. Andre Johnson blew up – [...]

When the Texans beat the Titans two weeks ago, it was almost a foregone conclusion amongst many fans that this team would roll to their first winning season. The Raiders were a pushover, and the Texans would manage to get by the Bears at home. Of course, when you’re a Houston Texans fan – things [...]

I hope everyone has a great Christmas this year. Let’s all make sure we especially take a minute to think about our troops in Afghanistan, Iraq, and all over the world. They’re giving up a lot to keep us safe, and here I am – complaining about a football team. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays [...]

If you read about the Texans in the week leading up to Sunday’s game in Oakland, you probably came across a statistic that said the Raiders average less than two-yards per play when their opponents blitz them. Richard Smith’s predictable response to that statistic was to blitz what seemed like a maximum of three times. [...]
