Here’s part two of the HDH Training Camp Preview Podcast, featuring Jake from BRB. This time around, we talk Texans regarding some specific players who are going to be on the hot seat/in the harsh spotlight in 2009. We’ll also hit on some of the Texan’s ’09 draft class and what we expect from them [...]

Really? Right before training camp? It’s not the best timing, but I’m going to be AWOL for the next several days. I’ll probably be able to sneak in a quick post here or there, but I can’t promise anything. The second part of the Training Camp Preview podcast will auto-post late-morning tomorrow, but it might [...]

The HDH Podcast is back, after a long hiatus! It’ll probably take me a couple more of these to get back in the full swing, so hopefully there will be fewer “uuhhs” and “you knows” from me next time around… but aside from that this one came together very well. I’ve thrown quite a monster [...]

This has been out there for a couple of days, but for anyone who hasn’t seen it – it’s worth a look. Obviously, Brian Cushing’s strength and power isn’t a concern… so this is a bit of overkill. I’m sure he’s dying to get out there and hit someone. Uh, Brian? When #20 heads your [...]

[HDH FANTASY FOOTBALL UPDATE #2] We have twelve members for the HDH Fantasy Football league. Here are the players: AllenOU, Truth, nactexanfan, KD, AmericanIdle, myself, Battle Red Bill, Tailgate Andy, KO, Doc P, Lumberjackato (what is that thing?), and LA26 (unless I mistook his “cheer” in the comments for interest in the league). If there [...]

Other than one of RBs Arian Foster and Jeremiah Johnson, I know it’s not likely… but it makes for interesting discussion about our rookie class. The Texans are talented enough now, that it will be a struggle for even a couple of the drafted rookies to make the team. What I want to know from [...]

…and just like that, it’s been two years since I started this blog, with a post about how Steve Francis had just signed with the Rockets for the second time. Yes, for some of you newer readers – I used to cover Astros, Rockets AND Texans back in the old days… but football is what [...]

I sent a quick congratulatory note to James Casey earlier today, and he was kind enough to give me a quick little quote to publish here, via email: “Thank you very much. Yeah, it feels good to get the business side of it over with. My agent handled everything, but it still feels good to [...]

Well, so much for good news today. Right after finding out about the rookie signings, I find this article, thanks to Wolf, a poster at TexansTalk. Vonta Leach arrested on misdemeanor simple assault charge. Reading the article, it certainly doesn’t sound like a HUGE deal. Leach actually has a reputation as a good guy in [...]

Megan Manfull reports that the Texans have agreed to terms with third-round pick, center/guard Antoine Caldwell and fifth-round pick, tight end James Casey, a week short of the start of training camp (though rookies must report this Sunday). Both rookies are expected to officially sign four year deals on Monday. This leaves only second-rounder, DE [...]
