Going on temporary hiatus for a family emergency

Author: Chris | Files under Houston Texans & NFL, Site Announcements

My friends, I’m going to be gone for a little while. I have a family emergency going on, and we all need each other very badly right now. I’m going to leave the site up of course, and I might pop in here and there for a distraction but as far as new content, please [...]

Texans unrestricted FAs – who stays/goes 1 of 2

Author: Chris | Files under Free Agency, Houston Texans & NFL

Here’s the entry on the Texans’ restricted free agents if you missed it. Now let’s move on to the unrestricted guys. Once again, this is all assuming that the league does not work out some sort of last-second miracle deal before the start of the new NFL year on March 5. Unrestricted Free Agents RB [...]

Mock Draft Tracker update: Thomas, Price rising

Author: Chris | Files under Draft Talk, Houston Texans & NFL

Here’s the first update of the Mock Draft Tracker since the relaunch. I added six more mocks, which puts us at 38. The biggest risers since the relaunch are Texas S Earl Thomas and UCLA DT Brian Price, at +3 each. Right now I’m letting a lot of mocks through that haven’t updated in a [...]

Weekend mailbag: RBs, Amobi, draft talk

Author: Chris | Files under Draft Talk, Free Agency, Houston Texans & NFL

Lamont (via Facebook) asks: What would it take for the Texans to negotiate with Dr. Death aka Al Davis for Darren McFadden or sign L. Tomlinson or or Chester Taylor? LaDanian Tomlinson is not a big guy, but he has proven to be a very effective short-yardage back. If he were to come to Houston [...]

AllenOU checks in with an early mock draft!

Author: Guest | Files under Draft Talk, Houston Texans & NFL

[EDITOR'S NOTE] As always, I encourage submissions from anyone who wants to make a guest entry. I don’t have to agree with it, I just want it to be topical well thought-out. If anyone else wants to send me a mock (or an entry on anything at all) I’d love to have it. Just shoot [...]

Cushing’s MMA training, more Texans news

Author: Chris | Files under Houston Texans & NFL

You thought Brian Cushing was already kicking enough ass? In this PFT piece about Trent Cole taking up MMA training with Jay Glazer, Mike Florio says that he’s also heard Brian Cushing will be giving it a shot. It seems to suit Cushing’s mentality and workout-warrior history. Jared Allen has said it definitely helps him [...]

Texans restricted FAs – who stays, who goes?

Author: Chris | Files under Free Agency, Houston Texans & NFL

Every year when we get close to the start of free agency (March 5th this year) I go down the list of Texans’ free agents and give my reasoning/prediction on whether or not they will remain with the team. This year, of course, things are a little unsettled because of the labor strife going on [...]

Author: Chris | Files under Houston Texans & NFL

What you give up for this? I know, it’s only football. It’s just one part of our lives… but who doesn’t want this!?!?

ESPN: Texans will have interest in Tomlinson

Author: Chris | Files under Free Agency, Houston Texans & NFL

Ahahahah, good ol’ ESPN. Via Rotoworld (and originally found on TexansTalk) ESPN’s Chris Mortensen reports that once the Chargers inevitably cut LaDanian Tomlinson, that the Texans will be interested in his services. Here’s how this works. Do the Texans have interest in LaDanian Tomlinson? Sure. Does EVERY TEAM IN THE NFL have some level of [...]

Super Bowl Sunday is here. Joy.

Author: Chris | Files under Houston Texans & NFL

Whatever. Another Super Bowl Sunday that doesn’t include the only team I actually care about. I don’t want Johnny-come-lately fandom to be rewarded, so I’m sure as hell not rooting for the Saints and their GIGANTIC BANDWAGON. As a Texans fan, sure I am no kind of Colts fan – but I do respect Peyton [...]
