In order to make room for Sharpton coming off the PUP list, The Texans have released Troy Nolan, again.

Watch for the Lions to sign him, and cue the GP conspiracy theories.

Damn. I liked Nolan.

Re: Sharpton Activated; Troy Nolan Released
 

I'm surprised it's Nolan of all people who keeps getting cut.

Re: Sharpton Activated; Troy Nolan Released
 

Why does it always have to be Nolan!?!

and hurray for Sharpton! I'm sure he'll be trying to knock off rust in this game and the rest of the season, but hopefully he'll be back to what he was pre-injury sooner rather than later.

Demps makes Nolan redundant. Keo is the superior ST player.

Yep, Nolan will be eating turkey in Detroit. http://www.animated-smileys.com/smil...sgiving-21.gif

Nice to see Sharpton activated.

Re: Sharpton Activated; Troy Nolan Released
 

I'm kinda against this, since the game is tomorrow, and obviously they prepared for the game plan with Nolan.

But, at the same time, Sharpton needs to get that rust off. It would basically be a good opportunity for Sharpton without having too much of a challenge.

This guy has had a long 2 seasons of sitting on the bench, glad he's getting a chance to play again. Was a little worried he'd be dropped before he got healthy.

Re: Sharpton Activated; Troy Nolan Released
 

Why Nolan and not Ruud? I like Nolan.

Re: Sharpton Activated; Troy Nolan Released
 

Maybe they like what they saw out of Ruud?

Re: Sharpton Activated; Troy Nolan Released
 

Yep all 46 tackles Sharpton has brought in his illustrious career.

Re: Sharpton Activated; Troy Nolan Released
 

the gap in talent between demps and nolan is significant. seeing him cut again doesnt surprise me.. im just glad kubiak realized this and brought back the player that truly deserved to be on this team last season.. lets see if nolan gets picked up by detroit than released after thanksgiving..

Re: Sharpton Activated; Troy Nolan Released
 

And the fact that prior to activating Sharpton, they had 5 safeties (including 3 designated as "SS"), and only 3 ILB's. Oh, and one of those ILB's (Dobbins) is questionable for tomorrow's game.

Plus, don't forget they already cut Nolan once, and it appeared at the time that the only reason (or at least the main reason) they brought him back was the injury to Demps (which is now healed enough for him to play).

Re: Sharpton Activated; Troy Nolan Released
 

Well atleast Nolan can stay healthy :pop:

Re: Sharpton Activated; Troy Nolan Released
 

Given the performance of our ST's play thus far this year, is that saying much?

Re: Sharpton Activated; Troy Nolan Released
 

That may not turn out to be as empty a statement as people think.

Re: Sharpton Activated; Troy Nolan Released
 

One is less likely to get injured standing on the sideline. :)

Re: Sharpton Activated; Troy Nolan Released
 

So you're at the practices? Since Sharpton has been working out with the team I'm pretty sure he's been in the mix somehow.

Nolan wasn't even active last week. Not sure what the love fest for him is about. Since it's the defensive side of the ball I'll assume this is Wade's call and I'll take his word on it.

Me too , I wish they woulda cut .... Andrew Gardner.
