Casserly Quotes
just a few lines from charlie during the astros game that if factual are very encouraging. "seth payne is fine" and went on to say that he'd be ready to start. "that's how we'll start" ... saying that Wand will be starting LT, Pitts at LG, and Wade RT.
if wand is that far along in his developement and with boseli's high remarks, that could be a great sign for our front line. especially here since the general consensus seems to be that Pitts would make a great guard but an average tackle (which i agree with). wade's a proven stud, wand has all the makings of a dominant tackle ... if they work out together we've got our bookends which makes carr a very happy & comfortable thrower. and if payne's healthy, he's one of the best guys in the league that we could have starting at NT. he was our dominating run stopper the first season and shut down ricky & deuce last year until injury. if these two pieces of the puzzle are in place ... the big picture IMO is looking really really good.

I agree. If we hold it together (limited injuries), I think we are capable of surprising a bunch of teams.

Sounds good, I didn't know Wand was that far along. Feels good to know we will have a young, strong O line for the next few years. Also good to know Carr should have more time to throw this year. All good news...

Hopefully both of the satements mentioned are true. Payne will be the anchor in the middle that we need. And Wand was a risk, and a project coming into the league. Our coaching staff has done a great job to turn him around so quickly. We would have a top 10 O-Line if Wand is as good as we all hope.

I have heard mixed things about Payne. What I have read from Texans coaches is he will be ready for the beginning of the season, but from what I have read from other media sources is they think he will be 100% by mid season. I hope our coaches are right...
