Will Jerome Mathis start over Corey Bradford? - Page 2 - Houston Texans Message Board & Forum

i change my mind i want mathis to start at number 3!!

Mathis did have some missed play ops ala dropped balls...but hey, even Andre Johnson dropped balls Saturday.

In the second game, Mathis looked pretty solid to me, making catches on curls and such. There is no doubt he can burn some guys down field and I think that because he will get that seperation, he will make that catch cause there will be little defender to defend. If nothing else, his speed is gonna make CB's nervous and will draw huge pass interference penalties which are just as good in my mind. (It already happend in that second game)

I already like this guy better than Bradford.

I wouldn't be suprised if they release Swinton in the next round of cuts, because if he hadn't returned that one for a TD, he might have been released today. Mathis looked just as good as he has on returns.

PS I would've like to see Thomas run some with the first offense, just to see what he could do against #1's, (he has shown he can play against #2's & 3's).

I get the feeling ala the draft the rotation will be different than anybody thought by the end of the year. Who knows what will happen there are too many guys on the cusp of becoming a playmaker. Hopefully one or two will really step up.

we all know that Philly is weak on the WR corp. so what is the option that we might make a trade offer to them for maybe a trade in the draft or something else. we all know that C.C. likes to wheel and deal.
