A legit CB1 and a legit S. A draft that was heavy on defense. New, legit d-coordinator.

Bobby Mac delivered.

Awesome. JJ + Manning improves this secondary a lot.

[Heath Shuler]

It just keeps getting better and better

Wow, A+ offseason for the Texans.
Absolutely stunning.

Probably by a factor of 100. If all goes according to hoyle and we don't get crushed by the injury bug, we should be at least a mid level defense as the defense now sits.

Very nicely done Texans brass. Very nicely done. Who knows how this is gonna turn out, but I am very pleased with the effort here.

So, I'm not trying to be boastful, but I took a lot of heat on this board and at Battle Red Blog for this story... FYI, it was a reliable member of this board, wishing to remain anonymous, that gave me the scoop regarding Bob McNair's desire to sign Nnamdi back in February.

Here's the article with the rumor from a Texanstalk board member... Thank you: you know who you are: Texans Bull Blog- Texans will Pursue Nnamdi Hard

I really dont know too much about the available safeties after the top 2 on my wish list (Weddle and Mikell)

So who is rated higher Manning or Landry?

I personally wanted Landry more simply bc he came from the Ravens secondary

I'm getting my hopes up again. Ugh...

I don't think that had anything to do with it. The Texans started strong, going after Nnamdi & Weddle. We didn't have the stroke to close those deals, but we finished strong regardless, the #2 corner & the #2 safety available.

But remember, there was mention of the Texans going after 2 corners.

I think going strong after a top shelf safety was always the plan.

Missing on Nnamdi probably means we'll go after another corner. I'm thinking one of the Carr boys, or maybe we sign Grimes to a similar deal as Joseph, wouldn't that spell Championship?

Just took a shot of whiskey! I was about to go to bed, but now I'm freaking stoked baby!!!!!

Rick Smith signing fools like his job depends on it! (and we all know it does)

But is saying "The Texans will pursue Nnamdi" really news, though? Everyone knew we were going to do it. It's like the last few weeks with all of the national media guys tweeting about how we were going to be in the running. Everyone knew that. Just saying.

Regardless, it's been a good day. We've finally made a major, national splash in free agency. We should be happy.

Which is scary, a stout front 7 & a blitz happy scheme would make my fat ass look like an all-pro safety.
