Rey would obviously fill the role of a Brandon Spikes, where he is there for run support only. Mostly the job of a No. 2 iLB in a 3-4 anyway.

Rey couldn't cover in college either, that was Cushing's gig. He was just there to knock the piss out of people.

Agree. People recognize a name & associate good play because of that.

Maualuga was rated worst overall ILB by ProFootballFocus in 2012, out of 53 playing in >25% of team snaps.

Bingo. Leave Reed & sign these two. PFF wrote about them.

Yes, his best seasons were outside in a 3-4. I think he's a possibility for Houston. We'll see.

Don't see how we could afford him.

Have him be pissed at Denver and sign for less to play for a contender. Like Wes Welker.

It would make more sense in this regard if he signed with New England.

[SW H-TOWN]

Larry Grant - Could provide depth at ILB
Brad Jones - Would be a starter for us at ILB
Quinten Mikell - Need a starting S
Kerry Rhodes - Need a starting S
Michael Huff - Need a starting S
Ramses Barden - Has some upside and had good WR in front of him.
Alan Branch - Not great but better than Cody IMO and would be inexpensive.

Tom Zbikowski was just released not the best but better than keo

[Rufus Jarvis]

May I suggest CB Antoine Winfield as a slot CB. He still can play and he hits like a LB'er.

I'd like him more than anyone to fill the S slot. He's the best open field tackler left in FA. (One of the best in the league as a whole, imo.)

[EllisUnit]

I say keep Ruud to play ILB along side Cushing. I was actually impressd with his play last season especially his coverage skills.

Im over 40 , smoke like a train , drink like a fish and run a 5.5+second 40 .... and I'd be a better option than Keo.

I wouldnt be against Winfield ....

[EllisUnit]

Anyone know what Troy Nolan is up to these days ???

We all know choosing Keo over Nolan was dumb so they need to make it right.

With the remaning FAs which ones do you think would be posible 1 year candidates for the Texans?

ILB Rey Maualuga: At 26 yrs old and having a disapointing year playing with Wade who can have him play to his strengths running downhill. Hopefully showcasing himself for long term contract at 27. Plus history with Cushing.

OLB Shaun Phillips: He had 9.5 sacks last year. I would rather have Phillips than Reed.

bite you tongue

once all the big expensive free agents are vacuumed up sending countless teams into future cap Armageddon, Texans will smartly & shrewdly add quality depth @ bargain basement prices. They will then proceed to re-build cornerstone foundation pieces, like Reed though the draft.

They could offer Dumervill 5yrs 30m with 15g and cut antonio.
