Texans tried to trade for Lynch
- Thread starter J_R
- Start date
Love it they tried to pick up an everydown RB on the cheap. Bills asked too much and the value wasn't worth the trouble.
Looks like the Texans might be willing to put the goody 2 shoes routine aside and start trying to improve their team any way they can. Just like the rest of the NFL.

It's kinda surprising to me that they did attempt to get Lynch, if the report is true ? But I'm still disappointed they didn't make a run at Thomas Jones ?
OK I know they had a bad experience with another vet back, Ahman Green, but they could have got this guy without expending a single Draft pick and he seems a perfect compliment to younger backs Arian Foster and Slaton ? And 1400 yards rushing just last year, he's most likely got some tread left on the tires ?

How do you know the didn't contact Jones?
It is all about Green. That hit em in the face and they arent gonna risk it again.
What's to risk, a few million bucks ? That's chump change to McNair. On the
other hand, using our 2nd round pick for a back in the Draft as they did this year is a major investment of a very valuable asset/resource. Just think of the possibilities that were out there for that second rounder pick ? But I am thankful they didn't use their first round pick on a back.

nor did you hear any other teams that TJ visited, at least I didn't. I heard and read he went to KC and left with a contract...
He may not have given any other teams the chance to visit with him, kinda like Fanaca did.
Except the odds of a 30 something back being successful are not in their favors.

My feeling exactly. I really didn't want Lynch but it is good to hear that (1) we were seriously interested in addressing the RB position in the offseason prior to the draft and (2) that it wasn't just for a good 2 shoes... the FO was willing to give a little on that to get someone they thought would really help the team.
At the end of the day, I'd rather spend a 2nd round pick on a guy like Ben Tate who is so excited to be awarded this opportunity than trade a 3rd round pick for Marshawn Lynch.

Sounds like the Bills are trying to create a ficticious bidding war for him. By saying they would not offer more than a third round pick doesn't mean they actually offered a pick that high. The Texans might have offered Antwan Mulden for him, who was a 3rd round pick.

I wouldnt give more than a fourth rounder
guy has showed that he has no class and is just bad guy
has first round talent but has an undrafted brain

Agreed. Such a shame a guy is so stupid he can't pull his head out of his ass and just play ball.

Jones is 32 and Lynch is 24.
I know why we do, and LOVE it. Teams that win seldom have huge character flaws. Bengals are a prime example. They are good till the going gets tough, then their lack of character shows when you punch them in the mouth. They wilt.

Just like when teams punched the Texans in the mouth, they say "good hit man", and don't fight back. Sometimes, you need those "character" guys.

That game against Tennessee was awesome last year. Even AJ was getting pissed at Finnegan's punka**. That September 09 game showed me our guys have some fire to them.

Last year, we had a team that got up off the canvas and went back to work. down 21 to Zona, we should have won that game. We have character, and don't give up. That's what high character guys do for a team.

Good to see reports the FO was busy behind the scenes to get something done prior to the draft to help address the RB spot.
In the end I'm glad they didn't get him and instead drafted Tate, but it's good to see the FO is aware of some of the flaws of the team and is willing to make an uncharacteristic move if they believe it will help the team get over the top.

So only a-holes have passion for the game? Not buying it. Troy Aikman and Roger Staubach were choir boys and nobody was more dedicated than them.

So are you saying Lott was an a-hole? Similer era, Charlie Waters, another boy scout and he holds the post-season record for the most INT's. Passion and jackass are not synonymous.

I'm saying that there's been many a good player who was aslo a man of character . I think Polllard ( he's a little dirty ) and Ryans are good players but are good guys off the field .
In fact ... I bet I could build a better team of good guys who were never in the news than somebody can build an all a-hole team .

Rice? OK I can understand from 31 teams but not if you are a Texans' fan. AJ is the epitome of high character WR in Houston. By the way (knocking jinx bug away) AJ has the chance this year to do something nobody else has ever done - lead the league three years in a row. Right now he is tied with Rice at two.

AJ is still a work in progress . He may pass a lot of folks after it's all said and done .
