53 Man Roster Prediction w/Practice Squad - Page 2 - Houston Texans Message Board & Forum

Any word on the guys over in NFLE? I was at the NFLE website the other day and we have quite a few players that are in the top 10 of a lot of stat categories...Freeman, Taylor, Johnson, Anderson, and Lewis are a few...

I think they are here for the mini-camp.

Does anyone have any thoughts though about any of these guys staying with us and making a contribution to the team? I have no idea as I do not keep up with the NFLE...

With B J Symons injury I can't see the Texans making him their third QB this year. He's more likely to make the PS and get his chance next year.

J.J. Moses will be out in my opinion. He's very quick, but not fast and can't take one all the way. Your returner has to score at least sometime during the season. He was constantly caught from behind. Duff could get the job, or even Starling who has blazing speed.

Anyone in NFLe is a borderline NFL player. That is why they are there. The odds are that these guys will never amount to much in the NFL but low odds are better than no odds. With that said, these guys have potential or they would not have the teams invest in them overseas. They are all unproven players with NFL upside.

Vinny,

There has been players to come out of the NFLE and become great players. Examples: Warner, Delhomme (Sp?), Marcus Robinson, even L. Glover played in NFL Europe. So, the chances aren't exactly at "low", but more at 1/3.
