Hartmann Returns

[Ryan]

Per McLame:

McClain_on_NFL John McClain
Texans re-signed P Brett Hartmann to replace Brad Maynard. To make room on the roster, they waived OLB Jesse Nading



Waived Nading? That's weird.

[honored82]

why would they cut him in the first place?

Kept Braman over Nading ? I like their choice even though I'm still surprised by it ?
What's more Nading was a Colorado State guy, bet Kubiak hated giving into Wade on that one ?

phillips must like Braman a lot.

No kidding. Thats a big WTF is going on.

Looks like we got guaranteed touchbacks though on kickoffs with him. He'll have to work on his punts and getting them inside the 10, but it seems like most of our punters have sucked with that anyway.

Nading looked good this PS. WTF?

Texans are scrambling everyone. Hope they know what they are doing. One day you are on the roster, and the next day you come to work to find out you are waived lol

[badboy]

So the best punter available is someone we recently released? hmm.

You know Kubiak's preference for experience....
at least he realized he made the wrong choice.

I'm surprised we didn't bring in Graham or that dude from.....well, I forget, Pittsburgh?

As far as Nading goes, he was ok but Braman is a beast. He may be raw but good pass rushers are hard to find and in this league if you don't put pressure on the QB, you're screwed. Wade will coach him up, rotate him in on passing downs and let him off the leash.

How many years have we heard them go on and on about how much they need to get a pass rush in order to stop anyone. This is Kub's year to get it done and I'm betting he is not going to let go of anyone that can get after the QB.

I thought the roster stood at 52 after the cuts yesterday. Why would they need to cut someone to make room for Hartmann?

They're not done yet.

The roster probably won't be stable until week 3.

Letting go of nading does not seem smart to me.

I like braman, but I liked nading too. I thought overall he had a good pre season and he seems to be a lot stronger than braman. I thought nading could also play a little de if the situation called for it.

As far as bringing Hartmann back, I'm cool with it. I thought thats who they should have kept in the first place.

But I don't like cutting nading. Should have cut one of those corners.

because they also claimed OL Thomas Austin after the pats waived him.

so as of now roster is at 53.

Yap, They were thin on OL but surprised to see Nading waived. I don't think we are through with changes.

From looking at the preseason, looks like he's just made his second bad choice in punters (hope not). Seems that Graham or the Steeler's FA would have been a more solid choice.
