I was going to make a joke about watching the cheerleader's legs...


I attended one last week. He signed autographs before and after practice so we were close. I was looking more to see if he favored either foot walking or standing. There was nothing noticeable in his gait, stride or stance.

Wait. What?

First off, we've got Forsett as our #3 now. He's looked really rocking in practice. From the reports, the Foster-Tate-Forsett triumvirate has been looking very good in practice.

I guess that might make Tate expendable but there's no way I'd go there.

At the WR spot, Martin has been killing it in TC by all accounts and Jean and Posey have been looking pretty good, too. Granted, they're rookies and the real bullets haven't started flying, yet, so they might all be fools gold.

But personally, I feel better having Tate and Forsett behind Foster than I'd feel trading Tate for a WR, at this point.

What Cak said about TC's blog.

Kubiak has said that Tate and Foster have been competing hard and pushing each other, and they probably don't even realize how much better it is making them, and what it'll do for their careers. He also said that this is the best RB squad he's ever worked with.

So I'm guessing that Tate looks just fine.

I'd link the quotes, but I'm posting from my phone.

Whoever that "someone" is, don't ever believe anything else they tell you again.
Ever.

Our RB position is the most solid squad, top to bottom, on the team. Tate & Foster picked up right where they left off last season. And Forsett looks like a steal and Grimes, and any previous year, would be a candidate for #3 RB. He may have a shot on S/Ts.

And if Posey and K.Martin continue to develop and show more and more of the flashes they've been showing in camp and LeStar Jean continues to improve from last camp, Bryant Johnson may get cut.

And I've been to three of the open practices so this is what my eyes are telling me.

Will Schaub play in the opening preseason game this Saturday???

Has he had any real traffic thrown at him in TC yet? I just have to wonder if he's really ready or just "10-yard safety zone around him" ready.

They look the same. Schaub looks like Schaub. Watch him careful near the end of practices when he is tired to see if he limps any, nothing.

Sharpton's legs are not even. I will be surprised if he starts the season.

Tate looks like he is in crushing fools mode. His healthiest camp so far. (KNOCK ON WOOD).

Scroll back through the reports. This is my last one for a while because I am doing family stuff. Yes, I have a life outside of football stuff.

Thanks, as always.

That gives additional credence to a compensatory hip flexor injury I proposed earlier.

Thanks for the work you've done. Many of us rely on your camp reports. You're like our head spy.

I really didn't notice much run defense struggles.Ray Rice and MJD had two good games against us. Maybe the Oanthers but that's not the conventional run defense. I think that speaks more to our backs and hopefully OLINE than our run defense.

Judging by what you may have read or seen in video form, what's your opinion on Schaub's progression through his rehabilition of his foot injury?

For not really having to be concerned now with being hit, i.e., need for sudden awkward movement, and planting and weight shift and movement against resistance, he appears to be progressing well. He seems to plant with a full flat foot to the ground avoiding any rocking off the front of his plant foot. He will probably be limited significantly in reps during preseason. So his real test will come during the regular season where his foot will be repeatedly stressed and tested. How he holds up to these repeated forces week in and week out will be the final test and is yet to be seen. I remain very guarded about his ability to stay on the field, especially if it is necessary for him to adjust his mechanics to protect his foot. Again, as a Texans fan, I will keep my hopes as high as I keep up my guard.

It says I must spread rep to others before giving it to CnD again.

Can someone get him for me?

That last sentence was perfectly worded. 100%.

Got him. He deserved it anyway, as I feel the same way. Just because I love the Texans with every ounce of my football being, it doesn't mean I can't be realistic about them.

I got him for you too. His information has been great on all of the questions he has responded to.

On the radio this morning, Nick Wright said "There is a player on the jugs machine and he has dropped 3 of 9 nine balls so far.

One armed JJ Watt."

Wow!
