Texans random thought of the day

AFC Notes: Colts, Jaguars, Texans

Colts The Athletic's Zak Keefer writes Colts GM Chris Ballard will likely narrow his list of coaching candidates to three to six finalists for second interviews. At that point, owner Jim Irsay will get involved.

Carr to Texans?

Maybe he'll revisit the forum if he does come back. lol

I don't want him here personally. I'm not impressed with any of his playoff performances, especially at his price tag.

OK, I'll buy that. But will that coach want to invest that much in an off ball LB? Rumors about FA signings just don't make sense this early, especially before a HC has been hired. And until the guy's signature is on the contract, he hasn't been hired.

Agreed, and I think the possibility is slim, but Edmunds is a linebacker I've coveted to replace Kirksey if they go the FA route. Preferably they will draft a rookie to fill the bill

It's a pretty long article, but here is the important paragraph regarding a future Edmunds contract:

"Based on that hallmark, two play-making inside linebackers from Edmunds’ draft class signed boffo five-year extensions in 2021: The Indianapolis Colts extended three-time All-Pro Shaquille Leonard at an average of $19.7 million with $52.5 million in guarantees; the San Francisco 49ers kept Fred Warner, an All-Pro two seasons ago, at an average of $19 million with $45 million in guarantees."

So the team that signs Edmunds is looking at a $20 million/AAV deal. Which may not be a bad deal as the cap rises.

Getting ready for the drive home. I check into 610 to get the latest on the HC search. The hosts are talking about bananas, their texture, their size and why one of the hosts hates bananas because of a bad experience with a banana when he was eight years old. Switch over to 790 and they are talking about one of the host's disdain for cartoons.

Random thought. Besides sideline reporters. Is there anything worst in sports than sports talk radio when you have a bad NFL team?

I heard all the same today switching back and forth just like you. Horrible radio. Bananas and cartoons are the kinda blocks I expect to hear at 2 am. 4-6p during prime time? Just garbage.

I will disagree with you though on some sideline reporters. Every once in a while there's decent eye candy.

I do not know anything about chromebooks but if the screen is a touch screen, you should be able to use your finger to touch and then scroll. I do that on my cell.

Completely random thought but it’s really nice to see JJ Watt being a total Texans fanboy on his social media straight away after announcing his retirement from the Cardinals. I was a bit worried that the way things played out the last couple of years he was here that the relationship might have soured. Would love to see him work his way up the coaching ranks under DeMeco, Ryans has worked his way to HC in just 6 years I believe, would be great to have JJ on the staff.

Put it this way, I don't think there is much he doesn't know about defense.
He would have a wealth of knowledge to impart to Dlinemen. Start as DLine assistant coach?

I think he wants to enjoy the family a bit. Just had a baby, freshly retired. Who knows though maybe I’m wrong. If he does get on the staff at some point will someone be there to help him talk about setting the edge and containment? I’m kidding of course :banana:
 
610 and Pancakes talking about Cooks this morning.
I feel like Cooks will be on the 2023 roster. I'd prefer they trade him because I don't want players who don't want to be here, but his value as a player is more than they'd get in a trade.

I think that Cooks needs to go for what he did last year. But, Coach Ryans may be the guy that can reach out and turn the guy around. His contract is untradeable unless the Texans pay a big chunk of the guaranteed $$$. Cooks would be a nice target if he bought in. Still would rather have a draft pick. We'll see.

Futures contracts are simply done to fill the 90 man roster and keep other teams from plucking players from your team during the offseason.

Can you not do that with a standard contract?

The way I read it, "future" delays the count against your current cap.

However, I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer. That's reserved for one of our other posers uh posters.

Since we're turning over a new leaf can we get all new people on 610 to go along with it???

I'm sooo over having to listen to Hughley and Stoerner and Laundry and Lopez and the like.

It sure makes it difficult to enjoy the H-O-P-I-U-M and be a Texans fan having to listen to these same tired morons, still. If we fixed the HC position, let's fix 610 by sending Hughley back to Kansas City and Stoerner back to Arkansas and Lopez to pasture and Laundry to the asylum. How about we bring in some old Texans players to talk about the team guided by nonopinionating cohosts.

As far as 610 goes, I catch maybe 30 min to 1 hr of the morning show with Payne and Pendergast. Don't think I have a whole lot of issues with them, other than Payne tends to boggle down on irrelevant things sometimes. Landry and Lopez can definitely be upgraded, I'm not a fan of when they try to play the game of you take one position, I'll take the opposite, and then we'll just argue for the sake of arguing. And I don't listen to any of the others.

I used to listen to 790 occasionally. Liked LZ. But now I'm not sure when he's on because at one point his time slot changed, and it didn't work with my schedule. Will need to check on that.

I'm not in Houston, so I stream all this sh!t, and there's a time difference...

I like N.D. Kalu.

I dont see how a fool like Larry in Stafford achieved talk show relevance in Houston. Anytime that fool comes on the air I start listening to music and many times never make it back to listening to sports talk that day.

At least we don't have to endore Scooby voice overs anymore (or how my Daddy was the syndicated voice of Scooby for a bit.). Jesus Christ how the living hell did Josh Innes get a job anywhere let alone a sports station in Houston.. bigger question is, how the hell did Philly hire him after we fired him? (Which ended in flames).

I wonder what he's up to now.. he didn't know crappola about sports 🤣

I'll never forget Jon McLain once calling a 24 year old Josh Innes the future of sports radio and a up and comming.talent.. oops.
