Maybe he’ll add a few more stats and have a shot again next year.

Maybe he’ll add a few more stats and have a shot again next year.
Maybe McClain will do a better job of jocking for AJ next year.
Houston hatred among HoF voters strong.
McClain won't stop. He finally got Robert Brazile in.

Josh McCown has been hired by the Panthers as the QB coach [while Dom Capers, the original head coach of the Panthers from 1995-98, will rejoin the team as a senior defensive consultant to new Ejiro Evero].

I do like that.
but all the ones I’ve seen have one color on one side and another on the other. Like the other side of that one would be red with the blue outline.
I’d rather both sides be the same color. Blue with red outline on the white background is my preference

Interesting Tunsil/possible new DL coach Chris Kiffin connection. Lots of effort to recruit Tunsil to Ole Miss when Kiffin coached there…
Did Chris Kiffin Go Too Far with Hundreds of Facebook Messages to Recruit's GF?
Ole Miss defensive line coach Chris Kiffin may have gone a little bit too far in the recruitment of 5-star offensive tackle Laremy Tunsil ...

If you want to look like an Arena League team I guess that’s alright.

I don’t see what you are talking about. Can you give a few examples? I looked at arena football league helmets and they look traditional but with more untraditional colors.

This helmet to me is a fiercer new representation, hopefully reflecting the team's future play. If you want to look at an Arena League team, I invite you to replay binge on the Texans past games.

I’m not digging the side horns. The Texans Toro logo is just fine. It sits on the helmet perfectly. I’ve literally felt that putting a logo that prominently features steel blue on a helmet that’s steel blue, sort of washes the logo.
Texans could go bright white with the helmet, and it would be pretty solid. As I’ve mentioned in several post(s), a really cool impact color for the helmet would be “Metallic Gun Metal Gray”. This base color would lend itself to complimenting the Toro logo whether it remains steel blue and battle red or Columbia blue and battle red.
What I always liked about the Columbia Blue and Red combination…….it’s an exclusive color combination not being used by any other NFL team.

I see now what you are saying, but I think you are being a little too self conscious. Other teams do the horns/wings on the helmet. I think the Texans take on it is more modern and the OKC inspired helmet is more of a dated version.
Edit:
If anything it looks like a helmet from a video game.
An Arena League team would be an improvement over the past couple of years.

Besides probable copywrite infringement, there's another reason, like maybe panzie colors.

The McNair’s may have successfully negotiated the use of colors with the Adams Family. On the other hand, I don’t think the Adams Family would ever relinquish the rights to the Oilers name.
As for the colors of Columbia Blue and Battle Red……winning makes the colors great. That was proven during the hey days of the Oilers.

Don't really have an issue with those since they've been around for so long. The Vikings horns are all they've ever had, and the Eagles too for the most part, though I've never really liked the Eagles wings on the helmet. I think they'd look better with some sort of actual eagle on it.
As far as how they play, sure. I don't really care if they wear purple and pink polka dots as long as they win football games.
No one was a bigger Oiler fan than I was. But I've always hated Columbia Blue. 2nd worse uniforms behind the orange creamsicle Bucs. Fine colors for a golf game. Sucks for a football game.

A failed previous uniform colors attempt by Steelers.

As of 2019, Amy Strunk has definitely not relinquished the Oilers name, uniforms or colors. Can you point us to a source that shows otherwise to date?

My exact point. Colors in themselves can make a difference.

It’s pure speculation that something exciting is coming Houston’s way in regards to new uniforms. We speculate on everything within this TT board. Once speculation begins…..let opinions flow.
Worst thing that happens on message boards, when folks become critics instead of conversationalist.

Funny, but it seems like that’s the uniform Tampa Bay fans are most happy with when utilized.
They weren't that happy during the 21 seasons when the team was wearing creamsickle. The team was 120 games under .500 during the span, and often near the bottom of attendance figures. 200,000 more fans, 25k/game, went to Bucs home games the year they switched to pewter and red.

You are starting to remind me of those old timers who want to bring back Oiler blue because they can’t get used to the Texans’ colors! Lol.
It is a matter of opinion at this point. I am not a fan of the oiler blue stuff.

Interesting. I had never heard of the UFL before. It looks like it's going to be played on a full size field. The Houston team is going to have open tryouts next weekend.

Troy expects Tunsil extension saving ~$11 million and later, perhaps in season Howard which should free up a few more. Then cuts and maybe a Cooks trade. Should be plenty of cap to get solid FA. Looking at you Nick!
Caserio can get more space by re doing Tunsil/Howard and cutting guys like Murray.

He usually makes hard cuts and will probably need to do so again for DR's grocery list.
If we're going to bring in some needed talent that is.
I'm all for cutting the deadwood DR don't want.

This may take a year. DeMeco really won't know what he has until his team goes through a pre-season and season.

In Jimmy Johnson's first year with the Cowboys, he avoided getting close to the players because he knew he was going to have to cut many of them.
$22M ain't crap. I'm really disappointed were "impressed" as a fan base with where we are two years into our rebuild. One of the least talented teams in the league, 50 contracts, $22M free.
smh.
They can easily get another 30 mil if need be.
Speedy

But, but I’m told Caserio has been doing a great job with drafts and clearing out cap space and all that. Is this not the case?
That is just more evidence the cap isn't "fixed" not close & nowhere close to where it should be after 2 years
They will be sitting on between 50-60 mil in cap space if needed. How much cap space to you want them to have?
Renegotiating contracts for need is not where we want to be now. That’s where a contender should be.
They aren't renegotiating for need. They're trying to retain a top 3 guy at his position and create more cap space too. Will you feel better about the cap space after Cooks is traded and Murray is cut. That should add 14-15 mil to the cap.

Caserio has made Cooks untradeable. Cooks dead cap is more than the salary cap hit, ($34,220,742) vs $26,463,302. It will cost the Texans an additional $8MM to cut or trade Cooks than to keep him (a Caserio specialty). Remember two years ago when I told you the Texans needed to trade Cooks and you said no because he needed to be here for Mills? That was right after you you went over the moon because Caserio drafted Mills. You said it was brilliant. You use to be on top of stuff like this but that was before you lost your way. Now you have a 30 yr old WR that has become just another major FUBAR.

I don't pretend to know anything about the cap, but according to overthecap.com, trading Cooks after June 1 results in $8.1mil dead money and $18.3mil savings.
I'm not sure how that impacts 2024 and beyond, if at all

The XFL play starts this Saturday. One of the WR's I wanted late or as an UDFA last year, will be playing in the XFL for the Orlando Guardians. Charleston Rambo is from Texas, but played for the University of Miami. He's only 6'-1" but has a thicker body and long arms. He needed a good WR coach to teach him how to use his body to give him more space to catch the ball, and maybe JJ Watt to teach him how to catch with his hands. (only half joking there.)
Are there any players you want to keep an eye on.
