Are you refering to his comment about Spencer on SR 610 yesterday betweenI believe Kubiak mentioned along the lines that he was concerned about the injury in that he's not sure if Spencer will ever be back to his previous form before the injury.
What a bummer. Even if it's not career ending, it's still bad enough of an injury that there is serious doubt about Spencer living up to his pre-injury potential.

LT appears to be a cursed position on this team....not a good thing in any way.
He said it may be career ending injury .
He said with ACL injury, normally players are able to come back and play well but in Spencer's case location where the injury has occurred is not considered very good for athletes.
He tore ligaments?
I thought it was just a fracture....
This may change our draft strategy. If Spencer cannot come back we MUST go OL in the 1st.
Because now its Salaam or bust.
Do you really want it to be Salaam or bust?
I don't understand this thinking...
Spencer was our starting left tackle as a rookie....
He was a third rd. pick....So why is it now that Spencer went down, we "MUST" go OL in the first???
SPencer was best tackle in 3rd not best in first 3 rounds. Who did he beat out this season? He was best we had. The way our O line has gone with injuries we should go with one of the two best tackles mentioned coming out next season. I think we did not adress oline earlier as Kubes thought Mario was bigger need than Ferguson. And who can argue that the second round selection was dead on? I like what little we saw of Spencer but we NEED another left tackle even if he comes back strong. The position is too important to hope Salaam can hold up if starter goes down again.I don't understand this thinking...

Because if our LT position was bad enough for a 3rd round draft choice rookie to be the starting LT, it's bad enough to draft LT in the 1st.
...........say what ?
Does this same principle apply to Owen Daniels...or Meco ???
Why is it that the position was "bad enough" ?? How come Spencer couldn't just be "good enough"???
I don't understand that thought process either....
and I'm not against taking Thomas in the first, but not by that reasoning....

The LT position has been a black hole on this team from Day One. Many fans here (myself included) were clamoring for Ferguson in the first round last year. I posted quite a few posts as to why we needed the best available LT in the draft. We settled for Charles Spencer. As I said at the time, if we can somehow take a gem from a later round and turn him into a stud LT, sign me up.
Ok...
But we have other needs as well...
We spent two picks last year on OL...specifically Tackles.....
Not one pick was spent on Secondary...And IMO, that is one of the worst areas of our team....
I honestly expect us to go Poslunsky or Landry in the first....
I wouldn't be terribly upset with Thomas...But I think lack of talent in the secondary and LB corps is hurting us more right now than lack of talent on the O-line
I don't understand this thinking...

We can draft a quality LT in later rounds, we did that with the two we got in 3rd last year. Ferguson was rated above the two we got for a reason.You don't know that....That's like sayin Marques Colston wasn't the best rookie WR... Or Meco wasn't the best LB...he was only the best in the second....
Who'd he beat out?......everybody who competed for the spot....
And what do injuries have to do with drafting an OL in the first rd....
All injuries mean is that you need quality depth behind your starters...A better argument would be that LT is our biggest NEED, and we need a quality starter....
because we can get Quality depth in later rds... I guess we just do not understand each other. My point with Spencer being best tackle in 3rd round- that is where he was picked. Who did he beat out? There were not a lot of great tackles ahead of him on team.. I think that is obvious. I don't think we have quality depth now at LT & that is why I would select the highest rated tackle whenever we draft in 1st round.
Why does it end with Salaam ? Why can't we draft a quality LT in the second or third??? Why does it have to be a first rd. pick ??
Because you don't get guys like Orlando Pace, Willie Roaf, or D'brick in later rounds. Left tackles are worth their weight in gold in the NFL, and I have little doubt that you already know this to be true. I'd like to have a guy at LT that will play the position with us for a decade or more.
At some point, the Texans are going to have to bite the bullet and spend some high picks on the offensive line.
