Good trade! We desperately need a WR. How has Mason looked this season?

Just by a quick glance at the stats it shows two games started, with 13 receptions for 115 yards. If I remember correctly he was traded to the Jets in the offseason, and then traded here.
 
Not a bad move. Maybe he can tip us a little bit on what Baltimore does as well.


Unfortunately this could mean AJ is gonna be out longer than we thought. I hope I'm wrong on that.
 
If I had to guess, I would say McNair just kicked Rick Smith right square in the ass.
 
Solid vet receiver....I'll take him over Jacoby Jones any day of the week. At least he can run a freaking route. I guarantee you that if he's targeted 11 times, he'll have more than just one damn catch. :rolleyes:

He's a stop gap for sure (like a one year rental) so that conditional pick better be a low one.
 
I've liked this guy for years now. Let's hope he still has something left in the tank and plays with some fire under his butt...don't know what happened with the Jets, but there's something dysfunctional happening there in the background, and maybe DMase will have something to prove to the Ol' Toe Sucker.
 
Also sounds like we'll be hearing more about Aj's injury in the near future.... not good news.
 
One of the biggest upsides in this trade is his awareness. Very good at situational football, and I am sure that is what Kubiak wants from him.
 
Mason is a great route runner and a true professional. Dude has been on winners. I think even if it doesnt maybe translate on the field, his addition to the locker room will be very valuable.
 
Just what the doctor ordered for the passing game. Smart, good hands/route running. Will do wonders for our 3rd down passing once he learns the playbook.
 
Mason was benched this past Sunday. There seem to be a number of possible reasons from his big mouth, to not living up to what was expected.

What for... Houston at least made a move to bring in a vet. people will write him off due to his age, but he's been around for so long I'm sure he's played in just about every offense there is. He should be able to come in and start making plays pretty fast.

Jacoby can't even "figure it out" going into his 5th year with the team. :toropalm:

Remember the whole board was pissed off when we re-signed Jacoby? Yet all the "Smithiak" excuse makers just love to tell us how much smarter and how much more knowledgeable they are than the rest of us :rolleyes:

Well guess what excuse makers, this is a pretty blatant admission of error as far as re-signing Jacoby Jones goes. Sorry, he didn't prove any of the haters wrong this season.

If I had Mark Sanchez throwing the ball, I wouldn't be happy either.

Anyways, I've always respected Mason, always been a Texan Killer from his first game against us (177 yards 3 TDs) to his last (77 yards, 2 TDs on MNF).
I know he still has some gas left in the tank, hopefully it doesnt take too long to get acclimated to the system.
 
Usually, if anything, we are just picking up free agents this time of year. How many times have we heard Kube's say "we are just gonna go with what we have". Maybe our coach and gm are starting to feel some heat?
 
Horrible trade. Smith and McNairwere duped again. All the free agents out there, some even his age, and this is who we sign. We could of got similar performance with a conditional.
 
Mason brings exp in every situation. Im sure Kub will have a package of plays for him this weekend. Is Mason still quick enough in the slot?
 
Love Derrick Mason. Seems like every new season is always gonna be his last and he keeps on going.

Doubtful. They had Walter, Jones, B. Johnson and Anderson. Walter's fine, JJ is suspect, B. Johnson is/was banged up this past week and Anderson's fine. You can't keep playing with 3 healthy bodies without Andre around.

No one's gonna be more reliable than Derrick Mason.

Man by the time he gets in to the Texans, learns the system and the plays, AJ will be back full strength....

I bet you there was someone out there they could have taken and just over looked....

Dude is 37 years old. HE isn't help he is a band-aid on a team that needs legit help at the #2 WR spot....

I doubt it's anything serious. He was already ruled ahead of schedule and he hasn't been back on the practice field yet to mess anything up. Unless he slipped and pulled something at home, I'm not too worried right now.

We needed a guy who's "done it before" and now we got one. Jacoby can go kick rocks for all I care.

If something serious was going on with Andre, they should've pulled off a bigger move, because Mason wouldn't of done much to cover up that absence.

What free agents? Randy "I'm a cancer, alligator arm everything, an attention whore, and who knows if I even want to play" Moss? Terrell "I have a busted leg and I'm rehabbing and I'm not quite healthy just yet and I'm a media circus" Owens? TJ "I'm garbage now and nothing really needs to be said" Houshmazilla?

Oh I'm not against it by any means. In fact, I was just telling a friend how trades rarely happen in the NFL. No, I was simply commenting that someone will be along shortly to say, "***** TEXANS FO COULDA HAD MOSS!!!!" or TO, etc, etc, ad nauseum
