    Texans random thought of the day

    I feel very uneasy seeing the Texans as the free agency Super Bowl winners, always feel a lot more comfortable laughing at the Jaguars for taking the March title and waitjng for them to fail in autumn. It’ll be different for the Texans, right!?

    Texans random thought of the day

    Time flies. Remember the nail biting in the year leading up to that trade expecting the Texans to walk away from what felt like their only ever chance at a franchise QB with nothing but an irreparable dead cap situation.

    2024 Free Agency

    Yes, and Noah Brown showed last year he can be a good stop gap if that rookie takes some time to get up to speed. If it came down to a choice between paying big money to a FA/Trade acquisition or getting a long term deal worked out for Nico Collins I like Collins’ development curve and hope he...

    Texans New 2024 Defense

    There is the opportunity to switch fronts without substitutions isn’t there? Because Hunter can play as OLB and Autry can play DE? Am I right in thinking we can get very creative even against a hurry up O? Both Pitre and Ward seem capable of playing different positions also do they have a lot...

    2024 Free Agency

    Yep, if you draft well in the 2nd round you get a really good player, there is a much lower cap $ tag, they even tend to cost less when it comes time to resign them because there is a ‘former first round pick’ tax for players that work out. im sure the rookie cap pool and that 5th year option...

    2024 Free Agency

    I kind of forgot they’ve got Jimmy Ward, because of the 1 year structure of many of their contracts and the feeling he didn’t ’prove it’. I wonder if their plan is Ward/Pitre/Houston-Carson. I know Murray gets bagged but he seemed to play above his reputation before injury. Maybe they are...

    2024 Free Agency

    Looks like we can still move on after 2 years if we so choose. Depending how it’s structured, of course, but looks like that bulk of those guaranteed $ are done by 2 years’ time, which gives us chance to find something better through the draft (and develop for a year or 2 also). I’ve a strong...

    2024 Free Agency

    KC is a great case study for how to handle your OL. They had big money tied up in Fisher and Schwartz at OT, but quickly dumped them both along with their center to help manage the cap, just as Mahomes’ mega contract began to toll. They paid those guys right through the rookie contract of...

    2024 Free Agency

    Both Scruggs and Patterson showed enough in what they played last season that whoever wins the C position is worthy of the time to develop. If they don’t work out you move but you have to give time to develop there. At LG whichever of those doesn’t win at C goes into a battle with the 2 Green’s...

    2024 Free Agency

    He really wasn’t happy with his front 7! Collins always seemed like a role player on a bad team to me the time he was on the Texans, the last season it wasn’t exactly like DT was a strength, just it was improved, I see why we are moving on.

    2024 Free Agency

    Am I reading Spotrac correctly that Howard’s contract extension only actually kicks in this coming season? $30 million dead cap dump vs ~ $19 million cap hit to have him on the roster? How are we able to move him? I know there are way to salary dump the way we got rid of Osweiler but do we...

    2024 Free Agency

    I think this pretty much changed as the season progressed. Teams began by teeing off on our OL and hitting Stroud early, he then established that he could get the ball out real fast throwing receivers open with anticipation and beat the rush, that meant they had to ease off on pressure and play...

    2024 Free Agency

    I see them having covered all bases already. I think they back themselves to get Steven Nelson level production from Okudah, Autry is that DT AND the backup DE, another comes in somewhere, they are already free to do what they think is best in the draft, with those bases covered elsewhere. I...

    2024 Free Agency

    Hunter’s deal is $5m APY short of the $30m he was hoping for, he will want to renegotiate asap and will see us as a great opportunity to raise his market higher in a front 4 that it’s going to be hard to pick where to double team.

    2024 Free Agency

    If you can get Hunter signed till the end of WAj and CJ’s rookie deals then the money is kind of unimportant, you have near QB money available to pay to an over the top player like that, and you have to see the Anderson rookie contract money plus the Hunter contract money as one in terms of your...

    2024 Free Agency

    Funny thing I noticed was that he looked spent when playing against the Texans but was putting up good numbers in other games from what I can tell. The important thing I’m seeing in the deal they went for is that they didn’t want to commit to a multi year deal, they may ink Mixon to a deal and...

    2024 Free Agency

    Very pleased with the Al-Shaair signing, I was a bit disappointed we didn’t get him last year, I think he is a better fit with Ryan’s than he was on the Titans, the blurb on him seems to be not quite as positive as this time last year. Ryan’s knows exactly what he’s going to get from this...

    From what little I’ve read it is by and large down to extremely high rates of obesity, however a part of it is due to ultra processed sugary diets. Now I would guess that while the obesity part of the equation can be completely discounted for NFL draft picks, a lot of them aren’t all in on whole...
