    [ESPN] FB Vonta Leach eyes Texans return?

    I want to say it was profootball focus who ranked Jones as one of if not the best blocking FB in the past. It had to be prior to 2010 because he has been ranked top 3 by them since 2010. I guess I should've said he was ranked as one of the best in the past as opposed to the best, but I still...

    [ESPN] FB Vonta Leach eyes Texans return?

    Eh, I don't know about that. They worked together roughly just a little more then 1 season, which doesn't seem like a whole lot to judge on. Arian did have his best season w/ Leach at the lead but Arian continued to produce pretty well once Leach was gone & actually slightly outproduced Ray Rice...

    [Baltimore Sun] Ravens to cut or trade Vonta Leach

    Hopefully Jones can avoid the injury bug this season, but to be fair Jones did break or fracture, can't quite remember which it was, his leg last season to end up on IR. Before that he had played 2 full seasons w/out injury. I do prefer Jones' versatility compared to Leach & still believe he is...

    [Baltimore Sun] Ravens to cut or trade Vonta Leach

    I'm aware that Leach was a UFA when he left the Texans, BUT his request in salary was the issue between him & the Texans & once again money was the ultimate reason they allowed him to walk via free agency. Obviously the Ravens feel Leach isn't necessarily worth what they initially valued him...

    [Baltimore Sun] Ravens to cut or trade Vonta Leach

    Leach obviously believes his skills are worth more then what others believe they are worth. He was ultimately let go by the Ravens for the same reason the Texans let him go...money. I too believe he is bit overrated. Great blocker, but doesn't offer much else. I think Jones is a much better...

    ProFootballFocus' Top 101 Players in the NFL

    You don't say... Everyone is playing in a system??? LOL! Just messing w/ you! The point is Myers is not believed to be interchangable in any system. Some question whether or not ZBS o-lineman would actually be successful in other systems based on their size & skill set. I'm not saying I agree...

    Texans Garbage Time Strategy........

    I do agree there have been pressing issues on the defense, but WR has been a glaring need & it seemed pretty obvious that his approach in addressing the need was not quite working. Kubiak may have believed that you can just plug & play a player similar to the RB position, but all of the past...

    Texans Garbage Time Strategy........

    Hmmmmm....now I couldn't disagree more w/ almost everything you stated. If you think somehow Kubiak's personnel decisions, coaches & players, didn't have anything to do w/ a buddy system to which he was overly loyal to, then I question your vision because it was clear to most, if not all, that...

    ProFootballFocus' Top 101 Players in the NFL

    I think the biggest snub is Foster. Schaub...well...we all know what happened there.:deadhorse: Myers is a ZBS guy & it seems he is being overlooked based in it. Some may say the same about Foster, but I have my doubts that he could not be highly productive in other schemes.

    Texans Garbage Time Strategy........

    What's interesting about that statement is that not only could that have been the case, but it is ultimately a situation that Kubiak created & was not necessarily dealt. Kubiak chose to not address the WR position properly for years as he attempted to convince all that his offense could do well...

    Lestar Jean??????????????????????-

    Being stuck behind Kubiak's man crush Walter is one reason I feel Jean, as well as Martin & Posey for that matter, didn't get a real opportunity to show what they are capable of, but it seems that most seem to forget that Jean also suffered a knee injury & had torn cartilage repaired during the...

    Secret Superstar: Kareem Jackson

    That statement is not entirely accurate. I'm sure JJo did take some lumps his rookie season, but he only started 9 games & ended up still defending 20 passes. KJ didn't even defend 20 passes in first 2 seasons combined(16 to be exact). JJo started in 2007 & played well by most accounts. Then...

    Secret Superstar: Kareem Jackson

    I would have to agree. KJ is improving, but is not a superstar. He finally showed improvement last season, but when it's all said & done he has had more bad seasons then good ones thus far in his NFL career. I have been highly critical of KJ in the past & still believe he showed some of the...

    Texans OTAs thread (5/20-21, 23, 28-30, 6/3-6).

    Answers: 1) On the street. 2) Refer back to answer #1 I too believe there will be no drop off in production at NT w/ Mitchell & very easily could be an increase. Cody, IMO, was every bit the Kevin Walter of the defense w/ lackluster production & constantly had his small contributions over...

    Texans OTAs thread (5/20-21, 23, 28-30, 6/3-6).

    Kind of off subject, but ties into the d-line rotation. What are your impressions of Delano Johnson at DE thus far? I have read that he is impressing some w/ his transition, but do you believe he's capable of earning a roster spot? I realize the pads will show the true story, but if Delano gets...

    Schaub is the Rodney Dangerfield Of QBs He Gets No Respect!

    OBTUSE: Adjective Annoyingly insensitive or slow to understand. Difficult to understand. How is the above not considered an insult? Looks like a weak attempt as an insult towards me simply based on my disbelief of the theory that an unreported injury was the sole cause of Schaub's poor...

    And to think I thought the best word to describe those that regurgitate another's thoughts w/out offering their own to the subject would be "simpleton". :fingergun:

    Schaub is the Rodney Dangerfield Of QBs He Gets No Respect!

    The reason it is only 3 out of 32 is pretty simple. Not all 32 teams are in search or in need of quality QB's. C'mon now. Trying to exaggerate your point doesn't make it legit. I merely mentioned teams that had some success in acquiring a QB as you chose to leave them off of your prior list. It...

    Schaub is the Rodney Dangerfield Of QBs He Gets No Respect!

    I don't think I've missed the point because I believe I have already stated that the Texans aren't in the same place because they are invested in Schaub & obviously have not given up on him based in their actions or lack thereof. I also stated earlier that I believe Schaub deserves the...
