Bmac is strictly holefiller and run stopper and he isn't doing much of that lately. He needs to go.
Better if we can trade but I can't imagine him at edge. He needs way more speed. He is good MLB for years ago. I've discussed trading him for two years but I doubt anyone wants him. There was some talk before season that he had been offered as part of a trade proposal.Yeah he can go. I'm just saying if they can't move him or don't want to release him. I'd try to get more production out of him by playing him in the edge on the weakside.
If its cheaper to cut him then thats the route I'd go.
There's not many players on the defense that I'd actually look at as long term solutions though.
As I have posted before elsewhere I say outside of quarterback a running back is the most likely to have a huge impact on a team. Even greater than a WR who can score, a back scores but has larger impact in ball control and protecting QB with blocking and dump plays. Watching players like AP, Tennessee's Derek Henry and Dallas EE keeping their teams interesting.
I want Alabama's Najee Harris as I did Damien Harris and Josh Jacobs but to get him we have to use our third in ' 21 at minimum and that is only if we end up picking high.
Le'Veon Bell if available to Houston is intriguing. I hope to see CnnnD give his current
Medical opinion on Bell's hamstring. If he were to remain on IR with the new rules for a few weeks I would still be interested. With a 'good' contract he could be a better option after this season than David Johnson.
Plus frees up our third which we desperately can use elsewhere.
Yes. as you may recall I wanted him to come to Houston after he left Pittsburgh. However looking back I think he would have had the same coaching issues with O'Brien as he did with Gage in New York. There is some risk with Bell, I think he would be very good here. A solid back who can block and catch if we have HC that knows how to use him. RAC 's 'let the boys play' seems to be what Bell needs plus he should get the respect he craves.Thought the same thing when I heard the Jets cut him. We all know he can be a very productive RB as proven with the Steelers. As for his time with the Jets....cut and paste Texans only with a winning record during that period of time. Not so much this season but it could be getting better. More importantly, do we really need a Johnson-N-Johnson to do the same exact thing? Bell would be a nice addition for the remainder of this season and a key piece next season when the Texans can cut ties with David J. If the Texans got him now and he got on the field by game 9.....he'd be fully acclimated to the offense by seasons end and better prepared for RB1 duties in 2021.
While Kyle Trask has moved up projected mock drafts, today's game first half vs LSU he has thrown two interceptions and just had a turn over fumble allowing LSU to kick field goal with five seconds left. LSU 24 Florida 17.Red shirt senior QB Kyle Trask 6'5" 239 University of Florida from Manville Texas. Pocket passer.
2019 played all 12 but took over in game two and started rest of season
11-2. 237 of 354 attempts 67% 2,941
25 Yrs with 7 INTs. 156 passes rating.
3 Yrs vs LSU followed by 4 Yrs vs South Carolina. Manning award finales and SEC Academic Honor role
I have him round three but high ceiling.

Yes I watched that and he plays behind Najee Harris who has 22 TDs this season.My guy in the 4th/5th rd, Brian Robinson RB Alabama scored 3 TD's last week.
Hubbard will run in the low 4.3s at the combine, and go about 40 picks before the Texans draft. If they take a RB in the 3rd, Miss State's Kylin Hill would be a possibility. A slasher with excellent hands, Hill reminds me a lot of Kareem Hunt.Oklahoma State running back chubba Hubbard has announced he is opting out remainder of 2020 schedule to prepare for NFL 2021 draft. I am very interested in Hubbard for Houston.

Agree but if we don't get Hubbard in the third I would hold off until later rounds to get a running back. That 3rd is so important.Hubbard will run in the low 4.3s at the combine, and go about 40 picks before the Texans draft. If they take a RB in the 3rd, Miss State's Kylin Hill would be a possibility.

Hubbard is plenty fast .... but at 6'1" 207, I don't think he would last very long .... without at least one, if not two from Steel's trio up there !Agree but if we don't get Hubbard in the third I would hold off until later rounds to get a running back. That 3rd is so important.

Just curious on what you think makes Hubbard special and worthy of the Texans 1st pick in the 2021 draft (for now)?Agree but if we don't get Hubbard in the third I would hold off until later rounds to get a running back. That 3rd is so important.
long and lanky doesn't wear as well as short and dense when it comes to Bell Cow Back .... see Texans - last season - wins/losses - rushing yards - 6'0" - 230 !
Just looked them up - George - 6'3" - 240, Peterson - 6'1" - 220. I've been studying it for years .... began with Earl - 5'11 - 235 .... I wondered how he could be that size and have he speed and endurance. I asked Bum about it .... he said that Earl was just a physical marvel .... said that he was such a superior athlete, that in the 4th quarter, he became even more dominant - he wore 'em down ! I want Trey Sermon - he just ran for 331 yards !!See Eddie George- 6'3" and Adrian Peterson- 6'1 1/2"
I wonder how much longer Earl would have lasted if he didn't have to hit the ground at least 8 games a year on the thin layer of AstroTurf and solid concrete underneathJust looked them up - George - 6'3" - 240, Peterson - 6'1" - 220.

What do you guys think about North Carolina running back Javonte Williams? He's turned it around really good this year average 7.26 running and over 12 receiving.I'm liking
RB Robinson- Alabama
RB Stephenson- OU
Love Hill too though.

Hubbard would be teamed with Rhamondre Williams 6'0 236.Just looked them up - George - 6'3" - 240, Peterson - 6'1" - 220. I've been studying it for years .... began with Earl - 5'11 - 235 ....

I am not a big follower of North Carolina but JW just really stands out. And gives us another option. I would love to be able to go simply with a different position but we have to have a running game. Enough so that I am contemplating drafting two. If Javonte is all that his review implies I think we could just go with him.I think I saw him early in the season .... couldn't remember .... looked him up ....5'10" 220 .... part of the state champ 4x100 champs - hell yeah !

I've just seen highlights, but he's fast/runs hard and has great contact balance. Certainly worth a rd 3 pick if he's good catching the ball and pass pro. |
Yeah I'm interested in drafting two. I do enjoy having a fast RB. I just want two that can alternate, move the ball keeping the offense of the other team on the bench and score TDs. We need to have a running back that can get points.I just watched 3 tapes on him .... he's got talent for days ! If he's a secret now, he won't be for long ! You can't just go with him though. I'd like to have a scatback and a big boy, or a fullback .... and not the one we have !
Jobe did great but had two huge errors. One was lining up offside causing Florida to get another chance and they scored. I mock him round 4 but will not be surprised if he moves up.Because of Direct TV/Channel 11, I didn't get to watch Alabama/Fla. Can anybody tell me how Jobe/Moses looked for Alabama. Also the DT Slayton/ DE Cox for Fla?

I understand your post but do not think there is a good cover linebacker. I also know you disagree. Next I am tired of drafting pass-rushers. it is time to develop Martin, Omenihu, Blacklock, etc and quit wasting draft picks. If a reasonable option for one exists in the 6th round I would Nod my head for that. I think that you agree that the production we have seen from Chad Henson decreases the need for a wide receiver with our top three picks. Isaiah Coulter also should impact the decision for that position.I would take Jobe in the 3rd.
Also if there was another good pass rusher available or a cover LB I would trade back up into the 3rd for one of those guys.

RB is highest priority no matter where we get one in draft as he can protect number four, improve the offensive line and all receivers plus the defense by keeping it off the field. Also the right running back will put touchdowns on the scoreboard. Therefore we have to strike it big in the running game. The later rounds the better but also increases the risk. I get the need for Effective pass rush however we keep spinning the cylinder with a hammer firing on a dud.
I can live with that but I am certainly un easy about the offensive line. Hoping a new line coach can correct devlin's mistakes.Since all of the holes cant be filled this yr
Give me Jobe/Best S and RB in rds 3-4

What happened to Justin Reid? He seems to just be disinterested for lack of a better word.
Yeah but I haven't heard that. Last season we were talking about him being a foundational position player not anywhere close to that this seasonI hope Reid was playing hurt.
I heard he was hurt .... I think on pregame. I never noticed him during the game. Seemed right to me because, even if you're just watching the ball, you end up seeing him - and often. It makes sense to me now .... glad I didn't hear he was in .... it would have forced bad words from my mouth !Yeah but I haven't heard that.

Surely they’re going to do a combine won’t they? If they can do games, should be no reason they can’t do a socially distant combine right?Hubbard will run in the low 4.3s at the combine,
I bet that the NFL already is working on just that subject matter. RE: my previous post Notre Dame did another fair catch of a kickoff and it was also brought out to the 25. I guess I missed that rule. I knew that kickoff allowed to go through the end zone are brought out to the 25.Surely they’re going to do a combine won’t they? If they can do games, should be no reason they can’t do a socially distant combine right?
Haven't heard anything about canceling the combine.Surely they’re going to do a combine won’t they? If they can do games, should be no reason they can’t do a socially distant combine right?
