Big Nasty for LG?
Former Texans offensive tackle Charles Spencer, who has been out of football because of a badly broken leg he suffered as a rookie in 2006, is getting a tryout with the team today.
Spencer said general manager Rick Smith called and talked to him about a tryout.
Its a blessing, said Spencer, who resides in Houston. I was looking for another opportunity, and the first team to call is the one that I have unfinished business with. I cant thank Rick enough.
Spencer, who was given the nickname Big Nasty, was the first pick in the third round and earned a starting job at left tackle as a rookie before suffering the injury in the second game at Indianapolis. He underwent surgery and rehabilitation.
Spencer signed with Jacksonville in 2008 but didnt play for the Jaguars.
I cant tell you how excited I am just to get a tryout, Spencer said.
It would be a great comeback story if he were to become a player for us after all that he's been through.
I'm pulling for the big fella. I want to see him make it back.

Based on what I have read on the main site. It sounds like Rick is checking options. Also tried out Salaam. Looks like they are more than a little concerned about depth and perhaps starters. Personally, I would really like it if "Big Nasty" were able to make it back with us. Even if it was only as a backup player.
I can see him in red zone where you don't have to worry so much about a quick DE getting outside and circling to kill Schaub. That example and maybe 3rd and short. What Olineman gives you confidence?

When, 3rd and short? I have faith that either Brown or Winston could move his man the necessary 1 yard. I have ZERO amount of faith in anybody between them however. I know, I know, Spencer isn't right for the system...change it then. Make a system that has mostly fast guys that get to the 2nd level but also keeps a BIG NASTY at OG to hold the point so that when the RB collects a handoff it's not the opposing DT handing the ball off.I can see him in red zone where you don't have to worry so much about a quick DE getting outside and circling to kill Schaub.

eriadoc, I know of many medications that can help you out with your delusions.Chris Myers?
I like that idea. Every line needs a big mauler. Just like every D needs a fat **** to eat space.
Funny. We don't seem to have either on the Texans roster....

"We worked out Charles and Ephraim to see where they both are (physically)," coach Gary Kubiak said. "If we have some concerns down the road, the depth of our tackle position, we wanted to work them out."
We drafted extra TEs instead. Probably really good TEs, but you know ....
Chris Myers?
Guys, Spencer and Ephraim Salaam were brought in to see if they could be viable calls during the season if one of the OTs got hurt. The team did not intend to sign them today. The team is only trying to find the names of guys to add to a list.

To me, this is Kubiak saying everyone who's not Winston, DBrown or Butler sucks....and I agree.
I didn't notice Pemberton or that converted TE guy, but Stenavich was rag-dolled. Getting thrown around by 2's, 3's and maybe even 4's can't make a head coach feel real good.
Not Spencer related but Texans "have expressed interest" in former Bears G Josh Beekman.
Even though he wasn't injured, Josh Beekman finished Thursday night's game on the sideline.
Beekman started against the 49ers and in the previous two games at left guard in place of Frank Omiyale, who started the first six games. But Omiyale was in the game for the final possession, which consisted of 11 pass plays.
"We just liked Frank's [Beekman's counterpart] ability to pass block," coach Lovie Smith said. "We were in a different mindset there at the end of the game when we had to pass the football. We like Frank a little bit more in that situation."
Beekman said he practiced with the starters on Monday but declined to speculate beyond that.
"Coach [has] the final say," Beekman said. "So we'll see what happens and just come out and improve and get better."
Beekman's blocking helped spring Matt Forte for a total of 68 yards on two screen plays, but he's had trouble dealing with bigger tackles.
"I watched the tape, and I just have to do a little better battling big guys," Beekman said. "Olin [Kreutz] showed me some techniques [Monday] of bull rushing and things like that, and I was just working on that and getting better. That's my job.
"I had pluses and minuses [Thursday], but the ultimate job is to go out there and have no minuses, be like the Pro Bowlers that I play next to. That's the goal."
Beekman plays between six-time Pro Bowler Kreutz and seven-time Pro Bowl left tackle Orlando Pace.
Chester Pitts is on the PUP in Seattle?
DAMN RON DAYNE!
I think we should start using that as a running gag for any bad turn of events whether Dayne was involved or not. Since it won't go away lets just use it.
"Yao Ming broke his foot again! DAMN RON DAYNE!" for instance.
We could even do a double tap "Charlton Heston" style when something was really bad. "DAMN RON DAYNE, DAMN HIM TO HELL!"
