Death to Google Ads! Texans Talk Tip Jar! 🍺😎👍
Thanks for your support!
Having a couple of Wardens like Watt, Cush, Schaub and AJ certainly doesn't hurt the model. Especially AJ. If he gets in your grill, you either royally screwed up or you have a lot of talent and you're not putting in the effort to maximize it.my thought is the texan organisation wanted to set in stone a certain culture. Now that the team has core leaders and are winning its now when you can add in a few guys who have talent but mentally are a little suspect. Its a good model to go with ... if this is the case
Cushing was NOT a "choir boy" coming out of college, he had extensive steroid rumors popping up every where

I don't remember any rumors when he was in college or coming out, just that he tested positive for a substance "associated" with steroid use, but never steroids themselves once he was in the NFL.
Strange, the link just takes me back to this thread.
I fixed the link - try again.
Thanks. I had never heard that before he was drafted.
It's been changed for awhile now, people just like to keep the cute "they only draft choir boys" line going (Just look at the post above mine calling Cushing a warden...) Cushing was NOT a "choir boy" coming out of college, he had extensive steroid rumors popping up every where, yet the team that only drafts "choir boys" drafted him in the first round
Funny thing is, if you ever frequent other message boards.. every NFL fan around the league (outside of the Bengals) accuse their team of this. It's a joke. All teams take consideration into a player's past discretions and then also have to make the decision to pass or draft accordingly.
Travis Johnson... not a choir boy, plenty of warnings about attitude problems when he was coming out
Jerome Mathis... Had character issues coming out
Amobi Okoye admitted to smoking pot
Mario Williams was said to be a lazy player who takes plays off.
3 of those 4 players all had major question marks yet were first round picks. Holy hell, even if Sam Montgomery turns out to be a total bust/turd I won't care, because once and for all we'll be able to put this whole "Texans only draft high character choir boys" crap to bed. Especially when other teams are doing the same exact thing.
Really? What non-choir boys have we drafted this weekend? We don't select criminal or thugs but we have always had hard hitting guys with your adjectives. Briesel was known to have a bit of nastiness as has Antonio Smith & many players have had swagger Like Dunta, Johnathan Joseph, Watt & Cushing.Looks like it's finally changing and I love it. Adding guys with a mean streak, nastiness and swagger, I think can only help the team. Having nothing but choir boys is one of the things that got us BEAT down in Foxboro twice.

Who?One of their UDFAs has multiple arrests, a DUI charge in April 2012 that I can't find the disposition of. He has attended 3 or 4 colleges.
Who?
Willie Jefferson. He's a Head case...:kubepalm:
