Watson hasn't been traded so far because his legal issues haven't been resolved. What do you think the odds are that Watson will resolve these issues in the next four months? So, do you think Watson will be traded come March, when trading resumes?
I think there may be some truth to this. I think a big part of what makes NE works is the development of coaches & that's where most acolytes fail.Does anyone think that perhaps they hired Culley because they thought he was the best man for the job? Can't imagine why, but with all the conspiracy theorists coming up with other reasons, that might be why Culley has the job. Which should really make you worry.
I do hope you are wrong about Howard. During the off season and training camp, he should be moved back to RT, his best position,, with Tunsil at LT. We need to draft two OG's with high picks and a C.
I'd like to see how Britt finishes the season
Next season will be his 9th. And his current contract is only for one year. My concern would always be, can he stay healthy. I'd wouldn't mind if he was resigned, to tutor a young center. I'd like to draft a C in the 4th, maybe the 3rd, to develope with the two OG's I'd draft in the 1st and 2nd.

Well, we have a new GM now to evaluate and draft. The past is behind us. I'll wait and see how Caserio performs.
I don't think it would be a Culley decision. And I'd have to ask, what would be accomplished making this move; what could or would Kelly do differently. What I'd like to see, actually we'd never know, is this discussed behind closed doors between Caserio, Culley and Kelly. And then a decision made. To make the change now or after the season. If now, Kelly would pad his resume and make a case to retain him, rather than look elsewhere.
I liked Davenport as a project. He started way too early I think. Then had a bad injury after traded away. 4th round was a good pick for him. Heck was also a 4th round pick. A good pick, I think.
Definitely embarrassing the way the offense has performed, but I think that has more to do with play calling and player talent level. Culley is trying to be a HC where he entrusts the coordinators to make calls, adjustments etc. He may be aware but I don't think he would take over during a game. That whole thing about being a running team was a result of the QB situation, the roster and an attempt at minimizing mistakes while enduring this rebuild. Cook blasted the team (the Big 3) and we know Culley is not a decision maker on personnel moves. If Cooks or any offensive player placed their ire at Culley, I bet discipline would have happened.
I think it depends on his coaching staff. If we can get Nagy as OC next season he might start to look like a competent HC.
I believe it was Mr Tex that talked about this offense having no flow, no way of attacking etc. Well that isn't just this year and Kelly has been a part of this offense during that time. Right now perhaps Pep's experience around offenses can at least contribute to better flow during the game. Even if not, he should know what Mills (assuming Tyrod is out/benched) is comfortable with since he has been the QB coach.
Watson is responsible for his self-destructive and horrible behavior (alleged). You can keep posting and trying to convince posters that Watson is the nexus of all the Texans' problems. However, at the end of the day, last time I checked. Derrick's mother did not trade Hopkins. Derrick didn't give himself a $150 million contract. He did not promote O'Brien to GM. He didn't hire Easterby. He didn't promote Easterby. He didn't fire Gaine. He didn't fire Kubiak and kept Rick Smith. He didn't fire O'Brien and kept Kelly. He didn't tamper with Caserio and he didn't hire Culley.
Yea wouldn't be surprised if that's just about how it went down with the Cully hire.
I could be wrong, but I don’t think anyone is saying we’d be in the playoff hunt with better coaching. Only that something is wrong, especially on offense. 140 some yards a game , 14ppg… that’s hella bad & there’s no excuse for it.
Bingo. During Kubiak's 2-14 season. The team lost 10 or 11 games by seven or fewer points. After games, you could at least say, they were competitive and a break here or there would have changed the outcome. You felt the team went through a streak of bad luck. Foster and Tate combined for over 1000 yards. Foster averaged 4.5 YPC. They were losing games, but you didn't feel that Wade Phillips or Kubiak were in over their heads.
That's not the point. I'm using Tate and Foster as an example of even during a 2-14 season, you saw a level of competency.
Sigh. That's not the point. I'm simply saying being a bad team does not automatically make the team terrible in every offensive category. Look at Detroit. They are 1-10-1. Their offense and defense are ranked similar to the Texans. They are just as bad. However, they have two RBs averaging over 4.0 YPC. They are targeting the RBs more and more in the passing game. You can look at their games and see what they are trying to do. This Texans' team is struggling to cross midfield. In today's NFL, that's unheard of.
Culley will be back. But deserves got nothing to do with it. 4 years left on his deal has everything to do with it.
Have you been watching the Bears offense? But, I think you're right about Nagy becoming OC, anyway.
I don't want to steal Coach Culley's "thunder", but we've seen Caserio perform. Like Culley, he's almost finished his 1st year. And like Culley, he's had mitigating factors that have affected his performance. But can we point to anything positive either of these guys have accomplished? Plenty of negatives for both. Their contracts demand additional chances. But what we've seen thus far, sucks.
I think we are going in a circle here. I understand what Culley and Caserio inherited. I expected the losing. However, I don't understand the excuses for an NFL team to get the ball with 48 seconds, going against a prevent defense and punting with 20 seconds left. Do you know how hard that is to do? Again, it's one thing to expect them to be terrible. But this is beyond terrible.
Yes, last year's draft. And this year's draft is what I was referring to, for how well he drafts.Culley will be back. But deserves got nothing to do with it. 4 years left on his deal has everything to do with it.

Of course if "sucks" was what they were shooting for, then bravo.
I love that line.
There's nothing going right for this offense. Game planning, game calling, execution.... can't run, can't screen, can't throw more than 15 yards downfield... the offense probably average 13 yards per possession & I'm being generous.

Actually, Foster got injured early in the 7th game after just 4 carries. He tried to go the next game, but couldn't; the Texans had to put him on IR.

BOB got fired after going 0-4, losing by an average of 12 points per game, with the 4th loss against a below average Vikings team.
