I don't get it
HT.com usually posts photos following each day of camp too
I dont get it either.
No more Hulks, that guy was unbearable.
I bet Texans Chick will have a little bit to say about it and will keep us in the loop.
We are very lucky with the fans we have. Between Texans Chick stories and Bullpen (Andy) Photos pictures, we seem to be blessed. The only thing we really need the Chronic for is house training our pets.
All I'm saying is that Gibbs is a magician. I'm nearly as big a fan of the Texans as I am of Wake Forest. I lived in Spring from 01-03, and got hooked (so to speak). I just don't post much.
HT.com has really jumped to the top of NFL team websites. Go look at TitansOnline.com and be thankful we have a MUCH better organization.
i have faith in the o-line...i will be watching the WLB spot....It will be interesting to see when Adibi takes over.
We have really need some one with speed & power to shut down Dallas Clark !!

To shut down Dallas Clark would require better play at the SLB position, not the WLB position.
To my understanding, we aren't running a scheme with a specific SAM or WILL OLB. Meaning, if Clark motions to the formerly weak side, our OLB's do not switch either. Our LB's line up in the same position at all times, thus disregarding the SAM and WILL terms. I believe our OLB's are expected to be capable of playing either side. Also, if Clark runs a crossing or drag route, which is common for receiving TE's, the OLB that was over him initially should not follow him and vacate his zone of the coverage. There has to be communication between the LB group, as with any unit. and since we do not distinguish FS and SS, safety help is sometimes able to be given to the TE, which is why at times we see the S out of position down the field.

I've been thinking that they were gonna leave greenwood there and put adibi on the other side of DeMeco. Or am i lookin at it wrong?

I like the 4/3 defense, but don't really care for our implementation of it in some cases. Why not put your best corner on the offenses best WR? Instead they play a side. Well duh. If I am the O-coord, all I have to do is make sure my #1 lines up on the opposite side. Seems pretty dumb to say the least.

Eeeeeewwww...
I've noticed this too, though. HT.com has the best design, coverage, and interactivity of any NFL team site.
I'd like to hear a coach explain it in more detail than "it helps us disguise our coverage" but a lot of teams have chosen to go that route.
Who else uses that, do you know? I don't understand what is tricky or disguising about sitting on one side of the field, and staying there. Obviousely, there is some legit reason for it whether right or wrong. It just seems that you would want your best on their best.

What's tricky is that they line up the same whether it's zone or man. They blitz from the same positions. So you don't know which receiver is your hot read and there's a chance with some offenses that if the receiver and QB read the coverage differently, that they'll actually be on different pages and end up making a mistake (QB throwing to an empty space, etc.).
Instead of looking like it's man and shifting to zone or looking like it's zone and shifting to man or disguising blitzes or whatever, it looks the same every time. It looks vanilla. But then from that vanilla base, they could go into almost any type of defense. If it works, it's great. But you've got to have guys that can move.
But couldn't you disguise the zone/man part of it while still lining up over the oppostions best WR rather than play one side of the field? I mean you could still go into a zone from that right? I'm not arguing just asking. I'm simply trying to figure out what perceived advantage it is for the Dback to line up on one side only. Simplicity? I really don't know, but it's something that keeps bugging me about our system.
does this weekend's mini-camp include the vets, as well as the rookies?
McClain (take that FWIW) has covered all his bases by saying he will start behind Greenwood but if he comes on fast will compete with Diles. Thanks Captain Obvious.
LOL.
The best way to get news on minicamp is to check out HT.com and see if the Chronicle increases their coverage.
I don't have access to minicamp, so I will be like the rest of the people digging through the tea leaves of whatever comes out of camp.

Yea I agree. They are very fast and are constantly update the website at HT.com. I've been thoroughly impressed throughout the past year.

I heard on the radio that Brown will be the starting Left Tackle as of right now.
