Death to Google Ads! Texans Talk Tip Jar! 🍺😎👍
Thanks for your support!
According to Bob Allen on channel 13 tonight. He said that Jacoby Jones days are numbered and the Texans are looking to move him before the draft and get a draft pick for him. Bob Allen said they Texans are tired of his fumbling problem and his maturity. Also they know he won't break the top 4 WR on this team.
Sorry, no link to this. Like I said, I saw this on the news tonight.
JJ had some very good moments, though he's had worse ones that overshadow his accomplishments...I do get tired of holding my breath when the opposing team punts the ball....
Here's my chant that I yell over and over during every single punt return:
"don't fumble, don't fumble, don't fumble, hey where's JJs mama sittin' today, don't fumble, don't fumble, hold on to it!"
what did JJ do as of recently to warrant being traded? i dont see any reason to give up on a guy so young so soon unless another team was bowling us over with a trade offer of draft picks
I'm mixed on this decision but I'm thrilled to see the team making moves and decisions with such conviction. It seems clear that they have an agenda and it's about to be worked out!
I can't tell if this is sarcastic, so I will treat it as if it is not. He is an all or nothing kind of returner: big return or dancing/fumbling. How many times have we cowered if there was a punt. I know I have been terrified of hom dropping the ball on the ground.
Come on guys. It's clear now. They are for sure drafting Maclin. Can't believe nobody has made the connection.

Just to clarify things, how many fumbles did he actually have during the 2008 season? Im not talking bobbles or close calls, I'm talking actual fumbles. I dont see it listed on ESPN

2007- 2 fumbles/2 fumbles lost
2008- 4 fumbles/1 fumble lost

Muffs are turnovers but don't count as fumbles. A muff is when a returner touches the ball but never gains control of it... The ball becomes live and the opposing team can recover but not advance the ball. I can count 4 oozing stomach ulcers that are direct results of his muffs. Ulcers aren't yet an official stat, by the way.
If they can get a 5th round pick for him in this deep of a draft, I'd consider that a reasonable deal. Boy, he and Jerome Mathis are really following similar career paths, huh.
...His immaturity and carelessness are what our coaches should be correcting.
Sometimes players just don't have what it takes. Jacoby obviously does, if he can get past the mental stuff. This reflects poorly on our coaching, in my opinion.
The guys cap figure this season is only 650,000, meaning we're only freeing up about 200,000 bucks in cap room by cutting him. He's not a hindrance to the team (as far as I can tell). Wait until preseason and see if a year of offseason gets him to grow up
Can you say Quan Cosby in the 6th or 7th?!
Im going to go out and say I hope they keep him around. I dont know what hes like behind the scenes, but the guy obviously has potential. His immaturity and carelessness are what our coaches should be correcting.

Just for reference, Jacoby is 5th in the NFL in punt returns with an average of 12.1 yards per return. He was 3rd in the NFL with 2 punt returns for TDs.
He probably won the miami game for us because he changed the momentum with his kickoff for a td. I think the Texans would have been dead in the water if not for that.
Me too, but it is a little scary! I almost feel like we are going backwards. I understand starting fresh, but when Im reading Sage, Weaver, Jones ... yikes!
They obviously have a plan that they are not sharing with us (the NERVE!), the cap money being freed up sure does make one wonder
Who's that quick cat out of Abilene Christian thats a WR...ran a 4.3 somethin' Sat....nice target to snag....
How is it going backwards when you get rid of Weaver who's production amounts to almost nothing since he has been here. Sage is not going to start and he is going to be unhappy being a backup so might as well get rid of him and get a pick. Jones is the question mark here. He has shown sparks but he has also shown that he lacks discipline and concentration.
Johnny Knox, I believe. Awesome name, too.
Come on guys. It's clear now. They are for sure drafting Maclin. Can't believe nobody has made the connection.
I think we have his replacement already on the roster. Ladies and gents, meet Darnell Jenkins:

If something goes down, Maclin's value definitely just skyrocketed for us. I really really want to solidify our Defense but I'd take the pick of Maclin. I heard he hyperextended his knee today. Is that true? If so, I don't know the longterm effects or recovery time but It sounds somewhat serious.
It is probably more with what he is not doing or doing behind the scenes. He has went from a preseason hyped rookie who had a clear path to the number 2 job, to a KO returner who barely lines up at WR at all. Teams don't sour on a guy in a couple of years unless he gives them reason.
I love draft picks! I love draft picks! I love draft picks! I love draft picks! I love draft picks!
