infantrycak said:IMO it isn't the pick that is the issue it is the contract and cap ramifications. Heck a 2nd rounder for Alexander or James seems very reasonable. But, look at the contract just signed by Lamont Jordan--5 years, $27.5 mil. Guaranteed Alexander and James want more than that. DD is $497 K on the cap this year.
Rosenhaus really isn't a bad guy. He's helpful, smart, and gets the job done at all cost. I respect him a lotCarr Bomb said:especialy when Drew "Robsyaoutayahouseandhome" is James' agent.

Fletch said:for a team as "blah" and uncreative as the texans i find it amazing that we have so few needs according to the members of this site. 0-line, not a problem. rb, no need for a pro-bowler since we have a super durable, blocking machine in Davis.
the only need ive seen anyone express on offense is WR. which is fairly odd since the offense is supposed to be a smashmouth running machine. as it is we have a finesse back running behind one of the leagues worst o-lines. while id love to get a WR to compliment Andre, we could use someone like the Edge especially for a measly 2nd and 5th round pick. Last i checked this guy is one of the 2-3 best producers at his position in the game. You want to help Carr, you get a dependable back behind him and a competant line in front of him. We have second stringers on the line right now and runningback that is not and never will be a franchise level player. And our depth behind him is about as solid as the depth we have on the offensive line.

DocBar said:Maybe he can string a whole season together live up to some of the trash he talked last year about rushing for 2,000 yds(like that will happen).
PLANNING on something is a lot different than saying it to the media. That is especially true of a 2nd yr player, a 4th rnd. draft pick no less, saying he is going to do what only very few of the greatest have ever done. 2,00 yds is an admirable goal, but a foolish thing to go around talking about. And DD said " my goal is 2,000 yds. rushing this yr". No if's, and's or but's.infantrycak said:Holy crud people learn to read more than two words/numbers out of a sentence. DD said something like I am shooting for 2000 yds, I want to get 2000 yds, or I am really excited by this new zone blocking scheme and think behind it I can get 2000 yds. It wasn't trash talking like "no RB is better than me", "I am the best of all time," etc. Optimism/hopes are not the same thing as trash talk. I would hope Carr is shooting for 4000 yds next year and AJ is shooting for 2000 yds.

I hope the O-line performs well enough to make oppossing defenses pay attention to Mark Bruener and what he's gonna do.infantrycak said:Not offended at all. You just happened to take the flak for making a comment a hundred people have made before. On the other hand, with people complaining DD doesn't take enough attention away from AJ, then those folks should hope DD talks all kinds of smack to make the D concentrate on him.
