Damn. Bullough gone.
And Ferentz.
Those are two players that deserve to play nfl football on a 53 man roster.

I thought Dent got cut...
I don't see him cut in any of the tweets or in P. D. Starr's list.
Here's the link to PD Starr's list.
When does 5'10" 190 equate to "good size"? And I thought we were talking about talent? Good size has nothing to do with talent, anyway.
Obviously, those that regarded Harris highly (at any point) were wrong.
All the cuts make good sense to me. I ended up a really big Ferentz fan, despite the fact that he's about this tall _. I'd like to see him return.
My PS once they clear waivers

Nwachukwu, Uzoma WR 5-11 198 23 2 Texas A&M
Hazel, Paul
Just really want him on the squad lolGroves isn't eligible anymore... and you've got him listed twice. And I really don't think he's eligible twice.![]()
If we're going to start picking up waiver wire guys, we're going to have to cut guys from here.
I'd like to see Clabo, Keo, Dent/Mohamad, Brown, and Martin upgraded if possible.
I'd like to see the QB position in general be upgraded. Just need to find the next Kurt Warner.I'd like to see keenum upgraded
Groves isn't eligible anymore...![]()
One other thing to at least be aware of is that vested veterans (four or more years in the league) get their entire annual base salary guaranteed if they're on the opening day roster.
Without commenting about the likelihood of it (cuz I got no earthly idea), that means that guys like Mathews and Groves could be signed back after the first game without being on the hook for their complete salary should they decide to part ways again down the road.
Is Matthews PS eligible?
How do you keep Ronnie Brown over Bullough?
Or Matthews, or either of the Aggie WR's for that matter....
Ronnie Brown is by far my biggest head-scratcher non-cut. Especially since as a 4th RB he has zero speed/ST ability
One of the best blocking RBs on the roster though, that is the only logic i see in why they kept him
They're going to run a new version of the wildcat, it's called the Sloth.
He's the new RB version of Kevin Walter.One of the best blocking RBs on the roster though, that is the only logic i see in why they kept him

http://espn.go.com/blog/houston-texans/post/_/id/7226/houston-texans-cut-down-analysis-3Ronnie Brown extends his career: With a promising rookie backup in Alfred Blue, who is still learning to catch and pick up blitzes, the Texans need a talented veteran to help mentor Blue and Jonathan Grimes, another young player who played his way onto the roster his summer. They'll get that in Brown, a good locker room presence who is entering his 10th NFL season. That is, of course, not the only reason the Texans are keeping Brown. That would be silly. He can still play and fill in where necessary.

FWIW here's ESPNs take on the Texans retaining Brown on their roster.

I've thought the same thing. Something seems off.Because Foster is not a good veteran to help the young guys along?
arian foster is not exactly reliable or someone i'd want our players to learn from. He's an aloof, hippie pieceashit who is insufferable off the field.

If Nix is still not ready to play, they should IR him and get him in shape for 2015. But, I thought he was cleared to play? If so, is that really

Right. Foster is a loyal family man.

Expect Jets to scour wire & explore/inquire about possible trades for CBs. Intriguing name to keep an eye on: Texans' Johnathan Joseph #nyj
Hmmmm.... this could be interesting...

Thoughts on Joseph's trade value? Probable cap casualty heading into next year.
