Updated Roster (Post-Draft)

[Marshall]

Maybe they keep 10 other than the 53 for practice squad. I have learned and still learning more here about that when reading these posts over the years and guess what I still get confused. Lots of knowledgeable posters here

I may have wrongly considered the PS as roster slots in coming up with 12, but that's no excuse, particularly since PS players have to be cut and clear waivers.

 

[Marshall]

He's reportedly having back surgery today. See post 342.

I have to remember to refresh my screen every once in a while.

 

[ghostlight]

i have to reboot often

 

[Shaft75]

So, no shockers as of yet...

Wonder if we are taking in a new qb3 or opening the door for another special teamer.

- Marshall

 

[Shaft75]

And I'll add that I'm happy to see Nix cut. Dude was blown up constantly and Covington seems to have more consistency and drive. I'm excited about the Rice product. Looks like a good draft pick for us.

 

[ghostlight]

How is the Sat. noon cut deadline factored? Is the cut time based on PST or ET?

Tania Ganguli ‏@taniaganguli

O'Brien is asked if Clowney will start. Says that'll depend on how they line up, etc. Adds that decision won't be about his health. #Texans

O'Brien says he doesn't have a pitch count ready for Clowney yet, but he's done well. #Texans

O'Brien says Charles James is still in the discussion. #Texans still have a few decisions to make.

O'Brien says they weren't sure initially how Keshawn Martin fit in their offense. Said he's had a good camp, did well past 2 games. #Texans

"The preseason has concluded, but the competition never ends," O'Brien on safety. Seems like Pleasant has tentatively won that job.

O'Brien thinks Savage took a step in the right direction mentally last night. Liked his response to the turnovers. #Texans

O'Brien said the #Texans already started working on Kansas City (week 1) and even Carolina (week 2) last week. Didn't plan much for Dallas.

O'Brien says they're still talking about how to deal with QBs on roster. Brings up possibility of bringing in a practice squad QB. #Texans

Bill O'Brien says Tom Savage will miss some significant time. Says it won't need surgery. #Texans​

Mark Berman ‏@MarkBermanFox26

#Texans cut WR Chandler Worthy

Bill O'Brien on NT Christian Covington (former @RiceFootball1 star) said there's things he does well,is active pass rusher & had a good camp

Bill O'Brien said Charles James (@ShutDownCB1) is in "the thick of it. He's in the discussion." #Texans

Bill O'Brien on @KeshawnMartin82 : Early on was not sure how he would fit, said he's had a good camp and his last 2 games were good.

Bill O'Brien said he thought Tom Savage responded well prior to injury. Said the pick-6 is on him. O'Brien didn't like his play call #Texans

Bill O'Brien said #Texans will consider adding another QB because of the injury to Tom Savage. May add 1 to practice squad.

Bil O'Brien on Tom Savage's injury: "I wouldn't call it anything that will require surgery. I do think he will miss some significant time."​

Adam Wexler ‏@awexler

"I'm not sure if i have a 'pitch count' for him yet for 1st game," O'Brien on how much Clowney plays in 1st game. But expects him to play

"He's had a good camp. There's things that he does well. He's an active pass rusher, he's versatile," O'Brien on Christian Covington

As of now, the return man spot is not locked in, could be a week-to-week thing, O'Brien said. Mumphrey, Demps could be the guys.

Duane Brown said yesterday he felt confident he'll play in week 1, O'Brien expressed same confidence that Brown would

Sounds like a slogan you might see around the locker room. "The preseason is over, but the competition never ends," - O'Brien. #Texans

O'Brien said the Savage INT on the 2yd line was on O'Brien for a bad play call.

O'Brien on practice squad - you want guys that will eventually play for you. You hope they can clear waivers

He definitely did something to his shoulder, said he wouldnt call it anything that'd require surgery but he'll miss time. OBrien on Savage

O'Brien acknowledges he's a tad early, says team still in process of getting roster to 53. #Texans​

Jayson Braddock ‏@JaysonBraddock

Last question was in regards to Pagan at NT & DE.

Pagan has improved. He's a little up and down at times. We'll go look back at the tape but he's done some good things the last 2 weeks."

"We do. We have a lot of guys that's really go to bat for a guy. Put cut-up together, watch a lot of film & make a decision."

On prepping for Chiefs: "We started some KC prep last week. Probably 3 or 4 periods on KC. Really get started on scouting reports Monday"

"The preseason has concluded but the competition never ends." On if he's decided on SS

"I don't think we look at it by position. We look at by best available players. More about who's the best player out there." On Waivers

"We have a pretty good feeling on that. And I say "we"." On knowing who may go to practice squad.​

Aaron Wilson ‏@AaronWilson_NFL

Texans cut wide receiver Chandler Worthy, according to a source. Team would like to have him on practice squad

Bill O'Brien on Jadeveon Clowney: 'He's come a long way. I do anticipate him playing in that game.' Kansas City Chiefs is the opener

Bill O'Brien on Jadeveon Clowney said; "I don't know if I have a pitch count for him in the first game.'

Bill O'Brien said Jeoffrey Pagan has improved, was a little 'up-and-down at times,in the discussion.'

Bill O'Brien on Christian Covington: 'Good kid, he's an active pass rusher, gotten better in 3-4, versatile. Had a good camp.'

Bill O'Brien on trade inquiries: 'We have a very competitive roster with a lot of players on our roster that a lot of other teams like.'

Bill O'Brien: 'Charles James is in the thick of it.'

Bill O'Brien said Keith Mumphery, Quintin Demps are among candidates for return job

Bill O'Brien on return game: 'Work in progress.'

Bill O'Brien reiterated what Duane Brown said, that Pro Bowl left tackle will play in opener.

Bill O'Brien on Keyshawn Martin: 'He's having a good camp. He's in the thick of it.'

Bill O'Brien on Keyshawn Martin: 'He's a very hard-working guy, good hands, smart player, he goes out every day and works.'

Bill O'Brien on strong safety: 'The competition never ends. Competitive battle goes on each week.'

Bill O'Brien on Chris Clark: 'I thought for only being out there a few days, I thought he did a good job. It's a new language for him.'

Bill O'Brien: 'I did like that they competed. I thought they played hard and smart for the most part.'

Bill O'Brien on the Cowboys game: "I think it was a struggle last night.'

Bill O'Brien says he has a pretty good idea of who will be on the practice squad

Bill O'Brien said Tom Savage will have to undergo a few MRIs. Signing a new QB is a discussion they're having or going practice squad QB

Bill O'Brien on Tom Savage: 'No surgery, but he'll miss some significant time.'

Bill O'Brien: 'It's a very difficult process. These guys give you everything you've got.'​

[Number19]

Worthy was on my 53. I'm a believer in having a quality return specialist and believe that Worthy was our best prospect for this duty. Anyone else who will be filling this role won't be "special".

Jayson Braddock ‏@JaysonBraddock

After the reported moves the Texans have made, the roster should be at 63. That leaves 10 more moves to be made, cuts, IR, IR-DFR, trades...

My guess would be that 10 of these guys are involved:

INJURY: Savage, Slade, Ballentine

Dan Pettinato, Joseph Treadwell, Fili Moala, Tony Washington, Kendall Lamm, Keshawn Martin, Lynden Trail, Karlos Thompson, Kurtis Drummond, Chris Polk, Charles James, Jumal Rolle​

Well yeah. Kind of makes O'Brien sound like an idiot. If we score a touchdown is he going to jump up and down shouting "HOME RUN!" and during the post game interview say "When we scored that Home Run in the last few minutes of the 4th inning, I knew we were going to win.

It's colloquial, man.

If you say so. More likely that he just misspoke because I have heard him say "Snap Count" any other time.

Pitch count has commonly been used in discussing JD and throughout the NFL.

 

[Mollywhopper]

You've never heard a football coach refer to a deep threat at wr as a "home run hitter"? I've heard of some qb's refered to as the point guard of their offense, because they were asked to simply distribute more than take big chances. No one thought these people were actually talking about baseball or basketball. But sure, if you want to think that OB really did forget that he was talking about the sport of football for that instant, the sport his entire life revolves around, then ya, ok.

PDS @PatDStat

Early reports said Chad Slade needs back surgery, that is still up in the air. Still looking at options would not count him out for 53.​

 

[Brandon420tx]

I'd like to see us hold onto Washington. He's the only young OLB that consistently held the edge.

This is probably what they are looking for in the 4th OLB. I'm judging this by them going exclusively nickel in the 4th preseason game wanted to see who could set the edge consistently. To me this says they feel strongly that Clowney can come back and be the main pass rusher from the OLB spot so they were looking another direction for the last OLB spot

Yep, and I've heard the Middle Line Backer referred to as the QB of the Defense, but I think most folks understand he is not actually a quarterback playing defense. Most folks are capable of understanding both that, and the fact that often times when they are unfamiliar with something, it's incorrect to simply assume it's wrong.

I hate waiving James, if we suck at covering punts I will be very irritated. I know he limits our corners because he isn't that good, but he was a beast covering punts. We really needed a playmaker on special teams. With his speed and shiftiness, I am not sure why we didn't try him returning kicks.
