I admit I had him on my cut list. I wonder if they saw something so told JOrdan Thomas and Kahale they were hurt so they could keep him? I suspect JT was really hurt because we went out and got Paulsen; I can admit when I am wrong, and Fells is balling

Those ex-basketball players can ball if they can handle the physicality
Fells usage and blocking have made a big difference in the Texans offense. I'm thinking it wont cost much more than the vet min to re-sign him due to age/wear and tear.
This yr is really coming out party for Fells.
I keep waiting for red zone plays where these huge TEs are just getting jump balls on fades or boxing out smaller DBs on curls, hooks and slants.

We had that one where Fells caught the ball over the guys head and taunted him, that was perfect use of him.

.....simply a mis-timed jump resulting in a last second fluke INT.
I guess I'm still waiting.
Or maybe coutee is just a mediocre wr
@evansilva: Announcers during #Raiders #Texans said Bill O’Brien told them during the week that Keke Coutee was lacking “consistency,” essentially a kind way of saying Coutee fell into the doghouse.
Coutee played 70% of snaps in Week 7, was benched for DeAndre Carter in Week 8.

Ur apology should be as loud as Ur disrespect was
deandre carter has made his impression felt more on the offense in half the amount of snaps. Coutee is another bust.

You may say I’m a dreamer but I’m not the only one
1 reception on 3 targets. Yes it went for 46 yards, but this guy was not a factor the vast majority of those snaps.
OB needs to have his best players on the field

Coutee was great last season but of course has vanished this season. Bill doesn't like to have too many capable offensive players functioning at a high level, gotta have someone in the doghouse!
This actually crossed my mind. There is always someone in the doghouse

Every team has its own "private" doghouse every year.
Is a 4th Rd pick who has contributed considered to be a busy?
If so, man RS really sucked at his job.

Texans coach Bill O'Brien says he should have done a better job of involving WR Keke Coutee against the Raiders
By: Mark Lane | 7 hours ago
The Houston Texans’ passing attack persisted against the Oakland Raiders and overcome an eight-point second half deficit to upend the visiting side 27-24 Sunday afternoon at NRG Stadium.
One player who did not figure a part in the victory was second-year receiver Keke Coutee, who did not play a snap on special teams or on offense in the win.
Coach Bill O’Brien after the game told reporters they were sticking to the game plan and the limited possessions didn’t allow for him to insert Coutee into the action, but that he should have been more conscious about getting the former Texas Tech Red Raider in the game.
“I think just in the game plan, I think to be honest with you, probably should, probably had chances to get him in there a little bit more,” O’Brien said. “But the way that the game was going and talking about the limited possessions that we had we just didn’t get him into the game, and I think probably could have done a better job of that so there really wasn’t any reason other than me doing a better job of getting him in the game.”

Holy crap, could there be a more jibber jabber response than this? I'm more confused now than ever.
Definitely a weird response considering he got zero snaps.
i think he was in there towards the end of the game.

This coach is such a dork.
Hmm well pro football reference is showing zero snaps
I thought I saw the camera show him on the field. I could be wrong.

The information I'm getting is that the Texans are looking for a trade for a position of need prior to the trade deadline.

Interesting. The only positions where we have some depth is DT and LB.

I took Doc's post as in coutee being the trade bait. If so, I agree.

I recall alot of people claiming "victory" after that 2018 NFL draft. You can NOT accurately rate a draft until about 3 seasons. So far, 2018 draft not heading in a good direction.

Koutee has not even played 16 games. He is still a rookie, for all intended purposes.
Perfect time to dump him just like they dumped Rankin
I wouldn't. Rankin is getting quality snaps and is on a rookie scale the next 3 years. Hyde is a FA

I don't care what Rankin is getting on another team or what his rookie contract is. He was a zero on Texans. Free agent or not Hyde is delivering big time now.
He was a zero here because of O'Brien imo.
Hyde has been fine but he sucks as a receiver

I don't think Hyde was brought here to be a receiving running back strictly for his rushing.

I got a buddy who's a niner fan. He was pretty sure that why lil shanny wasnt as high on him and let him walk as a free agent. Havent seen that dude in a while but I totally forgot about that conversation.
One dimensional back, but better than foreman

Yeah we knew what we were getting when we traded for him
I agree but that's why he is not some amazing trade acquisition
I disagree. He’s single handily made our running game enjoyable to watch again. I don’t know how much more running into the backs of our OL and going down at the first hint of contact I could stomach. The bad didn’t outweigh the rare good with miller for me. He’s been a pleasant surprise.

We got Hyde for Rankin who was being cut. Hard to ***** about the production we got for a cut. Hyde may not be a pass catching threat, but dude runs beast hard and has good vision. We have killed the clock a few games and ran the ball fine when the OL was healthier. Can we improve, sure, but fully agree it is refreshing to have someone who fights and gets hard yards. Just get a tear away undershirt please!
Are tear always illegal now?
Rich Schmidt

I think the jersey was made illegal in late 70's, but it was his undershirt. Not sure the rules on that!
Rankin should not have been on the cut list. We are now starting Chris Clark and giving time to Roderick Johnson and Dan Skipper
Tearaway jerseys were banned in the NFL in 1979. The year after Earl Campbell's rookie season. Many want to give Greg Pruitt, Cleveland Brown scatback, credit as the impetus for the ban on tearaways. But, Pruitt had already played 6 seasons in the league without the clamor for outlawing the jerseys. One year of Earl Campbell in tearaways, and the NFL said "No freaking way."
LOL, Like you would know.
Tell us how Rankin would help the RT position when he was playing LG?
Do you think Rankin would help this team more than Hyde has?
