Thanks for your support!
My opinion is this, its a wasted roster spot. Cooks plays all 3 spots so the mentorship is there. Fill those other slots with explosive players. You also need those young legs to play special teams. If you have an injury, you can always call him off the couch like they did this season.
I respect your opinion.
Why do you feel like a slot guy is important? How does a team like KC and Dallas score points without a designated slot guy? The way the NFL is now, you can slot guys without them actually being slot guys. Your tight end and backs can do what the slot guy does. Its about fluidity, not rigidity.
Dump Dorsett & Conley. Put those young explosive STers in their spot. Amendola & Burkhead bring a toughness to the skill positions we need & don’t have otherwise
So, exactly what are the coaches doing while these veterans are working with the younger players? For the record, I don't want Tunsil teaching any OT how to run block. Also, he has been on the roster for three years. Have you noticed his working with the OTs improving their play?
Cant fix a bunch of talentless small school guys. It's not just about on field play. It's about being a pro. But yes, young guys tend to learn better from players that are currently playing the game, moreso than coaches coaching them up. You need leaders that have been there and done that on a team. IMHO
Look at guys that the Pats/Tampa/Green Bay/Chargers/Rams/49ers/Raiders etc... use in the slot. You know, the successful offenses.
Please name the slot man for Patriots, Tampa. Green Bay, Chargers, 49ers, Dallas, KC, you know the successful offenses, I'm waiting.
Meyers/Godwin/Adams plays alot in the slot. But Rodgers specifically asked for Cobb to be traded to the Packers so he values the position.
I honestly don't care if my left tackle is a great run blocker. Your scheme and the inside guys can control that. What you dont want is your left tackle being a turnstile.
See, there you go trying to wordplay me again. Adams, nor Godwin are slot guys. Neither are Allen, Lamb,nor Hardeman. Just like Hopkins wasn't a slot guy. Just because the coach scheme those guys to get free releases doesn't mean they're slot guys. All those guys are boundary/perimeter wr who because they're playmaker, the coach puts them in the slot to give them more field to function with. Amendola, Welker, Edelman are more slot guys. Those guys you mentioned play all the wr spots. Those guys I mentioned are 98% inside slot guys.
I really don’t understand why Kelly won’t go uptempo to get that offense in some type of rhythm. But we all know he’s a product of Bill O’Brien, therefore, going conservative is to be expected.
I'm not going to debate this with you but Godwin absolutely works out of the slot. Evans and AB on the outside. Gallup and Cooper work outside and Lamb mainly from the slot. Hopkins was an outside WR that BOB sometime put in the slot, but I would consider him an outside WR.
When Jameis was throwing for 5k, Godwin was in the slot? When they brought in AB, both AB and Godwin played the slot? Gallop and Cooper were together for 3 yrs prior to Lamb, who played the slot other than the 1 yr of Cobb? All those teams mentioned didn't have a 36 yr old washed up wr teaching young wrs the slot, which is my point. Who taught CD to play the slot? Who taught Godwin to play the slot from 2017 until now? If your coaches do their job, you dont need old dudes to teach them especially when you have Cooks who is already here?
I'm talking today
Nah, you want to keep a 37 yr old washed up slot wr to teach that position. Then you rattled off a bunch of teams who doesn't even have top tier slots. The ones you attempted to didn't have a Danny Amendola to teach the position to the younger dudes wasting a space on the roster. You still haven't told me the vet who taught Godwin and Lamb how to play the slot.
Amendola really looked washed up last Sunday. You don't consider Godwin, Beasley, Kupp, Meyers, Renfrow, Allen, Lamb,Thomas, Kirk, etc... to be kind of important.
Texans had unfortunate luck with talented RBs who had careers shortened by injuries. Domanick Davis (Williams), Slaton, and you can also argue Foster should’ve had a longer career.
I remember being very excited to get Ahman Green in a Texans' uniform.
But you can't name the 30+ yr old washed up vet they kept to show the you slot the ropes can you? Make it simple, got to the year they were drafted and pull the depth chart. I don't know why you keep putting Myers and Renfro up there like the Raiders and Patriots have good offenses.
Troy Brown
I wonder who they're going to bring in to compete with Davis. I'll be really disappointed if they bring Tyrod back.Interesting read

Has Nick Caserio cast doubt on Davis Mills’ future as the Texans’ starting QB?
Houston Texans general manager Nick Caserio made some interesting remarks about the team's quarterback situation for 2022.
Drew Lock was a 2nd rounder and Sam Bradford hasn't played since 2018...
Exactly. You get the feeling as you read it that Nick is set with Mills. After all he mentions back ups not potential starters. That's kind of a dead give away. True the title is misleading
I don't think it Tyrod will be back. So, I'm with you on this a young former 1st to 3rd round QB who didn't wet the bed. Just wasn't great in the system ran by the team who drafted them. Or they just needed some reps to see what they could do
I'd prefer Sam Bradford.
It's apples and oranges trying to compare stats from different eras. But comparing 2021 to 2021 is legit. Mills did put up better numbers than Lawrence, Wilson, and Fields. Give credit to the coaches. Give credit to Mills. He came a long way from how he looked in the preseason. That's just hard work, day after day.
& before the season everyone agreed the Texans were the worst team with the worst coach. We were supposed to have been winless.
More like oranges and tangerines. I chose Elway because he had a cannon of an arm and their offense pretty much depended on that arm and he wound up in the top 5 in passing yards.
To further your point - the rules have changed so much on when and where you can hit a QB. Now it seems a defender’s can’t even touch a QB’s helmet. QBs these days are in bubbles. You can’t compare QBs in the last 5 years even to a Brady and Manning, and it’s hard to compare a Brady and Manning to a QB like Elway or Montana.
Agreed, Even more so the WR position.
I don’t know anybody who thought we’d be winless. And we did have the worst coach.
Ok
Did Culley coach Mills on a day to day basis? Pretty sure that would have been Hamilton and even Kelly.
Those were the fans that wanted the team to win as many games as possible. Not the fans that knew whether this season was successful or not didn't come down to W/L's, it was about seeing if Mills was the future and his development. To me last season was a success.
Yeah I'm just responding to
I'm just saying it's not like the situation with Mahomes & Watson. Where Mahomes had many advantages. In 2021, Lawrence, Wilson, & Fields should have had the advantage, but Mills played better than them regardless.
I was one of them. I thought Tyrod would play well enough to win. Against Jacksonville, he did. Against Cleveland, he did. But when he came back, in two games we saw he didn't play as well as Mills did against tougher opponents. I no longer saw an advantage of playing Tyrod.
I thought it was about evaluating our coaches as much as the players.
Culley is sitting somewhere counting his $22 million, making his retirement plans and is really, really glad that you didn't give Caserio your opinion.
Evaluating a 65 yr old coach?
Good for Culley
Assistants & coordinators. Crappy coaches can ruin player careers
It was a joke. Meaning if you had spoken to Caserio and told him the season was a success. He might have reconsider keeping Culley.
