For those that want a big run stuffing NT type guy, do you realize that Tart ranked near the top of the NFL in defending against the run?
You could also just draft Sweat.

Thanks for your support!
Did you ever see him do that in the game? I'm not saying it was right, I'm saying moreso that's the kind of body type/player to play next to a smaller dt like Newton. I saw alot of people who was hype about the the big ot that was drafted by the saints because he was finishing plays when in reality he was getting his ass kicked by a smaller play and he was pushing and shoving post play. Stuff like that happens at the sr bowl. That's a teaching experience.Yep. He ripped his helmet off and damn near threw it at the guys face. That would have been a 15 yard penalty and possibly an ejection if he does that in a game. Doing that in front of a bunch of professional scouts is just flat stupid.
That would be a good look. I'm not sure Newton is better than Kancey, but I understand the concept. Kancey played well this year. Its hard playing inside like that as a rookie or young player. Mason has tremendous talent alone, but he didn't play well last year and he really only have 1 year of tape. If someone can get him to play hot and low, he's a all pro waiting to happen.LSU Smith is a guy I would look at putting to Newton. But what I really want is Wilkins next to Newton. Newton is much better than Kancey IMHO.
What wrong with Washington in the 4th or 5th?No thanks to Washington but I do like Rice
As of today they do not have a right tackle and may not have by game 1. It doesn't matter if every other position on the offensive line has a first round if we have an open hole, that needs to be addressed. I am not saying it has to be at 1.23 but either in free agency or somewhere in the draft we need to find a starter. We cannot wait until preseason game 1 to start looking. It is not about how much we have spent or how much draft capital on other positions.They have the most drafted and most expensive ol in NFL and you want to burn another 1st rd pick? When you have a top shelf qb they have to negotiate in areas that are lacking. That's what makes them special. There is no way I would spend any more resources on the o line. They already have 3 1st rd picks and a 2nd d pick tied up. Imo, they have more pressing positions.
concerning running, we have not been able to and we probably will not be able to in 2024 and unless we make some sort of drastic overhaul, we will not in 2025 either. We keep saying we have to have a running game, yet we have not and do not. That's why I am suggesting we use what we have and increase the passing game.Tunsil played with a bad knee and still shut down Garrett and TJ. Not to mention, why would you eat all that money? As long as he's healthy and the way he plays, he can do that for awhile. Getting better in the run game falls on alot of players. You don't have to be Baltimore, just be able to run it when you need to.
I think it's really interesting that you think that Jermaine Burton would be a round three pick as that is exactly where 3.86 and Texansphan has him being picked.I don't see it. He's a body catcher 1 trick pony. Looks like a 3rd rd pick to me, but thats just me
I thought he said top 45 which would be 2nd rd. My badI think it's really interesting that you think that Jermaine Burton would be a round three pick as that is exactly where 3.86 and Texansphan has him being picked.![]()
That's where I'm at. The last 5 championship squads weren't running teams. You just have to run enough in 4 minute offense and to make teams respect you. If you upgrade the rb position either by draft or free agency, that's good enough. We seen Motor run effective enough, but he's suppose to be a compliment. If you can run middle of the pack and add to the passing game, that's superbowl worthy.concerning running, we have not been able to and we probably will not be able to in 2024 and unless we make some sort of drastic overhaul, we will not in 2025 either.

Yeah, more than likely a rookie is going to need time also,correct. They can bring back Jones or Fant until Howard is 100% Hopefully Scruggs is ready to be the guy at center and Green makes a jump.As of today they do not have a right tackle and may not have by game 1.

If Howard comes back at least 90% healthy he will still be just above average as a right tackle. Ryans could decide that he is okay with that but I hopefully think he will not.
I didn't watch him close enough to know his temperament in games. Teaching moment? Sure if it goes something like this, "if you ever ******* do that again you're off this team". There are enough DT's that I like. Sweat or Jackson have the same body type.Did you ever see him do that in the game? I'm not saying it was right, I'm saying moreso that's the kind of body type/player to play next to a smaller dt like Newton.

He posted a mock with us taking him in the 3rd (#86) and you responded that it was too high for him.I thought he said top 45 which would be 2nd rd. My bad
I'm just looking for a bigger & faster guyWhat wrong with Washington in the 4th or 5th?
He's a fast guy. He's only 5'11 175, but its part of the basketball team. Nico is the big x 6'4, Tank is the moveable y, and Tahj is in between who can also get deep, but catch the in between. I mean he was 18 ypc and he's a hand catcher also with production. He produced at memphis before going to USCI'm just looking for a bigger & faster guy
I agree that late third round is about where he should go but with the depth of this wide receiver draft I'm not sure he completes what we need. So many ways we can go in this draftI thought he said top 45 which would be 2nd rd. My bad
Fant has to know that his time is limited as a starter with Houston even if Howard does not start for 2024. I think if Fant gets a chance to start elsewhere in a better situation he will leave.Yeah, more than likely a rookie is going to need time also,correct. They can bring back Jones or Fant until Howard is 100% Hopefully Scruggs is ready to be the guy at center and Green makes a jump.
Howard has never been above avg at anytime in his career. Caserio was betting on his improvement. A bad bet IMHO.As of today they do not have a right tackle and may not have by game 1.

And put a good RG next to him and that's even better.He isn’t a guard or a LT. when healthy and strictly at RT, he has been above average there, and ascending imho. I don’t think he is maxed out at all. He has the talent to be a top 10 RT or even top 5. That requires health, a system that suits him, good coaching, being out at RT only, and his own dedication and hard work.
An ascending player at a still young age is like buying a stock. You are buying what you think of future performance, not the past. Based on the contract given, I’d say that Nick and I are more aligned then you…who looks backwards instead of forward.
And for the record, I’m talking pre-injury. Now we have a potential issue there, but I am talking about the environment at the time the contract was given.

Looking back? I called this before they signed him to that contract. Top 5-10 LMAO. You're right Nick and you were aligned on bringing back Howard and I bet if you asked Nick if he would like a do over his answer would be a resounding yes.
LOLNick has never answered any question with a resounding yes.

I bet you he would answer this question with a resounding yes, if he was being truthful.
So what you are saying is hindsight is 20/20. Welcome to the club. Can you kindly provide me with last nights lotto numbers. Or did you know Howard would have two significant injuries last year?
At least they didn't go with your guy (and most others here) Andre Dillard who was benched by his second team alreadyIt was a bad draft pick and they doubled down with a bad extension. Now comes the time they will be paying a heavy price for a bad decision.
And the Eagles traded up over us to get him.At least they didn't go with your guy (and most others here) Andre Dillard who was benched by his second team already
I can definitely make a case that Dillard would've been a better pick. If Dillard was the pick he would be gone by now and upgraded the position. Instead the Texans are stuck with 18 mil against the cap this offseason. That money sure would come in handy this FA period. You can thank Caserio for this, he decided to pay Howard like a top 10 OT. Not a top 10 LT, but a top 10 OT in all of the NFL. SMHAt least they didn't go with your guy (and most others here) Andre Dillard who was benched by his second team already
I expect if he's there @ #42 he's a must take unless his leg is falling offI don't expect Murphy to be there at #42 but if he is I would definitely be happy taking him.
