Texans random thought of the day

- Start date
I would say Mixon/Edwards for sure wouldn't be Texans if Bob still owned the team. Probably not Al Shaair and they certainly wouldn't be working out Arnette.

DM is Watson's agent, in other words known as lawyer. It's his job to protect his client's interest.
Is it his job, or those around him to help his client get away with sexual assault? Actually setup laces for these sexual assaults to occur?

Well why aren’t you mad at the Texans brass in general because they aided in his trash as well. These organizations know exactly what these guys are doing. And yet they gave him this massive contract any freaking ways. But hey let’s only focus in on one particular party right.

Depends on what he did, what he knew, and what you can prove.
I dont have to prove anything to have an opinion of a persons character.

You can certainly have any opinion you want, but it probably says something about you if you keep making ridiculous claims about someone without any proof.
It's the same old story. The rich think they can get away with whatever they want & for the most part they do.

What is the point of building a culture if you don't "use" it to bring in lower character people to keep them in line? I not saying whether we should sign him or not. It's not a culture, if you have to bring in exclusively guys that fit the bill. IMO good to see that players that can play aren't automatically excluded, but good to see they gave Derrick the heave-ho.

I’m not expecting him to be signed. Especially after Ward’s recent arrest (bad look PR wise imo).
But even if he were… I wouldn’t expect him to be any more than a camp body. He was overdrafted as a prospect and couldn’t get/stay on the field when he wasn’t in trouble off the field.
Myles Bryant was a UDFA in Arnette’s draft class. And I would not expect Arnette to beat out Bryant given what they’ve put on film. And Bryant is more a back end roster guy.

What are Stroud, Hunter and Anderson doing during 2nd team? Other than practicing that exact squash match scenario?
Everyone has to work their way up!

If the Texans continue to be successful on the field I think Liipfert is going to be a common name being looked at for future GM positions around the league.

I don’t think he’ll be in the league much longer if he even makes it through camp with the Browns.

"I was checked out mentally," he continued. "I was like whatever happens happens. I was just rolling with the pucnhes at that time. So I told them I wasn't going in. I understand what you're saying, but I'm not gonna go in. So I just sat on the bench. And that's when they suspended me.
When he came back from suspension, he asked to be released because he knew he was going to be in the doghouse. Then he signed with the Texans, but checked out again when other younger players played over him. When he tried to talk to coach DeMeco Ryan, he said he was called a distraction and they cut him.

If this kid has gotten his head screwed on straight, he could end up being a great addition. All the talent in the world, but mental/drug/legal issues.

I know my comment kind of came off like I'm criticizing the organization, but I agree with the signing.
I'm actually in favor of the signing, as long as we don't "depend" on him to be a major contributor. CB3 behind our slot corners? I don't think that too much of an investment. The best organizations take on "problem" guys from time to time.
I made the post as a callback to the old Matt Schaub "Texans worthy" thing. I never really bought into that thing.

Who was the LG?
This isn't Bob/Janice McMair's Texans.
They're doing what winning teams do, sign/draft and play the best players.
I didn't think you said anything wrong at all. Quite the opposite. It's nice to see the Texans taking a chance on another chance player who has issues. Big change from the early years.

One thing I’ve appreciated is they’ll give these kinds of guys a chance and if it doesn’t work they let them go quietly in the night. As an organization we don’t drag them any further we just let them go and say, “it didn’t work out” and never give in to distractions or excuses.I don’t think he’ll be in the league much longer if he even makes it through camp with the Browns.

The guard and the stunt don't show up in that limited view clip

The video I referred to was posted by Texans baller 74. No Center in view in front of Stroud. He received the ball and the player in the left guard position was the blocker I referred to. I can only make out the 7 in his number. The video is there for your review.

Looks like 74 which is Cam Robinson picking up that stunt

That was my guess but just could not determine. In OTAs i i r c, he and the entire line was getting blasted. That is not a surprise. However, in mandatory's I read an article that Robinson stood out.

If you hit the pause button and drag it slowly you can see the play unfold just not all the numbers. At the snap, the OC is completely out of view but you can see a glimpse of the left side of the LG and Cam Robinson (74) playing OT. Cam takes on Danielle Hunter and gives him off to the LG as soon as Tim Settle comes over in the stunt with Hunter. You can see the LG almost bear hugging Hunter and Robinson battling Settle as CJ maneuvers to throw the pass.

That's what I saw. Look like a good play. Hope it continues into regular season. At least our offensive line is going up against a great defensive unit in training camp.
How hungry are we for football when there is a Zapruder-like breakdown of a mini-camp video tweet? July 23rd can't get here soon enough.
I'm worried about Tomlinson, he hasn't been very good the last couple of yrs.
That's why he's here on short deal for low $$$, If Tomlinson can't hack it, someone else will have to step up. That's what I like about this year vs. last year. The Texans have thrown enough viable bodies at the o-line that no one guy has to come through. Everyone is replaceable, if necessary.

That would be a good offer but I would say no. I think Higgins will end up being like the player he was compared to Nico Collins.

I had Booker and Banks as my first round choices however I have warmed up to Higgins. I think we will have a set Ol by game one that should be better than last year. I like what BadBoy said about 2026 and will be looking for my three to four OL to put on my mock.
