Texans random thought of the day

It was beyond irritating having to argue it after the pick was made. 40 time is easily the most overrated combine number people like to look at and it’s not particularly close.

Glad he shut people up and quickly.

I was not surprised that the guy who was really good at football turned out to be really good at football.

Yeah, the next thing you know, our scouting department will actually be watching games and film.
 
The NFL could have at least partially put this to bed by imposing a rule against flopping or obviously seeking a penalty by the QB. They did nothing instead. There will be even more scrutiny by fans in 2025. Mahomes is by far the worst offender, but Allen does it some too. And the more they get away with it, the more others will try it, harming the integrity of the game in the process.

I suggest that if a quarterback flops, he should then be flogged at midfield.

NFL wouldn't even need to institute a new rule just amend the unsportsmanlike conduct to include flopping.

I'm an ol river rat ( swimming tuber kayak etc) from the 70s onward spent many times on the Guadalupe and state park, Kerrville folk festivals twice. camping fishing friendly small towns beautiful country awesome Texas infused music and food and etc. we talkin Texas Hill Country.
In other words Deep In The Heart Of Texas.

I just bought this James Avery Jewelry who is established out of Kerrville a charm with all proceeds going to the recovery and relief efforts. Since the 80s I have bought mucho jewelry not for me except for my two marriage rings were bought there.

The charm with engraving if desired $80 . I'm giving this charm to someone that I knew and wears that jewelry that lives in that area and drives I10 to here and back for work. Barrista trailer up the street. She also house sits children for several Hill Country folks there.

She was emotional and speechless finding out it's named Deep In The Heart Of Texas. I engraved the date and also told her that James Avery have sold more than 30,000 of them. That ends Aug 4th.

Update James Avery Jewelry has sold over 100,000 charms They come silver or gold. They always sold and still make this charm but the timeframe was set for a month to donate all sales and proceeds go to the recovery and relief efforts by Aug 4th.

Just curious on what the logistics are for that I10 drive? Can’t be every day😳? I live near Kerville. Many local businesses are still providing workers with lunches from their restaurants. One of the businesses doing so is one of Kerrvilles two HEB’s (HEB originated in Kerville). They have been providing lunches from their BBQ restaurant. Yes, they have a BBQ restaurant in the store even with a bar. I always get a Brewski and a brisket sandwich before shopping there. God I love the Hill Country, lol.

I don't know, watching the video it looks like he still has a hard-on for Patty Mahomes.. :thinking:

I liked his father, but as they say "talent tends to skip a generation", because he sucks at his job. Worst officiated game I've ever seen.

Clay Martin was the Referee for the KC playoff game. But all will tell the same story and cover for each other. It's easier to get a Mafia capo to sing than have a NFL ref criticize another NFL ref.
 
CJGJ being injured isn’t ideal. Jimmie Ward in limbo compounds that. But I think it’s not necessarily about MJ Stewart or Russ Yeast stepping up. I think its moreso Kamari Lassiter and Calen Bullock elevating their play. If Lassiter can ascend to a true lock down CB like Stingley and Bullock elevates to the centerfielder we know he can be then DeMeco will be able to scheme to minimize the weakness in the defense most effectively.

I also wouldn’t be surprised if their answer is moving Pitre back to safety and Jaylin Smith to nickel.

Pitre for several reasons had too many missed tackle and coverage problems when playing FS, something that he hasn't had to worry about playing up close. I understand the temptation, but I believe a move back to FS would be a counter productive move.
 
I have a question. With Brevin hurt that opens a roster spot (I believe he would have made the team). Do the Texans replace him with another TE or do they keep one more WR or maybe a RB. Who do you think fills Brevin's roster spot?

Isn't that why/how they signed McKitty?
 
They also placed Dalton Keene on IR the same day they signed McKitty so we are down 2 TEs and just signed 1. These are the TEs listed. Dalton Schultz, Cade Stover, Irv Smith Jr.(who ESPN lists as questionable), Luke Lachey (2025 Rd 7, Pk 255) & McKitty. I also see Jakob Johnson listed as both TE & FB. It feels to me like we need to find another TE.

Nah, Schultz will return to 2023 productivity with Cade Stover and Lachey all we need on the team. Luke will want to show up the Iowa State boys and with CJ throwing to him he may have a very successful season.

I could see a late TC trade happening.

I’d be gobsmacked if they moved Pitre back. He was so bad at FS Demeco benched him.

Then they gave him back his old college position as a “star” db/backer and he’s shone so much Demeco molded functions of the defense around him. So much so we really suffered when he was injured and there was an obvious concerted effort through free agency and through the draft to have replacement ready players for Pitre should he be injured again.

I really like the fact they picked up Jalen Mills. He’s someone I think could really be a solid addition to the safety group with his experience in the system and previous experience as a corner.
