Guys guys....... OB worked with Tom Brady, (AFTER HE WAS ALREADY GOOD) surely he is a football good.....
Remember that one time he yelled at Tom Brady!?!?!?!? Obviously he's so smart that even Brady still needs to be taught how to win like BO'B.
He'll never be able to admit anything is Watson's fault, then he'll have to come to grips with the fact that Watson is not, and never will be, an elite NFL quarterback.
Only thing I hate is hyperbole, homerism and blinders.
In case we drop to 0-4 on Sunday: The 1992 San Diego Chargers would lose their first four games of the season, but would rally to an 11–5 finish to the season, clinching the AFC West title, and becoming the first (and to this day, only) NFL team to start 0–4 and still make the playoffs.No chance now.
Might as well suck this yr.
This season is over.
Latest mock draft that I see has the Arizona Cardinals drafting Houston Cougars defensive tackle, Ed Oliver, #1 overall. They have the Houston Texans at #2 overall drafting Derrick Brown the defensive tackle from Auburn. Really? Not that I want to go defense that high in the first round, but if we did I'd rather have Ed Oliver and keep the hometown stud here at home.Sad part is next year's draft doesn't forecast to be great for 1st round OL.
I just cant fathom drafting anything other than the best OL available. Just like Texans luck though, every year they have a high pick its a down year for what they need. I would trade down if possible.

from everything I have heard and read this is suppose to be one of the best OL drafts in recent years
Strange dichotomy when comparing two of your posts in this thread.
If you hate hyperbole, then why engage in it yourself?

If the Texans end up with a top three pick they can always pick up one of the elite defensive tackles, and then focus on O-Line in the early 2nd and 3rd. I agree with you though. I'd probably trade down and get a boat load of picks.Most mocks have Little alone going in the 1st round based on talent evaluation. Obviously there will be teams that have to reach to get their guy like the Texans, but IMO this draft is full of defensive stars that will be hard to pass up. I would still trade down and try to pick up more picks and focus the 2nd and 3rd rounds on OL.

What percentage would that be? 0.001 %?
0-4 is realistically done if only one team has done it.
LOL, I like watching that movie clip. I may watch the movie again today.

http://walterfootball.com/draft2019.php
They have all D-Linemen going top 6.
And the Houston Texans with the #2 overall selection.
First offensive lineman taken is offensive tackle Greg Little from Ole Miss at 7. So ideally the Texans could trade down and still get Little while picking up an extra pick or two.
I mean wow, I see 8 D-Linemen going top 10.
And 11 of them going in the top 15. That's a lot!
A few of them are hybrids though (DE/DT/OLB).
Hey, what you do once you stop watching football is your business but you don't need to share to quite that extent.
Awesome post
We should get together and watch a game rhit year.
True but I'm loyal to them. I've been following Walter Football mock drafts since they had us selecting David Carr #1 overall in 2002. And I remember back then I was a big fan of Julius Peppers out of North Carolina. I even suggested trading down and snagging multiple players, including a good safety out of Miami named Ed Reed. We later signed Ed Reed past his prime and not during his All Pro and Hall of Fame caliber years. Oh what could have been if we had started our franchise the right way sixteen years ago.walter football has been awful in recent years
true but so has everyone else. If you use Walter just for info and players on peripheral you may not know of, the site can be helpful. Primary reason I use is site is one of few with early info. Same with PFF ans ESPN is so late getting things going. There has been tremendous increase on folks wanting input as you see all sites "way, way too early but here we go.."walter football has been awful in recent years
The Sunday Night home game against the Dallas Cowboys in nine days is the only game I expect the Texans to win. I don't think we'll beat the Colts at Indy on Sunday. And the Bills and Browns are much improved teams.Best case scenario I see is if the Texans somehow beat the Colts this weekend, beat the Bills 2 weeks from now, and then go on a 7 game winning streak starting on October 25th against the Dolphins and continuing through December 15th at Jets. That is the ONLY way I see the Texans salvaging a winning season now with a 9-7 record. They will be swept by the Jags of course, and lose to the Cowboys and the Eagles.
Until and if the Texans are finally victorius one Sunday I won't be predicting any wins.The Sunday Night home game against the Dallas Cowboys in nine days is the only game I expect the Texans to win.

I would also try to trade Jadeveon Clowney before the trade deadline next month. To get an extra second or third. If not a late first rounder from a good team. Whatever we may be able to obtain for him.
If we play our cards right we could have a ton of 2019 draft picks.
Maybe end up with two or three rookie starters on the O-Line.
A left tackle. right tackle and a swing guard (whichever side).
That could be the backbone of our team for the next several years.
All we have to do to beat the Cowboys is stop Elliot and our run defense should be able to do that. Dak Prescott has minimal passing yards in today's so-called passing league.Until and if the Texans are finally victorius one Sunday I won't be predicting any wins.

The Cowboys offense can't pass the ball. Dak Prescott can't even throw anywhere near his own weight (235). His highest passing game this season is 170.. They'll be as one dimensional of a team as we'll play all year. If we can't win that game at home I don't see which game we can win.And on top of that the Cowboys had Quincy Carter at QB and they truly sucked.
The Texans can't seem to find a way to beat the Cowboys in any year anymore, let alone in prime time, and we know the Texans' history in prime time games. The one time they did beat the Cowboys was a very special moment when the Texans entered the league facing their in state rivals for the first time. That was special and the Texans were hungry to win that one game at all cost. And on top of that the Cowboys had Quincy Carter at QB and they truly sucked.
I don't think it is likely that the Texans will sweep the Colts, but I do see it as more likely than the Texans beating the Cowboys, Eagles or Jags. If the Texans want a winning season then the winning MUST start this weekend in Lucas Oil Stadium.
Blaine Freaking Gabbert just beat the Texans minus both top tackles and all kinds of WR issues. I expect Dak and Zeke to do OK in that game. If so, I'll have to pay up $50 and wear a Cowboys hat for a week. Stupid football bets in July.The Cowboys offense can't pass the ball.

But we'll worry about that Cowboys game next Sunday Night. As far as the game tomorrow I'm mostly expecting a loss just because we're on the road. But this is another game we should win with a quarterback that can't throw the ball deep with Andrew Luck coming off injury.
In today's NFL if you have trouble throwing the ball...
You're going to have trouble winning games, IMO.
To be fair to the Texans, all three losses have been by one score. And it's not like Deshaun Watson has been 100 % healthy. He's still shaking off the rust coming off injury himself.
Funny you should mention Quincy Carter. He had 131 yards passing versus the Texans in that Week 1 loss back in 2002. We had a pretty good defense in our expansion year. 15th ranked but they had a couple of pro bowlers, including Aaron Glenn in the secondary.
The rest of that season though? Quincy Carter reeled off six straight games with 200+ passing yards. Which is something Dak Prescott can't do. He's only had three 200+ passing yard games in the past 13 games dating back to last season. And none this year. Poor Dak can't even match Quincy Carter in passing yards!
The Cowboys offense can't pass the ball. Dak Prescott can't even throw anywhere near his own weight (235). His highest passing game this season is 170..
My football buddies on Facebook are giving me a very hard time. I have a Houston Texans cover photo on my page. Saying I'm a proud Texans fan. LOL, I'm going to have to take that off soon. I feel so ashamed.
The Cowboys are very beatable. Then again, it's the Texans we're talking about.

If we lose to the Colts tomorrow on the road, and then top that off by losing to the Dallas Cowboys on primetime TV next Sunday Night at home. That would be embarrassing to be 0-5. But on the other hand, we'll definitely be in the driver's seat for the #1 overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft.

Happy days are here again...Feels like just the other day I was laughing at the Jags & Bortles... & the Titans...
