Thanks for your support!
That was his role in college: maybe a forgotten man until boom. The ACL and leukemia sucked a lot of vitality from him. This could be his season with no expectation that he be equal to Tank or Nico but hopefully he can replace Woods successfully.
DR said in his presser that he values a receiver that can create separation - Metchie was decent at that skill which is why they persist with him until they find out one way or another.
it was a difficult pick for me to grasp also. I had watched John Metchie play at Alabama and he was good but not somebody that was on my horizon for the Texans. As I have with other picks over the years, I tried to defend it but kept shaking my head.
Titus Howard is gathering his crutches so he can hobble back to right tackle. It may take him a few snaps to get there but the fans are rooting him onward!
as a slot, I don't think he needs separation as much as the ability to find his spot in the middle of the field and lock into the ball. He should be able to do that now that he has his strength back, hopefully.
I bet they draft a wr within the first 3 rounds.
I'm putting my money on Byron Murphy @#23.
Unfortunately, I think Murphy will be drafted in the top 20. I love the Roman Wilson pic. I also think Kalen King is a day three pick because of his poor performance at the senior bowl.
I dont think Murphy will be there at 1-23.
Yall see Tahj Washington mixed in. I'm telling yall, that dude is gonna be a problem. He would be perfect in the 4th rd. He can play inside and outside. Plus he's a hands catcher.
Shaq Barrett is a situational pass rusher
Yes he is and a very good one at that.
Add in JaLynn Polk, Devontae Walker, Brendan Rice and Jalen McMillan.
I love Polk, but I don’t know if he is seen as a separator by the FO. But he’ll catch everything thrown his way. I’d be more than happy with Polk. I’d also be very happy with McMillan.
Alpha dawg.
Could replace Jerry Hughes. Barrett is going to get a severe haircut from the $$$ he's used to making ($17 million AAV).
#23 is a bit high for him - Texans could trade back to the back end of the first and still get him.
Have you watched him the last 3 yrs?
He hasn't been good in 3 years. He has 2 double digit sack seasons twice.
Can you give an article or update saying he’s not good to go? I’ve searched and couldn’t find anything. If he’s out this year OT be comes a priority IMO. This draft is loaded with quality RTs That likely will be available when we pick at 23. It sure wouldn’t hurt my feelings if we went that route.
That's how he's similar to Jerry Hughes. The Texans got something out of Hughes as a designated pass rusher after Hughes stopped getting starter snaps. Get Barrett off the field during run downs and he can stay fresher for rushing the passer. He's been misused in Tampa the past few seasons. But I'm also talking about Hughes money, $5 million or less.
Research shows + all that CloaknnnDagger has offered on this injury is enough. I say Derek Henry is our guide. No one has returned successfully to NFL. I prefer Howard be traded post June 1st to reduced his cap hit but we need to have a plan. I don't see a pure RT at 23. I'm hoping we sign Trent Brown or get a LT that may be able to hold down RT spot.

Misused? He's has the same dc when he got 19 sacks as he did those last 3 years.
If they dont go with Thomas/Coleman etc... I hope Wilson falls to 2-59. With the depth of this WR class it could happen.
Yeah I’m keeping tabs on which receivers I like for us in which rounds. I just have a feeling we go defense in the 1st, either CB or DL.
I'm thinking they go with CB/Edge in rds 1-2. Which one they get 1st will depend on who's their at 1-23. If Latu is there at 1-23 then I hope they pick him.
Latu would be a dream, but I think he goes Top 20.
My 3rd rd guys are Malik Washington and Pearsall
I love Pearsall but think he’s going Round 2. That’s the only reason I didn’t list him.
And some of us have also used our abilities to use the internet to research other studies besides what doc has provided. Again I ask someone to provide one player who has had the same type injury as Titus Howard that has returned successfully to football. Should not be that hard to do right?

Again it does not matter what you say or I say. Go find one NFL player that's had the same surgery and return to football. Why are you evading that?
Although as I've posted in the past, patellar tendon ruptures result in return to play in only ~50% of cases, Newton had a much lesser chance of ever returning, since he suffered a freak BILATERAL patellar tendon rupture. He suffered the rupture in 2016 (not 2026) and tried to play in a 12/30/18 game with little success. He retired shortly thereafter.
