No offense to the guy who came up with this idea, but it's not smart. It's actually very dangerous. Morals already low, why tell our players "you suck" and make it lower. I know thats not the goal of this "boycott" but that's the message that we would send to our soldiers on the field.
Plus if we don't keep fan support and game attendence up, the NFL will ship us off to Los Angeles, California.
Please understand that there isn't much that anyone can do in the middle of the year. Granted firing the Offensive Coor. and replacing him with the Offensive Line Coach wasn't the brightest idea...at all, but we can't do much to immediately turn things around in the middle of the season.
Trust me, ride it out.
In the offseason we can clean house. We need a whole new set of offensive coaches in my opinion. None of our position coaches have done much to maximize our players potential.
For example: Here's a list of our coaches I found on the homepage.
Kippy Brown- Wide Recievers coach
With Jabar Gaffneys talent coming into the NFL and Andre Johnson's talent level, we should have a great wide recieving crew. Gaffney hasn't done anything impressive in his career yet and Johnson can improve a whole lot more than he already has, he has the potential to be a Hall of Famer, probably the most physical reciever in the NFL, he can be Randy Moss...without the attitude. He reminds me of Chad Johnson of the Bengals.
Chick Harris-Running Backs Coach
We draft Running Backs with tremendous potential, but they don't reach it. Davis is good, but Tony Hollings and Jonathan Wells can be so much better, and can provide a huge boost to the ground game if they're taught right.
*IF I MAY MAKE A SUGGESTION*
I go to the same High School as Gerald Riggs Jr. did. He was lazy and had a terrible work ethic. When he went to Tennessee, he couldn't produce what Phillip Fulmer recruited him to do. For those of you who don't know about Riggs, learn about him, cause he's got potential to be better than his dad.
Tennessee hired Trooper Taylor as the Running Backs coach and everything turned around. Riggs stopped skipping workouts and classes, brought his grades up, got healthy again, and completely changed his personality. Last year, as a Junior, he backed up now Dallas Cowboy Cedric Houston, and still got 1000 yards.
Through his career, everything has changed. His Freshman Year he was third string and only got 49 yards. Sophmore year, still 3rd string, 216 yards and 1 TD, and he re-injured his knee that he hurt his senior year in high school. His Junior year, Trooper Taylor comes in, and all the sudden, Riggs is fighting for the number 1 spot. He doesn't get it, but still gets 1,107 yards and scores 6 TD's, starting only 3 games. He also shined in the SEC title game against powerhouse Auburn gaining well over 200 yards. This year he has 452 yards and 3 TDs. Through the Georgia game two weeks ago.
Taylor is also working on another back, Arian Foster who impressed me a whole lot today against Alabama.
If we fire our RB's coach, I strongly hope we go after this guy as a replacement.
Sorry, didn't mean to preach.
John Hoke-DB's
I feel like he's done well, working with Dunta Robinson and Glenn Earl
Steve Marshall-OL
He's new, I know, and the line that we have doesn't show much potential, I say he stays, at least so we can so what he does with so decent players.
Greg Roman-QBs
I'm a little upset with him. I know Carr's constantly under pressure, but his QB rating is ridiculous, a career 72.4, a 57.1 completion % and 46 career interceptions. I'm not blaming Carr or the coach, but the blames gotta fall somewhere. Carr needs to grow up and be the leader this franchise put him here to be. We are building our Texans around a 72.4 passer rating. NO. Carrs always under pressure right? So work with him on getting the passes off quicker, and more accurate. Every day in practice, put him in pressure situations, and help him get more comfortable passing under extreme pressure.
Dan Riley-Strength and Conditioning
If this man does his job, Phillip Buchanan will be a Pro Bowler next season, and our lineman, Offensive and Defensive will control the line of scrimmage better and take the pressure off some off our Skill Positions.
LET ME MAKE THIS CLEAR
I'm not trying to start any fire _____ threads or anything, just giving all these people who are starting to fall away some hope.
so they pout like little two year olds just because we're having a lousy year. They have the right to pout, I don't really care. I just wish they would stay home with mama and leave the house of Reliant to the fans who really care.
We true Texans supporters will stick to Reality Football. Win or lose....we will support our team ALL THE WAY! If the Astros can turn their year around, so can the Texans. And I DO BELIEVE!
