IMHO this is what i see it boiling down to. This is an account from when the Texans became a team up to now.
1. At QB DC has alot of trust issues with the line(understandable). I would say that since he has been in the league, he has been tortured. The texans make one good offseason move and expect miracles from DC. To me thats like putting a bandaid on a GSW. #2 makes part of this possible.
2. AT rb DD is very consistant, he gets injured every year, but i do not see in hate DD threads. OK he can run like he stole something and is a small but physical back, but what people are saying about DD is he's a good back. So from a conclusion i get from what the fans say is he is a talented back, but a sally, or he is a guy who will be good for half a season. # 3 makes part of 1&2 possible.
3. The o-line is horrendous. Or as i call it (I am sure DC thinks this way to) the o-crap line. I liken DC to a dog you have on the porch and you kick him for 3 years everyday. Every time you go on the porch the dog will freeze and cower, (DC seems to freeze on every snap in some games when the o-crap line is sleeping). I think it is some sort of complex by now that DC holds the ball too long. ( like the dog you kick the only thing he has is a damn bone and he will eat it before he lets his master take it away). Then you have oft injured DD. Poor DD I bet when he see's DE's in publice he shudders. He has no where to run except into the ground, because if they do not block for DC why would they block for DD????? #4 doesn't help 1&2 either because of #3.
4. The i should be on a special bus teams. Face it without a threat at a decent return specialist, ( and i do not mean JM he has potential but is not proven because of injuries). We do not get good field position, unless the other teams blocking breaks down. We have upgraded nicely here though so I expect more from this unit as far as kick returns go. However our Special teams are inconsistant at best as far as coverage goes.
5. Our defense as a whole is a bunch of guys (patch work if you will) over achieving at under achieving. They have so much potential, but no execution. I think they need to re-learn the fundamentals.
6. Our D-line has bright spots but seem too passive at some points like the say f#@% it man the offense will not score anyway whats the use of playing our a##%# off if we will just be right back out here after 3 and out??? I think MW will be strong next year. I think he had so much pressure on him to be the best and the fact that his foot is jacked up that is was too much for him. I mean what if you gave a really good interview for a job and got it, but everyone of your co-workers and those who watch the profit margins are betting that you are not employee of the month or even week potential and you try to perform at a level of a CEO (and that was expected from MW from training camp by the majority of the fans). It would almost be like going home and your mom and dad saying did you loose your really good overpaying job yet??? Quit limping sally and get to work I raised you better. (remember this announcement The rockets select Robert Horry!!!! BOO! BOO! BOO! BOO! and all the man did was put a rockets hat on to get that welcome to Houston now go home!)
7. Our secondary is atrocious! I mean D-rob is a bright spot but i think even he is getting weary. I feel sorry for him. He will be a Probowl DB but he needs help, and even he is showing signs of the mental mistakes and being lacksidasical. He is by far my favorite Texan though. He is a defensive leader who is talking to a bunch of texan jersy inserts who won't execute. That must be unnerving.
8. Play calling is way to conservative. At some point the coach has to say. Hey DC here is the freakin football go win us a game, and if you need guidence ask me thats what i am here for. I co-ordinate things in practice and get you ready for th game but I cannot play it for you too. If I was DC i would say. Hey coach let me sustain my position. Give some freedom and let me see what I can do, and if I stink then I will go, but if I win then let me keep doing what I am doing. (That is called taking ownership of your responsibilities as a leader) It's like at a casino, if you want to win big you have to bet big. I do not know of many people who put 1 nickel in a slot machine and walk out a millionaire. However # 2&3 severely affects # 8...no pun intended...lol!
9. Mismanagement of personnel. Now they have DW (A return SPECIALIST WOOHOO!!) He should get the starting nod as return man. Put JM in the offensive scheme. Work him like a dog as the #3 WR. Then in pre-season make him work it and earn his keep. ( I know he has been injured but we need him with his speed in the slot or flank. Teach him to be physical so he can get off the line, and i bet he can creat space so DC can air it out on both sides or in the post. Ever wonder why DC goes to AJ so much??? Well besides being a beast at WR he is fast (like JM) and can make plays. Well just a though here but if you have 2 fast guys with decnt hands hwy oh why don't you put them opposite of each other or hell next to eack other and streak one and post the other or something?????? I mean this is kindergarten stuff!! Right?? I equate this to the front office and previous coaching on the field myself. I do not know how others feel but I call it as I see it.
To sum it up here are the few bright spots that I see in the Texans.
1. D-ROB!!!!! (NEED I say more??)
2. DeMeco!!! (Excellent vision of the whole field and great awareness for a rookie)
3. Kubes!!!!! (If he is left alone which I do not know if others give input. I think he has potential as a head coach.)
4. Richard Smith (I think he can impose his will on the defense. He seems like a strong leader.)
Right now Kubes and the Texans are doing what Rumsfeld did with the Army. You go to war with what you have not what you wish to have. In other words until the leadership of the Texans realizes how much potential they have and put the square pegs in the square holes and the round pegs in the round holes (efficiency, and proper management of skills and abilities) Then they will not be successful.
Well I have

long enough now it is time to

while I get all of the rebuttles that i know will rain down. But hey I love it...
