Casserly on 610 radio this morning

[Sportsfan]

Anyone catch what Casserly had to say on 610 this morning?
I got to work before he came on and missed it.

Thanks

 

[Johnny Utah]

He didn't say much since he can't comment on Bush or Young yet because they are juniors. He mentioned how the interview process goes for the coachs. The highlight came when a caller called in and made a threat to Casserly. He said,

What is the fastest way to get run out of Texas with a noose around your neck? Don't draft Vince Young and you'll find out.

Followed by a uncomfortable silent pause.

I thought that the calls have a few seconds delay built in just to screen out this type of call. Not cool...

That is awesome. Casserly and the whole Texans brass needs to know that Houston wants its beloved son to play for the hometown team. Casserly's inclination is to stick by his bust of a pick but that is wrong for the Texans. I want them to know that if they don't they will have an extremely pissed off fan base.

I'm sure Charlie wasn't happy but he never seems happy. Does anyone else think he is the surliest interview ever? Just never has sat well with me.

yea awesome ..... I wonder who dialed the phone for that mo ron?

 

[tulexan]

I heard clips of it, but to me it sounds like they are laying the ground work for the case against Vince Young. Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Casserly say something to the extent of you have to look at the entire body of work, not just one game.

 

[Buffi2]

I've always thought he was patronizingly haughty - but maybe I view him through I don't like Casserly glasses.

What a constructive, well thought out question and answer! I'm sure the guy spent a lot of time on hold waiting to make that intriguing point.

If I was sold on Vince Young, I'd have to re-evaluate my decision and decision making process. If I was in agreement with such a brutish lout, I would be concerned.

Then I'd realize I could probably find ignorance on any facet of the first pick debate and ignore the ignoramus.

 

[HoustonFrog]

I've always thought he was patronizingly haughty - but maybe I view him through I don't like Casserly glasses.

I always thought it and THEN started hatin on his drafting and moves. He just seems like a jerk.

 

[Runner]

Just to be safe, how many other Longhorns and/or Houstonians are in the draft? Are there enough so that we can use all our picks on them? There are probably too many though. Hmmmm...

Why don't we create our own draft board with only Longhorns and/or Aggies and/or Houstonians on it, and from that subset of players make selections based on Texan need and player talent. Would that satisfy the lynching mob?

 

[Txn_in_FL]

Yeah, awesome.

The retard that makes that sort of statement about a draft pick is the same one that will ***** and moan and call for Young to be run out of town the first time he screws up a game. I'm suprised he had enough brain power to dial the phone.

 

[BigBull17]

Its people like him that make us all look stupid. I think Cass should have been shown the way out but the first one to leave needs to be the jack *** caller. Get a life.

 

[Honoring Earl 34]

I hate that folks are making threats . I like Vince he's a home grown product who shined on the biggest stage in football outside the Super Bowl but its no reason to threaten CC .

I think if all the powers that be decide to keep Carr and draft Bush or trade the pick then so be it ... the sun will rise in the morning . We have seen real terrorism before lets keep it out of our little diversion .

 

[dtran04]

You know what I was thinking? If I am Jerry Jones, I am licking my chops. I would trade for David Carr, and then see Carr rip apart the Texan defense when we play them. To put in a good measure, Roy Williams is gonna horse collar our "once in a lifetime talent QB" rendering his scrambling ability useless.

Then all the so called fans will chastise the Texans for not keeping Carr and drafting Bush. It's a neverending battle. I would absolutely HATE to be the GM of the Texans right now. The only worse situation is the Lions, thats it.

Disclaimer: I am not wishing that those statements above happen. But it would quiet the crazy callers calling in 610.

The caller clearly stated before and after the comment that it was a joke.

 

[Fiddy]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Casserly say something to the extent of you have to look at the entire body of work, not just one game.

I didnt hear it, but if he did that would mean he is grading Young on a season where he led the nation in passer effiecency, was clutch in big games and just simply dominant...

 

[Htown34s]

That jerk is probably the same guy who threw a beer on Carr's wife.

I'm a big "draft VY" guy, but I can't say how much I respect David Carr and his family. That guy has some nads to take the pounding that he has.

Of course, that call just reinforces my point that McNair could ruin his reputation by passing on VY. If he takes them and he is a bust, then the public can never be upset about not getting their pick again. But if we don't take him and he is a star, it will hang over McNair's head for a long time...

 

[Double Barrel]

I'd venture that most GMs are a surly and dry bunch. It's the nature of the beast. These guys are hired for front office duties, not public relations. He only does the show because it's in his contract.

I've never gotten that much information from GM interviews. They never let the cat out of the bag, and always hold their cards close to their vests. Not that I blame them or anything.

Kinda' silly about the "noose around your neck" comment. Have a take and don't suck should not be just for The Jungle. Local radio could use a bit of standards, too.

 

[Fiddy]

Zero of his throws looked liked NFL type throws

Obviously you are not a scout. The guy has a gun it's just he doesnt show it off every throw because, unlike your boy Carr, VY knows something called touch. But when he has too, he can just throw a laser.

 

[Dennis007]

This is easy

If Vince comes out-
Take Vince, trade Carr for more picks and get a better O-line
Vince is mobile and can throw, I think Carr has proven he is not a franchise player. I think Vince, Andre Johnson, Gaffney and Davis as a RB would be more exciting with more promise than Bush and Carr.


If Vince does not come out-
Then proceed with picking up Carr's option and draft Bush.

 

[nunusguy]

I'm sure Charlie wasn't happy but he never seems happy. Does anyone else think he is the surliest interview ever? Just never has sat well with me.

Unless Reeves has got some kind of "quid pro quo" thing going on with Casserly ( and I don't think for a minute that that kind of arrangement exists), it says to me that Reeves gave the old man the valid endorsement on his performance that Capers didn't get ? Even though you obviously don't like Casserly, does Reeves opinion not count for anything ?

 

[Runner]

The caller clearly stated before and after the comment that it was a joke.

Great! I guess that means we grade all of the available talent and make our pick on ability, needs, salary cap and such. Young would still be a contender and might even be the best pick, but at least it wouldn't be because he was from Houston.

That's so - professional.

 

[BREAZE]

Umm, that sounds more like a case for VY. Forget this year's Rose Bowl, look what he did to Ohio State, look what he did in the OK-State game, look at last year's Rose bowl...all comebacks in some big stage games. That's a pretty good body of work so how is that a case against him?

 

[AcresHomesTexan]

The noose statement was cast about three times by the caller as a JOKE,

It was not funny and poorly delivered. The silence was because of those two facts, not because of any "threat." That was the worst part of the show, not the best.

BTW, for Charlie he gave more actual information than he normally does in regards to the coaching candidates, the process they are in and Davis Carr's extension pick-up.

 

[Johnny Utah]

The caller clearly stated before and after the comment that it was a joke.

Well, before the comment he said, "Hey Charlie I've got a riddle for ya"

Afterward he said he was just kidding. But still, it was too late and I'm sure eveyones jaw was on the floor. Including mine. I mean saying your going to string up the GM for a hanging if he doesn't draft Young is a pretty bold statement.

The only reason I stopped was because the guy was dumb enough to call with that horrible attempt at "HUMOR" If not for that I would, I would just laughed AT the guy. There was nothing productive for Lance, John or Charlie to say. IMO, that's why you had the silence.

we had a different reaction to hearing the same thing, I will just leave it there.

 

[Double Barrel]

Local sports-talk radio is not the best and brightest Houston has to offer. They barely screen callers, and I've found that your average forum poster has better takes than most callers. Don't even get me started on some of our local sports radio hosts. Not sure what qualifications, if any, are required for those jobs.

 

[Nighthawk]

Speak for yourself............
And you would have one Pissed off California kid as well...........
They said last night on "Outside the Lines" that Bush is the smart pick.

Yeah, the newspaper guy from Dallas said that. I figured he was laughing up his shirtsleeve.

Casserly will trade Carr for ferrotte, that is the rumor!

 

[El Tejano]

Casserly will trade Carr for ferrotte, that is the rumor!

And that would not be a bad trade. I could stand a year of Ferrote as long as I know Young is coming soon. Besides we would have the running game to help Ferrote.

 

[Hookem Horns]

I didnt hear it, but if he did that would mean he is grading Young on a season where he led the nation in passer effiecency, was clutch in big games and just simply dominant...

Keep in mind that this is the same guy (Casserly) who only looked at 4 game films on P Bust ...errr I mean Buch. The Rose Bowl is probably the only game he has seen on VY.

 

[Fiddy]

Obviously you have not been watching Carr the last couple of weeks. Or for that mater last year. Or for that mater when he was in college, dont bring up touch bro he went #1 for a reason.

I've seen Carr play. I've seen him throw mean hitch routes for an entire season. I've seen him single handly not give his team a shot to win. I've seen him make the O-line look horrible by having zero pocket presence, running outside the pocket when all he has to do is step up so he gets sacked. I've seen a few good throws and about 1 good game. I've seen people say he had a great game when he only throws for 170 yards.

He has touch??? There were more than a couple times last year when he would try a fade route on the 5 yard line to AJ or someone and almost hit the CBs in the back of the head with the ball because he didnt get any air under it. You dont need touch to tear up the WAC, you need it in the NFL.

Tim Couch was number one for a reason, too...

 

[Kaiser Toro]

Carr does not exhibit touch as I am used to seeing from other QB's. Is that subjective, yes. And this is coming from someone who has been defending DC for the last two days.

 

[Runner]

Keep in mind that this is the same guy (Casserly) who only looked at 4 game films on P Bust ...errr I mean Buch. The Rose Bowl is probably the only game he has seen on VY.

Well, that one game was enough to flip this from a draft Bush board to a draft Young board.

 

[dalemurphy]

I'm not sure why fans think that Vince Young's talents won't translate to the NFL and yet they think that Reggie Bush, bouncing to the sideline every play, with be successful in the NFL.

Personally, I want the pick traded. But, if we stay at #1, taking anybody other than VYoung doesn't make sense- No way would I want Bush or Leinart. And, anyone else could be had with a trade down.

 

[Hervoyel]

That is awesome. Casserly and the whole Texans brass needs to know that Houston wants its beloved son to play for the hometown team. Casserly's inclination is to stick by his bust of a pick but that is wrong for the Texans. I want them to know that if they don't they will have an extremely pissed off fan base.

I swear sometimes it's like a lot of you guys are channeling crazy dead people or something.

 

[Coach C.]

Fiddy what the hell are you talking about. You have seen Carr single handly lose a game. In what way did he do tha? Are you just going to ignore last season, or ignore the numbers he put up this season. I am just asking. If you like I will post the stats if you dont remember them. Come on man if you think that Carr was the reason we lost games you obviously have not been watching games. I will be the first to acknowledge Carr's faults, but you have not listed one of them.

Coach CAll I have to say is the quarterback is the leader of the team, and yeah Carr may at times some decent snaps, he dosen't show up when the team needs him, heaven forbid if the texan's were to get behind, because wouldn't be able to put togather a decent drive. John Mclaine on 610 today said that VY may not be the greatest passer and rusher, but he is an awesome leader.Car is not a good leader period, if he was the Texan's would better than 2-14!

See, Kansas City Chiefs game. That was some of the worst QB play I've seen in awhile. He only threw for one INT and there were 2 stupid plays by AJ but I still get queezy over that game. The only reason the defense got lit up for as much as they did was because they were always on the field.

I didnt ignore last season but dont talk to me about his completion percentage or anything like that because all he did was throw hitch routes with a quick slant mixed in there every now and then.

 

[tulexan]

Giving up 10 points in the last 35 seconds to the Rams
Missing a field goal against the Titans
Missing a field goal against the Niners
Giving up a last minute drive to Kyle Boller that lead to a game winning field goal


Tell me how Carr's leadership caused us to lose those games?

 

[Tulip]

There's something inherently off about the idea of someone being "allowed" to be a leader.

 

[Coach C.]

LCOOL if you quote McClain that brings down the crediblility of your post. Other than that Carr has led comebacks the main one that comes to mind is Minnesota, Jacksonville, Tennessee, Baltimore, and Cleveland. Those come to mind. Check them he led us back late in the game, until someone screwed it up.

i'll say it again, i don't think drafting young is the right thing for this franchise right now. i would really like to know the actual percentage of the fan base that thinks vincent young is the right thing to do.

And what did your vaunted Vince Young do during the Rose Bowl. You dont put up 3500+ yards throwing hitch routes.

 

[tulexan]

There's something inherently off in the idea of someone being "allowed" to be a leader.

This is coming from the coaching staff that had one audible in their playbook and called only hitch passes for an entire game.

But, but, but, but... what about Reggie? He is a "gamechanger" and "playmaker", but, but,but, he aint no Longhorn and he from California...

Yeah, the recepi to success, draft two QB's number one overall within 5 years!!! But, as long as McNair's reputation is in danger, watch out!!! Guess what, if VY goes on to be a Pro-Bowler, it wont matter as long as we win. That is the only thing that matters. Clinton Portis was passed over and we took Gaffm is McNair gonna be lynched for that one?

 

[Fiddy]

And what did your vaunted Vince Young do during the Rose Bowl.

Huh????

You dont put up 3500+ yards throwing hitch routes.

You do put up less that 2500 the next year doing it. And do you know what Couch, Harrington and Carr all have in common??? They all had a 3000+ passing yardage season in their 3rd year and followed it up with a stinker. A "senior slump"???
