Isn't that exactly what he's done and is doing though?Well, it looks like whether we're talking about Green or Stingley the Texans are going through the same growing pains they always have. Draft or sign promising players and watch them sit on IR for weeks (or even seasons) at a time. Right now is about the time Mike Holovak would have gone out and shaken a few trees to find a promising center like for instance Jim Romano or maybe even Charlie Casserly would have gone and grabbed a Steve McKinney (or Rick Smith finding Chris Meyers). There's a guy out there somewhere right now who could come in and solidify the OL and fix this problem. You think Stroud is going to be the guy? You really believe in him? Then go slightly over pay for the guy you need to make it happen because you trot out a JAG to hold the middle together and you might as well be signing up for another damaged rookie who is gone in four years.
Double dipped at C/G in the draft (Scruggs + Pattersson)
Picked up a free agent flyer (Deiter)
Traded for a guy (Green)
It really feels like there's some kind of built up angst within the fanbase and the season just needs to start. Unfortunately the opening game is Baltimore so I'm prepared to hear about how we're the worst team of all time when we lose to them (as expected) and then hear how there was some amazing vision all along when we beat the Colts. When the truth is really somewhere inbetween.
That said this is the Josh Jones thread - another proactive move made to help preemptively stock up the o-line cupboard.
