Houston Texans 2025 Training Camp

I'd expect an easy walk-thru style practice today. Tomorrow they are in Michigan for what I expect will be a close to real game physical scrimmage with the Lions.

These are two of the toughest teams in the NFL and I expect nothing less than an all-out clash, practice or reg season. Should be a good test for both teams and probably the best marker for where the Texans are this preseason. Same goes for their fans as these are two quality teams going at it mano-e-mano.
 
I remember watching the Houston Oilers practices at their practice field on Fannin. The contrast of those practices and all the practices I've watched for the Texans is all I need to understand why today's NFL players are so unprepared in general to show well in real games.

Robinson's practice participation consisted of holding the foam player dummies while the defense hits it. I asked if he participated in any other significant exercises that were not videoed and I was told no.

The practice did not include even a single player charged with putting hands up in front of the QBs.

 
Demeco is excited about facing the Lions in practice. Not going to be the same as a regular season game. I'd be surprised if the practice includes the starter except in limited presentation.

And for the Lions' third preseason game, it is unlikely that the team's projected starters will play at all. Most of the projected starters, such as Jared Goff, Amon-Ra St. Brown, Jahmyr Gibbs, Aidan Hutchinson, and Brian Branch have not played in the preseason so far and are not expected to play in the final game either. The Lions have chosen to focus on practices and joint practices for their starters rather than risking injuries in preseason games. This game will likely be reserved for the players competing for the last few roster spots.

I am sure that this part of the job can be nothing less gut-wrenching!

Yeah, Demeco is like a big brother/father so he really bonds. I suspect he gets by by knowing he is setting even his cuts up for their best chance in the league by developing them as players/men. Nick, I suspect he is more removed and can manage it as a transaction as he has to be ready to cut/hire/trade when opportunity arrives without emotional ties.

That is a trait that needs to be part of a GM in order to make smart decisions.
 
In stark contrast to Myles Garrett with 8 speeding tickets with from I've been told included several close to or at 100 mph.

49ers WR Demarcus Robinson suspended three games

The NFL has suspended wide receiver Demarcus Robinson three games for violating the league’s substance abuse policy, coach Kyle Shanahan said on KNBR.

It is a suspension the 49ers anticipated when they signed Robinson in the offseason.

Robinson was playing for the Rams when police pulled him over Nov. 25 for driving his car at a speed in excess of 100 mph. He refused a field sobriety test.

In July, Robinson pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor DUI charge. A judge sentenced Robinson to 36 months of probation and imposed a $390 fine. Robinson also was given penalty assessment and was ordered to complete a series of programs, including a three-month alcohol program and a hospital and morgue program.

Robinson had two other charges — driving with a 0.08 percent blood alcohol content or higher and driving without a valid license — dismissed.

The 49ers open the season against Seattle, New Orleans and Arizona, games Robinson will miss before he can return for a Week 4 game against Jacksonville.
