I bought the sizzle and plunked down hard$ on 3 season tickets for me and my sons. Now that this has gone down my sons are both saying I wasted my money. This is the problem nobody is addressing. The city was set up for Reggie Bush, losing 33 to 31 and being happy about it. Little kids (anyone under 16) are going to take this a lot harder than adults. They think we just passed on the savior. They think we are going to have another season of Carr running for his life and 10 to 3 scores. It's tough to try and sell this to the kids MANAGEMENT. Thanks.

I am sure they'll come around when they see the highlights of our defense putting the hurt on but in the meantime I lost my game buddies. This affected a lot of people. All I can say is McNair does have a brickload of guts to pull this.

If the reaction from as many delusional adults is any indication, the kids sure as hell aren't going to take it any worse than adults. Heck, maybe even the kids will have more common sense than the adults to see that Bush wasn't a need.

We'll see how much Bush wasn't a need when we can't score a TD. As it is now, we have to drive 60 or 70 yards, put together 14 play drives and if we have so much as a sack or a penalty, then we punt. Reggie is a threat to score every time he touches the ball.

Congratulations taking your kids to those games will mean the world to them even if a prolific offensive playmaker isn't in our draft plans this year. Mario will be an exciting player so hopefully we make the playoffs sometime soon and your sons can enjoy a championship defense in the making. :ok:

So was Curtis Enis.

And Ki-Jana Carter.

And Ron Dayne.

Huh? this is about the worst public relations campaign in the history of mankind. You don't go along and not refute the fact that every human being on earth rated Bush as the man. The impression a lot of us are left with is mgmt couldn't carry the water and get the negotiations done so they went with the Southern man who was more amenable to the Texan's numbers. The impression a lot of us are left with is we couldn't afford Reggie Bush or get him to come around. The impression a lot of us are left with is he engineered his way out of town. Management couldn't hang with the big dawgs so they got the humble guy who worked at Subway to sign on the dotted line. Lipstick the pig but that's the impression a lot of us are left with.

/having trouble lipsticking this pig for my kids
 
coming from a 15 year old kid, i have to say its gonna be very rough for me to watch bush go to some other team and be a hero somewhere else. It will definitely be rough going with my dad to the games this year knowing that we still will see carr running for his life most likely. i just hope that williams will make up for it whenever i see him take down peyton manning on 3rd down and long to seal the deal on the first texans win over the colts.-Ryan
 
Kubiak decided that his system can more or less provide enough of a run game to make up for going with the DE over Bush at #1. He better be right.
 
I am sorry you bought into the hype and did not look at the teams needs nor our cap situation. It was pretty obvious we were not taking Bush.

Yes, because Reggis Bush was such a spectacular blocker in college that it would have had such a profound affect on Carr's pass protection. Please, bring up the dump off option...like we don't have a back that isn't already great at that...

And yes, like Mario Williams was a "sack machine" in college...oh wait?

There are just as many DE's that were first round busts as RB's. How great were Courtney Brown, Steve Emtman, Kenneth Sims and Walt Patulski? Just throwing out RB busts doesn't prove a thing. You can list busts at every position if you wanted to.
 
To all of you that are now sorry you have tickets for the up coming season - I will gladly taken them off your hands.

I would have loved to see Vince here, but as long as we don't take Bush, I am very happy.

We don't need anyone that as already shown to be a rule breaker, no matter how good he is. Let Dallas have him, he will fit right in with all the problem players they have. it starts with breaking NCAA rules, and goes down hill from there. I have no doubt it won't be long before he is causing problems on and off the field. Probably already taking leasons from TO.

Houston (Oilers & Texans) is my team and always has been, winning or losing. So, if you don't want your tickets, send them my way. I will go to every game I can and cheer no matter what.

Actually Bush is supposed to be decent at picking up the blitz. Something that DD doesn't do very well.

So Mr. GM, you want to base the number one overall draft pick purely on a combine workout? Hmmm, sounds like a senior in high school would make that call...

Maybe we'll see him try to flatten Mario with one of his devastating blocks this season.:rofl:

It's based on professional prospectus. Jerome Harrison had more rushing yards in fewer games than Reggie Bush, I guess he should be ranked higher than Bush right?

Horrible conclusion... 'our cap situation'.. Yes we didn't have the best cap situation but now... IT IS WORSE. did you not see the $54 million contract?

We needed an OT more than DE. I am sorry that you are buying into the hype.

Horrible? If we signed Bush we would have had 62 million on a 102 million cap on offense. Moreover, we would have had 22 million invested in three offensive skill position players (RB, DC, AJ) who have collectively done nothing in the NFL. That my friend is horrible and the front office saw it.
 
Shouldn't we have seen this coming when they selected the team name? Apparantly this organization can state the obvious ("Texans" is the best they could come up with) but they certainly can't see the obvious.
We have yet to develop an offensive line, we now have signed or have options on 4 big money defensive ends, and of the 16 players we have taken in the first 3 rounds (12 + 4 expansion picks) only 4 are even starting.

Perhaps reorganization should start at the top. Perhaps the "smartest guy in the room" is refilling the water bottles. Whichever the case, McNair definately needs to reevalute the entire situation and remember where he is. The majority of the Houston sports fans are only loyal to a winning team or a "media hyped" player.

Bob, save the stationary. Don't tell us how excited you are, or what a big year this is going to be...just do something about the problem.

No I don't agree with that. They spent the last week talking with Bush as well as Williams. If it were really "pretty obvious" that we were not taking Bush then every mock on the face of the earth just about wouldn't have us taking Bush.

This was pretty much a surprise move. The media feels that way and clearly the majority of the fans feel that way.

You are correct that the majority "thought" we would take Bush, but the question is how did they come to that thought. Bush was viral our needs and potential cap situation, by drafting Bush, were evident. This was a football decision and most would agree that along that premise we had to go defense.

Where do you get the idea that this city was set up for Reggie Bush? Heck, I thought it was set up for Vince Young awhile back! Fact is, if anybody had this city "set up" it was the talking head draft gurus who played Reggie up. The Texans certainly didn't do it. As far as Carr running for his life, I've got news. Bush is a RB, not an OL. What a red herring.
 
NEWSFLASH

The Texans had the 31st worst defense last year.
How foolish of us to try to address that need after all the FA signings on the offense!

:brickwall
 
Not to avoid the issue of defense but the team could be MUCH better on offense with RB. Not that he in particular is end all but it would have created a lot of problems for any defense. RB can carry, catch out of the backfield, go in motion to a slot. It would have made AJ, DD and Carr all better. Not to take anything from Mario but he is not the player that RB is.

If the consensus from EVERYONE is that RB is the better pick maybe the TEXANS should listen (they may find out that when everyone agrees they are probably right).

AND the 32nd ranked Offense AND the most sacks given up the last 4 years. It doesn't matter how many points you hold the opposition to if you can't score yourself.
