Alrighty then, let's play SimNFLConsultant. Texans are reknown for their hospitality, so let's give Consultant Reeves a hand.
Many of you here have seen every snap the Texans have played. (sometimes repeatedly). And paid attention to every draft, every trade. Seen the good, bad and the ugly.
I know stuff is all over the MB on this, but maybe this is a good place to consolidate it.
This, as McNair stated is Reeves' job:
His role will be as a resource as we evaluate all that were doing going forward. I view all of the senior people in our organization as resources. Everyone is there to help each other. Just as Charley is a resource to me, just as Dom is a resource to me and others in the organization are resources, Dan is a resource.
He is not here to interview for a coaching job. He is not here to evaluate the general manager. Hes here as a resource to assist me going forward and hes here to assist other people in the organization to help us become a better team.
Consultant Reeves stated:
I have respect for the job that Dom has to do and I have respect for the job that Charley has to do. I want to be an asset. I dont want to be a threat. For Bob to call, I was flattered. Im excited about the opportunity here and I just hope I can be a great resource.
Its the most difficult thing in the world to start a franchise from scratch. Its tough enough even when youre an established team to be a winning team year in and year out. Ive seen the progress that theyve made and Ive admired it from afar. I know this season has been a disappointment for everybody but Ive been in that situation before. Youre making plays that are costing you games instead of making plays that are winning you games.
As far as the players, Ill be here and Ill more or less observe them, he said. Ill probably be relating more to the coaches and talking to Charley and his scouts, just trying to get a feel for how they do things. This is a total new deal for me. Ive never done it. I dont have any experience with it. Well see where it leads.
OK, Reeves has never acted as a consultant, so lets give him our help. Legitimately. Without making the jokes that tend to write themselves this year, or rimshot one sentence draft Bush comments.
How would you evaluate what we have done in the past and where we should go on a point forward basis? What is it that the Texans do well and what is it that they don't do well?
Taking this press conference at its word as being a legitimate consulting gig, what is it that you would advise Mr. McNair is working and not working and why, and how would you fix it in a real world, practical, feasible way? Identify both problems and real world solutions, use facts and statistics liberally, and try to avoid generalizations and hyperbole.
Let's be yet another "resource" for the Texans and as people who have watched many games, give some assistance to the team.
Big ups in advance to everyone who makes a solid contribution to this thread.
