Not another McKinney!!! (update - Dolphins resign Seth)

IMO - Neal and Mckinney both would be nice pickups and quality depth/competition for the O-line. Hope we pickup both - would be nice to have some good depth on the line for a change.

Sign those two and then add the best lineman available at #33 in the draft. Not bad.
 
Dunno. With the amount of interest they have in free agent linemen I suspect that they will add at least one more.

...and another. The FO is certainly not done.
 
This is the Texans o-line roster from the home page:

Center
McKinney, Steve
Washington, Todd
Hodgdon, Drew
Walter, Tyson

Guard
Weary, Fred

Guard/Tackle
Pitts, Chester
Wiegert, Zach

Tackle
Jones, Garrick
Wade, Todd
Wand, Seth

I have labeled the players by positions that are listed on the roster. I thought both McKinney and Washington were guard/centers, but for this discussion that really doesn’t matter.

We currently have 10 o-lineman on the roster. Training camp will thin that down some. If we assume Washington, Walter, and Jones get cut before the final roster is set, that leaves us with 7 lineman.

If we sign one free agent and draft two, or sign two and draft one, that leaves 10 lineman on our roster. We normally dress about 8 on game days.

I don’t know all the rules for using the practice squad to protect players, but if we add 2-3 lineman through whatever means we are going to have to make some deeper cuts.

Comments?

Well, if they land some better quality linemen, cut out the chaff.

Ok. That was easy.

The coaches are looking at a lot of centers. Say they sign a good one. Who gets cut?

Who do they cut if they sign a tackle?

Who do they cut if they sign two interior lineman and a tackle, two of which are rookies?

I just don't think Wand is starting quality. He can't read a defense, locks into one receiver, runs OB behind the ...oh wrong guy.

If they sign two interior linemen then I would cut Weary.

They just resigned him this off-season. There are some complexities here that make these less than straight-forward questions. For instance, Wade is an obvious choice because he clearly doesn't fit the scheme, but cutting him would be a huge cap hit.

Awesome. We have Kubiak and Sherman and we signed Steve McKinney to a new contract, we might get Seth McKinney and we're going to pass on Vince Young and we'll probably pick up Reggie McNeal in later rounds. I wonder if coach Slocum needs a job?:stirpot:
 
One more FA linemen not signed by us. I really thought we had the inside track on him. I wonder did we offer him give him an offer sheet, or was management not interested.:confused:
 
You better hope they pass on Vince Young. Houston drafts Vince Young would be the biggest mistake in this franchise's history. Geez people, some of you need to realize all the talent in the world isn't in Austin Texas.
 
Call me anything you want, but if you look at this with any semblance of objectivity you know the Texans shouldn't draft Vince Young or any other rookie QB. If they didn't feel Carr is the answer, they should have gone after Culpepper or Brees, but Young won't be a winning QB in the NFL. Before you act like I'm dumb or something, just wait and see. If they do draft a QB, it should be Matt and not Vince, but they shouldn't take either.
 
My post was directed more towards Bamboo than anyone else since he does this sort of thing repeatedly. We don't mind the occasional off topic post, but when it becomes a habbit then we tend to start deleting posts.
 
Why not cut wiegart I just dont see him fitting the new scheme too well he isnt mobile enough in my estimation to handle the denver Zone.. But like I said a whole new scheme could make a world of difference.
