Official Training Camp Thread

[Ryan]

I figured I could be the one to start it up! Woo I'm ready

 

[euro-Texan]

Does this mean the long cold winter is over? Could it be? Football time again?

Evidently not as nothing has been posted.

Hopefully it won't be too much longer.

 

[spurstexanstros]

Friday I am on my way........I wonder if I lock my door and forward my phone if anyone would realize i am not there on Friday.

 

[badboy]

Hopefully it won't be too much longer.

I am waiting. Pretty soon now something exciting will happen and we wil have like a 90 page thread. I just hope it is not an injury.

I estimate a 10-15 page thread when TJ gets cut.

 

[Ryan]

Aug 6th i will be there!

 

[Kimmy]

I am going on Sunday the 2nd and the 6th. Gil Brandt and Vic C from Sirius/NFL will be there Sunday and broadcasting live on Sirius NFL for those that can't go

Does anyone have an extra ticket for Sundays practice?

 

[Kaiser Toro]

I predict that a rookie will be called a kid during Q&A with Kubiak by Day 2; Grossman and Orlovsky will be "neck and neck" for the #2 position going into the pre-season; an NFL production of Shanahan's development as a coach; and all Dunta, all the time.

 

[D-Frank]

I think GQ will continue to shine, Cush will be named very physical but will be very frustrated trying to cover OD 1 on 1.

I wished I lived in Houston.

I wish I lived in Omaha..... hmmm maybe not quite the same point being made.

 

[barrett]

[Giant Tiger]

I wished I lived in Houston.

Me too I'll be at a game someday

 

[eriadoc]

OK, who knows a website where I can watch the Texans first preseason game? I know those underground streaming websites exist, and I'll be out of own for a little over a week on vacation.

 

[painekiller]

I am going to be at all the open practices, will be watching the big uglies in one on one drills to start. So I hope I find a seat when they move over to 12 on 12 drills.

When is it?

 

[Ryan]

let's get this train rollin

 

[MojoMan]

TJ is much more likely to start than he is to get cut.

 

[euro-Texan]

Should we expect anything newsworthy on the first day of camp or just stories of optimism (blah blah blah)?

 

[michaelm]

I'm at the open practice, and will drop a few posts in here if anything interesting occurs.
First interesting thing is that Cushing in nowhere to be seen so far. He wasn't with the LBs during the individual position work.

 

[michaelm]

Duh, Cushing is still unsigned, right?

How about Barwin? I read on the other board that he signed a 4-year deal.

Outstanding! Does anyone have a link?

This post says Adam Schefter tweeted it - http://boards.houstontexans.com/showthread.php?t=12807

 

[DoCRoN]

I also just heard on 610 that Barwin is out there!

 

[michaelm]

Foster showed decent shiftiness inside. Looks more nimble than I expected.

Barwin Signs with Texans
for 4 Years

[michaelm]

I haven't seen Barwin at all, but I can't see 100% of the field from my seat.

 

[valleytexfan]

Great news!

 

[michaelm]

I read yesterday that Casey had a tweaked Jammie, but he's out there. Just caught a short pass.

 

[michaelm]

Grossman with an overthrow. Missed a wide open Foster.

 

[euro-Texan]

Chron just reported the 4 year deal too.

[TEXANS84]

Yeah, Cushing won't be out there until he's signed.

I'm curious to know if you see #81 out there. I know Daniels may or may not show for training camp.

And thanks for the iphone updates Mike!

 

[michaelm]

Daniels is on the field!

 

[El Tejano]

They also reported that OD and Demeco are there at camp. I wish Robinson would look at the way these guys handled their situation. Sure, they voiced they are mad but they are still there.

 

[michaelm]

Grossman made up for his overthrow with a couple of completions in relatively tight space.

 

[spurstexanstros]

great news.......Ahhhhhhh is it time for me to leave yet?

 

[michaelm]

Didn't see what happened, but RB Clifton Dawson had to be helped to the cart and driven off the field.

 

[DoCRoN]

Foster showed decent shiftiness inside. Looks more nimble than I expected.

This is the guy I'm thinking/hoping will contribute big for us behind #20

They have to get paid now because of that.

 

[michaelm]

Earlier, Andre had a long TD down the right side from Schaub, I think.

A few plays later, Dano just barely overthrew the same pass to Martinez

 

[spurstexanstros]

I cant find my personalized #32 jersey arrrrrrrggggggggghhhhh.

 

[valleytexfan]

Great updates, michael!

 

[michaelm]

DeMeco is out there

 

[TEXANS84]

Mike-
Who looks better out there so far, Grossman or DanO?

 

[michaelm]

They seem to really be taking some deep shots down field.
