Robaire Smith Cut

Enchilada Aficionado.
I had a feeling Mamoo wasn't lying...
Sometimes, it is who you know.
Roc Alexander - Was with Kubiak and the Bronco contingent in '04 & '05. Has returned kicks in the NFL & is a good special teamer.
Ron Dayne - Produced in Denver under Kubiak in a reserve role. Without DD, the Texans need a vet in the backfield.
Guss Scott - Coached by Jon Hoke for a couple of seasons at Florida.
Edell Sheperad - Coached by Kyle Shanahan at Tampa Bay. Also a an experienced NFL kick returner.
Atiyyah Ellison - No known connections with Texans coaching staff.
Oh, and Mamoo-Mamoo!

Kyle Shananhan wanted Shepherd. And based on what he's got cooking with Derrick Lewis I am inclined to get excited about Shepherd. Lewis should be starting based on what he's done in the preseason.

Titans | Team agrees to terms with R. Smith
Tue, 5 Sep 2006 14:34:21 -0700
The Tennessee Titans have announced agreeing to contract terms with free agent DL Robaire Smith (Texans). Details of the agreement were not disclosed.

This isn't a good thing...
I think this will come back and bite us in the butt. Call it instinct or whatever, but I think we will pay dearly for this cut.

If past performance is indicative of what we can expect in the future, RS will have two good games this year and both will be against us.
I'm brought back to the first day of (was it OTA's?) when Robaire and Flanagan got into a 'skirmish' -- it wasn't pretty. After practice, Gary led off his first address to the team by telling them to the effect that "I don't care who you are, any more of that and you're not going to be here."

It's amazing how quickly we feed on our own.....
Sorry for the late post, and thanks for breaking a newsflash.
Sorry you took so much heat. I would apologize and admit you were right had I disparaged your character. And I know I've probably posted less than you.
Go Texans.

Nobody is scared of the Titans anymore. Not even with Robaire Smith on their team. They are going to be among the worst overall defensive units out there this season. Bank on it.
If the TEXANS cut Robaire and the TITANS picked him up, then that says all you need to know.
I think we get caught up in the "Oh, this is going to bite us in the rear" mentality too often when we cut a long-timer who was fairly talented (at best). Look at what Coleman, Glenn, and Sharper have done (individually) to show us that they should have been kept on our team instead of getting cut. In fact, look at Wells, Hollings, Billy Miller, etc. Where are those guys? Cut. Some draft picks pan out, and some do not. I think the NFL is perhaps the deepest in terms of talent in all of professional sports. It's dang hard to make an NFL team and stick around for very long. I think Robaire was better a few seasons ago, but I think he was cut by the Titans because they had drafted better talent and could afford to let him go. Now, they've drafted poorly or have had to let go of good defensive linemen due to the nature of the beast that is free agency...and they MUST get an average guy like Robaire to at least stay decent.
Someone should trademark the "In the NFL, it's 'What have you done for me lately'..." comment. It rings so very true. What you did three years ago has no real impact on today's game if you're in the last stages of your career. We have been cutting guys that are past their prime, guys who were probably past their primes even when Capers brought them here.
Which is why I had been scratching my head when I saw we had picked up Antowain Smith at the beginning of camp. I would never have figured Kubiak to do that. We signed McCleon because we were desperate for a CB...and Titans are signing Robaire because they are desperate for d-linemen. It's the circle of life. Is our defensive secondary going to be the tops in the league? Prolly not. But neither is Titans d-linemen. Again, it's all in the context of the situation.
Robaire served his purpose well while he was here. He'll do OK with the Titans, but I think it's bombastic to say he's gonna' "rip it up" because we cut him. He's the enemy now, and our linemen will have no problem laying the wood to him just as much as he wants to do the same to us.

Wow someone gave me negative rep because I didn't believe a news report without a link. Next time just sue me, that way it doesn't lower my self esteem.

Go Texans!
You get negative rep?
Man, you are a loser.
I mean...seriously, you have to be a pretty bad poster to get negative rep.
Just kidding. At least you don't have hot-head lunatics PRIVATE MESSAGING you with tirades that make Ozzy Osbourne look like Mother Teresa. Wait till you got one of those coming after ya'. You'll be calling the cops to put an extra patrol on your street for the next few nights. Freaking creepy, man.

We all have our individual opinions.
84 sees what I see, pretty much. This is the new Texans, not the Capers 'everyone knows our scheme' team of the past. Of course one person doesn't make the team, but our new schemes are in place...and Robaire knows them. Plus, I think he was a good player. Looks as if I am a minority on that thought around here. Oh well, not the first time nor the last. Independent thinking can get you in deep kimchee around here, good thing I am used to it.
LOL @ Brandon420tx- I got neg rep for this thread too. Funny how fellow fans can diss on one another and NOT post their names to it. Not the first time someone left a mark and not a name. Bunch of chicken****s.
None of y'all deserve a negative report. I wouldn't have believed me either. I always believe in getting two sources first, unless one is impeccable... such as the Texans PR department sending a news release stating this is for immediate release. That's what I put on the post. I actually found most of the remarks quite amusing since I knew there would be a link soon enough.
