Working?
Ok, so we lost. But Davis had his 2nd stellar game in a row. Ironic that the only player still trying and playing well is the one everyone wants to replace with the #1 pick in the draft.
 
Hell yeah take that oh i want Bush. but hell yeah i hope DD Keeps doing this it will only make us get a better draft pick ill settle for a 3rd rounder.

no one wants to replace Davis!!!

argh :brickwall
 
I dont think for a moment R.Bush could replace DD ...But I do think they would compliment each other very well ....:tomato:
 
yah they just want to draft someone who can take most of his carries.. thus preserving Davis and giving him a cushy job as "that other back" that takes carries when Bush isnt throwing TDs, Catching TDs, rushing for TDs, returning kicks for TDs, kicking fieldgoals, and maintaining the field in his spare time.


I personally want the #1 pick so that we can trade down and get a buttload of picks from someone who wants Bush for a good reason.
 
reggie bush is too light to be a 25 carry between the tackles back. he only weighs 198, for the people comparing him to LT, he weighs 225.

I agree with this. If the texans get the #1 pick, some team is going to be willing to pay a king's ransom in picks and players for it. I truly think that if this happens, the texans will be competing this time next year for a playoff spot.

Wow hey, you know you're right gtexan02! That's the second really kick butt game of the season for Domanick Davis! I'm impressed!


Oh wait this is week 13 and the season consists of 16 games. Scratch that.

With the brilliant cast of characters he has around him, ONE great game is amazing.
 
I just had a brilliant idea. How about we keep Dominack Davis and draft Reggie Bush and have the best 1-2 running attack in the league. Everyone has been saying that we don't have an identity. Well with that tandem we would be one of the most dangerous running teams in the league and it would force safeties not to stay glued to Andre Johnson, which will allow him to get open and make David Carr's life a lot easier.

But I forgot. We only get 1 draft pick and there is no free agency so we have to draft a lineman, and we only are allowed 1 running back on the team so it is either Davis or Bush.
 
As long as the Texans could work out the financial end of things, I wish we could keep DD and draft Bush. Think about it, Priest Holmes and Larry Johnson in KC, Curtis Martin and Lamont Jordan (before he was traded) in NY, and Marshall Faulk and Steven Jackson in St Louis all co-existed together. Plus I would love to see DD in the backfield and Reggie in the slot on a few plays, I think that could cause some major matchup problems for the defense.

Well, we've tried Denver's blocking scheme, why not try their RB-by-committee approach as well?

It's not like our record could be much worse.

I will say this...if we get the #1 pick and DON'T trade down, then we da** well better pick Bush!
 
I can't tell you why, but I have a really strong feeling that the Texans will really regret not drafting Bush if they don't.

Exactly..


Davis did the same thing last year: He was below average most of the season and then during the last few games he had some nice games to make the Texans think the position was okay.

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.

All we have to do now is add their offensive coordinator.

Kubiak + Bush = New Denver Broncos

Can't play Davis and Bush in the same backfield!:texflag:

Conceivably they could but you don't use a #1 pick and $45 million to get a part-time RB. We have enough problems with some big contracts right now and could be in big cap problems in a couple years, and we don't need to tie up $70 million in two RB. If Gaffney leaves, which I couldn't especially blame him for doing, I wouldn't mind seeing Bush primarily at WR and then as 3rd down RB, but again you don't spend a #1 pick and $45 million to draft a WR, especially one that hasn't played WR before other than on a situational basis.

Don't want to replace him. Bush is SO versitle. Daivs good change of pace back. Bush is just someone amazing who comes along every so often you have to take him.

I know but let me guess....Brick will be able to add weight thanks to the NFL's strength program, right?

Will you guys still be hating Bush after he breaks DD's 40 into a 70 yard TD or will you still be saying how much he sucks!?
 
for trade carr and davis for offensive line; bush is the building block.
 
McNair Knows bush sells tickets if you ask any general manager would he rather win the super bowl or would he rather sell out every game and sell tons of merchandise i think the superbowl would come second to them
 
The Texans need to draft Bush first the most athletic Tight end second Third draft the nastiest defenseive players on the board with the rest of the picks and address the o-line through free agency all of this equals a serious playoff team in two seasons

Not against Bush coming here, but him coming here would be a big let down if other areas on offense are not upgraded. He's got a damn good O-line at USC. Our O-line.... well you know.

"addressing the line" with the 4th and 5th round picks is going to get you another 60 sack season.
 
yah lets model ourselves after the Denver Broncos.. then we can be a dynasty too... oh..wait..they havent won a superbowl since Elway.


Well.. the Patriots run the same scheme and look at how many superbowls they have won! oh...no...wait... they dont need 20 superstar RBs because they have a balanced and fully functioning offense to go with a strong defense.

well.. despite all that.. im sure having a superstar RB will shoot this team straight to the playoffs.. just like it did for the Chargers with LT and Lions with Barry Sanders..... oh....wait...

well.. all logic and historical fact aside.. there isnt a team out there that wouldnt rather have Reggie Bush than alot of first day picks.. 1 real superstar can do more for a team than 4-6 good players.. just look at the old Cowboys dynasty... oh....wait...

there are a bunch of "complicated" cap penalties that basically keep us from trading a guy we just signed to a multiyear contract with a big bonus.

4-6 good players? you think we're going to get 4-6 good players if we trade down?


its still the draft, there is a much higher chance that the picks we get later will be busts compared to Bush.
 
I doubt that 4-6 good players would actually be signed out of the draft.. the point of that though was to illustrate that when you have the opportunity to make a big profit on a pick (in this case...lots of extra picks in trade)..taking those extra picks can sometimes be a better option than getting 1 superstar.. in this case..1 POTENTIAL superstar.
 
If Casserly is the GM, then you had better take Bush. I don't trust him making any other high-value personnel decisions. However, if we get a new GM, it may be worth looking at trading down. Regardless of the path we take, we can't afford to blow it by winning any more games!
 
hopefully McNair's new found ability to question the hell out of Casserly's decisions will also apply to his draft picks. Maybe if Casserly has to seriously explain his draft board, we will see better picks.

Audition?
 
we just signed him to a longer contract... and Davis always gives 100%. even if we did do the wrong thing and draft Bush.. Davis isnt going anywhere.

You left off the tandem both going for a thousand this year: Mike Anderson and Tatum Bell with the Broncons.

I'm afraid that Casserly would agree with you.

Why is the offensive line always our lowest priority? I counted 6 sacks today before I got sick of it and changed the channel. Our offensive line has been the laughingstock of the NFL for 4 years. It's like we're in denial. 3 years ago they ran an NFL draft commercial with David Carr playing without an offensive line. Everybody in the country knows what our problem is except the people closest to the problem (Casserly). It's amazing how we will find a million uses of our draft pick other than the obvious offensive linemen.

Teams do not want to part with a good offensive lineman. When are we going to figure out that there aren't any good ones in the later rounds or free agency?

You are not serious. Ask Al Davis or Jerry Jones or Mr Kraft if they would rather sell seats and Merchindise rather than win the big one.
Win the Superbowl=sold out stadium and a increase in merchandise sales

I think it depends on the owner and I think that it is unfair to categorize all owners as only concerned with making a profit. Although there are some (Boogie Benson) who would rather make a profit, others like Kraft put winning over merchandise sales and ticket sales because he is a true fan of the team.

But like I said earlier, I think that Reggie Bush could have a similar effect that Michael Vick did to the Falcons franchise and LeBron James is doing to the Cavaliers franchise. You get more national recognition, more air time, and more money. This leads to better free agents and better coaches too. Having a player like a Vick or Bush brings electricty and energy to teams.

This sounds like a recipe for a couple more #1 overall picks in the upcoming years.

You know Grid...I feel you on this, but I have no faith in the current front office to be able to do anything with the picks you could get from this approach.

If Casserly stays, draft Bush. If we have a competent GM, then make the trade.

Thats what Im sayin. Good teams have more than 1 running option. Besides some annalyist(sp) think Bush could be the best WR in the draft as well as best RB. And if all else fails we could run triple option with DD at FB and Bush at RB...:sarcasm:
