Possible but remember the Texans were Bob's baby and he fought long and hard to bring them to Houston, the rest of the league wanted the new team to be in LA, so I have a hard time believing he would leave it to chance. My guess is there is money set aside to help with the running. Besides it's not like the team doesn't make money, yeah running an NFL team is hella expensive but the Texans make a lot to.
According to Forbes they are ranked 9th for team value. Pretty good for a 16 year old team with nothing but division titles.

He was. Moved from our bed to underneath Bear's cradle. Did it again when Dalton was born. Dog would have eaten anyone.
Elvis went thru a window. Jackass.
God damn window. Smooth thru. Window guy said it was the 1st he'd seen. Frikkin heads are built like tanks.
Not entirely wife friendly. Jake used to put his back to me and kick his legs. Knock the wife out of bed. Wife wasn't fond of that one.

Strong season. Watson played very well despite his broken Oline. Pretty proud of the team overall after such a bad start.
OB got exposed again though. I just can't get that angry, emotional, or excited with him as the coach at this point, because I feel like he'll continue to be their achilles heal.

His refusal to hire strong, renown coaches is his Achilles heel.
He seems to think he can do it all himself - he is probably smart enough to have basic knowledge on most of it, but he needs excellence - if he wants excellence as the final result.

Not kidding @CloakNNNdagger but don't get the wrong idea. They don't go beer for beer with me. Let's just say if a beer is spilled on the patio, I don't need to go inside and get paper towels. And I rarely, if at all, ever spill a beer.
I hear you man because I too savor every last drop.
Yep, they will eat/drink just about anything.
Foreman/Thomas would agree with this post.

Just an FYI, I work with one of the biggest dog rescue groups in Houston and have seen what can happen when Dogs get into alcohol. Dogs do not have the ability to break down alcohol like humans..............the concern is not liver damage so much as it is kidney failure. In many cases, it is volume related, but in enough incidences very little is involved. This kidney failure can come on acutely or present as a chronic, but progressive process. Toxicity is especially concerning with beer, as hops is quite toxic to the canine cardiovascular and body temperature-regulating system and kidneys. The temperature-regulating failure condition is known as "malignant hyperthermia"...........a condition marked by body temperatures exceeding 105⁰F, increased breathing, a racing heart rate, anxiety, vomiting, abnormal clotting, and even death if not treat within 6 hours of ingestion of the hops. Any breed of dog may be affected, but breeds predisposed to malignant hyperthermia (e.g., greyhounds, Labrador retrievers, Saint Bernards, pointers, Dobermans, Border collies, English springer spaniels, and northern breeds) are at much higher risk for toxicity.
If a dog owner wants to have his best friend(s) kick back some brews with him [https://barkpost.com/life/beers-for-dogs/], he needs to look into a product like Bowser Beer (or BarkBrew Beer, or Dog Wine Fetch Me Grigio, of Dog Wine Fetch Me Noir , or Bottom Sniffer Beer, or Snuffle Beer, or Dawg Grog, or Dog Beer) which contains no alcohol or hops.

Disturbing that "upgrading the TE's" is considered a need.
Did we waste two picks last year?
Just maybe promoting our TE coach was an addition by subtraction.
It seems to be the consensus here that the OL and possibly the TE coach under performed last year.
Is our new QB coach a threat to our new OC if he disappoints next year?
Or is Obrien incapable of thinking that far in advance?

The Texans have always carried 3 TE's. The Jordan's were solid picks and should've had a full development season in 2018 but OB insisted on playing Griffin instead. What did we learn by season's end? Griffin still sucks and the Jordan's have upside Griffin could only dream of. To ensure OB doesn't decide to pro-long the start of their careers in 2019.....Gaine has to dump Griffin and get a new TE to join the Jordan's.

TE is like the 5th position listed and someone's opinion...The rookies largely played like rookies and were used inconsistently...If the author had listed OT and OG versus OL or DT and DE spearately TE would 7th most important of so which seems about right...Nothing extra for me to read into this one at least.

Doubt it since he was picked later and on practice squad. But I think the Jordans can be good starters next year.

What neither of you have sufficient baincells to figure out our rookies that played last year are both named Jordon. Lots of people all year have called them tthe Jordans.
Or are y'all too lazy to look up the practice squad.

O’Brien said they like to draft their players and have them improve. Like to rely on players who have been in the building. They value the familiarity the players on the roster have with the organization. Said on occasions you have to add free agent.
