Yeah, I know what you've said... that doesn't make it any more understandableI’ve explained it many times.
This happens more than people realize and has been called out more than once. It can also cause the OL having to block longer, CJ holding the ball and frustration that we've seen in the demeanor of some of the players.
Good job!We should have just hired Nico's brother Phil.
If we had, we would have had one more night to play the game. Could have said I don't care any more, its just another day in paradise, after surviving the divisional round on the day the Texans faced the Ravens or Bills we would have felt it in the air tonight against all odds.
Peyton and Tommy weren't above some gamesmanship. Though nothing as blatant as Mahomes pulls.I respected Manning and Brady, I do not respect Mahomes.
The Texans have one of the least athletic O-lines in the NFL. You never see these guys get down the field and block. They can't pull. Or get out on screens. Or move their feet on stunts. Or reach block. Or...do their jobs.I doubt we spend a high draft picks on OL. I don't think the problem is they Jimmies & the Joes.
Mason been below avg all season. He's a try hard type. They don't have anyone dynamic beyond Mixon in the backfield. They also don't have any wr that can run by anyoneCaserio has worked with Ryans and the defensive braintrust to draft and acquire players that fit with their scheme and desired attributes. In two years they have turned an abysmal unit into one of the most feared defenses in the league. The Texans can coach up middling talent to fit with their system and they have improved over the past two years.
There is no such progress on the offensive side of the ball. It is not because they haven't invested money, trade and draft capital into the offensive line, or recieving corps. I believe the Texans have invested the second, or third most proportion of their cap in the line in the league. Caserio has certainly spent a lot on young lineman in the draft.
The problem is that Slowick and Caserio don't have a lot of background and experience in designing and building good offenses. I question their judgement based on two seasons of results. The Texans have lost many games this year that were such statistical anomolies because of their poor offense. For as much as you question the in-game adjusments on offense, the offensive braintrust has made so many bewildering decisions this year. Why was the team so slow to adjust and move to more quick passing options after it became apprent that their offensive line could not protect Stroud? Why was there no aggressive move to add another tight end, or reciever after the in-season injuries? Why did they rely so heavily on an aging back like Mixon? Why were they so slow to move on from Kenyon Green? Why did they decide to move Mason back into the starting lineup when they played so much better with Scruggs recently?
Ultimately, it will be Demeco's job to insist on changes to the offensive staff and scheme if they are going to happen. The attention to detail overall needs to improve and there has to be someone over there that inists on that on both sides of the ball.
You dont like potheads?I’ve explained it many times.
Loyalty to a veteran it's what I heard on the radio just before the game.Serious question… why was mason starting instead of Juice?
One of the better ones in the league.Like it or not Tunsil is the best we got at LT.
Since you're not going to watch crap that is rigged, will you soon be doing a goodbye thread to the message board?My takeaway is the crap is rigged.
End of discussion!
He is the only thing we have at left taco right now.Like it or not Tunsil is the best we got at LT.
Gotta hang in long enough. Thats just the way it is.Good job!
Good thing because it’s no fun being an illegal alien
A couple of dynamic playmakers would really make a difference on this team. Want to really improve this team?Mason been below avg all season. He's a try hard type. They don't have anyone dynamic beyond Mixon in the backfield. They also don't have any wr that can run by anyone
The one offensive linemen who can pull sat on the bench, Juice Scruggs. The one who can’t pull, Shaq Mason played the whole game. Unless Juice was truly injured and unable to go, should of been no brainer to start him over Mason.Peyton and Tommy weren't above some gamesmanship. Though nothing as blatant as Mahomes pulls.

Going into the season thinking this group could pull it together and be a plus offensive line was the biggest mistake of the year. More than all the bad calls, be they by the refs or Bobby Slowik. Nothing gets fixed without better Jimmys and Joes on the offensive line.
Like a lot of what you said, but unless they’re BPA when Texan selection is up, I’m taking BPA. Address as many needs via trade or free agency. Draft best player available who fits scheme.A couple of dynamic playmakers would really make a difference on this team. Want to really improve this team?
Rd. 1 Tre Harris or Savion Williams
Rd.2 Harold Fannin Jr.
Rd.3 Isiah Bond WR Texas, Yes I think he falls this far
Rd.3 Trade up for Dylan Fairchild or Anthony Belton.
Sign C Drew Dahlman, Joe Noteboom and a blocking TE like Austin Hooper in FA. ( These guys should be cheap FA pickups, besides Dahlman) Along with Signing a cheap S like Mike Edwards and lets roll.
Playmakers with speed and fixing the OL.
No (letterman) jacket required to hire PC…unless Texans playing the patriotsWe should have just hired Nico's brother Phil.
If we had, we would have had one more night to play the game. Could have said I don't care any more, its just another day in paradise, after surviving the divisional round on the day the Texans faced the Ravens or Bills we would have felt it in the air tonight against all odds.
You know I like Tunsil but Alaric Jackson at 6'6 345 is very good and 4 years younger. If we got him in free agency plus a heavy package trade, it has to be at least considered.One of the better ones in the league.
Look at the playoff teams left.
Rams- Tunsil> Jackson in these playoffs
Eagles- Matuala (SP?) Had a few penalties today, but we'll call this a push.
Buffalo- Dawkins had a decent day, missed a few blocks on screens Bills didn't throw the ball that much, so no pass pro issues. Lets call this a push
Baltimore - Push
Washington- Tunsil > Coleman, a guy I really wanted Caserio to draft last yr and would look great next to Tunsil at LG.
Kansas City- Tunsil > Humphries or whoever else that they put at LT.
Tunsil is the least of this OL's issues.
These guys would be worthy of where I slotted them.Like a lot of what you said, but unless they’re BPA when Texan selection is up, I’m taking BPA. Address as many needs via trade or free agency. Draft best player available who fits scheme.
The Rams aren't going to let Jackson go. Tunsil > Jackson IMHOYou know I like Tunsil but Alaric Jackson at 6'6 345 is very good and 4 years younger. If we got him in free agency plus a heavy package trade, it has to be at least considered.
Trading Tunsil cannot be looked at as just the loss of a very good player but what we do with what we get for him.

They had Diggs and tank Dell before injury but I agree with what you're sayingMason been below avg all season. He's a try hard type. They don't have anyone dynamic beyond Mixon in the backfield. They also don't have any wr that can run by anyone
I provided a link that Rams were not sure that Jackson was a franchise left tackle and may be unwilling to bring him back at the extension he will be worth.The Rams aren't going to let Jackson go. Tunsil > Jackson IMHO
If the Rams were to let Jackson walk in FA, then why wouldn't another team just sign Jackson in FA instead of giving up draft capital for Tunsil.
He probably can get 3 of the 4. Would that make you happy?Nick needs to find a way to get Tre Harris; Isaiah Bond; Fannin and Matthew Golden.![]()
You probably won't have the money to sign both Jackson and Smith in FA.I provided a link that Rams were not sure that Jackson was a franchise left tackle and may be unwilling to bring him back at the extension he will be worth.
Other teams would go after Alaric as they did Danielle Hunter but Nick won. You are interested in Trey Smith and other teams would go after him.
Bears will probably take Kelvin Banks from Texas. The odds of him being anywhere near Tunsil's abilities in year one is probably nil.
I would not take Banks over Tunsil straight up. I would take 1.10 plus..
IF.. I could get Jackson in FA.
Jackson with Banks at left guard plus Fries or Trey Smith at right guard plus what we get besides 10 for Tunsil is interesting.
Tank and Diggs really aren't run by receivers these daysThey had Diggs and tank Dell before injury but I agree with what you're saying
I disagree but I'm off to bed. I'm pretty sure I posted what we could save by moving Mason, Howard and Schultz. The only reason to get Jackson would be to permit the trade of Tunsil which would also bring ~$14 million cap space. I think we can get jackson, fries and Trey Smith. Remember the APY does not set the actual cap for each year. That can be adjusted.You probably won't have the money to sign both Jackson and Smith in FA.
Zach Martin still has a year or two left in him. From a Veteran standpoint he could be the vocal leader on the OL.You probably won't have the money to sign both Jackson and Smith in FA.
They were when they were healthy.Tank and Diggs really aren't run by receivers these days
Spagnuolo beat Slowick on that one.
Everyone is high on Golden now but at UH he dropped a lot of passes.Nick needs to find a way to get Tre Harris; Isaiah Bond; Fannin and Matthew Golden.![]()
Diggs ain't ran by anyone since really his viking days. He's more possession, move the chains guy. I wanted Brian Thomas Jr last draft.They were when they were healthy.
Will Campbell will go before BanksI provided a link that Rams were not sure that Jackson was a franchise left tackle and may be unwilling to bring him back at the extension he will be worth.

I know that's what you think. Myself and a majority of NFL players disagree with youHe’s a lazy, overpriced penalty machine who is ruining the culture of the line. Succinct and to the point. Still not understanding?![]()
Those darned old pot smokers.I know that's what you think. Myself and a majority of NFL players disagree with you
He gets separation, presents a good target, & has good hands.Diggs ain't ran by anyone since really his viking days. He's more possession, move the chains guy. I wanted Brian Thomas Jr last draft.
Exactly who I think of him as. Exploiting of **** refs and rules to inflate his stats and achievements.Mahomes = James Harden?
You’re wrongIf anyone thinks this was a good showing by texans today then you have no idea what nut cutting time is
See the past few ravens game if still don't understand
We are no better this year than last year or under the OB era
Tell me I'm wrong
They will keep him to justify that 2nd rd pick. BTW, the qb he supposedly made is in the afccg with a rookie and cast offsHe gets separation, presents a good target, & has good hands.
We definitely shouldn’t pay him anything like we did last season, but I’m not opposed to bringing him back.
He did a good job making that QB. Let’s hope he keeps that streak going.They will keep him to justify that 2nd rd pick. BTW, the qb he supposedly made is in the afccg with a rookie and cast offs
Let me be clear, I am not saying that we lost b/c of ref bias..Kaimi & the o-line made sure that there were other talking points about the game in that regard. But by all accounts, if this team is supposed to be so good, they shouldn’t need biased ref calls to get them over the hump in crucial situations either. My issue is those same calls aren’t being extended to the opposition…& the exploitation of the rules..particularly by Mahomo’s ***** ass.You have to score more than 12 if you are going to overcome a good team plus the bias in officiating.
I don’t read too much into that b/c It was bound to happen considering 1 guy was young and ascending and the other was older and was on the descent; 2 ships passing in the night. & when you consider Allen’s numbers in his 1st 2 seasons prior to Diggs’ arrival and his numbers the next with Diggs & how they absolutely exploded, both things can & probably are true. Diggs helped him ascend much faster than he he was looking like he otherwise would’ve imo. Aside from that, Allen did nothing special in the game against Baltimore yesterday…game manager type stuff.They will keep him to justify that 2nd rd pick. BTW, the qb he supposedly made is in the afccg with a rookie and cast offs
So you agree that he got better under Sark at UT his junior year where he was "most trustworthy " receiver?Everyone is high on Golden now but at UH he dropped a lot of passes.
