I think we'll be seeing a bunch of UDFAs in camp. They're like late round picksMaybe bring in a late rounder/udfa. Or maybe it means they’ll spend a high pick on a player they really like? I am just some guy on a message board what do I know?!

Maybe if they cut someone like Scottie Phillips or Darius Anderson. But how many can they really add if they are already at 6?I think we'll be seeing a bunch of UDFAs in camp. They're like late round picks
None of the six RBs are true number 1 guys. They are all cutable, imo. Unless they gave Marlon Mack a contract I didn't expect, the Texans can add a draft pick on sign an undrafted free agent or two and let the crowd thin it self out with injury, level of play , special teams abilityMaybe if they cut someone like Scottie Phillips or Darius Anderson. But how many can they really add if they are already at 6?
I agree they all can be cut. But if they have six RBs on roster already (not including FB Andy Janovich who I forgot to count) I don’t see them adding more than one rookie.None of the six RBs are true number 1 guys.

When I say cut, I mean cut any time. A draft 2nd/3rd rounder can make Scottie useless on May 1.I agree they all can be cut. But if they have six RBs on roster already (not including FB Andy Janovich who I forgot to count) I don’t see them adding more than one rookie.
They only took seven RBs to camp last season and can only have 90 bodies at camp.
I like the addition of Mack to the RB group. He is low risk, high reward and has very little wear the last 2 years. At the start of the season he will be 2 years removed from his achilles injury and we will see if he can regain his explosion.With the Marlon Mack signing the Texans have a stable of veteran RBs. I expected them to go for some rookies this season but they may use draft to plug much needed holes in other areas. Maybe bring in a late rounder/udfa.

I'm hoping Caserio drafts a guy like Zamir White or Brian Robinson in the 4th and a guy like Master Teague or Keontray Ingram in the 6th. Cut guys like Phillips and Anderson if need be.Maybe if they cut someone like Scottie Phillips or Darius Anderson. But how many can they really add if they are already at 6?
still a bunch of nobodies imo. If they had offered Foreman the contract he go in Carolina, that would help solve a problem. He's young,healthy,without alot of miles and recent production.

nobody stacked any box vs Texans, they stopped the run with their front 4 and flooded zones in pass situations.RB’s, Breece Hall and Pierre Strong, Jr would eliminate (2) from this group fairly quickly.
If the team improves the OL and this current stable of RB’s listed above fails to move the needle…..it’s going to be another season of stacked boxes and blitzes.
Appears to be a good pickup. What concern should last season's turf toe give us?I’m interested in the waiver wire acquisition of Cowboys 2020 4th round pick Reggie Robinson. Long rangy CB out of Tulsa that year.
Apparently he was asked to switch positions multiple times his rookie year during peak Covid protocols and then got hurt early in his 2nd season. He’s a talented player with two years left on his rookie contract.
Houston claims Cleburne's Reggie Robinson II off waivers from Cowboys
After being released by the Dallas Cowboys, Cleburne’s Reggie Robinson II has a fresh start in the NFL as a new member of the Houston Texans.www.cleburnetimesreview.com
“
Sports Illustrated’s Mike Fisher, who has covered the Cowboys since 1990, said on Twitter he believes Dallas’ coaching staff mishandled Robinson.
“I don’t think the #Cowboys scouting dept. missed on DB Reggie Robinson. I think the coaching staff did,” Fisher tweeted.”
Also from the article it sounds like Lovie did his research on him:
“
Reginald Robinson said he’s excited that his son now has a new beginning in Houston under Lovie Smith, who was named Texans' head coach on Feb. 7.
“I’m very happy,” Reginald Robinson said. “You can also throw in the Tulsa connection with Coach Lovie because Coach Lovie is a Tulsa alum. Coach Lovie had called Coach [Aaron] Fletcher, who was Reggie’s position coach in Tulsa, and Coach Fletcher gave him the low down on Reggie and that sealed the deal.”
If healthy Mack is a better RB than Foreman.still a bunch of nobodies imo. If they had offered Foreman the contract he go in Carolina, that would help solve a problem. He's young,healthy,without alot of miles and recent production. I hope they take a back in the 2nd or 3rd rd
There’s no reason to believe Mack, one year removed from an Achilles tear, will perform as well as Foreman did last season in limited/backup to the backup duty.If healthy Mack is a better RB than Foreman.
Mack and say drafting Pierce at 4-107 would solve the run game issues as long as the ol gets fixed.
I believe CnD said it usually takes a player 2 yrs to return to form, if they ever overcome this injury.There’s no reason to believe Mack, one year removed from an Achilles tear, will perform as well as Foreman did last season in limited/backup to the backup duty.
It would be nice to see him back to anywhere close to his pre-injury level........we will have to wait and see if he is one of those that can.........certainly worth the risk if the guaranteed money is reasonable, and additional incentives are built into the contract.I believe CnD said it usually takes a player 2 yrs to return to form, if they ever overcome this injury.
Next yr will be Mack's 2nd yr since he was injured.
Just because some of these guys are on the roster now doesn't mean they will be on the roster post draft.Texans RB room now:

Mack is washed. Even though there were opportunities even with the bell cow they have, they chose to give his time to hymes and his explosion. Foreman hasn't performed at Mack previous level, but based on last year in his limited time and his age, he's a much better option than Mack imo and recent production. Foreman,Burkhead, James Cook,and whomever covers all your bases and you wouldn't need 6 nobodies. At some point, you need runners who can make guys miss or break tackles and have youth in the backfield.If healthy Mack is a better RB than Foreman.
Mack and say drafting Pierce at 4-107 would solve the run game issues as long as the ol gets fixed.
But they weren't.If the same player were to be signed by the Pats it would be genius move.
We all hope it works out.But they weren't.
I mean Burkhead was with the Patriots. They consciously made the decision not to sign him. As you said, genius.
Marlon Mack has been out there for the taking. Do you believe Mack chose Houston because he's more likely to win? Or do you believe the Patriots genius said no to Mack? They didn't even bring him in for a workout. Genius?
This is another Caserio gamble. Like Ingram, Taylor, Phillips, & Canon. I hope it ends better than those

Mack is a low-risk gamble. If he can return to his old form, then we've got a really good, experienced back who can improve our RB room.Mack was a 4th rd draft pick. Why not just find and draft your own younger version of him?
A fresh young buck with something to prove and no injury history will likely overshadow Mack.Mack is a low-risk gamble. If he can return to his old form, then we've got a really good, experienced back who can improve our RB room.
But we STILL need to find and draft our own younger version of him.
So, basically, why not both?
The odds are against us either way. He's probably not going to return to who he was before his injury. And whoever we pick in the 4th or 5th round probably isn't going to be very good either.
But we STILL need to find and draft our own younger version of him.
So, basically, why not both?
Why aim at Marlon Mack & not Jonathan Taylor?And whoever we pick in the 4th or 5th round probably isn't going to be very good either.
Well, because we were talking about Marlon Mack and not Jonathan Taylor.Why aim at Marlon Mack & not Jonathan Taylor?
He tore his achilles in the Colts season opener September 13, 2020. Our 2022 opening day is exactly 2 years from Mack's injury. He is low milage and worth a shot to see if he can regain his former results.I believe CnD said it usually takes a player 2 yrs to return to form, if they ever overcome this injury.
Next yr will be Mack's 2nd yr since he was injured.
I believe that’s the mission, drafting a RB or two in maybe rounds 2 and in the later round.Mack was a 4th rd draft pick. Why not just find and draft your own younger version of him?
Draft picks used on RBs while Caserio was director of player personnel:I don't expect Caserio to spend a 2nd round pick on a running back, but I wouldn't be surprised if he used a 4th rounder on one.
Agreed,Mack was a 4th rd draft pick. Why not just find and draft your own younger version of him?
Looks good. Didn't know he was on our team.What do y'all think about this guy from Oregon?
Lindsay was released last NovemberHe is reunited with another former Bronco, Phillip Lindsay.
Looks like Carstereo likes a Bronco connection!Lindsay was released last November
Why do you call him Carstereo?Looks like Carstereo likes a Bronco connection!
Probably for the same reason I call him Casino. No reason, just screwing with his name.Why do you call him Carstereo?
Rhymes with Caserio.Why do you call him Carstereo?
Looks great when he's untouched for 30 yards. I've never seen until now a highlight tape of a 220 lb RB where he breaks 2 tackles in 11 minutes.What do y'all think about this guy from Oregon?
You have to have studs, leaders and high profile players.I'm guessing some posters panties will be in a wad over the Tunsil reworking and Cooks extension.
I guess Caserio values veteran leadership.
Looks like a prove it deal.Marlon Mack's contract:
one year, $2M
$250K signing bonus
salary $1.25M, $29,412 per game active roster bonus up to $500K
I'm thinking one of those 3rd/4th picks will be used on a RB.Looks like a prove it deal.
I still think he needs a healthy young buck to partner with him. Just in case.
I would like to see a rookie added to the mix. I hope i’m wrong that the number they have on the roster means that RB will not be addressed with more than a lower round/udfa addition. I’d like to use the 4ths on a TE/RB. Think high value for those positions in that range.I'm thinking one of those 3rd/4th picks will be used on a RB.
