Texans press conference now

Let me say that in no way am I defending the local media types... but I am curious.

What questions would you guys have liked to have answered? I see a lot of complaining about the lack of substance in the presser - and you're right it was terribly underwhelming - but no one has yet posted, "Why the crap didn't they ask so-and-so this...?" and go on to say what they wanted/expected to hear.

I would have liked to hear an answer to, "Have you studied Peyton Manning and how do you intend to stop him from connecting to Reggie Wayne?"
or... "Have you reviewed the Texans' schedule and if so, which team(s) 'worries' you the most and why?"

Manning did say that he felt he could bring some experience vs. Payton Manning.

It would have been funny if Manning spoke in third person.

"Manning knows what Manning brings to the table."
"Manning will exploit Manning's weaknesses and kick Manning's ass."
"Manning's team is gonna kick the crap out of Manning's team."

Its already finished corrosion.

There wasn't a lot to take from that.

JJo knew his stuff about the Texans DB's, saying there is talent between KJ,GQ, and Jason Allen being a former 1st rounder. Obviously knew the situation he was coming in to.

Manning wasn't as certain on who his team mates were, we'll gloss over that though lol.

Thought it was interesting to see them ask Manning whether he supported the Texans whilst growing up, bet he wasn't used to such tough journalism in Chicago :ahhaha:

Manning also stated that he had hoped to come home to Texas all offseason and that he hadn't been a part of any unnofficial OTA's with DaBearz this offseason.

Save me some typing but basically this.
 
Just saw part of the presser on Fox26. If you remove the "You Know's" Joseph was really damn impressive.

From the transcript of the interview...
S Danieal Manning
(Opening statement) “How’s everybody doing? I’m Danieal Manning and I’m very excited to be here in my home state of Texas, back home in Houston. I’m around a lot of familiar faces and this has been very exciting, this whole process. Unfortunately, it was a long process with the lockout and all that, but I’m glad things are starting to roll in a way that we can have a good season. This looks like the Houston Texans are going to be fighting really hard and getting in the playoffs.”

CB Johnathan Joseph
(Opening statement) I’m Johnathan Joseph. I’m not a fellow Houston(onian) or a fellow Texan guy, but I’m from South Carolina. Like Danieal said, I’m just happy to be here and happy to be part of this situation that the Houston Texans have going on, and I think with the addition of both of us I think we’re moving in the right direction and adding pieces to the puzzle to be a contender for years to come. I’m just happy to be a part of this process and thankful for the opportunity to be here.”

Danieal Manning
(on what he can bring to the team) “For myself, I feel like experience is number one. I played in several big games, including the Super Bowl, we played there. You guys around here know a lot about Peyton Manning. I have my experience with him in the Super Bowl and things like that. Number two would be my versatility; what I can bring as a safety and as far as covering guys, my range that I have and tackling ability. In special teams, being a returner. I feel like I can bring a spark to the team and give us great field position there. Like I said earlier, getting us into the playoffs.”

Johnathan Joseph
(on what he can bring to the team) “I think I bring a proven veteran player to this team. They have a lot of young talent back in the back end and on defense as well, and I think with the addition, you can never have enough talent. I think by the addition of us, proven veteran players, as (Manning) said, he had played into the Super Bowl and I’ve had a chance to play into the playoffs as well. Bringing that experience along for the rest of these guys, and just helping everyone else get to the next level, which is the ultimate goal, I think is a plus for this Houston Texans organization.”

(on what persuaded him to come to the Texans) “Myself as a player, I always like to follow other teams around the league and see what they have going on in their situations as well. This was my chance at free agency and once I looked and explored around the league, I’d seen the Houston Texans had almost every piece to the puzzle, as far as offense and defense. They were just missing a couple of pieces in the back end, with the youth back there. To add a couple of veteran players, I think that was the first thing that lured me this way because if you put the pieces to the puzzle and they become the right puzzle, I think the sky is the limit. They could be contenders for years, and I think that’s what we bring.”

They need to be using "we" and "us" instead of "this" and "they" a bit more.

You guys are part of the team now. Let's go.
