He's just letting y'all know how he feels, just like TB on the other side of the isle.
I don't know why some posters have an issue with him expressing his opinion.
I have no issue, just don't understand the need to make the proclamation. Reminds me of the guys making a point to tell everyone they are leaving the board

If tom brady catches covid before he plays in the superbowl are gonna acknowledged his opponent as the champ when Tom had to quarantine?Why do you feel this way?
Fans in the stands mean that much to you?

I would. Injuries are part of game. Houston has had fair share of injuries over the years and few said "hey in 2017 those Texans should be SB champs if JJ Watt, rookie Watson, Fiedorowicz, Donde Foreman (remember hope we had for this leading rusher in nation from U of Texas?), Ryan Griffin and Mercilus had played all season! What if RB Ellington (on team 2 weeks IIRC) had actually played slot before he was moved there? Tom Savage was teaching him how to block as Savage called play, lol! Hey you guys remember who ended game versus Titans as WR 2? Me neither. Had to look it up. Chris Thompson who had one target before that game. Yeah, Super Bowlers that year..if they had just remained healthy." No one said it because injuries while breath takers and groan makers happen.If tom brady catches covid before he plays in the superbowl are gonna acknowledged his opponent as the champ when Tom had to quarantine?
I saw some video on him on the local TV sports the other night and he was impressive, has some quicks, and you know I actually saw more of a Khalil Mack likeness in Greenard than Scarlett.Oh no!! Weaver just compared Greenard to Brennan Scarlett, aarrgh! The rookie is doomed to be injured any day now. I didn't even read the article, just headline and I went into a fetal curl.
That's why I'm willing to trade BMac for Yannick Ngayoue as I think Greenard can play all LB spots. Those 2 would wreck havoc and Greenie would keep much of BMac's run stopping ability on field.I saw some video on him on the local TV sports the other night and he was impressive, has some quicks, and you know I actually saw more of a Khalil Mack likeness in Greenard than Scarlett.
Yea I like it !That's why I'm willing to trade BMac for Yannick Ngayoue as I think Greenard can play all LB spots. Those 2 would wreck havoc and Greenie would keep much of BMac's rub stopping ability on field.
I thought that most of greenard's experience was at De and OLB.That's why I'm willing to trade BMac for Yannick Ngayoue as I think Greenard can play all LB spots. Those 2 would wreck havoc and Greenie would keep much of BMac's rub stopping ability on field.
And you are correct however IMO he has skill set to play MLB. Greenard may become a Khalil Mack on outside and Yannick probably will not come to Houston but O'Brien likes players that can play other positions.I thought that most of greenard's experience was at De and OLB.
This guy is literally the most unbelievable story in NFL history. I think in his short NFL career he has been placed on Injured Reserve 6 times, has never played a single down in a regular season game, yet has 2 Super Bowl rings.Ex-Patriots RB, baseball player Tyler Gaffney auditions for Texans
Aaron Wilson Aug. 22, 2020
Once retired from the NFL and Major League Baseball, former New England Patriots running back Tyler Gaffney is auditioning for the Texans on Saturday morning in hopes of reviving his injury-filled career.
Due to multiple torn lateral meniscus injuries and going back and forth from the NFL and baseball, Gaffney hasn't had the kind of success and durability he had hoped for.
Healthy now, Gaffney has been training for the past eight months to make a comeback. Playing at 230 pounds, he suffered three lateral meniscus tears. Now down to 205 pounds and injury-free for three years, Gaffney trained this offseason with his friend, Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey, and caught passes from Drew Brees, Chase Daniel and Kevin Hogan while training at EXOS Carlsbad with receivers coach Ricky Proehl. He has been running the 40-yard dash in 4.40 seconds.
THE REST OF THE STORY
He has been indeed admirably persistent. His first Training practice play in the NFL resulted in a significant meniscus. What was not widely reported was that instead of the run of the mill medial meniscus tear, his injury was to lateral meniscus...........the meniscus that carries most of the knee's load.............the same injury that led to Clowney's microfracture, except that Gaffney underwent a repair instead of an excision of the meniscus. He subsequently had 2 more injuries to his medial meniscus..........all requiring surgery. It was amazing that he was able to walk normally, let alone to continue a baseball career.............and now to again pursue a career back in the NFL.This guy is literally the most unbelievable story in NFL history. I think in his short NFL career he has been placed on Injured Reserve 6 times, has never played a single down in a regular season game, yet has 2 Super Bowl rings.
I want to get excited about this season but I can’t stop thinking this whole thing is going to be shelved due to the pandemic. I really believe Watson will elevate his game.
What makes you think he will elevate his game?
He certainly has the weapons to elevate his game? Is this why you think he will get better? If so I agree he should get better.
I still hate that Hopkins was traded for a broken down rb and a draft pick but i
Believe Watson is gaining a better grasp of the offense. As far as the weapons around him, ASSUMING cooks, fuller and the oline can stay healthy this can be a potent offense.
Not necessarily. Nuke is not T.O. whining to get ball, Nuke was exceptional with garbage QBs and paired great with Watson.So you're thinking like I am, DW4 will be better off without Nuk?
Of the tryouts, I see nose tackle Javier Edwards has the greatest chance of eventually seeing his way back to the team.
That’s big big money tied up at the ILB spot now and between them they have their limitations.Told y’all Cunningham wasn’t going anywhere

I don’t and I really like Cunningham. I wanted him to stay here, I’m just not sure if they’ve been spending the cap wisely lately.Out of curiosity, does anyone consider Cunnigham the 3rd best ILB in football or a $14.5 million a year player?

We’ll have to see how he does now that Reader isn’t doing his thing in front of him.PFF HOU Texans
@PFF_Texans
In his third season, LB Zach Cunningham took a huge step forward against the run. * 89.2 run defense grade (4th among LB) * 108 solo tackles (T-2nd) * 65 stops (1st) * 14.2 run stop percentage (1st)
Doc posted this on another thread
Due to the consistently rising cap, where the money ranks on signing isn’t necessarily a reflection of how good the player is compared to others around the league. Texans could be caught with their pants down if the cap shrinks significantly, though.Out of curiosity, does anyone consider Cunnigham the 3rd best ILB in football or a $14.5 million a year player?
We can only hope!!!I saw some video on him on the local TV sports the other night and he was impressive, has some quicks, and you know I actually saw more of a Khalil Mack likeness in Greenard than Scarlett.
Can he cover a TE?
If not, then nope.
One year later, O'Brien believes Tunsil, Clowney trades were in Texans' best interests
Published: Aug 31, 2020 at 08:06 AM

Around the NFL Writer
One year ago today, Bill O'Brien made a series of moves that reshaped the Houston Texans' franchise.
The Texans coach and GM shipped two first-round picks, a second-round pick, corner Johnson Bademosi and offensive lineman Julie'n Davenport to Miami for offensive tackle Laremy Tunsil, receiver Kenny Stills, along with fourth and sixth-round picks.
O'Brien then sent franchise-tagged Jadeveon Clowney to Seattle for a third-rounder and linebackers Jacob Martin and Barkevious Mingo while agreeing to pay $7 million of Clowney's tag.
The moves completely remodeled Houston's future, particularly after O'Brien later handed Tunsil a three-year extension worth $66 million in April.
The day before the anniversary, O'Brien was asked about the pair of big trades he made. With the benefit of hindsight, the coach believes they were the right course for Houston to take.
"Look, I think that was a day where we made some moves that we felt were in the best interest of the team, not only last year but moving into the future. I believe that if you look at the players that we were able to acquire or maybe -- whether it was a pick we used to acquire a player, I believe it made us a better team. I have trouble remembering my own wedding anniversary so I'm glad you brought up that anniversary. But look, I think that this year's a little bit different. I wouldn't expect us to celebrate that anniversary tomorrow with a bunch of trades, but you never know.
"But I do think that it improved our team. Did it improve it to where we want to be? No, but everybody is involved in that. Coaching, playing. We've won a bunch of games over that last couple of years, but we all know that us and the city of Houston want us to do better and we're working hard to do better. But I do believe that day made us a better team both last year and in some ways into the future."
THE REST OF THE STORY
The Texans are playing a meaningful game in just over a week. Anyone want to predict...
the score?
number of total penalties?
rushing yardages for each team?
anything else?
Of all football seasons, this one deserves the most prognostication. We’ve had so little to cheer about and talk about (sports related) in 2020.
