Texans random thought of the day

[badboy]

part of me wishes we still had the Oilers logo and colors. Feeling all nostalgic watching old highlights this morning...

Know how you feel, I watch old Dukes of Hazzard and wish Daisy...

JJ Watt flew more than 20 teammates up to his cabin in Wisconsin so they could all train together. From snapchat:

There's a good chance Texans will play on AstroTurf at NRG Stadium 4 a 2nd season n a row. Bob McNair "We’re seriously looking at that."

Bob McNair said when Andre Johnson's career is over, he hopes he'll retire as a Texan. Meaning 1 of those 1-day contracts 2 make it official

   O'Brien is really advocating for getting to work earlier with players, especially quarterbacks. Believes his players want that, too. #Texans
   
2. Bill O'Brien said he's heard Brock Osweiler and DeAndre Hopkins are getting together in Arizona to work together a bit. #Texans

and I think it is possible that K. Johnson can be better than either Jackson or Joseph. There are some good players on this team, fans just forget sometimes when the negative aspects of a game are getting the focus.

AJ Bouye is signing his tender with the Texans today, so that's good news in my book. Dude is always around the ball.

Yeah I started to add that but not many agree that he will be a very good CB.

Good special teams player too which most people tend to ignore or underrate.

good point and I think most folks remember only the name of the player announced as getting the tackle; others often make plays that cause "the" play.

With the return of Bouye. Joseph, Jackson, Johnson and Bouye is a strong four at cornerback. Add in James, still a strength of the defense.

 

[Shishkabob]

still would like to see us draft Cyrus Jones, I think he is an underrated corner in this draft came in as a WR so he is still learning the position, but man is he dangerous in the return game

 

[infantrycak]

The Texans and quarterback Brian Hoyer plan to part ways, NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reportedTuesday night.

That’s no surprise given the way last season ended and that the Texans spent big money on Brock Osweiler to become their starting quarterback earlier this month. Rapoport’s report didn’t specify if a release was imminent or if the Texans would try to trade Hoyer.

C'mon draft!!! My God, it's so boring around this place. What a lengthy offseason!

DT Nick Fairley turns down Texans, signs with Saints; LINK

Veteran defensive tackle Nick Fairley is signing a one-year contract with the New Orleans Saints after declining contract offers from the Texans, New England Patriots and Philadelphia Eagles, according to a source not authorized to speak publicly.

First I've heard of such an offer.

I don't really know anything about it but the Saints are moving to a 4-3 this year. Pretty sure in the past that Fairley has said he wants nothing to do with playing in a 3-4.

He also gets to re-join Suh.

Wow.

OK.

I guess the drugs kicked in. For some reason, I thought he'd signed with the Dolphins, not the Saints.

My bad.

If he wants to be closer to Mardi Gras, perhaps we really did want him after all.

Nowhere else, other than this board, will anyone understand that. LOL

Fairely has spent his entire NFL career in the 4-3. The Saints specifically signed him expecting him to play the 3-technique tackle in their new 4-3.

[badboy]

Fairley had very good year 2015 but ended on IR late. Is New Orleans getting the pre injury DT or the Detroit average of 25 tackles? More interesting is the way the contract is worded:

Defensive tackle Nick Fairley's new deal with the New Orleans Saints will last for only one season, but the team used an accounting maneuver to limit their salary cap liability.

The Saints' official announcement said Fairley signed a one-year deal, but the actual contract is for three years, the Boston Globe reported. However, the final two years of the contract void automatically if Fairley is still on the roster in February.

Average NFL passer rating last season was a record 90.2. Steve Young (96.8), Joe Montana (92.3) only HOF QBs with a higher career rating.

Something's happened to the game since the good ole days............esp, when Hoyer came out with a 91.4.

 

[infantrycak]

It's changing quickly too. When Schaub got to the Texans topping 90 was very good. Now it's meh.

& when Schaub threw for 4,000 yards it was something. Now... it's expected.

Yup. When he did it back to back he became the 7th iirc QB to do that.

Did I miss this on here and if so what thread was it in?

won't presume to speak for all but I am ok with him getting deal but he is not earth shaking news..at least for now.

It was in the parting ways with Hoyer thread.

It was posted and discussed in the Hoyer and Texans split thread.
