There is a Tommy Alverson song (Purty Boys) with a line that says that (the lines in our faces are where the story’s told”. With that I’d like to see Pitts and his deadpan demeanor in a commercial. Could have fun with that one.That's because Merci's dead money is crazy high if cut..of course he could be gone {like Papa John hisself} in a trade but the pizza company has him for a season as his remaining contract years voided...
Seems like after Hop and DW they would be a bit smarter on whom they pay to rep their company. Why not Justin Reid and Omenihu?
Really I don’t give a **** what they call it as long as they clean up last years mess. Call it Charmin for all I care.Gentlemen calm down lol that's what Nick said months ago. They're retooling

There is a survey about what fans spend at NFL stadiums. Considering the on-field product. Anyone surprised by our ranking?

I forgot gear. Updated my post. Without Watt and Watson, that number might be significantly less next year.Not surprised by food and alcohol. The food is good, so might as well enjoy. Surprised by merchandise. #1 by a mile.
I’m surprised and extremely disappointed. how in the hell did we fall to #4 on in-stadium alcoholic beverages?There is a survey about what fans spend at NFL stadiums. Considering the on-field product. Anyone surprised by our ranking?

New Corner rasul Douglas may get us closer to that ranking of number 17. 60 tackles with one for loss with 9 passes defended is pretty good if report is true.Yikes! If our corners as is are 17th in NFL, I will have to change my underwear.

,Were you able to verify that beyond the unauthorized source? I have not been able to. I really like what he brings to the team. 60 combined tackles and nine passes defended.

The operative word you mentioned is “serviceable”. That’s who the Texans are right now, until they can start filling out their roster with good, young talent (the Texans are currently one of the oldest teams in the league when it comes to the age of their roster). Douglas is another one of those veterans that Caserio signed to a one year contract.I feel a lot better this week about the secondary with the additions of Hollman and Douglas than I did before. Hollman is a plus height/weight/athleticism guy. Should excel on ST and be able to play on defense in a pinch.
Douglas is a serviceable #2 CB in Lovie’s D. Between Roby, Mitchell, King and Douglas we just may have a CB room that is solid this season!
If Reid can stay healthy and Lonnie Johnson can successfully transition to safety then the secondary will be able to produce some turnovers and not be a complete doormat to opposing teams this season.
Getting interested in the Lovie Smith defense filled with bluecollar players with chips on their shoulder!
I liked Douglas coming out of college. A ballhawk who wasn't afraid of supporting against the run. But, I have to wonder if his lack of speed might push Douglas to Safety? Texans CB coach Dino Vasso coached Douglas for 3 years in Philly, so he should have a good idea how best to implement his abilities.Douglas is a serviceable #2 CB in Lovie’s D.

The Texans are treading water this year.
While new Texans general manager Nick Caserio seems to be striving to take one step forward every day, based on The Athletic’s poll, it sure seems that Jack (“Grima Wormtongue”) Easterby and “Tommy Boy” are still busy taking two steps back.

Texans brought in LB Tahir Whitehead for a workout.
Texans worked out veteran LB Tahir Whitehead
Tahir Whitehead got a look from the Texans earlier this week.www.google.com
A player with history starting at each of the 3 LB positions. Left without a deal, not a player you want starting for you but a 9 year vet who has been a starter majority of career.
Could be Caserio just kicking tires on a vet. But bringing in a LB for a workout that isn’t a ST specialist tells me one of our starting LBs may be acquired at final cutdown.
With the extra cap space would be interesting if Texans traded for Jaylon Smith, listed by Rosenthal as a trade candidate:
lol This is from Bleacher Report:
"In a survey conducted by The Athletic's Ben Standig, one anonymous agent said "a lot of league folks" have compared McNair to the movie Tommy Boy.
The comment came in a poll in which 33 NFL-certified agents voted on a series of topics. Houston received the most votes (11) when asked which team had the worst offseason. No other team received more than three votes."

Exactly. And I'm certain Tommy Callahan finished college (7 years) faster than Kyle did.Hey don't insult Tommy like that.. He was a American hero who saved a entire town (Sandusky Ohio).
I don't know about any particular number, but King and Mitchell are improvements over what the Texans got last year.Yikes! If our corners as is are 17th in NFL, I will have to change my underwear.
Charmin has already been taken as it is the name of our defensive back corps.Really I don’t give a **** what they call it as long as they clean up last years mess. Call it Charmin for all I care.
A lot of reason to bash Mcnair, but an agent’s take is not the best one. The Texans gave out a lot of “lowball” deals this free agency. Gone is the GM OB gravy train that probably had an effect on a few agents polled.
Agents understand why the Texans (with very little cap room) gave out smaller deals. Actually, they spent more $$$ than many expected by renegotiating previous contracts. They voted the Texans offseason as the worst because it was the worst. No one person owns that. It was a group effort that took years in the making. But it has been hands down the worst.The Texans gave out a lot of “lowball” deals this free agency.
Nobody said he was playing Madden.Dude's reputation about being in an office without furniture at NRG playing Madden is what it is.
He picked Luigi, right?Nobody said he was playing Madden.
I imagined he was playing Mario Kart.

When is the US team having their next water polo tryouts? With the their injuries at TE, the Saints might still be interested.Lol so much for Warring becoming a all pro TE with the Patriots.
Wish they would have shopped him, but I’m guessing they did. He’s fragile.When is the US team having their next water polo tryouts? With the their injuries at TE, the Saints might still be interested.
I have to disagree with that. The Texans have some guys that have flashed potential. But those were 3 solid, proven vets. The 2021 defense can’t come close to that expansion defense. They were special.But plenty of solid Jamie Sharper, Seth Payne, Marcus Coleman types.

No. Not close. Roby has been a head case and has poor ball skills. O'Brien overpaid Cunningham, who has mediocre LB instincts. Jenkins? Kirksey? Look at the contracts they signed. That's what the league thinks of them.I’d put Roby, Cunningham and Jordan Jenkins in their same category off the top of my head. Kirksey too if he stays healthy.

The 2002 Texans defense didn't have talent across the board. But, they had 5-6 excellent to very good defenders. Could have been a playoff defense had they not been saddled with an expansion offense. There's absolutely no comparison between the 2 defenses.
Historically, I would put this years defense over only 3 past Texans defenses. The 2005 unit, where Walker and Coleman were on their last legs, and the 1st round rookies (Robinson & Babin) were still finding their way. The 2010 defense, which had much more talent but were the worst coached unit on any side of the ball in Texans history. And last year's defense. If and only if Hargreaves never plays.
I'm really excited to see Kirksey & Cunningham with better coaching
don’t forget the big unknown…seems many of these players on D are getting a chance to play their natural positions in a scheme that respects their speed and athleticism.Much more LB friendly scheme fit for all of the LBs. I think if Lopez is a hit and can be the Booger Mcfarland tying up blockers they will really play to their potential.
