Crutches are seldom used post 4-6 weeks post surgery. Depending on the doc, a knee brace is used but unlocked for normal activity between 7 and 10 weeks. After that, the brace if worn is usually locked only for strenuous knee/thigh exercises.

These “pass game/run game” coordinator titles are getting a bit excessive. Slowik still has not held a position coach job. Imo he needs to take a step back and work as a position coach for a year to advance as a coach.Slowik to Miami
Bobby Slowik Lands Chance to Revive Career After Texans Firing
The Houston Texans shockingly fired offensive coordinator Bobby Slowik after losing to the Kansas City Chiefs in the divisional round of the playoffs. After thhouseofhouston.com
What is the difference between what he’s doing now and what he did in San Fran? How is he going to learn how to fix an OL without coaching a position and teaching how that position (EX: Tight ends) works with the OL?
Cause he's not a coach as much as a smart mind... another problem
He'll be fine, he just needs to have the weapons he didn't have here in Houston to work with. I expect the Dolphins to have an explosive passing game if Tua stays healthy. No team needs to find a backup QB more than the Dolphins do.

Cypress Texans? Shenandoah Texans?
Seriously though, when HEB comes to town and builds 70 stores, is public money used to do that? I'll never understand why we allow multi-billionaire owners to build their stores (stadiums) on public money so that they can keep on making billions while a large percentage of the public that pays for their playpens can't afford to even step inside of it.

Which Texans contracts could be restructured to make room for OL additions?
The Danielle Hunter and Nico Collins deals that were signed last offseason are built to be reworked, and simple restructures of those contracts could net the Texans nearly $22 million in cap space. And if they wanted to, they could get more than $10 million by restructuring Tytus Howard's deal, too, and nearly as much if they wanted to do a restructure of Laremy Tunsil's contract.
Those players represent the four biggest 2025 cap numbers on the team, so they're the easy targets for restructures that convert salary into signing bonus and buy Houston some cap room. They also could clear a bit with the expected extension for star cornerback Derek Stingley Jr.

The McNair’s and Mr Tomon should understand one thing before trying to get a new stadium out of Houstonians….get to an AFCCG and Super Bowl in the books first, then we can talk.
NRG is just fine. It’s hosted low to mid tier NFL team and a Super Bowl since inception. A new stadium won’t make more and/or new fans…..a winner would take care of that and fill NRG to capacity.

Recently I increased my original post of $20 million to almost 30 or more million. That was in response to a post I believe by CloakNNNdagger talking about future cap increase that should explode due to NFL's investigation of viewership and advertising.

Almost every game for me even the ones we lost had some moments of Hope and excitement. I know I don't sit around our outdoor kitchen Pavilion talking about the clerks stocking the shelves and the cashiers. I have complained about the local Deli workers at Kroger with my neighbors.
The NFL collects hundreds of millions of dollars annually in advertising and they wouldn't be doing that unless fans were excited and watching the game. Look I get no one wants to give billionaires money to put their play toy in.
That's just the way these things go.

And just imagine how much more it will go up when the NFL has the majority of its games on streaming platforms. Netflix is fixing to take over the Sunday early game package I bet. I heard it or read about it somewhere. If you think about it, the NFL gives two craps about the 12 noon games. Very rare is Nantz/Romo and Brady/Burkholdt ever on the noon games.
The NFL doesn't give a crap about its American fans.The Chargers have just been designated as a “home team” for the game in Brazil this September. We are scheduled to go to SoFi this year! Hope we don’t get the Brazil game
They're all about the money.
Hey Cal, not a dime of taxpayer money should go to build you a new playpen. If you want to build your own playpen then be my guest. Otherwise dont let the door hit you in the butt on your way out of town.
The McNair's have made billions off of this city/county and have delivered very little for the money they've made off of the fans. Time to give them the Bud treatment.

Geez. Thought you were being facetious at first, but if you're being serious, and I get your point, but that's part of the problem. Fans have elevated sports so much that they have no problem giving these billionaires anything they ask for just so they can "feel good". Really? And again, there's a shit ton of tax paying people that can't even afford to walk into an NFL stadium even after surrendering their tax dollars to these billionaires to build a playpen for them. Not to mention those being taxed for it that don't even care about sports. That has just always seemed fucked up to me. And you think those billionaires give a flying rat's ass if average Joe can come in or not? Hell no. Hell, above average Jameson can barely make it work. I had to drop my season tickets after 18 years because they simply priced me out. No more. I'm still a fan, watch every week, but I haven't given them a single dime since. And they don't care because there's a 50 mile long line of suckers behind me.
And if these sports owners up and leave because they can't bilk taxpayers into giving them a new billion dollar playpen that nobody can afford to go to, then so be it. That's just the way these things go.
And for the record, yeah, I'm pretty damned stoked when my grocery store shelves are stocked, particularly with the item(s) I was specifically there to get .... unlike my last visit. And you get a nice, friendly cashier who at least acts like they're happy I stopped in, and all is good. Go to a Texans game and you're treated like a criminal getting in with all of the "security" bullshit, then they're in your face to get you out the second the clock hits 0:00.

I agree with most of your post except the profanity. I just do not want to give up local NFL team for 5 years. I realize that you may be okay with that. I wonder how much the average Houston taxpayer actually pays for a new stadium in Houston?
Speedy
Former Yeller Dweller
That's a good question. I heard once years ago that something we built was only getting taxes from hotel stays or car rentals or something like that. So I don't know. It should also be noted though that wherever the tax money is coming from, for NRG at least, that isn't going to be paid off for a very long time. And now they are going to want us to pony up for a new multi-billion dollar complex that won't be paid off until Halley's Comet has swung around 2 more times?
As far as a team leaving or not, I'm just getting too old too care about that anymore. Like I said before, they don't really care about the average fan, yet the average fan would give their left nut for them. That's just dumb. They only care about adding to their billions and they'll go wherever they can get it. Plain and simple. Screw the city, screw the fans, screw loyalty. If they leave because they don't want to tap into their billions and can't get average fan to pay, then go. The sun will rise tomorrow and the next day and so on
We're just so whacked in our fandoms that we actually justify paying to build billionaires things so those billionaires can make billions more even if we can't afford to step into the billion dollar palaces we built for them. That's dumb too.

Did you not live in Houston in the 90's? Houston was the litmus test for standing up to an NFL owner who wants a new stadium. And we lost. And we would probably lose again if push comes to shove.

Let 'em go. It's ironical that the Texans are pretty much in the same situation that the Oilers were in. Got an up-and-coming QB and a team with a chance after years of suckage. Since the Oilers left Houston I've become a much broader NFL fan rather than a hometown junkie.

I am ok with a bunch of public money with one provision. Lower ticket prices so that someone can buy a ticket to the top of the upper deck for a 10 spot. And make your hot dogs a buck. And one section in the lower bowl is reserved for free entry. These seats are on a lottery system, designed for fans that could never afford to go to a game.

Is this the part of the season where we start different threads to talk about the same thing ad nauseam?
Or is this part of the season where we find new ways to complain about something old that we have already complained about?

Of course I was here. And that was a special situation where everyone hated Bud for threatening to leave if they didn’t rip out the old scoreboard at the Dome. Then just a few short years after that he’s threatening to leave again if he doesn’t get a new stadium. Then there was the fact the mayor decided to get into a cage match with Bud and Lanier ended up winning.
But other than that, and maybe St. Louis, San Diego, Oakland, I mean there aren’t many instances where cities are saying “nah”. And taxpayers are still funding a good portion of EVERY stadium being built in this country, including NRG and Daikin Park. Hell, we still might be paying for the Astrodome renovations from the late 80’s.
So if Houston says no again and the McNairs decided to pack up and leave, oh well. Don’t know where they could go that would build them what they want unless it’s overseas, but good luck.
Did we lose?
TexansBull

My question is where could the McNairs go and have the same type of market they have here to buy tickets and merchandise? Or all that they make for having a NFL team in Houston? I don’t think San Diego or St.Louis is as good a market as Houston. Oakland? Eww.
And if they moved to Austin/San Antonio that would be the ultimate FU to Houston. I would think that. I wouldn’t want to root for them.
Sure paying billion dollars for a new stadium cuts into your profit margins, but maybe don’t expect a new one every 25 years?
And then think about the building costs and interest rate costs now compared to 25 years ago.
Sheesh.
Pay for the renovations.
I didn't know that season actually ever ended
