Foster may have pulled something. He's on the field but not carrying the ball anymore.

Heading back out this morning. If there's anything you guys want me to find out for y'all, ask me on my Twitter. @StephStradley (I seem to remember a time where Texans Bill couldn't figure that thing out--seems to get it just fine now. :gamer:)

Here's yesterday's:

Texans training camp day 4: Best day yet
Click to expand...

My favorite part:

Hulk Wade happened after safety Torri Williams got an interception but was holding it too far from his body. Linebacker coach Reggie Herring was screaming “PUT THE BALL AWAY! PUT THE BALL AWAY! GOTTA WAIT FOR THE HALL OF FAME TO HOLD A BALL LIKE THAT!” Then Wade goes over to Williams who is still holding the ball, has the angry face on, and gives the ball a loud smack.

Mike meltzer on 610:

Kareem didn't look great. Has made some nice plays, but overall is struggling.

Gave up some plays in 1 on 1 drills. Gave up a slant route for a td right in front of his face.

He says reed and watts are flashing big time.

Joseph looked good in 1 on 1's.

Interviewing watts now.
 
Watts says he is getting used to playing over the guard. Playing a lot of 3 tech.

Likes the one gap system, gets to pin his ears back and go.


Blah, blah. . . Nothing else remotely significant.

Melba Toast thinks Meltzer is a little bland.

How many times did they say "soft"? This is important.
 
Rey said:
I think they are using code words now.

They said manning "baited" Matt into throwing a pick today.

Clearly Matt is soft.

There's also a bug going around. It's obvious that the Texans immune system is soft.

BTW I love Lawrence Vickers

Come to think off it watts did say he was going to hit the showers after the interview.

Soft?

And yeah vickers is electric.

Not saying I want pollard back, but could you imagine those two in the same locker room?
 
From numerous reports, KJ is still getting lit up in camp. It's early, but I just dont think this dude is ever gonna be worth a ****. :rake:

Be interesting to see what all the fans say about Kareem during open practices.

Speaking of which, if you guys are going and use twitter please post your handles here if you plan on tweeting stuff during practice.

I haven't missed a Camp yet, but I don't think it'd be wise for me to go this year. I don't want to take a chance on people bumping into my arm and crap. It sucks and really has me bummed out.
 
The best part today was during line drills. Antonio Smith was up and got his upper body too far forward on the rush. He did a beautiful face-plant in the grass.

Even better was Cody making fun of him afterward! :texflag:

Right after I blew out my shoulder the second time, I had to get on to a plane and fly home. I thought I was lucky that I got an aisle seat... until every person who walked down the aisle bumped it. And then the stewardess' nailed it with their cart.

That was a rough trip.

Take care of it, man.

Thanks, man. I'm used to always doing something and hardly ever stay still. It blows and I haven't even gotten to the rehab stage yet. Eh, at least the pain isn't as bad as the past couple. That's a good thing because I hate pain pills and weened off of them within 2 days after the surgery.

Anyone want some hydrocodone? Ha

Was Andre practicing today? If not, who was he going against?
 
Anyone have two extra tickets to Sunday's practice? I didn't get a chance to print any and now it says they are sold out. I would appreciate it.
 
Rey said:
Seriously?

I've gone a couple times and they didn't even ask for the ticket.
Click to expand...

Yeah, I know that usually people with extras will often leave them at the gate, but I was hoping to have some in hand so I wouldn't have to rely on that.
 
They will ask for tickets for open practices, not closed. I think today was the last closed practice.

Ive gone to open practices for the past nine years, and they have always ask for a ticket. good thing to have one with ya if you want to get in.

I think it depends what time you go. I've ha my ticket with me and bad then just waive me in. I've also gone and have had them take the ticket. Past few camps I have gotten there around the time they started doing team stuff.

Some good ones in this set.

Is there any merit to the rumor of Foster reporting to camp overweight and out of shape? Apparently my dad heard it on 610 but i've seen nothing to back that. And that's also apparently according to McLame so i think i've answered my own question.

In the pictures I've seen he looks like he's in excellent shape.

Can't see that guy showing up out if shape in the situation he is in.
 
How do people gain access to these closed practices? I thought fans were only allowed to the open ones...

You the same thing came up a few weeks ago by LZ on his morning show. He started off talking about how he thought that all the celebrity and interviews with Foster has taken away from his workout schedule.

Ironically, the same day, when asked by LZ to someone who followed him around for a few days and said he was in great shape.

It wouldn't surprise me to see Foster take a couple games to get into his normal shape.
 
A good person to follow on twitter:

BigRon281
@BenTateRB is NOT a 3rd/4th stringer w/ how he looks this AM. He's been workin'. Still nasty cuts for a 220+ lb. back. He's wreckin #2/3's.

@BigRon281

If we are to believe fan tweets from TC:

I'm gonna go out on a limb a bit here: They're not facing equal comp, but on feet alone Sherrick McManis is a better outside CB than Kareem.

Somewhat surprising but then again. . . not really :toropalm:

Both Steph (TexansChick) and AJ mentioned BigRon in tweets earlier today, and recommended following him.
I'll take that as a good endorsement that BigRon is a quality source of info.
 
In Fort Worth this weekend... Hoping for an update from anyone out there! I promise to take some videos and post some pics on Tuesday.
