Voice of the Fan, first day of Training Camp

What? No mention of old pals he hasn't seen in awhile....or how about some news about a friend who's having a baby?

Keith at HPF, TexansChick, and AJ are all producing the type of coverage and analysis that big-name writers are failing to provide.

Thanks, AJ. Another great coverage of the action from someone who really loves Texans football. Thanks, man.

How the Chronicle bosses can live with themselves is BEYOND me. :hides:
 
Real nice piece of writing aj. Felt as though I was there. I really like this part, and can picture this in my mind...

Peek showed his intensity and explosiveness during the hangman, once leaving “Caveman” Eric Winston wondering what happened as Peek spun by him and ripped the dummy off the sled.

Gotta feeling 'bout these Texans!:cool:
 
Thanks for the kind words. Next blog post will be about training camp, but mostly a collection of stuff because there's not much to add to the fine things already done.

Well, and also, because of the way I submit things to the Chronicle, there is usually a frustrating delay from the time I write something until the time it is posted, so the blog posts are more likely to be more focused on analysis and data collection, then providing straight up news.

As for Coach Bob, he is the assistant coach that I haven't met that I would most like to meet.
 
"Friday’s high of 94 degrees was right on the norm for this time of the year, so for those Texans players from Portland, Maine; Caldwell, Idaho; and Gillette Wyo., welcome to Houston!
Actually, I don’t think it really matters where you’re from, since I saw equal opportunity slog and sweat among veterans of the Big Sky and SEC on Friday morning’s first installment of training camp at the Texans’ practice facility. "
*****************
I dunno, but I think it matters. I remember getting off work one day in July
many years ago when I was working in Boise, Id. and it was 106 degrees ! But I also remember thinking it was not as bad as 95 degrees in Houston.
When they say its a "dry heat", it really makes a difference.
*****************
"Johnson getting stonewalled by rookie free agent tackle Mike Brisiel during the hangman was somewhat troubling, but coach Kubiak has made no secret of the fact that Travis needs to step it up during this camp. "
*****************
How long before TJ picks a fight with the undrafted rookie FA OLineman ?
But this year, the rook FA may not be the one that gets cut.

Just to add, it is my understanding that TJ dropped the weight that they wanted him to drop. Don't know if that means anything in the big scheme of things other than he is taking the challenge of the coaches seriously.

It is the age old arguement, but I am in your camp. Having grown up in Las Vegas and Austin. I will take the dry heat anyday for outdoor activity.

I like supporting local folks. Especially when they make products as fine as St. Arnold does. I appreciate fine food and beverages--I have a refrigerator that mostly has things of the liquid variety in it. Water, Milk,Sodas, Coors Lite, various St. Arnold products, non-alcoholic beers and wine. I like making sure I have the right beverage to go with food:

Asian food - beer
Pizza - diet coke
Mexican food - diet coke
fancy food - wine
Texas summer - lots o water

I mostly drink tap water but I find that I like bottled water when I am running errands or else I just don't think to drink enough.

The next blog post will be up this afternoon--the web people are out until later. It's a Day 1 recap--though admittedly this piece is mostly aimed for Chronic online readers who may not be MB types.

My 2006 Texans Virtual Tailgate ain't blue lot worthy though.
 
Great column, aj! I appreciate the insight you bring to us.

I definitely sounds like a new era in Texansland. :texflag:
 
Hey, the FanBlog post is up earlier than I was told.

Day 1: Texans Training Camp

Love to have any additional comments on the post. I've gotten a lot of emails from folks that say that they have limited internet access for various reasons and rely a lot on the blog to keep them up with the skinny.
 
TC I think it is a nice take on what was going on, would be interesting to see your observations if you were closer to the action and could actually here alot of what was being said.

There is no doubt. I'd love to write those observations.

Rub. It. In.

I've been closer to the action before, but on my own nickle.

I do not get media access because I am not media.

Media means that you are supposed to have the facade of neutrality and write stuff that goes on paper or goes over the airwaves.

I'm just trying the best I can with the resources I have.

I would love to see that kind of emotion out of TJ. Right now there's no emotion, no nothing. He's lifeless, sluggish and appears about as unmotivated as any first rounder I've ever seen.

Yes he is.

What makes me wonder about the guy is that last year, he had an entirely different personality ... or at least a different persona that was visible to fans and media. It appears he's fighting as many mental battles as he is physical ones.

aye yi yi, not a good sign at all. Is there a chance that he might not make the squad? He's showing the exact opposite attitude that you'd want from a player, especially this early in the season. I'd be a little surprised if Kubiak keeps him if TJ doesn't pick it up.
 
In all seriousness, TJ sounds like he's having a problem with his medication.
******
"He returned to the football field in 2004 with renewed vigor. He was placed on medication prior to 2004 to help him battle attention deficit disorder and his performance drastically improved.
Johnson garnered ESPN All-America honors and was named to the All-Atlantic Coast Conference team, as he started all year at left defensive tackle, serving as defensive captain. He led a unit that led the nation in rushing defense, allowing only 69 yards per game during the regular season."

Weaver, Robaire, and Payne are clearly our top three DTs. Travis is still relatively cheap -- he just needs a good swift kick in the butt or an IV of adrenaline or somthing.

I was pointing him out at TC today to the wife. When I told her that he's our first-rounder from LAST year, she looked at me like I was pulling her leg. :rolleyes:

You can definitely see the missing "poundage", but listless is the best choice for his on field combativeness right now.

Hmmm.

I was told 20 pounds.
 
If he's already lost 20, he was in worse shape than I thought. I fear it's not just about the weight with TJ.

How about Malone? I liked what little I got to see of him last year. What kind of chance does he have of making the final roster? Believe me, any information on any of the players is appreciated by all of us out-of-towners.
 
I'll make it a point to watch big Alfred tomorrow. Quite honestly, I haven't paid much attention to #97 the last two days.

Thanks aj. Honestly, I like to hear about all of the players. I'm even curious about the guys that really don't have a shot at making the squad. I've been too long without football, so ANY and ALL news is GREATLY APPRECIATED.
 
Ok then.....One thing I forgot to mention from yesterday was the "vocal leader" of the LB corps, none other than Wali Rainer.

When the team splits into unit drills, LB Coach Johnny Holland turns to Rainer and tells him to "get 'em going Wali." Ranier then leads the LBs in their 'fire up circle' and the 'punch and pursue' drill which is their first warmup as a group.

Wali is a couple years junior to Cowart but he's much more extroverted and he's become the defacto leader, at least the vocal leader, of the LB corps with Wong out. I like his enthusiasm, his mouth is always running, but he's still playing behind Cowart.

Mouth always running. Leader.

There is hero number 1. 11 more and I got a dozen.

O wait... they were together in Detroit. So that would explain why Holland counts on Wali

With apologies as someone who was not out there today and didn't really have the angle to watch him to close yesterday, how can you tell that he is lifeless, sluggish and unmotivated?

I mean, they stand a bit. Then they have their reps. It just seems to me that if you are looking at anyone on the field, and you are looking for bad stuff, it might be easy to project something that is not there.

I'm not saying you aren't right, I'm just saying that I've seen practices up close before, and don't see a whole lot of rah rah jumping up and down or otherwise excitable stuff by anyone. It is usually the exception and not the rule.

In other words, personally, I don't like saying stuff about peeps unless it is something easily observable and not subject to different interpretation.

I have a teenager who's nearing the end of summer vacation so I'm an expert on lifeless, sluggish and unmotivated. I also have a Pomeranian just to maintain balance in my life.

If I hadn't watched TJ last year and seen a different person, I wouldn't be making these observations. Something's different this year. The way he carries himself, the lack of emotion on his face, getting stood up repeatedly by guys like Mike Brisiel, everything. The way he reacts - or doesn't react - when he's getting his butt chewed on. Robaire is a robot in practice too, and often times looks like he's just going through the motions, especially in individual unit drills, but he was always like that. TJ seems to be having a tough time of it right now and hopefully he can pull himself out of it. But then, maybe I'm just imagining it all...

I'm not 'looking for' bad stuff and have no reason to dog TJ. I liked the guy last year. He was a great interview, always cracking jokes, smiling... .....I looked forward to the switch to the 4-3 because I thought he would be a player who would most greatly benefit from it. The only reason I'm making the observation is because it's there and something is obviously diffferent from last year. If it wasn't there I probably wouldn't be talking about it, nor would anyone else, including the Head Coach. I'm making these observations anywhere from 6 - 30 feet away or so with last year as a datum. Hopefully the switch will flip because the last thing I want is for another high round draft pick to fail.

I could light some potpourri and throw a few rose petals on the floor in here, I guess, and just go Yay Texans about everything, but when your first round pick from a year ago comes in heavy, gets hurt and then sulks - I find that a little unsettling. He's nowhere close to being one of our top three defensive tackles at the moment and if you don't think that's easily observable you're not watching close enough.

Again, hopefully something clicks and it turns around for him. It is only the second day of training camp after all.

OOoo man. You poor suffering .... fella. That's a horrible dog. ( Shanghai Knights )

Daschund or Jack Russell. That's the better pickings. You heard it first here.
 
Pomeranians are great football dogs. They fly truer through the uprights and give good hang time when punting.

I just wanted to know what the evidence of sulking is. All the written words are out of camp are that TJ has taken the challenge and has been working really hard coming off of his calf injury. And that they were going to ease him back into things.

Here's an example from Kubiak:
“I’ve been very impressed with Travis. You don’t want to put the cart before the horse. I’ll tell you all like I told him, ‘Travis, it’s time to be a big-time player on this team, and there isn’t another year of growing. Now is the time.’ He comes out and misses time during the offseason due to injury, which is not his fault. A lot of players can relax a little bit when that happens. We’ve challenged him in front of the football team before we took our summer break that he had more to do than anyone else on this team, and he stayed here and he did it.”
Click to expand...

So what you are saying seems contrary to what is being said by coach. It wouldn't be the first time that misinformation has come out of the front office, but they have been generally pretty straightforward in their comments this year.

I just was wondering what the evidence of sulking was. It just seems like a lot to infer from some poor drills and body language.

I'm not saying you should say Yay Texans about everyone, but I'm thinking you want to have a fairly high threshold before you say anything real negative about someone based on fairly inconclusive evidence that at least is opposite of the things Kubiak is saying publicly. In other words, say what you said about him looking poor in drills, but unless you have something really tangible to base other negative observations on, it's voodoo.

I like gossip, but its easier to listen to if when the evidence behind it is based on stuff. I was just asking what exact things happened that you observed that made you draw the conclusion that he was unmotivated. You know, just wondering.

I'm just bringing this up because otherwise I think some people will just accept your TJ observation as something that's more likely true than not without questioning where that observation came from.

Thanks for sharing tho. :cool:
 
Well I tried to explain...... oh well...

Using your logic, then maybe you shouldn't believe what I said about Wali Rainer being a leader of the LB corps either, or Chris Taylor being a guy to keep your eyes on, or Babin seeming to have more confidence, or Charles Spencer having the potential to be a very good lineman, etc., etc., etc., because I'm using the same set of eyes and the same mental process and experience base for all of that, so all that must be discounted as gossip too I guess. Maybe I should have the Texans change the name of my column to AJ's Gossip Column. Thanks for the rousing compliment. <insert wink thingy here>

As long as your quoting the Chronicle here's another one from yesterday's Lopez column - written in the context that TJ is still having to be challenged by his head coach and defensive coordinator.

Defensive coordinator Richard Smith told Johnson before Friday's workout, echoing Kubiak's words, "No one's giving you a spot on this team."
Click to expand...

When the head coach has to call out a young player publicly twice in the media.... and the D-coord is doing it as he's walking out on the field for his first practice, that tells me the usual methods inside the locker room aren't working. That might tell me that Travis hasn't established himself as a leader or role model who is self motivated. Maybe the two-by-four between the eyes is what he needs.

I'm entitled to my opinion about TJ based on what I've seen, and you are entitled to question how I form my opinions. I'm sorry but I am not a sunshine pumper 24/7. Maybe 12/5 ....

Who knows, maybe by the end of preseason I will write something to the effect that everything with TJ is peachy keen and he obviously accepted the challenge like a man and will be a leader on the defense for years to come. I hope TJ makes a big fat liar out of me.

It's way too early for that however. I still see him as a work in progress who needs to be pushed (as do his coaches obviously) which is a shame for a first round pick entering his second season.

Don't feel like the Lone Ranger AJ, unlike you I've only been to the Friday AM practice but I watched him getting his reps too & it seemed quite the same for me ... really distressing considering we passed DJ to get to him. God only knows what our D would be capable of with our current backers AND DJ instead of 'Stonewalled Johnson'.

Yeah, everything is speculation.

When you speculate about good stuff, you aren't hurting anyone by what you are saying. You aren't saying something damaging people's reputations. It's just fan blather like everything else here. The more of that speculation based on reportable, observable stuff instead of spider sense--how catches were happening or whatever, it makes the speculation a little less blathery.

When the head coach has to call out a young player publicly twice in the media.... and the D-coord is doing it as he's walking out on the field for his first practice, that tells me the usual methods inside the locker room aren't working. That might tell me that Travis hasn't established himself as a leader or role model who is self motivated. Maybe the two-by-four between the eyes is what he needs.

I am certainly not asking you to pump sunshine, but in my opinion, it is irresponsible to say stuff in a public forum negative about someone's reputation unless it is based on something pretty durned tangible.

So, yeah, mentioning how TJ looked beat in drills, that's perfectly fine and is the sort of stuff definitely worth mentioning. You have anything else tangible to talk about of why you think something looks that way, say what those things are.

I was just asking you what your opinion was based on, and you didn't want to say other than to say he looks different than last year. I was just wondering if you might be imagining things given the stuff that we do know factually (coaches pushing him), or if you were seeing actual stuff other than TJ looked bad in drills.

I'm not trying to dog you in particular--just always questioning why anyone is making the opinions they are making. Whether it is reporters or otherwise.

There is so much good info on MBs, but there is a lot of stuff where people make opinions on stuff and you can never figure out where that came from.

I still see him as a work in progress who needs to be pushed (as do his coaches obviously) which is a shame for a first round pick entering his second season.

Agreed.
 
Hopefully TJ picks it up. He could be very valuable to that d-line. Hopeful Kubiak can light a fire under his ***.
 
Hey TC, this really isn't any of my business, but I thought I'd comment none the less. I've been reading the message boards for the last 5 years, and although I don't post very often, I do know a liitle about how certain people post. In this case, aj always tells it like he sees it. He doesn't pull any punches, and he doesn't throw any where he doesn't think they belong. He simply states his opinion, and lets you know just that, that it is his opinion. If he later sees that his opinion was wrong, he will let you and everyone know that he was wrong. I know some people will take everything he says as gospel, but at least give the rest of us credit for being able to think for ourselves and draw our own conclusions.

I know I speak for all of the out-of-towners when I say this...we are very appreciative for everything that you, aj, coachc, terek, and everyone else, write about the Texans. We are all grateful to Bullpenphotos for bringing us the images from training camp and the OTA's. I know I personally, take every bit of information I gather from the posters here and from everywhere else, and form my own opinion. I know my what I read isn't always right, but I still read it, and enjoy it for what it is worth.

I guess the short version of what I am trying to say is, just because you may not agree with what someone posts, don't berate them for it. Simply take what you want from it, just like everyone else will, and leave it at that.

-so if it's so irresponsible to do this, why do you question aj's reputation in this public forum without anything tangible to hang it on?

aj gives informed opinions and analysis. Key word there is INFORMED. He has as much right to his opinion as you do yours, even when that opinion is something negative about a current player. for some of us out of towners those opinions and analysis are very important and keep us somewhat linked to a process that we can not personally attend ourselves. I am very thankfull for aj's perspective. There are actually a few writers/MB members who can watch a football team and make INFORMED opinions on them. aj, Keith at HPF, Vinny, cak, Ses, come to mind immediately. Those people have been around the boards a very long time, and around NFL football even longer, and have proven themselves to be able to make these kinds of observations and pass them along to others fairly and reliably.

give some credit to the rest of the board for being intelligent enough to understand that they are still observations and opinions though.

TJ is crazy wearing long sleeves , that wouldd make anyone sluggish . If we were in a low humidity climate then wearing long sleaves would cool you off once you were saturated with sweat . This would happen because the sweat would evaporate cooling you down . Being that its 90% humidity ... he might as well be wearing saran wrap .

Whatever TC.

While I'm not a utopian dreamer, I am a football fan - have been for a good while - and I'm going to continue to watch football and football players, and talk about football and football players, like football fans do. I'm not going to wait for the quote sheets to be handed out by media relations before I say and write what I feel, what I see, and what I sense.

The only thing I'd like to ask is that you exercise equal opportunity criticism of fans on this message board who dare to say anything negative about the Texans, even if it might be - god forbid - speculative.

I'd like you to PM me if you have a problem with what I post so we can handle this offline and not continue to waste megabytes of space, and waste people's time on things that aren't related to important stuff like training camp news, etc.
