Week 9 @ the Fish

[thunderkyss]

The ability to draft supremely talented guys at the top of each rd or win 3-4 meaningless games?

I want to address this again. If we were talking about the NBA Draft I’d lean more towards this line of thinking. There are only a handful of game changers in the NBA draft.

but in the NFL draft it’s not uncommon for the best player in the draft to be drafted outside the top 5 in every round

 

[thunderkyss]

When did you become optimistic about Mills? Lol The conversation I’ve seen earlier from you on Mills was very pessimistic.

I’m more optimistic than most

Agreed. Whether a draft pick pans out or not in the NFL has more to do with coaching and scheme than NBA or MLB.

Look how many top picks the Jags and Browns have ruined over the years. Those players were talented enough to be consensus top 10 type players coming into the draft. Sure some were busts… but I bet more would have been successful had they been picked up by the right team.

 

[TheRealJoker]

Texans spent a first on Tytus Howard

Seconds on Sua-Filo, Martin and Scharping.

I suspect they would have played better had they been allowed to play for Dante Scarneccia and the Pats rather than OB and Tim Kelly’s anti blocking scheme.

 

[JB]

Can someone drop me a link to stream the game today please. Cowboys are on Fox today in my area. Thank you

Any stream links so I can watch today's Dumpster Fire Bowl?

Tua is out. Brissett starts. Don’t know if that’s good or bad.

Gotta gut feeling Texans might pull one out today. We’ll see if that gut feeling is just gas or not.

According to NFL Network, Tua is the backup today

 

[thunderkyss]

Look how many top picks the Jags and Browns have ruined over the years.

not just them, but almost every team that drafts at the top year after year. The Jets, the Lions, the Dolphins.

It’s rare that a team breaks out of that cycle, but when they do (Rams, Chargers, Bills) it’s not the top draft pick that changes the fortunes of the franchise, but the franchise stacking good decision on top of good decision.

Of course, if I had to choose, I want the high draft pick & the good decisions. I’m just saying aiming at the highest pick possible is not a good decision.

If we end up with the #3 overall fine. If we end up with the 7th overall, fine.

 

[Mangler]

Good hit by Greenard. Let’s watch Tyrod save Tim Kelly’s arse now, and with that hurt our draft position, sigh…

 

[justmy2cents]

Agreed

Een if they were extremely well coached there probably wouldn't be more than 4-5 wins. I mean there was only 4 wins with Derrick at the helm and some think Derrick walks on water.

Aha .... I knew you were a bloody Highlander !

So with the current coaching staff, do you think they have the ability to install scheme and coach up marginal talent?

 

[austins23]

Can David Johnson go away please. He sucks

 

[Thorn]

What a great beginning.

 

[dream_team]

Dumb spot, led to a dumb playcall, led to a dumb throw

 

[TexansFan15]

We march it to the red zone and then…..

 

[justmy2cents]

Morrissey is got some "want to" in him .... hope it rubs off !

 

[Speedy]

Can David Johnson go away please. He sucks

Yeah, that was about as bad as it gets.

 

[Texansballer74]

That was a very bad play design on that interception. Only one receiver running a route.

 

[Number19]

Watching the State Farm commercial - Terry Bradshaw has cut 5 country albums!

 

[KoolAid Sipper]

That was a very bad play design on that interception. Only one receiver running a route.

There were others (covered too) but the play just STUNK plus there was pressure coming fast.

 

[dream_team]

That was a very bad play design on that interception. Only one receiver running a route.

And not even a play fake on 3rd & 1!?

 

[Texansballer74]

Can David Johnson go away please. He sucks

Yeah he missed that blocked badly. Almost got his quarterback killed

 

[Mangler]

Well, we can always count on our defense to keep us on track for the #1 overall pick.

 

[leebigeztx]

I thought Caserio said they get guys to get the job done. David Johnson is Esterbe guy, thats the only reason why he's on the team. He's terrible . He was terrible in Arizona thats why they were going to release him.

 

[gwallaia]

Ok Dolphins, you can go ahead and put the 2nd string in now.

 

[dream_team]

F the better draft position. Beat these fools please!

Well, this seems to be a colossal fail... anyone got a link that works?

 

[Mangler]

For what? What good does that do for the team’s future?

 

[Texansballer74]

Great pressure resulting into an interception. Good job defense

 

[dream_team]

For what? What good does that do for the team’s future?

A winning team is easier to rebuild than a losing team. Plain & simple. If there was a clear cut #1 overall QB prospect, though, I'd be thinking differently.

 

[gwallaia]

Well what do you know, a squirrel found a nut.

I disagree. You’re in luck though, Brissett doesn’t want to give up that #1 either!

 

[austins23]

This team is terrible

 

[Mangler]

Well what do you know, a squirrel found a nut.

O’Brien would have extended Murray after that pick! Damn, poor Tyrod just got leveled! SMH

 

[JB]

This team is terrible

Did you find a link?

 

[KoolAid Sipper]

For those that want to see more of Mills, Tyrod will probably be back on IR after this game

 

[powda]

Not a fumble.

 

[dream_team]

If that was Brady, it would easily be a roughing the passer.

 

[ghostlight]

OL is looking like we need a 1st round pick in 22

 

[thunderkyss]

OL is looking like we need a 1st round pick in 22

That wasn’t on the OL

 

[Earl34]

It appears not picking up DB blitzes is another feature of this B'OB/TK offense.

 

[whodknee]

OL is looking like we need a 1st round pick in 22

And 23

 

[Mangler]

That entire right side of the line is absolute garbage. Good offensive linemen coming out for this upcoming draft too. Just something to look forward to…

 

[TexansFan15]

OL is looking like we need a 1st round pick in 22

If we get to have 2-1st rounders I wouldn’t mind adding OL with one of them.

 

[JB]

I'm dying over here

 

[Mangler]

If that was Brady, it would easily be a roughing the passer.

Or Protected Mahomie.

 

[Texansballer74]

Come on butterfingers Conley.

 

[Mangler]

Bad drop by Conley! SMH

 

[Texansballer74]

The blitz is killing us

 

[powda]

They're going to keep blitzing until we beat it. Ridiculous so far. Ty's not going to make it through the 3rd at this rate.

 

[cdollaz]

Am I remembering things wrong, or do our TEs this year have a very disproportionate amount of penalties as compared to the rest of the team? It seems like they get 2 or 3 a week.
