I'll admit I haven't paid much attention but why won't anyone hire him?

Thanks for your support!
Who's worth keeping on a multi-year deal on this Texans roster?
- Thread starter 76Texan
- Start date
Nobody knows. Hopefully he'll get hired this offseason & there will be one more thing I am wrong about

The reason the media is making a big deal about Bieniemy not getting a HC job is only because he’s black.
Who's the successful white assistant coach that is continually passed over for HC jobs? "The media" makes a big deal about it is because not hiring blacks as HCs is still a thing in the NFL.
I know he's on COVID protocol, bit I got to thinking, I wouldn't mind Terrence Mitchell being here on a 3 or 4 year deal.
Mitchell is 29. He's allowed a 100 Passer rating and has missed 7 tackles. And still has one more year and $3 million left on his contract.
I think he's more likely to get cut than extended.
Eberflus, Martindale. Pees, Barry, Daboll etc...
BTW, I would take Leftwich or Bowles over Bienemy.
When will it not be a thing?

That looks like 4 years, $54M to me.
Sorry, still used to the old crew we had here.
Then again, one piece of that crew is still here.

Can you shut the hell up with your 100% facts? The NFL is ran by a bunch of white, racist, poo poo heads! End of story!
When coaching staffs and front offices look more like the product on the field.
What about Conley & Dorsett? If we’re going to focus on the trenches, I wouldn’t mind these guys coming back on the cheap

Both guys look like they should be good players, I guess it’s consistency that has let them down.

If the Jags get Leftwich as HC and he gets Lawrence developing plus has another 1.1 then the Jags are again going look like a threat to be great all off season.
Dont worry, the Jags have a long ways to go.
This OL needs a complete overhaul. Howard and Sharping are absolute garbage. Tunsil is an over paid prima donna. He has no desire to run block. They’re all soft and all should be shipped out of here as fast as possible. This team will not get better until it has OL that can run block.
The OL should get the most attention this off season IMO. No QB no matter where they’re drafted is going to develop behind these *******. Fortunately, This draft is loaded with maulers. Hopefully our GM is smart enough to recognize this and drafts multiple OL and brings in one or two seasoned vets with nasty attitudes. Britt is the only OL on this team with the right attitude.
Our logo is a freaking bull for gods sake. It’s time to build an identity. Build a nasty OL that Can actually move people off the LOS. Then get a RB that can move a pile. That’s how you start a successful rebuild.

Theoretically the Jags should have a shorter rebuild process (in terms of time) than the Texans. However they are the Jags and you can depend on them to be bad, just like you can the Texans.
Depends on who you think is going to have the better QB at the end of the rebuild.
Lawrence is far from a sure thing. I think he will end up as an avg to slightly above avg QB.

Cloaknnndagger just posted about a Texans CB who hasn't been on my radar, Tavierre Thomas. Seems he has the lowest passer rating in the NFL for his position as a slot CB.
I did post in his thread that his previous plays were nothing to write home about, but he didn't look bad and have potential.
That was most positive than anybody else on the board had to say about him.
This Texans D is Helter skelter with some success at getting pressure and turnovers, but the rushing D has been pretty bad.
Then when the opponent get ahead, some of them slowed down or started playing their backups.
As a principle, in this defense, the slot CB is not exposed to explosive plays so Thomas wasn't put on an island.
I forgot to put Thomas on that list.
Absolute steal by Caserio.
Hopefully Caserio can find 3-4 more guys like Thomas/KGH/Collins and dont forget about Vincent Taylor. I thought Taylor was going to be a real find before he went down with injury.

Tavierre Thomas had that 48 yd pick six yesterday.

With Lovie Smith being elevated to Head Coach I think its a good idea to revisit the defensive players entering free agency. Particularly KGH, Reid and King.
I think KGH will be brought back at a reasonable deal. LB contract shouldn’t break the bank and he is a good scheme fit.
I think it is a foregone conclusion that Reid is leaving. Though he did speak in favor of Lovie becoming HC. There is an outside chance that he does not get an offer he expects in FA and takes whatever the Texans offer instead. But I’d say he’s 70% gonna leave.
King will probably leave as well. He played out of position at outside CB last season. Was serviceable but his best position is nickel and the Texans uncovered a diamond in the rough already under contract in Tavierre Thomas for that role.
A couple others: Maliek Collins and Christian Kirksey. I think the Texans move on from them. They are serviceable depth pieces but the Texans now have the assets to upgrade from them. Collins in particular, having Blacklock on his rookie contract and Collins together is basically the same player. Might as well bring in a new player that might be an upgrade. Texans run defense has to improve and upgrades in the front 7 have to be made to do that.

If we can bring back King, we should. We need CBs. He gives us depth at CB, and is also a decent KR/PR.
I'd keep Kirksey as a rotational piece if he can be brought back cheap enough. He's serviceable and provides depth.
Now, we have differing opinions on Maliek Collins. If we can bring him back, I would absolutely do so if the price is right. Even, as you say, if Collins and Blacklock are the same player, why wouldn't you want to keep both if you can? If you rotate them out, you don't lose anything, and if one gets hurt, you have another to fill the role. I mean, I can understand if we can bring in an upgrade, but I think it's going to be hard to get the top FA's to sign with us.

Collins and Blacklock are the same player. Above average pass rushers on the interior and way below average run defenders. The run defense is not good enough and Collins has shown in his career he is what he is (situational pass rusher).
The DT position needs to be upgraded.

We still need depth. Players get hurt sometimes. Sometimes they even get tired, and need a rest. I don't know.

There's more 1 year contracts with them than the players.
