***Unofficial 2012 Houston Texans Football Thread***

[Dr. Gonzo]

Year 2 of Wade's defense. Let's keep the boys healthy and make another run.

Go Texans!

[benefactor]

Lot's to be excited about. Young, dominate defense and all the guys back healthy. Time to come out of the shadow and take it to the next level.

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

It'll be interesting what they do with Mario Williams given how much production they got out of the other OLBs.

[benefactor]

Foster being re-signed is the priority. If it means letting Williams walk then so be it. They have proven they can get the job done with Reed and Barwin manning the OLB spots.

[Dr. Gonzo]

They can't franchise him, it would cost too much. They could lose Foster if they give Mario too much. I say let him walk if he doesn't go for a modest extension. They can't risk the future by handcuffing themselves with his salary.

[benefactor]

Agreed. We'll see what happens.

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

Tbh if they lose him and use the freed up cap space to get a real #2 corner or #2 receiver since Kareem Jackson and Jacoby Jones suck they'd be stacked next year.

[benefactor]

Yeah...lot's of flexibility right now. Signs point to them probably just letting Mario go next season. He's a force but they need to address other areas much more than they need to re-sign him.

[DeadlyDynasty]

Texans are a #2 WR away from being DOMINANT, imo

[djohn2oo8]

Colts wouldn't let this happen but give me Reggie Wayne.

[InRareForm]

Ship Jacoby's ass out! Draft a new WR and kick returner.

We will be a force for the next few years!!

[Ari Gold]

they should trade schaub, williams for peyton

then draft a WR

set fo life

[CubanSucks]

that brooding QB that we have at the moment is the future. Top 5 QB in the league. Can't wait to see him tearing defenses assholes apart next season. Even more happy about the potential of the defense. They're a bunch of killers

We better sign myers, and brisel or im gonna be pissed. I also hope the really get a reciever in the first round, im tired of these fucking scrubs opposite on Andre.

[benefactor]

Yeah...they need to work their ass off to get Myers back on board. He's been out testing the market but hopefully they will make him a nice offer soon.

[manufan10]

The Texans have signed former Cowboys ILB Bradie James, according to reports.

[manufan10]

IRVING, Texas – Bradie James will be reuniting with former Cowboys head coach Wade Phillips on Houston.

James agreed to a one-year deal with the Texans, according to a source, and put him in position to replace Demeco Ryans, who was traded earlier this offseason to Philadelphia, at inside linebacker in Phillips’ 3-4 scheme.

James started 13 games for the Cowboys in 2011 but had his playing time cut back dramatically. He finished with 53 tackles, one tackle for loss, two quarterback pressures, two pass deflections a forced fumble and fumble recovery.

James, 31, started every game during Phillips’ tenure as Dallas’ head coach and recorded at least 130 tackles in each season, including a career-high eight sacks in 2008. He led the Cowboys in tackles from 2005-10, the longest streak in team history.

The Cowboys did not make an effort to keep James, signing Dan Connor to a two-year deal in the first few days of free agency to compete with Bruce Carter, last year’s second-round pick.

[benefactor]

Re-signed Dobbins too. Good depth moves at LB.

[scott]

James sucks dick. Hopefully for you guys he's just a depth move.

[Chris]

The cupcake is a curse. James will likely be used in nickel/3rd down packages, but he's still
about as good as Dat Nguyen at this point.

[benefactor]

James sucks dick. Hopefully for you guys he's just a depth move.
It is. Sharpton will be the main guy. Besides...if it makes Wade happy, I'm happy.

[Dr. Gonzo]

Go Texans

[benefactor]

Made a hell of a splash last year. We'll see what's on their mind for this year. If there is anything I trust Smith and Kubiak with, it's the draft.

Probably go OLB with the first then possibly O-line with the second. Should still be good WR value in the third and that extra fourth is just gravy.

Please OLB first round...I hope all the OTs projected for the Texans are gone so it'll once again prove that fat ass piece of shatttt John Mcclain wrong.

[shyne]

I hate John McClain. The pick is either fleener or upshaw. Regardless the nees to get dre some help, I'm tired of seeing that guy from the movie the replacements lined up across from him.

[shyne]

What are the odds Kubiak takes shitty ass Jeff fuller?

[djohn2oo8]

What are the odds Kubiak takes shitty ass Jeff fuller?
5th round. He would have his head on a platter if he took him first round.

[T Park]

Don't get drafting a TE, although hes supposedly "like a WR".

They need a legitimate second WR.

Im not 100% sold on TJ Yates either.

decent back up, but god to me his arm is SO damn weak.

I wish the FO had balls, would trade up and get Floyd. Floyd and Johnson together with Schaub and and Foster would be Spurs 2012 offense like.

[T Park]

I would NOT be at all opposed if he some how falls to there, Don'ta Hightower.

Alright guys who you want in round 2 and 3?

[Spurtacus]

Kiper has the Texans taking Brian Quick, WR with 2nd round pick.

Do you guys want him over Ryan Broyles? Broyles would have been a first rounder if it wasn't for his ACL tear.

Broyles. He was a beast at OU and has star potential. He'll probably still be there in the 3rd.

[djohn2oo8]

I wouldn't mind Nick Toon in the 3rd or 4th.

[Kai]

Still plenty of WRs left.

[Spurtacus]

Kiper just modified his 2nd round.

Mohamed Sanu, WR Rutgers

[T Park]

Randle is still there......

I could see Pittsburgh going WR..

[Kai]

I still fear for the day that Wade leaves us

God.Please.No

[Dr. Gonzo]

If he makes the team it will be another Derrick Mason type thing. I doubt he makes the team. Mike Sims Walker tried out during OTAs and never got an offer. Roy isn't better than him. If he does make the team he will have the Derrick Mason role.

[Dr. Gonzo]

I don't see the point. Maybe motivation for the young guys? I'm hoping LeStar can be good enough to take the 3rd slot.

[shyne]

Anyone catch Barwins new hairdo, dude is crazy lol.

Yeah that was funny. The whole team should get them.

Doesn't sound like they went with him since they signed Bryant Johnson. That made a ton more sense since he was actually with the team last year. I too hope that Jean impresses enough to be the third.

[djohn2oo8]

I think LeStar will make it as the third. Dude has excellent work ethic. I do hope that Baltimore has fun with Jacoby Jones and know that he can't be returned to sender.

[Dr. Gonzo]

Baltimore has already expressed concerns about his drops.

he should have been used to losing by then.

[Kai]

I'm definitely excited about Martin. He's a real home run threat every time he gets the ball. Hearing about how he's killing it in practice is awesome.

[The Gemini Method]

Will be contending for AFC supremacy if they can keep Schaub healthy. Would've like to have seen the Texans square off against the Patriots. Perhaps this year it'll be the full culmination of the team and a playoff showdown.

[djohn2oo8]

^I wonder about that all the time if Jacoby hadn't fumbled. Foster did keep them in the game though, and it would have been interesting to see him run against NE. Hopefully everything goes well this season, and a the matchup with The Patriots December 10th on MNF is a good one.

[benefactor]

Good opening defensive sequence and a solid first drive by the starters even though they settled for a FG. They look like they are only going to build on last year.

PATS LOST, RAVENS LOST.

I am sure the writers are hurting inside having to put texans at #2.

[InRareForm]

see my sig.

JJ WATT is the fuckin man.

[benefactor]

Best defensive player: Houston defensive end J.J. Watt. Not easy for a 3-4 defensive end, particularly one in the first month of his second year as a pro, and particularly one playing with a nagging elbow injury that requires the elbow to be braced, to lead the NFL with 7.5 sacks and five passes batted down at the line. He makes it clear, correctly, that being on a defense with a great young cast has been a huge assist for him. But the way he can speed about the edge and bull-rush inside with equal skill has made it impossible to block him one-on-one consistently.

He's had at least one sack in every game this year, and dating to last year's two playoff games, Watt has 11 sacks in his last six games -- insane for a 3-4 defensive end. Notified of this incredibly prestigious honor, being named the best defensive player of the first month of the season, Watt said after his two-sack game against Tennessee Sunday: "I appreciate that, but it's only one quarter of the season. We've got lots to do.''

Doesn't sound like it. I'm betting that they will go this route until Sharpton is healthy. However, that philosophy may change after the GB and BMore games.

[djohn2oo8]

They're gonna have to do something. Dobbins is the option now but who sits behind him until Sharpton is healthy? Sharpton is said to not be ready for a few weeks.

[benefactor]

Good timing for the bye week. Having Jonathan Joseph back close to 100% is crucial for the secondary. He needs these two weeks off. There are some other players with bumps and bruises that it will benefit too.

[Dr. Gonzo]

It's been a good run so far. I'm elated with a 6-1 start.

[djohn2oo8]

It has indeed been a good run..I heard Kubiak on the radio said Andre hasn't been 100% since he had the surgery but should gain his ecplosiveness back after the bye as expected.

[benefactor]

Not to overshadow Schaub's big day, but the one thing I wanted to see out of him he still couldn't produce. He could have ended the game in overtime by hitting an open receiver but wound up underthrowing the ball and getting it picked off. The defense/Andre Johnson bailed him out and the Texans won the game.

Him not making that throw worries me. It tells me he's still not clutch enough to do what is necessary to win when it's all on the line. At some point, he's going to have to prove he can win a game for the Texans with his arm when everything goes to shit like it did Sunday. There has to come a time when he plays like a champion and not a game manager for this team to be serious about a title.

[VBM]

I don't understand why Foster is being taken out of the passing game. Teams are scheming to stop the run...loosen up the defense with some short passes, Ray Rice style.

[benefactor]

Kubiak is one of the biggest offensive enigmas on the planet. Sometimes he looks flat brilliant then others you are like wtf?

[gameFACE]

Yeah, Schaub still has to prove himself. The obvious thing about the defense was that two seasons ago they couldn't bail out anything or anyone. So I took yesterday's game as a welcome chance for the Texans to mount a come back after being down in a game. Even against the lowly Jags. The Texans have to learn how to win anywhich way they can.

Its not just on Schaub. The whole team came out lethargic and Shayne Graham can't hit anything outside the 30. Schaub drove them down the field in position to get a TD but got a field goal instead. Shayne Graham hits the FG in regulation and its game over. Down 14 and Schaub led them back.

[djohn2oo8]

Btw, remember this line isnt as strong as last year with Winston and Briesel leaving. The times they tried running screens this year they got blown up.

[gameFACE]

Shayne Graham hits the FG in regulation and its game over. Down 14 and Schaub led them back.
I think that false start with 5 seconds left in regulation ticked me off more than Schaub's pick off in OT. Graham would have made the 42-yard FG. It was a stupid penalty.

[benefactor]

Schaub with yet another pick in OT. Better get that whole defense healthy because this game manager isn't carrying them in the clutch.

[djohn2oo8]

Them boyz on Kirby pulled out another one. Positives I took from the game...

- Gym Shorts is a dumbass
- Kareem Jackson held his own against Megatron

[benefactor]

Yep...it's straight garbage beyond him...at least at the corners(I'd argue they are one of the better teams in the league at safety with Quin and Manning). For all the good Rick Smith has done in the draft he's missed pretty bad on corners.

Going straight man most of the game against Brady was a pretty poor decision too having this knowledge.

[gameFACE]

I like this loss in hindsight. How the Texans react to this might even be a bigger test than getting shit on by the Pats last night. Even the Pats have won 18 straight only to lose the SB. If the Texans lose two or three out of the next three then they're fools gold.

[benefactor]

ILB has been almost as bad as the secondary this year. We now know just important Cushing was to this defense. I'd be willing to say he makes almost as much of an impact as Watt.

Sharpton is back on IR...again...:depressed

ILB has been almost as bad as the secondary this year. We now know just important Cushing was to this defense. I'd be willing to say he makes almost as much of an impact as Watt.
ILB's keep falling...Dobbins is now headed to IR too. Had to promote a rookie from the practice squad.

Just lose and get this over with.

Good write up on Watt.


In case you weren’t watching this season, Watt set about redefining what is possible at the 3-4 end position. People talk about how Lawrence Taylor burst into the league and changed the way people thought about 3-4 outside linebackers. You are witnessing the same thing happening now with Watt. He gave the all-time single-season sack record a close run, finishing with 20.5 sacks and actually getting to the quarterback 25 times this season. That ties him for sixth on the all-time list with L.T. himself. Watt recorded the same number of sacks in a season as one of the better performances from one of the greatest rush threats to ever play the game, and he did it from an interior line position. Make no mistake, that’s exactly where Watt played. Though the Texans moved him around, they kept him inside most of the time, with just 6.9% of his snaps coming on the edge in a four-man line.

However, Watt wasn’t just about the sacks. He batted down 15 passes on the season. The next best mark over the past five years of play is the 10 Johnny Jolly recorded in 2009. What about his play against the run? His tackles in the run game this season totaled 11 yards of gain for the offense. When Watt made a tackle in the run game the back averaged 0.16 yards, and it’s not like he was missing many tackles either, allowing just two to get away from him. He made a ridiculous 72 defensive stops, 18 better than the next best player at his position, who in turn was 13 clear of the chasing pack.

Watt became the first player to ever top 100 grading points in a single season at any position, ending the year with a farcical looking +101.7 grade on 958 snaps. This time last season we anointed Justin Smith the second-best player in football, and one of the most dominant defenders in the league, with a grade of +46.5 on the season. Watt more than doubled that, and this time last year we would have told you that there wasn’t much room for a player to be better than Smith. J.J. Watt is completely re-writing what we thought was possible from his position. We are witnessing something very special, and, if nothing else, we have witnessed the first winner of this award in action.

:lol at your attempt to talk smack. Oklahoma is not a very populated state. Factor in the ridiculously small market situation and it's really hard to get a professional football team.

I take solace in the fact that the only football team that really matters absolutely man-handled your little Longhorns.

Again, :lol 63-21.

Texans won't rule out drafting a QB


Our sources wouldn’t rule out the possibility [of drafting a QB], pointing to the situations of the 49ers and Seahawks, neither of whom felt they needed a starter when they selected Colin Kaepernick and Russell Wilson in the second and third rounds, respectively, the past two years.

We hear the Texans would love to have a mobile QB like one of the two aforementioned rising stars.

“Steve Young won a Super Bowl in this offense,” noted a daily team observer. “John Elway was a really good runner. Jake Plummer was a really good runner. When you’re running a bootleg, there is only one guy there to stop the QB. A mobile QB is great for the system.”

what do they all have in common besides being running QBs, I can't quite place it
