Stupid *** front office. I'm certain that BOB is going to trade Clowney for a 4th round pick. Maybe some roster fodder that would end up as a #4 CB, or a swing T that they're going to talk up as a potential starter... But yeah, we're gonna move Clowney for pennies on the dollar, much like how we traded an excessive amount for Duke Johnson. There's no question that this is the most disasterous off-season in Texans history. This overtakes the defensive exodus in 2005, this overtakes Gary Kubiak saying no to Peyton Manning, this overtakes pretty much every single draft/FA bust made by Rick Smith - this is an absolute failure of an off-season, and that lies at the feet of Bill O'Brien. He'd have to go 13-3 and win the SB for me to change my tune at this time. He's the worst thing to ever happen to this franchise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I’m not a proponent for Dev, he inherited a ton of talent that has since been dismantled. Brandon Brooks, Ben Jones, and Duane all have been sent packing. Then we finally invest come top draft capital back in it this past draft. We have added so many people and drafted a lot of guys who just haven’t developed at all. The line keeps getting worse. He’s obviously not able to develop linemen or even get them to play at their peak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tab Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 (edited) im 100% certain that if we trade Clowney, we're going to get smoked by every RB we play this year. It just feels like a big mistake. edit: if it wasnt for Watson/Hop and fantasy football in general, i dont think i'd be watching this year Edited August 14, 2019 by tab 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't expect Berdnardrick McKinney or Zach Cunningham to fill up that void Clowney leaves on run defense. This just feels too rushed. It's almost like they're doing something just to do something - if it's getting picks to make a sweetheart deal for Trent Williams, I MIGHT change my tune... but not really. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ET80 Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 So, Roderick Johnson has been getting snaps at LT and looks "consistent". Which is a lot better than whatever Matt Kalil was doing. Johnson is a reclamation project from Cleveland, former FSU guy, 2x All ACC. There is some potential to be decent - not necessarily good, but serviceable for 16 games. Not getting my hopes up, but not exactly choking on this option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amazingandre Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 I want to see the combination of Johnson Howard Fulton Scharping Henderson get a lot of play time together the next two games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pastor Dillon Posted August 18, 2019 Author Share Posted August 18, 2019 Davenport and Rankin were our young future bookends last year and they might both get cut this year. Davenport is gone. No way he’s on the roster. Mancz/Sharping probably have two back up spots locked in. That means Kelemete/Johnson/Davenport/Rankin are fighting for 1 maybe 2 spots.

HoboRocket Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 I thought Buddy Howell looked really good yesterday. What do you guys think? Any chance of stealing Higdon/Crockett's spot? I mean, he has some power to him, which is literally the only compliment I've hear BOB give the two rookie UDFAs. Ran well at FAU but was relegated to a smaller role when Devin Singletary emerged. 2nd-year guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the most, I can see him beating Taiwan Jones for the #4 RB spot. Miller/Johnson/Higdon/Howell, with Crockett and Ferguson both on the PS and Jones cut - that's how I'm scoring it right now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we keep 6 WRs and only 3 RBs with Howell being the 3rd and Gillaspia being a RB/FB who plays special teams and can play some 3rd down back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
