RamblinMan99 Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 Honestly didn't know he was still playing. He almost went to Pittsburgh back in 2011. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the same thing. A cheap deal for 2 years would be nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DawgX Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 Makes me feel old cause it feels like yesterday when he was drafted by the Bengals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a 4 year Houstonian who listens to 610 Texans radio often, I can say for sure that he gets treated the way Dawkins or Westbrook get treated in Philly. He's done a very good job for this team for a long time. He's probably not one of the 10 most talented Texans, but he is one of the 10 most respected Texans. Not sure who the top ten guys for defensive TDs are, but J-Jo has 8 in his career. Ed Reed had 9 Prime Time had 10 He's a Hall of Very Good guy for his career overall. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TecmoSuperJoe Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 I remember the 49ers were trying to get him in 2011, but he became a Texan instead. Great career. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there's a good argument to put him in the top 10 - sure, he's not Watt, Johnson, Hopkins, Foster or Watson. Might not be a Clowney or Mario if you're looking at physical tools (because those two were freaks of nature - even if they didn't play up to their tools). But he's jockeying with the likes of 'Meco Ryans, Cush, Myers and Duane Brown for one of those spots in the 7-10 range. It's unquestioned that he's the best DB in Texans history, with a significant gap between himself and Aaron Glenn. By and large, he was the face of the secondary during that 3-4 year run with Wade, when the Texans D was one of th best in the NFL. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
