Age and salary may make TB pause though. Guys are going to want to come play with CJ, plus it's is hometown, and he'll have a shot at getting a ring. Just seems like the perfect ending to a HOF career. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirby Drive Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 The IOL needs to get healthy. Since Howard may not make back next yr and if he does it's unlikely he will be the same player, Patrick Paul is my pick at 1-23 Running the ball behind Mason and Paul should help the run game. Scruggs will help with this too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A patellar injury is very serious. I talked to a doctor friend of mine that's a big Texan fan, he said he may make it back (Maybe not) but dont expect him to be the player you thought you were going to get when you paid him 18 mil per year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've actually torn my patellar tendon (a complete rupture, which I don't think is the case here with Howard). Six months is an incredibly optimistic recovery time, mine took about 18 months (but again, mine was a full rupture). One thing about knee injuries, they're very tricky for bigger people - tearing a ligament/tendon for a RB can follow a standard timeline, but when you're carrying 320lbs of mass, the joint and other ligaments that weren't injured will be carrying additional stress. Howard has always been very injury prone, so I'd be setting myself up for disappointment if I assumed he was all systems go for next season. This all being said - did anyone notice that George Fant logged 900 snaps and only gave up 3 sacks and committed 3 penalties all season long? We're counting him out, but Fant had a great season, I actually think he's the starting RT next season: https://www.pff.com/nfl/players/george-fant/11282 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe that explains why that guy from PFF has TWICE mocked that tackle/guard from Oregon State to us. I agree with you on Fant. My impression is that he played well.

Maybe that explains why that guy from PFF has TWICE mocked that tackle/guard from Oregon State to us. I put little to no stock in mocks that take place right now outside of who are names that played well to garner top 32 consideration. So much is going to shift in regards to the needs of the Texans as well as the player rankings here. For example, the Texans could sign Connor Williams to a big deal and then the need for an OL reduces drastically. Then you have the combine and pro days; Someone we covet could test poorly and drop, and someone could blow it up and suddenly find themselves in first round talks (I honestly expect AD Mitchell out of UT to work his way into a top 15 consideration). For now - before the E/W Shrine and the Senior Bowl - mocks are just posted to get clicks and generate chatter. Once those are done, you can start putting names to teams. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
