'stros, now but I will take it, I set myself up for it. haha

but I meant the front office of that organization is terrible. The Texans have a lot more to look forward to than the Jets, and it starts with a 5'11 guy from USC, that wore #5 biggrin.gif

Man, I love draft talk.. (one of my favorite times of the year. I watch the whole thing and have my own draft board)

Dont be so sure about Bush?, With exception to David Carr, Houston's track record for draft success hasnt been stellar so far? I am no NY fan, but the Jets have drafted well and have made strides. The Jets look to fill holes and shore-up weaknesses, so they now have Brad Kassell, and that may be the part of their run defense that needed to be corrected. The Jets usually focus on fixing the needed areas...which makes their front office pertty good in my book. The Texans will probably draft Bush, then he AND Andre Johnson can help pick David Carr up after he is sacked for the 10th time in the game. If the Texans were smart, they would trade that first pick and turn it into two other first rounder's... Take an Offensive Tackle (D'Brickashaw Furguson-Virginia) and a Offensive Guard (Max Jean-Giles-Georgia, or Davin Joseph-OU). Most first or second round talent OL's could help protect David Carr and make an immediate impact. The Texans already have a good RB in Wells. But facts are facts; Carr is the most sacked QB in the league since Archie Manning. Carr cant throw if he is lying on his back?

I think Gary Kubiak will do good things down there, and will eventually get the right guys in Houston to fix that bizarro situation...but what a mess in H-town right now? The only thing that could make that mess worse down there would be hearing that Ricky Williams is your opening day starter. Short of that, good luck...

lol I share your optimism, but there's something faulty about your reasoning there. Jets have one of the most proven backs (although not too electrifying) in the league, while the Texans will have one of the most electrifying (although not proven).

We'll see how good Reggie Bush is running behind the worst offensive line in the league and facing defenses with guys that can run his crack down. Don't get me wrong Reggie Bush is very talented, but the NFL will a lot different than running behind the #1 offensive lines in College Football.

Couple things:

Dan Reeves came in at the end of the year and said that part of the O-line's problem was the blocking schemes used by the Caper's staff. He hadnt ever seen anything so confusing and ineffective. The other problem with the sacks is actually David Carr himself. Look at early draft notes on him right before he came out. one of the knocks on him was "holds onto the ball for too long" ... bad thing for the NFL, no matter what line you have in front of you. Look for Kubiak to fix both. If he could get something out of Plummer, he may be able to work some magic on Carr. Carr still has a good arm and some mobility, which are things Kubiak really likes in a QB, and sees that in Carr. Or at least, so he says.

Texans will be fine on all other skill positions on offense. The addition of Moulds will complement Andre Johnson nicely. Davis is a 1000 yard back and should preform (if he can hang onto the ball). Throw a guy like Bush in there that can line up in the slot (and do it well), line up at half back, and perform on special teams (along with Mathis, the Texans Pro Bowl returner), Id say there will be significant upgrades to the offensive this off-season, and we should see increased production.

Of course, there are still question marks on defense, especially in the secondary since Buchanon has been a bust, but I like them to win several more games next year and set themselves up as a playoff contender for the 2007 season.

Of course, this board has a large Cowboy-fan contingency, so I am probably wasting my time writing all this... haha tongue.gif

write this down:

the Texans taking Reggie Bush will go down in history right next to Ryan Leaf. no player who plays offense and touches the ball less than 15 times per game is worth the #1 pick. the good news for them is that they will have a chance to trade the #1 pick again next year.

By that logic the only players ever taken with the #1 picks are quarterbacks and centers blink.gif

Write this down. 4.2 speed and moves like his translate into a whole different set of options for an offense. If I'm the Texans I pray that teams blitz like they've been doing. The screen pass becomes that much more effective.

Also, USC does not lose that national title game if Pete Carroll puts the ball into the hands of his most talented player...Reggie Bush. After that botched pitch they completely went away from him.

      The point stands that we aren’t buying out three years of Morris’ contract. He will got one more year, at least, to sell the leadership on why he should keep his job.

      Keebler has to go!

      It’s simply a coach’s decision imo. In 2009 I watched TCU’s Jaden Oberkrom line up and attempt a 60 yarder for Arlington Martin vs Trinity at Pennington….as a Freshman. Trinity jumped off sides so he kicked from 55 and just missed to the right by a foot. It would have been good from 65. I promise he was kicking in Junior High and if he wasn’t that’s all on the coaches.. Both years my son played for Weatherford Hall Middle School against Aledo, 7th and 8th grade, Aledo kicked all their extra points. It’s part of the game, and Aledo hires people that demand all of the game be taught and coached. Nothing about their special teams are missed, just like the rest of their game. But this didn’t surprise anyone because Aledo had just had a kid, Chance Nevarez on their varsity set the national record for the most extra points made in a row. Buchanon demanded it, so his Junior High coaches demanded it. So just like everything, if a coach decides it’s not in his interest then he’s not gonna demand it and coach it. Same for installing a short yardage play from under center. If the coach isn’t interested in it and instead thinks handing off 5 yards deep to make 6 inches is the best way, despite how many times he’s seen that not work….then his team will never develop one. Same for kickers in Junior high. Rick

      Especially in the age of the portal, it doesn't take long to build a good team. ECU was 2-10 last year and will probably be 8-4 now.

      Littrell’s UNT contract ended Jan. 31, 2024, so UNT shouldn’t have been paying him for quite some time.
