RedScare Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 Meanwhile, back at the ranch....As Houstonians go crazy while reveling in their newfound status as a Baseball Town, and World Series tickets go for $600...for STANDING ROOM, the owner of Houston's worst sports franchise pleads, begs for fans to show up at his team's games.http://www.chron.com/cs/CDA/ssistory.mpl/sports/3404718If Mr. McNair spent as much time hiring coaches and players who know how to play football as he does trying to take more money from mid-market football teams, he might find that fans would come to the games, eat his overpriced food, buy his $7 beer and buy his $200 jerseys. And then, he might not need to take the other owners' share of revenue. Instead, we'll spend Sunday afternoon at the Kroger, buying beer and munchies in preparation for Game 2 of the World Series that night.Many thanks to the Houston Astros for replacing the Super Bowl that McNair lost with the World Series. I'll take that trade any day.GO 'STROS! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

houstonsemipro Posted October 22, 2005 Author Share Posted October 22, 2005 The Texans is not getting rid of Carr. So, y'all need to get that off y'all minds for now. Texans needs Off.linemen, and Defense linemen. They don't need another quarterback, nor runningbacks. But, they could do some good by drafting more wide receivers (verterns, not rookies). The biggest thing now is offensive linemen. I predict their first pick will be linemen's, nothing less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedScare Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 Last week I posted a remark about how pathetic it was that Texans owner Bob McNair was reduced to begging fans through the media to come to his football game and buy his overpriced beer and food. Well, Texans fans, let me tell you ole Bob's latest move. The Texans have started an automated message campaign, calling ticket holders to beg them to show up to the game this weekend. Dunta Robinson's recorded voice was just telling me not to forget the game this weekend. It is a shame, really, that the message was recorded. If Bob himself would have called me, I could have told him exactly why I am not going to his games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ProHouston Posted November 14, 2005 Share Posted November 14, 2005 It's been rumored recently that if McNair fires Capers at the end of the season then Jimmy Johnson's name is at the top of the list. He was born in Port Arthur. He took over a struggling Cowboys team and took them to the Super Bowl with 3 young weapons. The Texans David Carr, Andre Johnson, and Dominic Davis might fit his profile...Would he come out of retirement? Would McNair be willing to spend enough $$$?

RedScare Posted November 14, 2005 Share Posted November 14, 2005 Don't know if Johnson is tired of the coaching rat race, but the Texans would fit his profile. They suck, so he would be a hero for building them into a winner. Houston is a coastal city, like he likes. McNair has money to spend, and doesn't run the team like some other owners.I'd love to see it happen. For everything else, Johnson is a winner....and he'd get us lots of pub.

hokieone Posted November 14, 2005 Share Posted November 14, 2005 Only thing that could slow Jimmy down is his ego. Would be willing to bet he would want to wear both hats of head coach and GM of personnel decisions. I don't necessarily have a problem with that because Casserly has been a joke to date, but at the same time, the head coach/GM experiments haven't always gone that well - Holmgren in Seattle, Gruden in Tampa Bay (yes I know they won a Super Bowl, but haven't been good since then).

RedScare Posted November 14, 2005 Share Posted November 14, 2005 Well, you kinda forgot why Johnson left the Cowboys. He and Jerry Jones had severe disagreements about who was in charge, and after a big blowout after a night of drinking, Johnson quit. I assume you are asking about the Miami Dolphins, since we all know what Johnson did with the Hurricanes. At the Dolphins, Johnson was 27-21, never had a losing season, and went to the playoffs twice in 3 years, going 2-2. I bet the Texans would take that record any day.

Fisher is probably one of the top 10 coaches in the NFL and his team is young right now. If the Texans were to luck into Fisher, they would be very fortunate. That being said, Fisher also has Floyd Reese as his GM, a much more capable GM right now than Casserly has shown to be. Just look at the Titans draft choices over the years and you'll see that Reese has a good head for the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've watched Fisher since he was with Buddy Ryan and he is a fantastic coach, especially defensively. Further, he creates an atmosphere where his players want to play for him and that's a huge deal in the long run.I think Johnson is a damn good coach but I think Fisher fits the city of Houston better.

Hometown hero or not, the Texans need this guy more. Redscare, the Texans is not going to draft Reggie Bush in the first round, nor a quarterback. The Texans needs LINEMENS on both sides of the ball. Why get Reggie Bush and you have Dominick Davis that rushes over 1,000 yards every season, and a rookie runningback that runs the same as Davis? Why get a another quarterback and pay him more then Carr? I don't think so. David Carr is not a bad quarterback. All he needs is a line that would block for him. Carr got a great arm, and he's a threat for his running ability. Carr is the 3rd rushing quarterback in the league behind Micheal Vick, and Aaron Brooks. I beleive their first pick will be an offensive linemen, and probably another big wide receiver will be a great addition to the Texans offensive. The main area they need to fix is their defense secondary. Oh, my God! They're horriable. They need to draft FS's, SS's, a DB, DL's, and at lease two more LB's. Really, their defense need the works, cause without a defense, there's no win. Offense wins games. Defense wins Championships. Ex.

Besides, Carr is up for a $8 million dollar bonus to extend his contract after the end of the season. Bob Mcnair said he would have gotten Carr a raise during the season, but he hold off cause if Carr got seriously injuried. Plus, Davis already got a raise in the beginning of the season.

Hopefully they can trade Dominick Davis for a lineman or two.I don't get what you're saying. Trade Dominick Davis for a lineman? You kiddin right? Davis is one of the top 10 runningbacks in the league today, and by trading him to get Bush sounds pretty stupid to me. Why pay alot of money for a high ranked runningback, and when he get's here it's be the same crap, no blocking? I don't care you have an high ranked quarterback and runningback, if you don't have a line those people will get shut down. So far I'll been right about the Texans this year, and quite sure they will get a linemen in the first round draft. If they don't, they're in for another losing season.

HeightsGuy Posted December 9, 2005 Share Posted December 9, 2005 Conventional wisdom states that when you have the #1 pick, you pick a franchise QB if you need one, otherwise you take the best player in the draft. For the Texans, that means Bush, end of story. In addition to that, if Bush lives up to the hype, no GM in his right mind will want to look back and say he took a Left Tackle over Bush 5 years from now no matter how good that LT turns out to be. Luckily for the Texans, this year's draft is full of capable Linemen, that will make the decision to draft Bush a little easier knowing the issues they have with the OL right now. If we draft a LT, we plug one hole, if we draft Bush we actually plug a number of holes. Bush will create more problems for a defense than any LT can; you put Bush in the backfield and at least one linebacker has to shadow him no matter what. That alone gives Carr an extra second or two on every pass play. And to those who say you should only have one good back, there will be plenty of opportunities to have both Bush and Davis lined up at the same time. Passing in a two back set with Davis blocking and Bush as an escape valve also frees up Andre Johnson a little, so Davis also becomes the defacto second receiver we've been needing without blowing a high pick on a receiver.Oh, and no disrespect semipro, but your list is circa April 05, before Bush had his breakout year this year. You won't find a single current draft prediction list that has Bush rated lower than D'Angelo Williams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Great Hizzy! Posted December 9, 2005 Share Posted December 9, 2005 I don't think Vince is leaving this year. I think a) like many other Longhorns under Mack Brown, he really enjoys playing at Texas and would probably enjoy yet another season (just as Roy Williams, Ricky Williams and Chris Simms did); b.) Vince could stand to improve his reads and his form just a bit when passing; he's made great improvement and I think he'll be a very good pure passer even on the pro level but he's still got a couple of glitches in his mechanics; c) He may want to see if he can help Texas repeat as nat'l champs. . As for the Texans, I'd try to trade down, draft D'Brickashaw Ferguson at OT if he's available at my new draft spot, then in later rounds address either TE/DB in the second round and then go after a pretty decent and athletic LB in the third round. If the Texans are able to pull an extra second or third round pickt his year as a result of trading down in the first round, I'd draft DB if I went TE with the early second round pick or the opposite. So, for example, if the Texans trade down in the first and end up with an extra second round pick, I'd like to see something like this: Round 1- D'Brickashaw Ferguson, OT, Virginia Round 2(a) - David Thomas, TE, Texas Round 2 ( - Greg Blue, S, Georgia Round 3 - LB of some kind.
