I'm not saying it ALL has to happen, I'm just saying if all of this comes together we can have a great defense and wreak some havoc. With the schedule being the way it is, the team can really shine defensively even though the offense with the QB situation the way it is, is really not ideal.

The Manning situation did not surprise me at all. Stupiak does not want to work with Manning. I would have loved to have him years back, but not really jumping up and down to have him now. Although he is still a HOF QB and better than most the QB's in the league (certainly better than all 3 of ours) he's seen his better days.

I'll let Daddio chime in on Rick Smith. I know Rick is his favorite person in the world and he will be ecstatic to know about his latest blunder. Let her rip Daddio!

We get to to play Bortles/Mariotta for 1/4th of the games, should have the number one defense every week that happens, so a top 5 overall doesn't seem that unrealistic.

Our QB's not moving the ball/turning it over will probably be the biggest challenge for our D to overcome

I will be there preseason game 1

Daddio · 06-24-2015, 09:12 PM

That mother fucker Rick Smith!!! I knew he was a cocksucker! Kubes too! Those 2 set us back years!! It will be interesting to see if BOB can overcome the fuck face fool GM.

Sure hope the Philosofoster has a big year!!!!!!!!! We will go as far as he can carry us!!!! Offense will be below par except for him. Hopefully the OL will be improved but that looks pretty shaky as of now.

It's a shame we didn't sign Richie Incognito mainly for his Hard Knocks value. He was epic on a previous HKnocks!!

Interesting article on ESPN yesterday by Tonia. Seems that BoB has these metrics for the type of players he wants. Bigger, stronger. Players have to have hands at least a certain size, arm length at least a certain size. Last year the team passed on Bortles, Bridgewater, Carr and JimmyG I guess because they did not meet their metrics and the result is that they are trying to decide between a guy who got passed over for Jimmy G and a guy who could not beat out Johnny Football. Great. But they got big hands. Talk on 610 was that they passed on Bridgewater due to hand size.

As good as this team is now, it would be a whole lot better if they had taken Mack first and Carr second.

The season hasn't started an you are worried an you should be no play makers at the wide receiver position none of these guys can get separation from the top corner backs in the league

Daddio · 06-25-2015, 08:16 AM

We had wr trouble last year. Nobody got open. No separation for sure. This is a major reason the offense will sputter. It's good to hear Philosofoster is in great shape, he better have a monster season.

You know what big hands and big feet mean? The ladies know!!!

Big gloves, big shoes!!!

Reports on the web say Titans QB Mariota shows deadly accuracy. Just what the Texans need, another team in the division with a plus QB while they struggle to find one

This week on the NFL Top 100 Players list...our boy....Justin James Watt was voted the # 1 player this year. Wow! He's the first defensive player in the 5 years of the show to claim the honor. He was ranked #12 last year.

The top 5 were...
2. Aaron Rodgers (everyone thought he would win it)
3. Tom Shady (Mr Deflategate, we're still waiting to see how games he gets)
4. Demarco Murray (huh? I'm shocked but I guess Philly is happy)
5. Peyton Manning (my favorite QB of all time. He still got the mojo)

Congrats to Justin, it was well deserved and I think they got it right. This will make Hard Knocks even more interesting now.

I couldn't agree more! Congrats to JJ, it was well deserved.

Let's hope for a repeat in 2016!!!!!

Daddio · 07-14-2015, 12:36 PM

My season tickets were just delivered to my office!!! One month until the preseason kickoff. 2 months from the 1st home game!!!! Can't Wait!!

Satin · 07-19-2015, 12:36 PM

Please hurry up and start training camp so we can have something to talk about....

Guest040616 · 07-23-2015, 09:17 PM

I am looking forward to the season. Barring injuries, the D should be better than last year. That alone should put them in playoff contention.

As for the offense, it's anybody's guess. I believe Mallott has the most upside at the QB position. If he can play consistently at a high level, the rest of the pieces should fall in place. Otherwise, it will probably be a long year on the offensive side of the ball.

Win, lose or draw ... Go Texans!

Satin · 07-23-2015, 11:47 PM

They said The Clown is healthy and good to go. I'll believe it when I see it. I hope he proves me wrong. I don't think he's gonna be the star they thought he would be.

Anyone get training camp tickets? Fuckers sold out in 6 minutes...😂

I'm looking forward to going....🏈

Don't be surprised if Clowney ends up on the PUP list which will keep him out the first six games. Everyone is talking about how good he looks but he's way ahead of schedule at this point. We all know the Texans aren't going to take any chances if there is any doubt.
