I mean a good chunk of the larger sites are owned by developers and absolutely will have vertical mixed-use built on them. Just need the capital markets to loosen a bit.

2024 Houston Texans off-season thread
We have Nico for another year. Then we can worry about paying him. Assuming he doesn’t flame out next year the dude is going to get paid as a #1. If he produces again, we should be the team to pay and keep him. We have pass rushers, assuming we sign/tag Greenard. We need DB help (speed), we need interior DT help, we need interior OL help (maybe OL health takes care of that), we need WR depth, and we need RB depth/speed.

We have our two edges. We need to resign Greenard. Interior DL, Interior OL, DB (speed) are areas in need of upgrade. That said if Keon Coleman is there at our pick in the 1st, I don’t know how you don’t take him. Lets see how FA goes first and the. Use the draft to gain BPA.

Need some interior OL help. We were down a ton of bodies there this season, but could not move anyone with a quality dline. Shaq Mason was solid, need another proven interior vet to go with the young guys. If we can get a run game going, even if it’s just “average” our offense will be top 5 in the league. Need a player at safety, someone with speed and ball skills. Petrie isn’t it. Had two chances to make plays on the 1st drive of the 2nd half and could do either. He is one dimensional. We need help at DT. Maybe someone like Murphy. We need an interior guy that can get pressure as our ends are going to cause so many step up’s. Need an answer at RB to replace or go with Singletary. I would like to get some more speed at corner as well. We seemed slow on defense. I have confidence we will get more folks willing to play with us on prove it deals just like this year but more and of higher quality. Finally a capable GM, paired with a competent and likable coach, with a franchise QB. The future is bright.

Well the trust that Janice technically controls, owns the Texans and Carls business interest. This could be him ensuring his business is protected secured as much as anything related to actual control of the Texans. We shall see.

2024 PGA Tour
I think he played great. He got extremely unlucky landing in a huge divot and his slight mishit off the tee box resulted in an extremely unlucky bunker lie. -27 and in 3rd… while making some solid putts and being in contention through 18 seems like a pretty good start of the season.

It also not like the ball was uncatchable. That is a 100% a catch if the DB doesn’t scale AD with an arm around his neck and bat the ball down. Could the throw have been better? Yes. Could AD have used his height and frame better? Yes.

This one I don’t agree with. The field is even more compressed and trafficked at the 6. Maybe there could be an argument made in normal game situations where you could theoretically have the threat of running the ball…. But in a must pass situation I would take more “space” (within reason of course) every time. I do think we should have stressed the middle/wide side a play or to - use QE’s arm strength and force them to defend the entire field.

You also are not allowed to face guard in the NFL and you are in college. It’s a different game, with different rules and different technique's. Physicality at the line depends on scheme and individual physical ability (strength / recover speed). We were playing 3 NFL receivers with an NFL QB who was extremely hot - I mean some of the passes Penix was dropping in were incredible. There was not much more we could do there. Penix’s mobility in the pocket was fantastic and if a couple of our pressures landed or if MM didn’t cut hit fingernails things might have gone a different way.

And nobody coaches it…. Unless you are in a controlling position, ie on top of the receiver, or at the very least, truly even is the only time you look and not a moment before. You can not run fast with your head turned backwards. There are more issues with our guys getting confused by shift/alignment and not getting lined up than “man coverage” technique. Its a tiresome trope at this point.

Technically yes, in reality they won't offset all the way over to the middle but will offset a bit and move an extra blocker over.
