    My advice: pay the Adams whatever the fuck they want to get the Oilers name back.  They can keep records.  We get name and uniforms.   Profit.   I have a hard time getting into the Texa

  • They could have drafted Cody Ford or Greg Little. NO BRAINER picks.  But no. They pick some project from nowhere. They’re trying to be the smartest guys in the room when you don’t have to

lol...it’s a glitch in the Matrix, or at least Tapatalk. I think if you close your phone before it’s finished posting your reply it will post it a few times.

Sounds like you're missing the rest of the trade details.

Why would they trade this year's 1st rounder, the same one they traded up for, for a 3rd?

 

It would have been the Texans 1st rounder and a 3rd to trade up 1 spot to get Dillard. The Texans took the TE from San Diego State with that pick.

Is Howard even playing tackle?

Most of his snaps have been at LG. The Texans OL was bad from LT to RT last year.

Exactly. That’s pretty fucked up to take a tackle with a first round pick that can’t get in the field as a tackle.

Welcome to BOB world ladies and gentlemen.

So Howard as essentially put up similar statistics to Dillard, and you are advocating giving away another 3rd round pick? This team shouldn't be giving away draft picks, when there are as many holes on the team that there are.

I would have given it up to get a LT that is ready to go right now and has the pedigree of playing in a P5 program in a passing heavy offense instead of grabbing a guy from a no-name school like Alabama State who should have gone in the 2nd-3rd round to a team that could have brought him along slowly. I am not saying that Howard can't become a player but the reports I am reading about from Seth Payne and others are that he is not ready to start at LT in the NFL. Gaine drafted too many projects and not sure things like Dillard who is already rated highly by PFF. Warring and Lonnie Johnson are making me nervous too. If Dillard has a season like Quenton Nelson did last year as a rookie for the Colts, we will all be shaking our fists. BOB showing his cunty, thin-skinned personality yesterday while being asked about Matt Kalil's injury status. He can't be that stupid to have him on the 53 man roster much less as our LT or can he.

Great and now we got Miller hurt. We hurt more starters in the preseason than any other team.

Might be a season ender 

Can we go ahead and just hit the restart button?

Is Duke a decent blocker?

Looks like I’ll get my wish to see more Buddy Howell this season.

Fuck the pre-season 

Fuck the front office, ownership and everything associated with how this franchise is run. Gonna be a shame to waste the careers of potential all-time greats like DHop and Watson, in addition to the lack of true team success for Watt. 

What w/l record will finally rid us of buttchin. 8-8, 7-9, or nothing matters and we’re stuck with this Buffoon regardless?

Brian T Smith had a good column this week about how stupid and pointless the NFL preseason is. College football, where the regular season is the most important of any sport doesn’t have a preseason. Get rid of this farce. Fuck Bill O’Brien in the ass. Piece of shit joke of a coach.

I’v been making this point for years. Even in high school, you have one controlled scrimmage against another team and that’s it. Knock it down to one preseason game and start the damn season

Uh . . . in high school in Texas you're allowed one intersquad scrimmage and 2 against other schools before the regular season.

I didn’t know they added a 2nd scrimmage. It used to always be one. The inter squad series kinda goes without saying

If they go from 20 games to 17, they’ll just have to prorate the lost revenue on the 3 into 17. Including tv and advertising. Tall hill to climb.

They’re probably just going to add two regular season games and replace those last two preseason games for regular season games. I don’t see how that wouldn’t happen during the next CBA

They have talked about that format for years. With all of the hand wringing over health issues, I see fewer preseason without adding regular season games.

I played my HS ball from 85-89 and it was always 1 intersquad and 2 vs other teams.  It has been that way since too.  I don't know how far you're going back, but that's 30 plus years it's been done this way at least.

I was in high school from 2003-2007 in the Austin area and the SA area. We only played one scrimmage before “zero” week every year. Every year against the same team, actually. 

AFC South is up for grabs with the Andrew Luck retirement. Go get an RB that doesn't suck.

Interesting.  I can tell you with absolute certainty that Brenham has scrimmaged 2 opponents a year since my time.  And they have played zero week games almost every year it's been allowed also.

Then start the damn season on the 1st Sunday in September, always

The preseason is all about making season ticket holders buy more tickets. Plain and simple.

It covers more than just Houston 

BO’B has methodically run this talent window into the ground. Fire his ass now, promote Romeo to HC for the season, get someone to call, or let Watson call the plays. In any case, remove the buffoon Belichik wannabe never will be.

Preseason means less than nothing, injuries aside, but Andrew Luck retiring is the biggest move this team has made since Peyton Manning left Indy

Preseason games need to go away.  Otherwise fewer preseason games and have a running clock till last 5 minutes of each half...

Absolutely. However, if anyone has any confidence in the current Texans set-up, your club is getting smaller. I would be both shocked and gruntled for a winning season with wild card chances. I have 0 confidence in BO’B’s “leadership”. Will be more than satisfied to be completely off base here.

This franchise has lost to the likes of Tolzien, Orlovsky and Brissett on the Colts. 

I’ll be shocked if this team wins more than 5 games.

Yep, just have scrimmages for a couple of weeks, and then start the season. This is something that the players should really fight over. The only people making money in pre-season are the owners.

Watch for the overreaction and BOB the GM give up a first rounder for Melvin Gordon. 

Cal needs to be making as many inroads as possible to get Lincoln Riley and Dave Aranda sewn up before Week 17.
