Glad we got our monthly "How are Deshaun & J.J. doing?" questions in. See you again in June. Speaking on Good Morning Football, Texans coach Bill O'Brien said Deshaun Watson (ACL) is "on schedule to participate in training camp." It is not a surprise considering O'Brien said Watson could end up getting in some work during OTAs, but it is still good news. Coming off an early-November ACL tear, it looks like Watson will be 100 percent well before Week 1. He carries some injury risk, but Watson also carries No. 1 overall quarterback upside. Speaking on Good Morning Football, Texans coach Bill O'Brien said he is "not at all" concerned about J.J. Watt's (knee) health. Watt has played just eight games in the last two seasons because of a back injury in 2016 and a left tibial plateau fracture last year. Still, his coach is not concerned. "I would never bet against J.J Watt," O'Brien said. "He's going to be back, he's going to be at full strength, and he's going to help us win a lot of games." Watt has said he feels "great" and expects to be ready for training camp. No one wants to be yelled at like Tania so they ask him the same questions every time they see him. Tania left to cover the Lakers.
I bet the hoody could make Miller into a weapon with that speed and ability to catch the ball in open space instead of using him as a crash dummy inside the tackles. He's the prototype that NE looks for in backs. Hmmm.. but no influence there. And we didn't even start throwing to the running backs until Watson showed up. That's almost 4 years. 3 years for the TEs to get consistently involved. Running backs and TEs are security blankets/ Allen was "versatility" over brooks who blasted fools in the zone scheme. I wonder what team out East likes for their guards to play up and down the line. They didn't even play him at the Guard spot he played in KC. Brock? I got nothing, jerry! except it was worth the risk. troubling times called for desperate measures and it led to Watson. Thanks to my compadre Mr. Mcnair, who after watching Hoyer 'perform' in the playoffs, kept reiterating we need a franchise qb. Otherwise, we'd be looking at some other "bridge" QB. It would have been interesting had Rick not drafted watson for mr mcnair, if the chowder heads would have traded us Jimmy. Both have what it takes to be special.
I'm still not sold on Miller, Foreman, and Blue. Any reason the Texans have not taken a look at Alfred Morris?
Well, because he's not very good, that's why. I think Foreman is done, I don't think Blue is anything special, but Miller is considerably better than Morris.
