Offensive Line

The problem is Smith has missed games over recent seasons. Not so much earlier in his career. I'm not against bringing him in on a one year deal. Just not on a 3-4 year deal given his injury history.

I'm out on Ingram, I've got a thing about a guy who underperforms and then plays well in a contract year.

 

take it with a grain of salt but I heard through a friend Trent Williams wants to come home if he can't resolve the contract issue with the 49ers. He lives here in the offseason.

 

5

5-years too late. Wanted him instead of Tunsil.

 

I don't want the lazy eyed GM making any draft evaluations on any players outside of the secondary. I would rather like Mel Kiper's hair pick -- Mr. New England is THAT bad.

 

Caserio and the New England people have been living off of Tom Brady and the coaching of Dante Scarnecchia for a while now.

 

Really?

If CJ hadn't screwed the bed the Texans would have been in the SB, instead the Pats were in the SB. Tell me how that's living off of Brady/Scarnecchia? Just tell us you're a hater of all things Foxboro and move on.

 

New England bootlickers on a Houston message board are a trip. I invite you to survey the coaches who came from New England:

• Josh McDaniels: (Broncos/Raiders) Fired twice, with a 20-33 overall record.
• Matt Patricia: (Lions) Compiled a 13-29-1 record.
• Romeo Crennel: (Browns/Chiefs/Texans) Had a 32-63 record.
• Eric Mangini: (Jets/Browns) Compiled a 33-47 record.
• Joe Judge: (Giants) Compiled a 10-23 record.
• Al Groh: (Jets) Had a 9-7 record (one season).

The two most successful were Bill O'Brien and Brian Flores- they were both barely above .500.

I will give you Mike Vrabel (and a sweet last place schedule) but he was never a coach under Belichek.

 

Yeah, Caserio was good at Belichik's assistant. So good that he drafted Vrabel.

 

Caserio drafted Stroud and Caserio is the one that has played a big part in the development of Stroud as well.

I don't think Caserio is the worst GM, but I do believe that they can do better.

 

Hannah and the fan council drafted CJ, Caserio and Meco are left with the mess to cleanup. IMHO

 

Which is the best option:

(A)
Howard
Ingram (re-signed)
Andrews
Pregnon (pick 28 or 38)
Ersery

or

(B)
Iheanachor (pick 28)
Howard
Andrews
Pregnon (pick 38)
Ersery

or

(C)
Braden Smith (fa)
Rutledge (pick 69)
Andrews
Howard
Ersery

or

(D)
Howard
Rutledge (pick 69)
Andrews
Zion Johnson (fa)
Ersery

I think I'd go with B. Its risky having multiple rookies on the Oline but I think the Texans would have 3 long term pieces in place going that route. I think theyd likely need to sign some depth pieces (maybe Trent Brown and a veteran OG along with Patterson and Fisher?). Id like to upgrade the C spot but I dont see a perfect fit cost wise or talent wise (maybe a late pick like Coogan or Logan Jones?). IDK. What do you guys think?

 

The 2026 is the best draft for interior linemen that I've seen in the last 15 years. There is an abundance of Day 2 and early Day 3 interior lineman. Even better is the fact that your getting more experienced prospects as most of them are 5th and 6th year seniors.

Need to replace Andrews as starting C

 

B. But I'm not a fan of Pregnon.

I also like D because I'm a big Rutledge fan.

 

Casserio thinks he's signing Mays for $7M he's really on that dope.

 

Yr 1: $7M
Yr 2: $9M
Yr 3: $11.5M
Yr 4: $14.5M
