    Coach Taylor had the same threats. They even fired his hot wife because they had an axe to grind against her, y'all. What does Coach Taylor do? win state with kids that had never played organized football! The McCoys have more character than this bellicheat wannabe. Stop trying to be Bellicheat when all you have are division titles. Clear eyes, full heart! What this dumbazz have, "don't take the cheese. Do your job." all stolen from Bill Parcells. Not even original.
    hmm my autocorrect placed another word instead of "titles"

    (how many fnl refs can one guy make)

    OB labeled this the "Deshaun Watson Era" when talking about the #Texans.

    — patrick (@PatDStat) April 16, 2020

    #Texans HC/GM Bill O’Brien: "We have more Pro Bowlers, more players that have played in Super Bowls and we are in a good place relative to where we are in the season."

    — Landry Locker (@LandryLocker) April 16, 2020

    #Texans O'Brien-"If you look back to last July/August, I don't think many thought some of the moves we made would've worked out the way they worked out." Cites Hydes' 1000 yd season, Martin's big sack & Duke Johnson's huge 3rd down conversion in Buffalo game. Conley making plays

    — Adam Wexler (@AdamJWexler) April 16, 2020

    O'Brien said the #Texans "tried very hard" to keep D.J. Reader.

    #Texans HC/GM Bill O’Brien: Praises Hopkins, says relative to contracts and salary it made sense. Says they got a great deal with Arizona and is excited about David Johnson, expects Nuk to do well in Arizona.

    — Landry Locker (@LandryLocker) April 16, 2020

    O'Brien: "I don't think you replace Hopkins. Every year is different. This year's offense will be totally different than last year's offense … We feel really good offensively right now with our personnel and what we're going to be able to do." #Texans

    #Texans HC/GM Bill O’Brien: Calls David Johnson a three-down back and says he’s had many productive years.

    — Landry Locker (@LandryLocker) April 16, 2020

    On Hopkins trade: #Texans O’Brien says we made a "really good deal." Respect for Hop is apparent but also likes 40th pick in addition to Johnson at RB.

    — Greg Bailey (@GregBailey13) April 16, 2020

    O'Brien referencing that a long-term deal with Hopkins and Cardinals seems imminent: "They're going to have to adjust his contract in Arizona. I think you'll see that whenever that ends up happening."#Texans

    OB calls his WR group a "diverse" one. Talks about all of them including Keke Coutee and DeAndre Carter. #Texans

    — patrick (@PatDStat) April 16, 2020

    #Texans O’Brien on Cooks: he brings a lot. Speed and yards per catch. Knows about concussions but notes he’s only missed two games because of them.

    — Greg Bailey (@GregBailey13) April 16, 2020

    #Texans coach Bill O'Brien says there are four ways to build a team: free agency, offseason trades, the draft, training camp (joint practices), pre-trade deadline.

    — Mark Lane (@therealmarklane) April 16, 2020

    O'Brien: "I truly believe this is a veteran type of year." Said it will be more challenging than normal for rookies and young players, because of coronavirus-related time restrictions. #Texans

    #Texans O'Brien mentions his long-standing relationship with Cardinals Steve Keim (going back to Penn St) in discussions about Johnson's injury status. That he felt good about their "good faith" negotiations. Johnson passed his physical yesterday with "flying colors" O'Brien said

    — Adam Wexler (@AdamJWexler) April 16, 2020

    O'Brien said there were about 150-200 phone calls involved in the trade that brought Laremy Tunsil to Houston. #Texans

    — Brian T. Smith (@ChronBrianSmith) April 16, 2020



    O'Brien says the Cooks trade was done from his back porch, with Jack Easterby by his side. Referenced many phone calls and e-mails. #Texans

    — SportsRadio 610 (@SportsRadio610) April 16, 2020

    O'Brien mentions the #Texans use Russell Joyner, the Director of Football Information Systems, to help predict and research players, contracts, and more.

    Mentions Kevin Krajcovic helping a lot with contracts.

    O’Brien: "You see fans who are upset that DeAndre is not here anymore … but that move was done with relevance for what’s best for our football team heading into next year." #Texans

    — SportsRadio 610 (@SportsRadio610) April 16, 2020

    #Texans players are doing FaceTime with the head strength and conditioning coach, according to O’Brien. He reference Nick Martin’s garage weight room at his house.

    — SportsRadio 610 (@SportsRadio610) April 16, 2020

    O'Brien on CB position: "Excited about secondary, we are a diverse group. Roby has versatility he brings inside/outside, man, zone. Last year traded for Conley. Lonnie Johnson is doing a great job." #Texans

    Lonnie Johnson did not do a great job. Unless he was playing for the other team.

    O'Brien asked if he talked to Deshaun Watson about Hopkins: "Any conversation, with all due respect, I keep between myself and the player. I'll say we communicated a lot with Deshaun during this time. He's doing a great job of working out, staying in shape." #Texans

    — SportsRadio 610 (@SportsRadio610) April 16, 2020

    The #Texans coordinators and position coaches are submitting their ranked prospect lists to O'Brien saying that his coordinators have "had a lot of input in the draft".

    — SportsRadio 610 (@SportsRadio610) April 16, 2020


    O’Brien won’t talk about specific conversations with Deshaun regarding Hopkins trade. But says they’ve "communicated a lot." Adds Deshaun is excited with new look offense. #Texans

    Why in the Fire O'Brien thread instead of the offseason thread?

    O’Brien was asked by @McClain_on_NFL about the Michael Irvin report that mentioned a conversation between Hopkins and O’Brien in which he compared Hop to Aaron Hernandez. O’Brien’s response: "No comment." #Texans #NFL

    — Tyler Milner (@tmilrealdeal) April 16, 2020

    O'Brien asked about TE Kahale Warring. Says he's really excited about his future, "he's a hardworking talent … and I think he's going to be a real talent for us." #Texans
