The Earl of Texas

I’m just relieved BOB has to answer to someone now. Accountability is key.

Reveling in all of these fans misery is amazing. I’ll be sad to see this off-season end.

At this time yeah only the one third rounder. I’ve read we almost definitely expect a compensatory pick due to free agent activity.

No, I think it’s more of a don’t meltdown and cry, and lash out, when you have a loose grip on the facts kind of thing.

What’s a “yes yes”? /baylor

Kid nailed the Leach impression

This thread is going great

Wanted McGuire, that sucks. Baylor’s going to be good, but this is about us getting back to where we’re supposed to be, and if Yurcich and Ash can do that, Baylor doesn’t factor in.

Texans have $60M to work with in cap space, but that number is inflated if we extend Deshaun which people expect to happen. We will also need to sign Tunsil to avoid the mega hit from his 5th year option and undo the potential disaster of trading multiple first round picks away without getting a long-term commitment in return. Mr. Bill doesn't seem to like to sign expensive FAs, so I imagine Tunsil and Deshaun will get taken care of, and we'll sign a ton of fillers to augment our woeful draft picks. Texans D was 28th against the pass. This is two fold - our secondary underperformed and our pass rush is abysmal. Texans D was 25th against the rush as well. So, very likely we will need to sign a 3-4 DE and a 3-4 OLB or ILB who will be able to improve both run stop and pass rush - not the easiest things to find, and we need to find at least two. Hopefully Jacob Martin can cement an OLB spot and allow us to add quality depth instead of searching for a starter. We will need to add both a CB and a S as well. While our secondary is young and showed some promise this year, they need depth and most likely an experienced add in at least one of these positions. Hopefully, change of DC will bring a change of scheme that will resolve some obvious schematic issues, but the bottom line is talent must be added and it must contribute quickly. It is both a good draft and good FA pool for secondary, DEs and OLBs will be harder to come by but we do have the advantage of competing for talent against fewer 3-4 teams than there are 4-3 teams. Texans O was obviously the bright spot, but needs improvement. OL needs help, but watching the team this year, I think we all noticed a lot of sacks in this campaign were not on the O-Line, still somewhere that needs improvement, but it improved this year and is reasonably expected to improve again. Tunsil was a well deserved Pro Bowler, but Max Scharping and Tytus Howard were both very good in their rookie campaigns. We need OL depth so expect a FA and a draft pick to be used. Lamar Miller and Carlos Hyde both are FAs, price per production between the two is not even close so expect to re-sign Hyde, his combo with Duke Johnson was very effective and frankly he's just a tougher back than Miller and mroe fit to our scheme. We picked up the 5th year option on Will Fuller, and god knows why at this point, but he will be back, and with Stills emerging and some depth there, I doubt we will pursue anything further at WR unless we draft Fuller's replacement, which would be a good idea - if all we need oyu to do is take the top off of the D, great speed with unpolished skills can be found late in the draft. TE... I mean, who fucking knows. I like the guys we have and they produced fine for what they are and what they were asked to do, but we're the Texans so expect no fewer than all 7 draft picks used on TEs. Our personnel needs, coupled with the FA pool and our draft situation, will tell us a lot about Mr. Bill and his Who's' On First GM experiment. While this might depress you, remember, we had what could be argued as the worst GM in NFL history for more than a decade, so it's not even our low point. Yes, it was a horrible end to the season, but we won the division and won a playoff game and about 20+ teams would trade places with us hot-quick so it's not all bad. Draft picks are as follows: 2nd Round (57) 3rd Round (90) 3rd Round (Unknown at this time, but we will likely receive a compensatory pick here) 4th round (from Miami) 4th Round 5th Round 7th Round

Wouldn’t bother me if they let Carrington do his thing, then announce the hire.

You guys are monuments to patience, so I knew you would enjoy this tweet.

Suh was the reason our offense sucked in that game. It is very rare to see one guy tear an entire team apart, but that is what he did that evening. He was a man amongst boys.

FUCK

That is the sound of Oregon licking their fucking chops.

The guy who should be fired is firing people. That’s ideal.

KC is on another level this year. Good for them, that fan base has been waiting on the edge for a long time. Andy Reid is a boss.

It’s a good hire, but he’s worked with nothing but superb talent. We’ll see.

Surly: Herman doesn’t interview ANYONE. He does no due diligence. *Herman interviews a potential hire described in a tweet as due diligence* Surly: *grown men crying*

Bummer

Hole 14, Par 5. Nailed the drive, nailed a 3-wood , 30 foot putt. Couldn’t believe it!

Last year I took my first putting lesson and took a swing lesson with the camera. Putting is an no-brainer and I should’ve done it years ago. 2 or 3 strokes off the game right there. But the swing/camera but was a revelation. I could’ve had someone tell me a hundred times what I was doing ‘wrong’ but until I saw it on camera, it didn’t register. So cool. Left arm straight, hands out and away from the body. Good shit.

Shot my personal best, 83, and bagged my first eagle on the new Memorial Park course in Houston. Really fucking pumped about both.

Well, you’re dumb.

This guy was a fucking idiot before he took hit one.
