  1. The sign of a mediocre team is the inability to close out a close game. A bunch of one run losses are still losses. The OL is still trash and DW will be near dead at the end of the year if they don't improve. The secondary is bottom third in the league and the DL is trash outside of JJ. All in all, it adds up to another 9-7 year and a first round exit in the playoffs.

  2. If Tunsil is as good as advertised, then the Texans can put together a decent line for DW. Stills is ok but more importantly he’s durable unlike Fuller and Coutee. The firsts would have been probably wasted anyway, e.g. Howard instead of Dillard. Their terrible draft this year is what led to this trade.

    Dude isn't going to sit out the season and miss out on $15M.  He is going to sign, and then he is going to either play his ass off for the Texans in effort to get a payday/get a contender willing to trade for him or he will immediately be traded at the Texans discretion. Clowney has zero leverage in the situation, unless he is willing to forgo $15M, which I do not believe he is.  That is the reason he fired his agent.

    That's why this is a lose-lose for everyone. JC might miss a couple of games but probably won't be in aerobic football shape for a few weeks and the team won't get anything of near value for him. I put the onus squarely on the team management.

  4. Clowney is a hell of a player who takes some plays off. That being said, he's easily a pro bowl player and BOB and Cal completely screwed up the situation. Now the team has no leverage and they won't get anything near value for a player of Clowney's caliber. Not only that, but his absence will expose the mediocrity of the DL, regardless of what the team calls him, he's a lineman. Teams will double or triple JJ and the rest of the line will do nothing to pressure the QB. He's a real loss and while the OL is trash, DW's career will be cut short or he'll be ineffective and fans will blame him. A total cluster by the team, and I find it hard to believe they're the favorites for the South. I think the Jags win the division easily.

    Would be only the 6th team to do it


    Philadelphia A's 1929-31
    St. Louis Cardinals 1942-44
    Baltimore Orioles 1969-71
    Atlanta Braves 1997-99
    New York Yankees 2002-04

    And the only one with more than 1 WS championship in those time frames was the A's. We'll see.
