  1. I heard somewhere - it might have been OTF - that the Broncos are enamored with Blue and might be willing to reach a bit for him to avoid missing out on him when their pick comes around again. That would be a good fit.
  2. Let’s go get ‘em!
  3. Good luck with that. We’ll keep the portal light on for you.
  4. I’m stunned. i’m pissed. It’s Dawn Staley.
  5. I disagree. You should always try to help people. Be kind. Instead of saying "Fuck Off," ask "how can I help you Fuck Off?"
  6. I've seen Collins as high as the back half of the first. Lots of folks linking him to the Steelers. As @TonyTexas pointed out, I doubt Banks gets past Houston @ 25. The real question is whether Houston would trade up to grab Banks if he slid past the Dolphins.
  7. I believe this is why - like him or not - it’s pointless to keep him. What does next year’s roster look like? How do the incoming recruits stack up? Is there even a whiff of any potential splash “gets” via NIL? RT won’t win with a roster that’s worse than the current one and he doesn’t seem capable of improving it himself, so what’s the point in keeping him?
  8. ^ Texans add Frank Okam to the staff as assistant defensive line coach
  9. Absolutely. Players are being marginalized more and more in recruiting rankings because they don't project well to the NFL. There is too much emphasis on NFL measurables, prototype sizes, and future draft stock rather than focusing on what makes a player successful in college football. Shifting the focus from college impact to speculative pro projection has become more common and problematic with recruiting services. The obsession has distorted the recruiting process. Highly rated recruits with high NFL ceilings are prioritized by "idiots" over players who possess the skills and instincts necessary to immediately contribute in college. It's across every position. Offensive linemen who excel in zone-heavy spread schemes in high school are devalued in favor of massive tackles with long-term NFL potential. Cornerbacks who would dominate in a college zone system are downgraded because they don’t fit the NFL’s man-heavy defenses. This misalignment has created a disconnect between recruiting rankings and actual success on the field in college. Texas still brings in plenty of highly ranked recruits, but our staff has at least shown a clear willingness to prioritize players who fit the system and culture—rather than just chasing NFL prototypes that the idiots obsess over. Sarkisian is proving that you can develop NFL talent while still focusing on what wins in college.
  10. Reed Robinson my high school English teacher. Great guy.
  11. Through mock drafts I've been screwing around with, I've noticed that trading down to accumulate extra picks doesn't seem to pay off this year. The talent pool at critical positions is limited, making it essential to secure impact players when possible. More picks in this draft don’t necessarily translate to more talent. With the Texans, whether targeting an interior offensive lineman or a receiver in the first round, there’s a notable drop-off in talent by the time they pick again in the second. Trading up in the second round could be the right move to land an immediate contributor at both positions.
  12. That's next for me. Catch you on your follow-up.
  13. I'm hoping for the best and preparing for whatever happens. I’ve had multiple shoulder and knee procedures at Carrell Clinic, and I was there in August. Some involved in Baxter’s pre-op and post-op believed his injury was more severe than disclosed, with August 2025 being an optimistic recovery timeline. No one is counting him out, but wouldn’t be surprised if he’s not ready for Ohio State.
