I posted elsewhere before the season that Lassiter at +6600 for this award was nice value. Now he's down to +800 to +900

 

 

 

What do you think are the team's problems offensively? Just the O-line?

60% OL execution, 20% coordinating, 20% injuries (Mixon, Dell, banged up OL)

What we just did to Jacksonville is what literally every other team used to do to us over and over again. We'd be up and controlling 90% of the game only to watch it melt away in the last 4 minutes. That wasn't a fun game, but it was nice to be on the delivering end of that outcome for once, rather than the receiving end. 

 

maybe it all comes together for a game and we beat the shit out of Buffalo? Or not...

Watching the Falcons tonight made me ponder how the drafts might’ve worked out differently if Watson stuck to his original choice to be traded to Atlanta. The reported deal was either 3 #1’s and a #2, or 3 #1’s and a premium starter (rumors included CB AJ Terrell or TE Kyle Pitts).

In 2022, Texans had #3 (Stingley) and Falcons #8 (choice of Garrett Wilson,  Chris Olave, or Drake London). Falcons 2nd rounder was #43 (pick before Metchie).

In 2023, Falcons picked #8 again (Bijan, Jalen Carter also on the board). *Also in 2023, Texans gave up #33 to get Will Anderson, and the Cards-Lions-Titans trade the pick ended up being TE Sam LaPorta).

In 2024, Falcons picked #8 again (QB Penix, but Odunze, 2 OTs, and Byron Murphy were picked in that area). *Texans also gave up #27 to get Will Anderson, which was DE Darius Robinson but Worthy was very next pick). **Texans traded Browns’ pick #23 (WR Brian Thomas) for Kamari Lassiter and one year rental Stephon Diggs.

 

So from the Browns and Will Anderson trades, the Texans acquired:

Kenyon Green,

John Metchie,

Will Anderson Jr.,

Kamari Lassiter,

1 year of Diggs. 
 

The Falcons trade (and not doing Will Anderson trade) could’ve netted them:

Garrett Wilson,

John Metchie, (or AJ Terrell or Kyle Pitts)

Bijan Robinson or Jalen Carter, 

Sam LaPorta,

Odunze or Byron Murphy or OT

DE Darius Robinson or Xavier Worthy


Getting CJ weapons such as Wilson, Bijan, LaPorta, maybe Worthy along with Byron Murphy or an OT would be fun to watch. Swap out Terrell or Pitts for Metchie and damn! Kenyon Green sucks, Diggs is a rental, so hopefully Anderson and Lassiter play well enough to make it equal or better to the ATL offer.

With all of the injuries and Von’s suspension, the Bills defense has been pretty decimated. Advantage Texans. 

We'll see if Houston still has issues running the ball

Mixon missing another game is the gamble you take with an old RB. Damn.

High ankle sprains take awhile for any age of RB

It was a hip drop tackle which is illegal now. Wasn't called but it was a textbook example of one

In light of where WR1 contracts went late in the offseason, Collins’ at $24M/yr was quite the bargain

 

love seeing a smart and agressive front office
