Phillip Buchanon Released

[SamFisher]

This will turn things around.

So ends another giant texans waste.

[RocketManJosh]

Well deserved

[The Real Shady]

Worst GM ever.

[ima_drummer2k]

Unbelievable. Like Dunta said, couldn't we have at least shopped him? If we get a 6th round pick, it's better than releasing him.

Anyway, it seems like one of Casserly's decisions is getting cut every week.

I guess one positive is that Faggins is coming back. Pretty bad when you're looking forward to an average player like Faggins coming back to save your secondary....

[AzCkR]

Could we have gotten anything in return for him? If so, this move isn't too smart either. The Texans management under Cass might've be the worst in all of sports. Well, maybe better than the Knicks, but that's not saying much.

[Xenon]

The guy was a pretty good punt returner at least. Oh well. Not like it really matters at this point in the season. Are we entering tank mode already?

[The Real Shady]

Why would another team give the Texans anything for this guy? He couldn't cover anyone and we were the only fools who traded the Raiders for him.

[Saint Louis]

You'll know the Texans are in tank mode if they lose to the Raiders.

[rocketfan83]

I was excited when we got him but thats about all the excitment he brought me.
Good luck Phillip..

Jason babin you might be next.

[Faos]

Will Mathis be back soon?

[ima_drummer2k]

Jason babin you might be next.
That's exactly what I was thinking. Does that guy have a tackle this year? Sheesh, what a bum. Great 1st round draft pick, Casserly.

[Tonaaayyyy]

BOUT TIME!

[Hippieloser]

Do you think if we built another new stadium we could get a new team?

[JaWindex]

Another one bites the dust! Ah, how I love Cass... :p

[updawg]

Amazing.

Yeah ... I can't even watch the CBS pre-game anymore because I can't stand the segment they have with him every week like he is some sort of guru or something.

I honestly think they should petition the league for another expansion draft... hell, plenty of teams would like to get rid of some veterans on their team in exchange for some good players (the package expansion deals)... would be a good deal, if we're allowed to keep 5 players (Mario, Spencer, DeMeco, AJ, Dunta).

Its sad when you'd actually be IMPROVED by an expansion draft, + one solid draft. Right now, all we've got is this past year's draft of Mario, DeMeco, and Spencer/Winston... that is they type of draft they should have had in year 1, not in year 5.

Thanks again Casserly... people will be seeing the effect of his regime on Houston for years... wouldn't suprise me if CBS canned him, let alone he never gets another GM job again.

I can understand Capers...but what on earth would lead you to that conclusion about Kubiak (being clueless). Come back with that when he purges the rest of Capers and Casserly's mistakes, the team is still sucking and you might have a reason for it.

But I think you'll see this team take off once they actually get NFL quality players (aside from the few they have).

[rocketfan83]

That's exactly what I was thinking. Does that guy have a tackle this year? Sheesh, what a bum. Great 1st round draft pick, Casserly.

I think Babin is gone eventually than what about Travis Johnson???

Casserly is unreal. He's on a whole new level below terrible.

WTF is that, how does he have so much pull.

[xiki]

Way to go, Charley. And keep going far you butox.

[nigma2000]

Houston to LA " uh you can have this team, it was meant to be yours 5 years ago. It's OK we will wait for the next expansion round"

The Raiders organization is considered the bottom of the barrel. Where does that leave the local heroes?

I am shocked he got released :eek:

He was a good PR....after that, he flat out sucked. What a waste.

Atleast Cass house is being cleaned up.

:mad: :mad: :mad: Damn that really makes me mad they let him go. :mad: :mad: That screws up my madden i had him a free safety, now when they update the rosters i lose him and Morency. Crap im gonna look for a new team

[rhino17]

There is no way they couldnt have gotten like a 6th round pick for this guy. Jeses, 2 years ago we gave away and 2nd and 3rd rounder for this bum and now he's apparently now he's worth absolutly nothing? unbelievable. What a stupid move. Thanks a lot Charlie.

If this many Houston fans are saying "good riddance", etc. to a guy we all knew was washed up, and we all knew was a liability... why would ANY team give ANYTHING up for him?

Also, who says they didn't try to see if anybody wanted him?

We were the idiots that gave up 2nd and 3rd round picks for him... the question is, would any other team have made that mistake?

[moestavern19]

I loved P-Buc in his 1st 2 seasons. I thought he was a legit star in the making.

Then something just happened, he got a big head... full of himself.

There is one play that will forever live in imfamy in my mind.

The Raiders were playing Detroit I think back in 04, after Gannon was injured and Tui was in. The Lions looked to throw and the Raiders dropped into a zone. Buchanon saw 265 pound FB Corey Schlesinger coming his way out of the backfield. Schlesinger just kept running and blew right past him and caught a touchdown in the back of the end zone.

I could never view him the same way again. Forget the 5 touchdowns in his first 2 seasons (some kind of a record for a DB) I mean if you can't play your ****ing position get off the field.

Raiders current starting MLB Kirk Morrison is what the Raiders got for unloading his ass to Casserly.

I remember loving the trade while some of you guys acted like you had just traded for Deion Sanders in his prime.

But I'm not here to gloat, The Raiders are the worst team in the NFL right now and the Texans at least have a future.

Especially now that Asserly is not making decisions.

[xiki]

Even without cASSerly the future is...in the future.

[TMac#1]

This team needs so many players..... :(

#1 or #2 CB, #1 RB, 2 starting safeties, an OLB and more help on the o-line. Gonna take a long time..... we have a team full of practice squadders. A lot of these guys like Buchanon and CC Brown or Earl or Dayne or Lewis Sanders have no business being on an NFL roster.

[Summer Song Giver]

Hard to believe he wasn't good enough to help otu the weakest part of this team, and at worst with Mathis out, he was our BEST returner.

I watched about half of the first quarter and then I switched over to the Phi vs NO. Much better football over there, watching us get rolled by Dallas was not going to happen, every team Dallas has played this year has rocked Bledsoe and we got zero pressure on him all game long, what did we have to lose, why didn't we sell out to the blitz. Sad to say but that game was the same old ultra conservative Capers-Palemr driven garbage. I'm pretty much done with this team and it pains me to say but the are not worthy of my time until they can show some kind of fire and consistency other than being consistently bad.

The fans had they picked who we wanted them to pick in EVERY draft would have a much better product on the field to this point. I apologize to Gary Kubiak for bailing so early in his tenure but a Texan is a Texan and shame that this falls on him too.

David Carr has zero fans in 4.5 years to this point, he has plenty of apologists but if he never throws another shot put pass in a Texan uniform I will not be sad at all. For lack of anything intelligent to say in his behalf I will just say, "Don't let the door hit ya where the good lord split ya."

How is a team like the Saints who were as bad as us last year able to make such a turn around?

Every year it is the same, clean house, fans will not miss one single player on this sorry excuse for a team.

[kaleidosky]

just echoing the good riddance sentiment. he pissed me off one too many times last year...and then started again this.

but i will admit to liking the trade for him when it happened, purely on the HOPE that we could get someone with talent on this team (cause the only way it looked like we could do it was by grabbing someone others had given up on and hoping...just lost on this one)

[blackistan]

I dont know why Duntas stickin up for him he knows he sucks too

[JamesC]

I honestly think they should petition the league for another expansion draft... hell, plenty of teams would like to get rid of some veterans on their team in exchange for some good players


Thats funny cause I was jokingly telling a friend that we need another expansion draft. This team is a mess and its gonna take Kubiak and Rick Smith some time to right the ship.

That thread is quite a laugh of a read now.

[hatemavs4life]

P-Buc was not even in Deion Sanders' area code. Deion was one of the best cover corners perhaps ever he just didnt tackle. Buchanon couldnt cover and couldnt tackle so why did we get this guy again? Oh yeah, supposedly would be a shut down corner, sh*t more like an ole corner. Hell, he looks like he was afraid to put a hand on anyone afterall he might break a nail. :rolleyes:

See ya Phil and franks for your diuretic play! Excrement, pure freakin excrement! :mad: :mad: :mad:

Dallas had allowed the FEWEST sacks in the NFL before the Eagles game so your first point was right on target. :rolleyes: :rolleyes: Im a Carr fan so he has 1 fan for sure.

I'm talkin bout pressure, man, pressure: I mean what we talkin bout here, we talkin bout pressure.

I wanted to pick on you some more since you know nothing about football. The Saints got Drew Breese and MOST IMPORTANTLY a coach that knows offense. He actually tries to go deep and isnt conservative like Kubiak. Also, the Saints got a crap load of new players....cant recall the number. All this along with an improving defense and a pro-bowl QB and running back has lead the turn around.

[sammy]

I'm talkin bout pressure, man, pressure: I mean what we talkin bout here, we talkin bout pressure.

We got pressure on him. Thats why they had 3 points in the first half. I believe we got 2 sacks in the first half. I think you said we had ZERO pressure on him all game long.

No he's not. You said something inaccurate (again), and all you have in response is sarcasm. He was right; you were wrong. The fact that the game was a blowout is a non sequitur.

The game was a blow out cuz the Golden boy didn't get his typical QB rating padding two fourth quarter garbage time Tds.

quite frankly I'm done with you Mrs Carr, David come git yo mamma, she's boring me.

j/k

Some of us see the light and some of ya'll think David looks good in those tight pants, it's ok to defend him, I understand :cool:

[Groogrux]

**** David Carr. **** him for letting Terrell Owens catch those three TDs. **** him for not even knowing where the ball was on all those third down conversions to Glenn and Crayton. **** him for letting Julius Jones and Marion Barber run all over the place. **** him for not being able to run block. And lastly, **** him for being too fat to find any kind of hole when he runs the ball.

Retards.

[ima_drummer2k]

So is Faggins coming back this week? Is that why they dropped Phillip?

[MadMax]

I take that back ... <a href="http://bbs.clutchfans.net/showthread.php?p=2434289#post2434289">now</a> it's never rang more true.

It's so funny to hear this mockingly, as if Carr had nothing to do with Owens or Barber scoring. Carr's back-to-back picks in Houston territory are what made this game a laugher, resulting in scores by Owens and Barber. The defense is a mess, but there's plenty of blame for Carr in the Dallas game also.

[rrj_gamz]

He was horrible, but why not try to get something...Hell, a 6th round pick like Dunta said...

[leebigez]

Of al of the moves by the Texans, the only ones i really supported were drafting Mario and drafting Dunta. I thought what the did in expansion draft was cool, but i thought peppers should have went 1st, then A Bryant instead of Gaffeney. The floowing yr, i thought the Texans should have traded down and and got picks and dr5afted Boldin in the 3rd rd. .I also thought the yr when carr only got sacked 30 times, the entire line should have reamined intact instead of spending money on Wade. Giving Titans a 3rd and 4th for babin and oakland a team that sucks in the secondary a 2nd and 3rd for Buchananon was a mistake also. At least they are tearing it down to rebuild. People will scream peterson, i will scream Clements,Turner and Merriweather.

[MR. MEOWGI]

I think that one pick was just a hell of a play by the defender. There was also a fumble. One throw by Carr really sucked. I also don't think it is Carr's fault we couldn't get a touchdown on the 1 yardline. The Texans suck more than Carr.

[Groogrux]

[JamesC]

Didnt see this posted yet but Buchanon signed with Tampa Bay.

http://www.nfl.com/teams/story/TB/9735958

[redgoose]

Let's build a stadium in LA, the league would love that for the TV ratings. Then we get the expansion draft. We'll leave our best players, which aren't many, and then we'll have a football team! Then we move that team to Houston and ours to LA. :)

[rrj_gamz]

Tamba Bay...Well, he's back in Florida, so maybe he'll stick...

[The Real Shady]

....People will scream peterson, i will scream Clements,Turner and Merriweather.

Well, Merriweather may be able to be had in the 2nd round now with his foot stomping incident last week.
