    Foreman must have been a supreme F-up to get cut this early. Duke Johnson would be a nice pickup, but I don't expect the Texans to add anyone mentioned here or for that matter anyone we have even heard of,

    The media says everybody looks great in camp every year and then the season starts and its the same ole ****.

    Foreman got beat bad in 2 pass pro drills and then fumbled on his only carry in goal line yesterday,.

    Pancakes asks Obrien who are the RB's emerging behind Miller and Foreman. O'Brien said its just Miller....He pauses and said the backup spot is wide open. I thought then there was a chance Foreman doesn't make the team, but I didn't think they would cut him a day later.

    Since when is your 3rd down running back supposed to be on special teams?
    Who the hell convinced people and bill o brien that this is a thing? Lol wtf is this dude doing?

    How many more 3rd round picks are you going to trade out for unsigned character guys that play hard?

    Their strategy appears to get undrafted guys sign 10 or 12 guys then keep one. Thats what they did with the dylan cole and its this approach that doesnt value picks. Its all play hard aww shucks guys.
    Even with picks they get guys like howard not skill players or guys that will cost..its a strategy.

    They think they are so smart now they dont even need a gm so no one to complain to..
    When season starts and the lossses pile mcnair will be happy to let obrien say how they need to get better and its on me aww shucks.

    They can ride that to 6-10 and everyone will still lap it up.

    They have no incentive to win.why keep foreman when its going to cost?

    This team sucks

    This is my biggest concern. BoB has shown time and time again he’ll make that heat of the moment decision. We saw it when he benched his starting QB in back to back season openers. We saw it when he wanted to cut Mallet on a game day that would’ve made Lechler our backup QB.

    Ultimately this falls on Foreman but worries me that there is no one to check BoB if he made the decision after one bad day, or even two or three.

    This goes back to not having a GM to talk him off the ledge. The only way this gets fixed is him to flame out and they hire a GM and let him run the football operations the way normal teams do.

    Top 10 play in Texans history in my opinion.

    Home town kid comes home and does good after bringing a university in Texas its only National Championship in football at this point in the last 42 years.

    Was the crowd 60/40 in favor of VY? I remember half the city wanted VY and the other half wanted Reggie.

    Pretty much an even split of Possum Hollar fans and Texans fans...

    Fire Bob, hire a GM, and let the GM hire a new coach.

    No more of this crap. Demand accountability. Stop the damned buck somewhere.
