The Official Adrian Peterson Countdown

Didn't we have one of these for Reggie Bush too?

 

You must not remember last year. I'm not saying they look great or anything, but I feel that last year they were much better. And if you think they're worse this year, you should know that they should go defense with their first pick since they currently have a chance at being one of the worst all-time defensively.

 

last yr 2-14 drafted Mario Williams

this yr 1-15 drafted Adrian Peterson




TIME TO TANK ..... they can't mess up again? can they

 

Did you even watch the game yesterday? Our offense is no Indy, but it is when you compare it to our defense.

 

i think they look worse than last year, too. they can't play within 14 points of their opponent...they're on pace to SHATTER the record for most yards given up in a season.

it's sad...and i never would have expected this. but i truly think they're worse than last season, from what i've seen so far.

 

Wouldnt it be CRAAAAZY if we ended up with 3 #1 draft pick in 5yrs and still can't have a winning season. Sad to say it but I think we are the WORST TEAM right now ... SF and Tenn could probably beat us right now. VY would look like Vick and Alex Smith would look like John Elway vs our D.


2002 David Carr #1
2006 Mario William #1
2007 Adrian Peterson #1

2007 record 5-11

 

I said it in another thread...but this thread is more appropriate for it:

The Texans have holes EVERYWHERE. Literally, there is no part of the team that doesn't need serious updgrading.

With that in mind, take the best available talent in the draft...no matter the position. There is nothing you don't need...just go get the guys you feel are best. Don't worry about systems and who fits where. Just draft talent. Unfortunately, that's where we are, now.

 

We have so many needs, one pick isn't going to help...We need a cover corner, we need a pass rush, we need an O-Line, etc...

When will it end...

Whew, I'm done...AP would be a good pick up but it wouldn't matter because our O-Line sucks...It also doesn't help that Carr sucks too...

 

Good players: AJ, DRod, DRyans

Sorry overpaid players: Rest of team

 

Now here's to you Mr. Casserly
Heaven holds a place for those who pray, hey hey hey

Sitting on a sofa on a Sunday afternoon.
Going to watch the Texans play.
Laugh about it, shout about it
When you've got to choose
Every way you look at this you lose.

Now here's to you Mr. Casserly
Jesus loves you more than you will know.
God bless you, please Mr. Casserly
Heaven holds a place for those who pray,
Hey, hey, hey

 

There was a statistical analysis done several years ago and having lots of high draft picks on your team was generally not an indicator of future success. A team like Indy is an exception with Edge/Manning, but teams like New England and Pittsburgh who've had consistent success the last few years don't have a lot of top-5 type picks in them. (obviously they don't have that opportunity because they were already decent, but the study accounted for that)

The reason is that if you have a few high picks, you tie up a lot of valuable salary cap space in just a few players, and the NFL is about being good in all areas rather than necessarily great (or at least, expensive great) in a few positions. That's my biggest reason for not wanting to throw so much money into a flaky position like running back. Of course, that assumes Mario Williams lives up to his expectations.

If the Texans are at the top of the draft this year, they need to seriously consider trading down rather than having so much tied into 3 #1 picks.

 

yep, Adrian Peterson would be the perfect player to fix our sh!tty defense.

 

Dude, someone lock this thread, we can not allow Texans mangement to know who we want or they will for sure take someone else. Lock this baby and I will go open the diversionary "Countdown to Brady Quinn" thread.

 

Who were our last 4 first round picks? MW, T Johnson, Drob, and Babin? And didn't we trade a couple of first day picks for P Buch? Just b/c you are wasting all your early picks on D, doesn't mean they will be good.
This team needs some great players on both sides of the ball. If AP is on the board, you take him or you trade down.

 

Well I don't see us being the worst team in football so I think all this number one pick talk needs to go away until we play 7-8 games.

 

I guess we'll just have to disagree. I do think our defense is worse, but not our offense. You know how people always argue that an offense needs to stay out on the field to rest the defense? I think the flipside to that is that the defense needs to do something to take the pressure off the offense. That's our problem right now. The offense is under way too much pressure to do something because our defense is so terrible. I see a lot of potential in our offense, I think they look much better than last year's.

Honestly, I think we're all forgetting just how downright horrible they were last year on both sides of the ball.

 

i think our passing game is better. no doubt there. i think our running game looks the same. but for all the great passer ratings, they still can't put the ball in the end zone when it matters. they were in games last year. so far, they haven't been in a game.

more importantly..the defense is worse. they're that much worse, i think.
