Guessing one guy will start at QB game 1 and then the other during game 2 to give them equal opportunity with the first team. Then if it's still not decided by game three they each get a quarter with the first team again, otherwise the starter will play the first half?
Maybe Hoyer/Mal gets reps with 1st team for X minutes in the 1st, and the other QB gets reps with 1st team for X minutes in the 3rd?
Haven't heard much about him, I almost forgot he was on the roster.....probably not a good sign. Either way, I'm pulling for him, he occasionally flashes some brilliance.
I'm pumped for a lot of things. The QBs. Depth in general. I feel this may be the most depth ever on a Texans team. The fact that these guys are being coached up is something that helps, too. Louis Nix. He should play a lot. How will he look? Receivers. RB crew. Offense in general. I guess I'm just excited about pretty much everything.
Good. I'm pulling for the kid to make the team. Has the size and speed but last season his hands were inconsistent. Hopefully he shines tonight.
Reports earlier this week said he was injured. Would be great to see him healthy and playing well. Can't expect Vince to play more than 50% of snaps during the regular season and have him last the entire year. Nix could be a steal draft-wise if he's healthy.
He's had a good camp as well but I doubt he will make the cut this time around. We are very deep at that position finally.
I want to see how Jaelen Strong does; I saw Tyler Lockett last night for the Seahawks and he is pretty good. I really wanted him for us; hopefully Strong makes me forget about him
