Source: Texans plan to cut Andre Johnson if he refuses pay cut

Andre is going to be pissed. Stop talking Texans. You are giving Dre incentive to juice.

 

Not that AJ80 needs any more fuel or motivation coming into this year, but yeah, McNair isn't mincing words there.

 

The banner needs to be updated. I still see AJ.

 

I don't think anyone is really worried about Andre Johnson anymore. He's just not that feared player anymore.

 

Assuming he doesn't go Beast mode on us, more balls in his direction versus Hilton's might be a good thing for the Texans :grin:

 

Absolutely, the Colts taking throws away from Hilton and forcing them to Dre would be awesome for us.

 

yet he was the one drawing the double coverages and best corners. Mind blowing but I think the reason for andre's lack of yards was that qb couldn't hit andre on the andre routes.

 

He really wasn't doubled very often because most corners could make him a non-factor by themselves. I get the "blame the QB" route is popular, but it didn't stop Nuk Hopkins....

It seems Andre isn't the only one who doesn't want to admit he lost a step or two.

 

^by that logic, deandre lost 2 steps, since he went awol the last handful of games. Or it could be that maybe just maybe case felt more comfortable with the routes andre had going than Deandre. Fitz had time w/ dhop in otas. let's not go full brain dead either. He is no longer 23 and is now more prone to injuries, but he can still double move the best corners in football, like the one on haden which mallet just under threw. You could have had Antonio gates 2005 and the TE position would have also been ignored. Most of it was on Fitzy and I like fitzy.

 

Hey I'm fine with you not being able to realize that Andre clearly has lost a step or two. You don't have to get defensive about it.

 

That's Clubber Lang.

 

The most awesome thing for us is Fitzpatrick no longer throwing passes for us

 

SMH, you're hopeless.

 

Very true but we're still bad at qb.

 

Hopefully we'll be better at QB this season than we were last season, because that would mean Mallett is legit.

 

He really just needs to be quiet.

 

I will echo the fact that those comments are stupid. Dre didn't give a damn last year. It's not that he lost a step - he just lost the love of playing for a perrenial loser.

Bob - shut it. Let him get his ring (maybe) retire after a few and bring him back as a liaison

 

So you'd rather believe that he's a whiny diva that was intentionally a detriment to the team rather than believing that time is starting to catch up to him and that he's lost a step?

That's an interesting take, but why the hell would we accept him back if that's the case?

 

go home bobby - you're drunk

 

I am home, and I'm not drunk yet.....but none of that has anything to do with what we're talking about.

If Dre was some kind of malcontent that was a detriment to the team, which is what you are suggesting, why would we ever want to honor him?

Getting old and losing a step is understandable, but if he was hurting the team on purpose then he can piss off.
