    So BOB talked to Werded

    And Rick talked to Ian.

    That's my guess.

    So you can only assume who probably gave the more honest answer.

    "some source high in the organization" sounds more like Rick Smith than OBrien.

    JJ Watt tweeted "soon" didn't he?

    When reached for comment, McClain sources say, mumbled out "Get back to me later, my mouth is full."

    Aaron Wilson though says he is 'progressing rapidly'

    And being 'cautious' with Duane Brown.

    McClain's comment is usually... "zzzzz" like that time he dozed off in the middle of a radio interview. Or all those tweets he puts out about falling asleep at Texans' games. Are we sure he isn't phoning in from a nursing home somewhere in Sharpstown? Some cardiac rehabilitation facility down on Fannin? That he isn't jumping in cabs telling people he has an important meeting to attend at 2am?

    Man, it looks like I was REALLY wrong when I suggested the Texans take a flier on RG3.

    Those are some tough cuts. I think Scarlett makes it over Washington and I think Hunt makes it over Mumphrey.

    Wilfork has been playing very well and played well last year after an average start.

    Not sure why people keep pushing to get rid of him.

    We also have his heir apparent in Reader on the team already.

    The only weak spot on the DLine right now is DE opposite of a healthy Watt. Covington has had good moments, particularly in passing situations, but he is not stout against the run. Still has not shown much.

    I honestly expect to see a lot of Reader/Wilfork/Watt in 3-4 base sets.

    After yesterdays showing, I agree. Sucks that Hilliard is the only one cut out of the RBs but maybe he goes back to the practice squad. The bills were in town scouting as well so maybe they sign him as a 3rd stringer.

    Devon Still has shown absolutely nothing thus far and its a shame nobody else has been able to claim his spot.

    Still is just depth though?

    Covington and Watt should hold those positions.

    I picked fuller up late in my fantasy draft....

    He looks like he will get 3-4 seam routes a game.

    I think it will pay off.
