Unofficial Texans' off season thread for 2014.

Good. Old fart needs his rest.

 

Andre always skips the voluntary workout. This isn't news.

 

From the article:

Don't really have a problem with it, though. He does need to stay healthy.

 

what the hell AJ?

 

Don't know what that article is talking about. I specifically remember Andre staying in Miami to train in years past. I'm 100% certain.

 

AJ is much more accomplished than BOB. AJ can tell BOB to F off and I wouldn't care.

 

That's it. The Texans need to draft Sammy Watkins.

 

Dre is frustrated and tired of losing I'm sure

 

He's probably pis'd that the Texans are going the Kubiak route again by drafting a defensive player and bringing in some scrub quarterback to throw him the ball.

 

Exactly. He probably only has 3 elite years left. I always wanted Dre to retire a Texan but also would love to see him play with a real qb finally. Brees, Brady, Rodgers etc.

 

Yeah, if there's one thing every veteran WR in the twilight of his career wants, it's a rookie QB throwing him the ball....

 

I guess he's earned it, so to speak, but some veteran leadership is always good...

 

ND and Greg on In the Trenches mentioned a tweet by Craig Shelton as to why AJ80 missed (not sure if legit):

If true, that might explain it... Hope AJ80 is on-board with the direction of the franchise. I'd love to see us win it all (or at least make a big run at it) before he retires.

 

I honestly think the nonsense with Schaub being put back in after he was benched multiple times killed how he feels about the team. I don't think he cares as much this year as he did in every previous season.

 

That's a relief.

 

Always excites me to see these pictures after missing football for a couple months..

Looks like Hopkins added some muscle, right? I guess he's been spending a lot of time on Instagram during the offseason.

 

Nook looks huge, ready to take that #1 spot as ace wr. I'm excited about this guy this season. Any word on Posey's conditioning?

 

His forearm strength has never been a weakness.
