Will Bob McNair pull a Jerry Jones and make R. Smith make a big trade?

Cough... Cough... Mike Brown... Dan Rooney

 

touché!!!

 

But you're willing to let them take their lumps at the expense of our most successful season to date??? At some point, you have to WIN. I've had enough of stockpiling young assets and letting them grow into their positions....we need VETERAN LEADERSHIP in the worst way, and we need SKILL players on defense. What good are draft picks going to do when you are already the youngest team in the league?? We need to mix in good, veteran talent WITH that youth. That's what every Super Bowl team over the last 10 years has done....that's how you go from mediocrity to elite in the span of a year. The Texans have the chips to get a deal done....McNair/Smith/Kubiak need to have the stones to make it happen. As built, this offense can take us to the promised land, but the defense can only take us to the outhouse. But with a couple of additions, I think we can bring this defense at LEAST up to average, and that will allow Bush to start being more aggressive with his play-calling, and we will see a new defense after the bye week. Let's get a trade done, and bring someone here that can make a difference. When have we EVER been in first place this deep into the season? Let's continue in this direction. This fan base deserves it. The offense deserves it. The city deserves it.

 

Nothing will happen, and the Chronic will spin it.

 

I don't expect to hear much from the press conference today but I know someone will ask him about this subject, if Kubes says something about how they will leave or die with this unit...I will throw up my Whataburger. I hope he will at least spin it as they are always looking to improve the squad and will explore every possible route.

 

I bet we could do like Jacoby for the corner. Throw in some 3rd round and 4th rounders :grin:

We know Al Davis likes them fast tall Receivers

 

Christmas in October....

Hayneworth and Nnamdi

Playoffs here we come!

 

Would be nice to make a big move like Raiders CB but I don't see the Texans doing it.

 

This is actually a good idea.

JJ and a 1st for Aso?

Worth it?

 

Hell yes!! You do that in a heartbeat and you don't think twice.

 

Does anyone understand the impact of his huge contract?

I don't understand the NFL salary cap.

 

This season, none but next season...it will cost some folks their job(OD and Walter) or Andre/Matt/Demeco will need to restructure their contracts.

Numbers wise, don't know, the cap is a hard one though so something will need to happen depending on what the cap ends up being after their new agreement.

 

Trindon Holliday has 4.2 speed, Davis should be calling the Smith, not the other way round.

 

i think nnamdi might be willing to reconstruct his contract to play for a contender.

 

This is how majority of us will feel tomm.

Hope I'm wrong though.

I would agree if your talking about building a team in MLB or NBA, but in the NFL, the windows for a team making a legitimate run to the Super Bowl and winning are much much smaller. Due to injuries, parity, luck, schedules, etc., teams that can pull it off, often only have 2-4 years to really have a chance.

Now I'm talking about with the players you have right now sticking with the team. Some teams have shown the ability to reload on the fly to stay in the conversation (i.e. Eagles, Patriots, Ravens, Steelers, Colts), but most teams are not lucky enough to have star players who can last or front offices who have the wherewithal to pull it off. So far, the Texans front office has not shown that they will be comparable.

Given that, I would say the Texans are right at year 2 in their 4 year window. Using this year to "hopefully" develop our CB's, and then draft another CB next year, uses up too much of that window. I know next years draft is flush with 1st/2nd round CB elite talent, but they take time to show it, which I would say is time that the Texans may not have.

No, Texans should not give up multiple 1st round picks, 3rd, 5th, etc picks up to get Aso. But overpaying would be necessary and a worthwhile risk and allow the Texans to maximize this year of their window. Then even if our young corners develop by next year, we will be even stronger for a few years towards the end of this groups window.
