Okay, even if that's when he got hurt, it wasn't due to the O line not holding, it was a fluke where a defender flopped onto his knee well after the ball was out. I mean, so yeah, even if that's when it happened, it wasn't due to the O line even though the O line was tragic.
If they were to sign the guys I like, Hubbard at RT on the cheap/OG Kline on the cheap, trade for a LT like Glenn and draft a LT that can play LG like Williams/Crosby etc... the OL will be a lot better and there should be enough cap room to add a CB or S in FA. I agree it's totally doable.
The point is he had a 2nd ACL surgery. I'm no Dr., but I would think it would be worse to have both knees hurt than one knee hurt multiple times.
So the Texans got more for old, salty, looking for an extention, could have cut him Duane Brown than the chiefs got for Marcus Peters on a rookie contract. Is that right?
I'm going to keep bumping this thread until it's locked because this **** shouldn't be here. Sick and tired of seeing this fools name the the Texans sub.
it doesn't matter why they failed him, turns out it was a good idea to do so. The picks they got instead of him are more valuable than he is especially with the trouble he's in right now facing a suspension.
I mean I’m glad he’s not here because he’s a bad player and now has issues, but if they really failed him because they didn’t want an anthem guy pathetic. That story getting out only further hurts
I guess, but it's not really a credible story and it sounds a lot like a PR leak by a guy that is facing a suspension that wants to spin things to where he's a victim. I'm sure the Texans (and most teams) don't want mental midgets who would put advancing false narratives over the game....but if the player is good, they'd deal with it. If the Texans didn't want him solely due to his anthem antics, why wouldn't they have just asked for a different player instead? Why go through the trouble of having him fail a physical? Hell, why not just trade Duane Brown to a different team? It just doesn't make sense.
I'm not a doctor either, but actually from everything i heard and read, especially around the time of his injury, it's just the opposite. One ACL injury makes it more likely you might injure the other one as well. re-injuring the same ACL would speak to a longer term problem that might come up over and over. theoretically, with the repair, the injured ACL should be as good as new or better.
Yeah that's kind of what I was getting at earlier, I think this is why you hear the spin about why he failed his physical being put out there by his people. They knew their guy was about to be assed out and they are hoping to build him back up making excuses for why he wasn't tradeable.
He was traded because he refused to play for the Texans. If he didn't sit out or request a trade, he would still be a Texan.
Gotta love when an article debunks itself.... "We’ll take a quick look, but the evidence seems to indicate that there is no reason to believe Lane didn’t legitimately fail his physical. "
