Sure. But if we are to read the tea leaves, we may very well see a baby blue jersey with red old English font incorporated with the current logo (which I believe they confirmed wasn’t changing). Maybe it’ll work but not expecting much personally.
They may put some guys on IR tomorrow to get roster spots opened back up. Dieter is a possible re-sign. mechanics IR is that if it’s done before 53 finalized they are done for the year, but if done after then they can return. So teams have to keep guys in the initial 53 that will be IR tomorrow.
this doesn’t really make sense. Because he made a horrible draft pick on an OL we should be skeptical of whether players who have track records of success already are going to be good now? unrelated items. Also, highly likely that Caserio isn’t the one picking olinemen anymore. I think a bigger skepticism I have is whether he knows how to draft at all.
they can’t move forward assuming he has a roster spot. They’ll need to address G, again, with a meaningful draft pick or FA. would be different if he had flashed dominance or even was progressing.
https://www.houstonchronicle.com/te...on-texans-53-man-roster-analysis-18335846.php What happened to the interior offensive line? The Texans will start the regular season with a significant puzzle to solve along the interior offensive line, a major problem considering all the resources general manager Nick Caserio invested in the offseason to solidify the unit. Kenyon Green’s season is over. The 2022 first-round pick was placed on the injured reserve before Tuesday’s deadline, which means the Texans did not believe he’d return this year. If they had, they’d have carried him through the deadline and added him to the injured reserve on Wednesday. Green was injured while surrendering a sack in Sunday’s preseason finale against the Saints, which also underlines the fact he was already playing with the second-team offense. Michael Deiter, a veteran backup from the Dolphins, had started at left guard instead. But the Texans also released Deiter. That was a perplexing move. Consider the options remaining. There’s Jarrett Patterson, a sixth-round pick who only played in the final two preseason games. That’s really it. Josh Jones and Kendrick Green — two flex linemen Houston acquired in trades this week — are more equipped to fill in at the spots made vacant by other injuries. Rookie Juice Scruggs suffered a hamstring injury on Sunday and is expected to at least miss the Sept. 10 regular season opener against the Ravens, a person with knowledge of the injury said. Green, a third-round pick in 2021, started in 15 games at center for the Steelers as a rookie. Green starting at center is in itself precarious. Green’s struggles that season provoked the Steelers to sign James Daniels in 2022. The Steelers tried to move Green back to guard, and, after being beaten out by Kevin Dotson, Green spent the entire season as a healthy scratch. As for Jones, he played 612 snaps at right guard in 2021 for the Cardinals, but he surrendered 20 quarterback pressures and three sacks, according to Pro Football Focus. He’s more equipped to play offensive tackle. It’s where the Cardinals moved him permanently last year, and the Texans jumped to acquire Jones ahead of other teams who may have made him their starter to supply depth while starting right tackle Tytus Howard recovers from his left-hand surgery. Howard is actually the only other player under contract (aside from right guard Shaq Mason) with NFL snaps at guard under contract, and he only played there in 2021 due to Houston’s tremendous lack of depth. It would be a significant step backward for the Texans to move Howard back. Perhaps the Texans re-sign Deiter under a new deal. A Patterson-Green pairing at left guard and center does not inspire confidence in protecting rookie quarterback C.J. Stroud in his first regular season game, nor creating the run-game efficiency that would support Stroud. Texans coach DeMeco Ryans said Sunday “whatever we need to do to continue to get better up front, we’ll do it.” Caserio has already spent the most in the NFL on the offensive line. He’s swapped a 2024 fifth for a seventh and parted with a 2025 fifth to acquire Jones and Green. How much more must they invest? Farewells from Nick Caserio’s first wave The Texans cut linebackers Christian Kirksey and Garret Wallow, nickel safety Desmond King, center Jimmy Morrissey and could negotiate a settlement with defensive tackle Roy Lopez, who was given a waive-injured designation after his hamstring injury in training camp projected a 3-5 week recovery timeline. They were all part of Caserio’s first wave of free agents and draft picks in 2021. Quarterback Davis Mills, wide receiver Nico Collins and tight end Brevin Jordan are the only players who remain from Caserio’s first draft class, and defensive tackle Maliek Collins, punter Cam Johnston, nickel safety Tavierre Thomas, linebacker Neville Hewitt are the players remaining from Caserio’s first free agency cycle. Brevin Jordan survives roster cut …Jordan is expected to go on the short-term injured reserve later this week, which would require him to miss at least three games. That would allow the Texans to bring back another player they cut. Someone like a Cory Littleton. Surprise cuts … Who’s going to play nickel? …
Hoping for some waiver wire pickups QB Colt Mccoy (AZ) or Bailey Zappe (NEP) (Keenum to IR or trade Mills to NEP for 4th or 5th) WR/KR Vyncint Smith (IND) for old times sake TE Zack Kuntz (NYJ) (cut or trade Brevin Jordan) this needs to happen G/T David Quessenberry (BUF) G/C OL Matt Farniok (DAL) or Austin Reiter (KC) (Patterson to IR) Edge Ben Banogu (DAL) (cut Derek Rivers) NT Timmy Horne (ATL) or Trysten Hill (CLE) (cut Kurt Hinish) keep getting gashed in running game, Horne would help clog running lanes LB Brandon Smith (CAR) and LB Cameron Goode (MIA) (cut Jake Hansen & Neville Hewitt) CB Kindle Vildor (CHI) or Robert Rochell (LAR) (cut Holman) If Texans pickup Kuntz, Farniok, & Brandon Smith, I would color that a huge win
Kuntz was cut? I’d take him in a heartbeat. The freakiest athlete at the combine this year, including AR
Also not for nuffin, but Joe Haeg played for our oline coach in Indy and was really good for Clots... IJS we need to protect our #2 pick investment
Steelers ran more outside zone than most other team with Najee Harris as their running back, so Kendrick should have been a fit.
I've got no expectations. I'm hoping to be pleasantly surprised if he reaches his potential. I still think this is the best way to try to get the best out of Kenyon.
Boy, some of the cuts shocked me, especially King, that one has me scratching my head as well as the Deiter cut. Then the pick up of Green from the Steelers had me go WTF..........I wonder if this was Ryan doing it or Nick? I wanna trust em but dam these cuts are stunning...............maybe there was another issue with King that we will never know about but I am sure he will be picked up immediately
