    Bill O'Brien is the clear-cut man on this team.... not sure how many "leaders" one team really needs (and if they need several, I'll question the overall capability/talent/drive of that team as is).

    Did Vrabel just call them the softest team he's ever seen. Oh... he said nicest team instead of soft. How "nice" of him to put it that way.

    And Old Man Mcnair, hasn't a competitive bone in his body, that's your leader.

    Here's your difference, Mcnair with his old man floppy hat and Bob Craft with his arm around the hot blonde.

    We need a clear cut on the field leader for the offense to match JJ Watt on the defense. That player is most likely the quarterback.

    Brian Hoyer is no way no how a leader. You can see it in his personality. He just doesn't have the ability to lead men in the huddle. Don't know if Mallett has "it" either. (Probably doesn't.) But I do know Hoyer has no chance to gain these guys respect and be their on-the-field leader. He's not the guy they're going to make the little extra effort to protect, etc. He may be able to function as a QB. But he's not a leader.

    Agree. Hoyer is def someone who doesn't show much emotion. I def don't' 'like that.

    Seems Hopkins needs to just played pissed all game.

    I didn't like Vrabel saying this is the nicest team ever. I know it's true. :/

    Overall pretty good episode. Loved O'Brien's attitude.

    I'm not a fan of Hoyer.... He just does not seem like an nfl quarterback. Sounds like a nice guy but not somebody the team is going to rally around. That's why I think mallet has that it factor he sounds like a leader, someone that the team will go put and fight for. We'll see what happens but man I was disappointed in Hoyer he seems like a very smart guy and a great back up QB who can help the starter out a lot but boy o boy if he's the starter we ain't winning many games.

    Ah... the expert analysis after watching a few choice snippets (some of them "staged") of a reality show.

    If a QB is making the appropriate reads/throws... not turning it over... and getting points on the board, I couldn't care less about how "loud" he comes off as (granted, there is absolutely no guarantee that any of the current Texans QB's can do anything close to what I just mentioned).

    Did Eli Manning forget how to "lead" since winning those two Super Bowls? Will the Patriots o-lineman forget how to block without their "leader" in there for the first 4 games of the season?

    This isn't high school or college... NFL teams rarely rally behind any single player for a game, let alone an entire season. Coaches, however, have the ultimate weapon for motivation... and that's call preparing your team the best way you can to beat the other team on Sunday.
