    The Texans completed their first round of cuts Tuesday by releasing fullback Jarrod Baxter and tackle Garrick Jones. They also placed tight end Bennie Joppru on the Physically Unable to Perform list.

    Why the hell do we still have Joppru? What a waste of a pick....

    Taking Joppru over Whitten didn't work out so well.

    Is Joppru ever going to play? I've been wanting to see what he can do.

    Why have they not cut Joppru yet? This is year #3 and he still won't play this year. Admit your mistake and cut him!

    Why did we overhaul our defense so much this year, but we didn't make any changes to our lousy offense? I can't believe we are still going to use Gaffney and Bradford as our #2 and 3 receivers. At least try someone different!

    Thats true. Casserly has done a good job in the draft but Joppru, Hollings, and Ragone were not smart choices. Babin may join that list if he has another 2 or 3 sack season this year.

    Joppru may have turned out as a bust due to injuries, but I can't see how CC was suppose to predict that.
