    Man, that was cool to watch. I love how whoever the crosser was, Nico or Woods, was actually the open one. It looked like the DB chose to cover the post but wasn’t fast enough. Didn’t matter, but cool play calling by slowik is exciting right?!

    Also, I love the end but by Colt. “In a perfect world you want to throw this 45-yards on the hash” that ball literally landed 45 yards on the hash.. kinda makes you think, he just didn’t know Tank was gonna get so far by them, and tank was faster getting there so it could have been 50 yards on the hash and been more perfect. That will come with time as they develop a connection. But liked that video.

    Historically they'll say speed with no size and no strength has failed in the NFL at almost every position, but significantly at WR. It's almost a certainty for some reason. And maybe that has been true. But Some of us grew up with the Houston Gamblers and think differently. CJ2k was all speed at 5'11. He didn't last, but it was explosive for a short time.

    Hopefully we stop using Tank like he’s Deebo. I’d like him to last 10 years.

    Whether Dell can block well enough to be a every down WR and his being able to stay healthy at his size are my only questions.

    Some new Tank propaganda fresh of the printing press.
    Only Addison has more Receiving TDs(6) than Dell(4).

    Stroud wanted the Texans to draft Tank. Time for Texans to give a scouting position to CJ.

    Texans rookie td reception record is 5. I believe OD did that. Tank should break that easily.

    Given that he already has 4, I would hope so.

    It's hard to believe Andre only averaged about 5 TDs a season...
