My bad, super-sensitive rabbit ears here because of the pain and frustration you referenced above. I was a wee lad during the Run & Shoot era, and don't remember that quote, but I do remember the hype around Buddy Ryan and Wilber Marshall. Still mad a Keith Cash for throwing that ball at the Ryan poster in the Oilers-Chiefs playoff game.
This is a year old article, but crazy how there was still Cowher-Houston rumors for so long. Casey Hampton wouldnt have minded playing in Houston if Cowher came. http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/09331/1016642-66.stm
There are going to be some good coaches available to fill the DC spot once Frank Bush takes the fall. Marvin Lewis Mike Zimmer John Fox Mike Singletary Getting Champ Baily or even Jonathan Joseph would be great as the need vet help in the secondary. Getting a vet FS would be nice too. The Texans need to get to a point to where they are drafting for depth, not fishing for potential starting rookies. Figure at the offensive side of the ball they are pretty set in about 7 of 11 positions. They could stand search for upgrades at C, RG, WR2 and TE. On the defensive side of the ball, they are probably only set at 3 or 4 positions. Cush at SAM, Ryans (if healthy) at MIKE, Mario (if healthy) at RE, and maybe Pollard at SS. I think they can really turn this ship around in the off season by throwing money at a Champ or Jon Joseph and then doing something they've never done before and trading up to either get a higher 1st or a second 1st and picking some sharptoothed guys like Von Miller and/or Clayborn. and I hate to say it, but keeping Kub will probably increase the odds of netting Champ
you guys are crazy if you think this team will pursue any legitimate FA. where's kingcheetah with is "unlikely" pic?
Most important people to an NFL franchise: 1. Head Coach 2. Quarterback . . . . .. ... 3. Defensive Captain (usu MLB) Until we resolve #1, the rest is meaningless. The team plays with the personality of its coach, and right now our coach has settled in nicely as a loveable loser.
Totally abstract, but do you recall this song? I grew up on it and loved it.
