LOL no surprise that the Texans didn't get him. Shaun Rogers apparently said on the radio yesterday that it would be a dream come true to play here. I wouldn't be opposed to signing him on a small contract. Even if he doesn't end up being a starter, he'd be a useful backup.
Damn Philly is loaded at DE already. Their new DC is their former OL coach, what appeal could there be for playing under a guy who doesn't know what he's doing?
I wouldn't mind at all if Shaun Rogers came to play here. We could use the depth, and who knows....maybe he's still got something left in the tank. It shouldn't be our lone move addressing the line (nor should it be the biggest), but it could be a start.
[rquoter]The Texans have agreed to terms with two new assistant coaches, Jim Ryan and John Butler. Ryan will be hired as an offensive assistant replacing Bruce Matthews. Butler will be a defensive assistant replacing Robert Saleh. Both will work closely with special teams coordinator Joe Marciano. Ryan played linebacker for the Denver Broncos for 11 years (1979-88). He was Gary Kubiak's teammate for six years and played three seasons under new Texans defensive coordinator Wade Phillips. Ryan also coached Denver's linebackers for four seasons (2005-08) under Mike Shanahan. Last season, Ryan coached linebackers and special teams for Omaha of the United Football League. Butler coached linebackers and special teams at the University of Minnesota. Early in his college coaching career, Butler was a graduate assistant at the University of Texas.[/rquoter] http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl...(chron.com+-+Top+Stories)&utm_content=Twitter
OMG HOW SHOCKING THAT THERE WAS INFLUENCE FROM KUBIAK TO GET ANOTHER DENVER INDIVIDUAL! How many damn former Broncos do we have to have on this squad?
Sheesh. They're just assistants, not even position coaches. Even if they weren't Kubiak's/Wade's friends, they would just be following the direction given to them by Kubiak/Wade's friends (the position coaches/coordinators).
yeah i dont get why people are overreacting to the hiring what's equivalent to a positions coach secretary
Perhaps insignificant, but... I wonder if the texans gave Jerry Gray any thought as DC? Gray is really respected and in fact was a HC candidate in the past.
Didn't Jerry Gray interview last time? Or was he just a name the media and fans were throwing around?
Yes, it is true. But that doesn't mean anything. He's probably going to stay with the Raiders....and there is NO WAY he ends up in Houston.
Damn, Bob, bring him here! http://www.nationalfootballpost.com...tml?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter Shaun Rogers' contract was recently terminated by the Cleveland Browns. His reputation was also damaged by a disappointing season last year where he struggled with injuries and he drew criticism from Browns general manager Tom Heckert, who referrred to him as a different kind of cat in comments to the Cleveland Plain Dealer. Rogers recently visited the Washington Redskins. He's visiting the Kansas City Chiefs today, according to ESPN and Pro Football Talk. Rogers, whose nickname is "Big Baby," recently discussed his outlook with KILT Radio in Houston, per SportsRadioInterviews.com. "No it didn’t," Rogers said when asked if he was surprised he was released. "It’s one of those things that come with the territory when you’re a veteran guy like myself. These kinds of things are going to happen. I would just hope that my track record would speak for itself. Unfortunately last year I played through some injuries against some advice from my agent Kennard (McGuire). "He probably would’ve liked to see me sit down a little bit ‘till I was fully there. We’re competitors in this game and guys go out there and try and give there all excluding all circumstances. I think I did alright with what I was asked to do this year. My goal right now is to get healthy and look into any opportunities.” The Browns wound up reducing Rogers' snaps significantly last season. "The problem with me getting hurt last year, one of my young proteges, Ahtyba Rubin, showed great promise and they wanted to get him on the field," Rogers said. "They moved him to nose and we had a little rotation where I would go in at end and he would play nose and that’s just what it was. I was kinda banged up this year so I had a little more spot play than usual, but years previous to that I’ve been blessed and I’ve been one of the few guys in this league that I would consider a three-down guy. T "he league is getting specialized as far as guys playing two downs and bringing in other guys in third down situations. You see that a lot in the league. In my career I’ve been blessed and had the ability to do both. I’m just looking to get healthy and go out there and play at a level where I played at for many years which I consider to be one of the upper levels or a Pro-Bowl level.” A former University of Texas standout whose agent is based out of Houston, Rogers said he would like to play for the Texans. “Like I said it would be most definitely a fairy tale situation," Rogers said. "But again you just look forward to exploring all opportunities and hopefully whoever reaches out to me and wherever I go it will most definitely be a positive experience.”
I hate to break it to you, but if you expect the Texans to sign ANY free agent that could make an impact, well that is just ludicrous. Only minimum pay, scrap-heap type players. Might as well start preparing for disappointment.

A player who plays a position the Texans have a need at comes out and states he would like to come here. Hmmm, this whole scenario sounds vaguely familiar...
The guy got a dpoy vote and probably is the best NT out there right now. Who's the highest paid tackle? Wilfork maybe?
