    There's justification to be freaking out about now. We're kinda not going to resign half of our OL that is the heart and soul of Foster's running lanes and protecting Schaub.

    Well I guess we will find out how good Arian and Schaub really are. I think our FO is trying to get our D a number 1 D in the league. Then hope Foster, AJ, Schaub can get some points to win games. I would not be surprised if we signed Mike Wallace or something during this off season to compliment AJ. Everyone can dream right?

    Lol, I "guess". It's an awfully stupid philosophy from the front office.

    There's got to be another FA corner out there better than that zero.

    Yes, stuck with Cream Jackson. I guess ready to see what Roc Carmichael and/or Brandon Harris have to offer. Or maybe they sign someone or draft someone.

    Meh, Jason Allen got burned a lot too. Probably more, he's also a lot worse at tackling than Kareem. He just takes more risks and goes for the ball. He's very much below average with run help. Kareem's been getting better, hopefully a full off season under Wade will help him. Also, remember how Brooks Reed shined last year? That was Wade's pick, he also hand picked Brandon Harris, but there was a log jam at that position, I'd like to see what he can do this year.

    A log jam at the weakest unit on the team??:confused:

    And Allen certainly was not burned more than Jackson, not even close. And Kareem only improved from being the single worst defensive player in the NFL to being one of a handful of the worst defensive players in the nfl.

    Allen was burned plenty He's the master of the 12 yard cushion while the offense is on the 5 yard line

    Plenty of CB's, Roc, K Jax, J Allen, Brice Mccain, J Jo, Mcmannis.
    That's not counting safeties.

    Are you kidding me? They both sucked it up last year coverage wise. They both gave 10 yard cushions and still got beat, the only thing J Allen was better at was trying to make a play on the ball. At least when Kareem got burned he could make the tackle, and he could help out on run support. Remember when Brandon Marshall dragged Allen into the endzone after he burned him? What about that missed tackle on the all out blitz against the Raiders to give up the win?

    No, now you're just being biased from watching him his rookie year. He wasn't great by any stretch of the imagination, but, he showed signs that he can be a good corner in the NFL.

    Y'all better accept the fact that Kareem will be starting next year. The texans can't afford signing someone that is clearly better unless they get someone on the cheap that use has a breakout year.

    If Kareem can improve as much this year as he did from his rookie year to 2nd year than the we will all be happy.

    Shantae Spencer would be a nice pickup on the cheap.

    damn, every FA wideout worth a damn has signed elsewhere. Looks like our receiving core will remain fairly similar to 2011-2012

    They have a draft every year for a reason.
