This is hilarious!!!! http://www.chron.com/cs/CDA/ssistory.mpl/sports/fb/texansfront/3359465 Sept. 18, 2005, 11:53PM Offense under review, including Palmer's calls By JOHN MCCLAIN Copyright 2005 Houston Chronicle After Sunday's 27-7 loss to the Steelers, Texans coach Dom Capers declined to respond to sources who claim he plans to demote offensive coordinator Chris Palmer and give the play-calling duties to offensive line coach Joe Pendry. Through a team spokesman, Capers said he wants to look at tape of the game before making any comments about possible changes on his coaching staff or in his starting lineup. Palmer also declined comment when asked if he thought he would be replaced as the play caller after the Texans scored a combined two touchdowns in their first two games against Buffalo and Pittsburgh, the two best defensive teams in the NFL last season. Speaking about the team's performance in the first two games, Capers made it clear that he's as exasperated as anyone in the organization. "In the situation we're in," Capers said, "there's really only one thing to do: We've got to evaluate everything and take a good look at what our problem areas are." When Capers was the head coach at Carolina (1995-98), Pendry was his offensive coordinator. After the 1997 season, Capers fired Pendry, and speculation in the media was that team owner Jerry Richardson forced him to do it. Capers hired Pendry as his offensive line coach after the 2003 season. Pendry installed a zone-blocking scheme, and the players struggled with it during the first half of the season. Dating to the last game of 2004 — a 22-14 loss to Cleveland — the Texans have been horrendous. This season, the offense has looked disjointed in a 22-7 loss at Buffalo and again on Sunday against Pittsburgh. "I don't like what I've seen the first two weeks," Capers said. "I didn't like what I saw on defense, either. I really wasn't happy with any phase of our team today." Owner Bob McNair wasn't happy with the second consecutive lopsided defeat, either. "Whatever changes we need to make, we'll make them," McNair said. "I'm not satisfied with the results. I'm disappointed because I know we're a better team than the way we're playing. "We'll evaluate everything and do whatever we think we need to do to play better. You're limited to what your options are. Whatever you do, you should make sure it's going to have a good chance of improving the team. If it doesn't improve the team, there's no need doing it." Because the Texans will be idle during the first week off for four teams, they have two weeks to prepare for their next game at unbeaten Cincinnati on Oct. 2. If a change in play-calling is going to happen, this is the ideal time to do it because of the extra week. "Quite frankly, I'm glad we have a bye week," Capers said. "It gives us a chance to do a lot of self-evaluation. We have to find some way to bounce back." The Texans' defense was as disappointing as the offense against the Steelers, failing to force a turnover for the second consecutive game and registering only one sack. "We're all responsible," McNair said. "You can't put all the blame on the offense because the defense needs to play better, too. I think we can coach better and play better. "We're continuing to make mistakes that we can't make if we're going to play the way we should be playing. This is certainly not satisfactory for the players, coaches or me. We know we can do better. "We've got to work harder to get this thing turned around. Somehow, we have to be more focused on what we're doing as a team. This is not what we expect." ======================= HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!! Pendry's done such a great job with the offensive line, they're considering having him be the offensive coordinator!?!?!? If true, this alone demonstrates how poor a job Capers is doing!
Trust me I think you cant get a little more than a bag of peanuts for Carr. I'm willing to go out on a limb and say Baltimore, Arizona, Denver, and Washington are a few of the teams who we can pry a 1st rounder out of for Carr.
The problem with Carr is that he will be getting paid around 8 million dollars per year if we exercise the option on his contract. That hefty price figure will likely lower his trade value. I don't want to see the Texans pay him that type of money next season, but at the same time I don't want to see him walk for nothing.
Not just a 1st, but I would imagine he would net a fairly high first in addition to a mid round pick. Denver has Washington's 1st rounder along with their own this year, I believe.
Buchannon was terrible again. I loved seeing Dunta Robinson wail into him verbally. Awesome to see him get yelled at like that. I can't believe he blew it like that, how did he let that guy score the TD for their 27th point. I thought Buchannaon was a good player.
I couldn't believe my eyes. I don't see how you could NOT release the guy after watching the game tape of that play. At the very least he should be benched for a game. How can that be tolerated?
By benching him he's just going to build up a "F*** the world" (or the Texans much less) mentality, and care even less if the team suffers. Although it's seems like he couldn't care any less. Get rid of his ass.
Ditto, man. it's freakin' PAINFUL to lose to a GOOD team, but we should be able to at least scare the CRAP out of them... you know? we ALMOST beat the PACKERS, the PATRIOTS, the PANTHERS, the COLTS, and swept the TITANS and JAGUARS last year, though, yo... we ain't THAT bad... c'mon... What's different this season???
yes, but if you're at work, your firewall is likely to block them because they contain gruesome images. actually, i don't know of any, but why would you want to see them?
I forgot to TIVO the game. I enjoy disecting Rocket games in slow motion, repeat the plays, etc. I havn't done this with a Texan game yet and I would like a chance to watch the plays over and over, some in slow motion. I'm curious about the O line, curious about little david carr. Watching the game I was putting it all on the O line. Watching replays on TV and some limited video on the net, I think Carr gave up on the team early, and compounded the problem. I would like to see for myself.
Here is the most likely situation with Carr IMO. Couch agrees to one-year deal with Packers June 14, 2004 SportsLine.com wire reports Tim Couch took a huge pay cut to get a fresh start with the Green Bay Packers and serve as the backup quarterback to one of his idols. Couch, released last week after five stormy seasons with the Cleveland Browns, agreed to terms Monday on a one-year contract to play behind Brett Favre. "I'm excited," Couch said Monday night from his offseason home in Florida. "This is a great opportunity for me to start a new chapter in my career. And, I'm going to a team that has a real chance to win the Super Bowl." Couch said his contract with Green Bay was for just the 2004 season, but that the Packers have already talked to him about the possibility of extending it. He'll officially sign on Tuesday. The deal is worth a reported $1.25 million -- a steep drop in salary for Couch, who would have made $7.6 million this season and $8 million in 2005 if he stayed with the Browns. In Green Bay, Couch will back up Favre, the three-time NFL MVP whom he has admired from afar. "Just getting a chance to be around Brett will be awesome," Couch said. "He's someone I can definitely learn a lot from him, and I'm looking forward to being on a team with him." Tim Couch says he's glad his days with the Browns are over.(Getty Images) Couch was finally let go last Friday by the Browns, who left him dangling for months. The team tried to work out a trade with Green Bay, but didn't think it could get equal value in return. Couch's fate was sealed when Cleveland signed Jeff Garcia in March. The former No. 1 overall draft pick said he didn't appreciate the way he was treated by the Browns the past few months. "I didn't agree with the way they handled it," he said. "I expected to be released when they signed Garcia, but that's not what happened. It was tough being in limbo for so long. I'm just glad it's over." Couch said several other teams were interested in signing him, but that Green Bay was the best fit. "They were always my No. 1 choice," he said. Couch passed for 11,131 yards and 64 touchdowns in 59 starts for the Browns, who selected him with their first pick when they returned to the NFL in 1999. But things never worked out for the former Kentucky star in Cleveland as Couch's tenure was defined by losing seasons, injuries and controversy. "There were good times, and bad times," he said. "I was on some pretty bad teams, I got hurt and I had a lot of things happen to me. But I enjoyed my time in Cleveland. I think it made me a better player. "It definitely made me a stronger person."

Any team where Couch doesn't have to start is a perfect fit for him. Maybe he'll sign a 1 year contract elsewhere if Favre retires.
