I think 14 of the games are always predetermned nowadays...the other 2 are based on order of finish and are conference games
I don't feel good using this as a reference but info on NFL scheduling below: http://football.about.com/cs/football101/a/bl_schedproced.htm
That explains playing KC for the 3rd straight year and the matchup against the AFC North and NFC West. Should be a fun season. Home Indy- Win Jags- Win Titans-Win Browns- Win Steelers- Loss Cards- Win Rams-Win Chiefs- Win Road Indy- Loss Jags- Win Titans- Loss Ravens- Loss Bengals- Win 49ers-Win Seahawks- Win Bills- Loss I see 11-5 for next year with 7-1 at home.
Texans signed 14 FAs: HOUSTON - The Houston Texans announced today that they have signed the following player to future contracts: LB Tim Cheatwood (6-4, 258, Ohio State, first season) DE Jason Davis (6-3, 320, West Virginia, first season) LB Anthony Dunn (6-2, 246, Northern Colorado, first season) LB Tyreo Harrison (6-2, 238, Notre Dame, second season) T Casey Knutson (6-4, 290, Northern State, first season) RB Adam Matthews (5-11, 205, Northern Colorado, first season) LB David Moretti (6-1, 235, Oregon, first season) WR Nick Narcisse (5-10, 178, Tulane, first season) QB Preston Parsons (6-4, 236, Northern Arizona, first season) P Cody Scates (6-1, 205, Texas A&M, first season) K Chris Snyder (6-0, 190, Montana, first season) WR Allen Suber (5-9, 189, Bethune-Cookman, first season) WR Sloan Thomas (6-1, 203, Texas, first season) SS David Young (6-1, 211, Georgia Southern, first season) ....and the list of Texans FAs for this year: Following is a list of the Texans' 2005 free agents by category: Unrestricted free agents QB Tony Banks CB Jason Bell LB Marcus Bell WR Corey Bradford DE Jerry Deloach DT Junior Ioane FS Marlon McCree FB Moran Norris DT Seth Payne LB DaShon Polk DE Corey Sears FS Jason Simmons T Marcus Spears CB Kenny Wright Restricted Free Agents FB Jarrod Baxter G Milford Brown LB Troy Evans CB Demarcus Faggins RB Jonathan Wells Exclusive Rights Free Agents LB D.D. Acholonu RB Jason Anderson G Brandon Evans T Garrick Jones KR J.J. Moses TE Matt Murphy LB Shantee Orr LS Bryan Pittman
Please don't bring this guy back. Keep an extra WR for KR/PR duties, they can't do any worse than Moses.
agreed, he is dependable (expect one fumble on the last game). What about Dunta returnng kicks? He's shown good return abilty on his INT's.
Don't think you'd want to risk a starter of Dunta's caliber, he's also pretty shifty but not flat out fast. I hope the Texans look at a CB or WR in the later rounds of the draft who could spend the first season returning kicks and playing special teams. Also Pac-Man Jones will most likely be available at the #13 pick, he could fill the role of KR/Nickelback until he's ready to start over Glenn.
Roscoe Parrish (Miami FL) would be a great pick for the Texans in the 3rd or 4th round to return kicks. This guy may become the next Dante Hall.
isn't parrish considered a 1st round/2nd round type of talent? He was a badass at miami last year. Unstoppable at returning kicks.
I'm worried about our chances with keeping Bradford. I can't see him as happy with the number of throws going his way. Evan
Im not really that thrilled about bringing him back. I wouldnt worry about it. He can go...wont really affect the offense.
Nah he won't make the first round because of his size but a couple of mock draft sites had him going late second round or early third. He and Devin Hester were by far the best return men in college football and the crazy thing is they play for the same team.
Has anyone heard anything about signing Joey Porter to replace Bradford?I caught the end of this on 610. On the draft..Mike Williams of USC is a major sleeper.
Bledsoe is too good to be a back up for a team with a young, stud QB. It would make more sense for him to go to Dallas and back with Parcells.
You think Carr gets sacked a lot? Imagine if the most immobile QB in the NFL were playing behind that line. It hurts to think about it. At this point, I think that Banks would have signed somewhere if he were to be getting a starting job. He has said in the past that he will re-sign with the Texans should he not get a chance to start somewhere else. I think we'll see Tony back with the clipboard in 2005. I, for one, will be glad to see him there again. Anyone but Dave Ragone.
