    Probably don't trust Arian to be fully recovered yet

    John McClain might be a fat, dumb, lazy, disgusting excuse for a human being but he doesn't take any crap from coaches or players. That is a redeemable quality.

    It would suggest that they have little to no faith in Arian Foster.

    Ronnie's numbers do suck, but he also was playing behind a line that leaking every running attempt.

    He is great in pass protection. That is why he is on the team.

    Same here, but there's no other reason to keep him around IMO

    Actually one positive thing you can say about Ronnie Brown is that he's definitely the best pass-blocking RB on the roster. I think that may play a significant role as well.

    I'm guessing Denham gets cut after letting the punt get blocked yesterday.

    What about the defense? Who has gotten released besides that one safety?

    Instead of him taking a roster spot, he should just retire and be a assistant RB coach with us.....

    So far that's the only one on defense, but there's a ton more cuts to go

    Well if this is accurate

    <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p>The knowing the system seems to be the deciding factor for the QBs behind Fitz. <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Texans?src=hash">#Texans</a></p>&mdash; PDS (@PatDStat) <a href="https://twitter.com/PatDStat/statuses/505438391672913921">August 29, 2014</a></blockquote>

    it would mean that only former players would be considered so we can start up the Mallett talk again once he gets cut.

    Does anybody watch the O'Brien press conferences on houstontexans.com? If so, does the screen go blank on you?

    I don't watch every press conference but the few that I have watched over the last couple of weeks the screen goes blank as soon as O'Brien walks to the microphone. I can hear the audio but there's no picture. Just wondering if I'm the only one experiencing this problem.

    I dont see us picking up a QB on waivers just because they would never play... they would be so far behind all the other QBs as far as knowing the system and once the season starts the coaches dont have time to be teaching the basics.

    and dont say Mallet because if B.O.B had any faith in him at all he would have already made a move for him... just because he has played for him before doesn't mean B.O.B thought he was any good.

    Ok, thanks. Glad it's not just me. I'll send a note to them and hopefully they'll fix the problem.
