    If he was in a walking boot, he'd have a broken leg or foot and would probably not play this season.

    What I'm saying is its not a walking boot or anything close to resembling one.

    Being in a walking boot doesn't mean you have a broken anything. Many wear walking boots for very minor issues.

    2013 Texans 4th round draft pick got released by yet another team. I honestly expected him to end up being better than what he's shown.

    i know we're somewhat stacked at the WR position, but i would love to see what reggie wayne could do on a minimum deal opposite of deandre.

    I think Cecil Shorts is the perfect fit, but I don't think he'll be healthy all season at all.

    Shorts is perfect. I was lobbying for him since the off season started. If Strong can step into the number two role, and our TEs are decent, we could be a good offense. No matter who is behind Center.

    5 were picks by the Texans:
    Cushing
    Jackson
    Watt
    Mercilus
    Clowney

    Are the other two Joseph and Wilfork?

    When you are a 20 year old kid that is almost certain to get a fully guaranteed 250 million dollar contract at some point in the next few years, you can do pretty much whatever you want.

    Our draft picks from last year seem to be much improved except for XSF.

    Nix has apparently looked good. CJ's route running and blocking are much better, Blue has more explosiveness, Prosch looked fantastic last game and Savage doesn't even look like the same player.

    I still have faith in XSF, he looked very good vs the Titans but got injured. Not sure what to expect from Clowney, but Patdstat said he looks a lot stronger this year.

    Our draft class has looked solid. Everything about Kevin Johnson has been positive, McKinney has had a lot of positive news from camp, but his pass protection last game needs work (was his main knock in the draft). Covington looked very good and Keith Mumphery has been solid and Jaelen Strong has looked solid.

    Hopefully this translates to the regular season
