    lawd this rail isn't going to last long in the NFL with that size. In the NFL those hits will come from the backside

    A few good examples of this can be found online, but I like this image the best.

    The hits from the backside are not nearly as bad as the ones coming that you see. When you see the hit coming you tense up, it makes it more painful.

    Those backside hits you never see coming, you are still lose and your body absorbs the contact better.

    Trust me.

    Texans should trade for Mark Sanchez and draft Clowney.

    Seems like Ted and RGIII are the only QBs who go airborne upon getting tackled. not good

    Whats the concern???

    Bridgewater doesn't run out of the pocket like a wild man like RG3

    Put it to you this way, Bridgewater is a much much better qb than RG3 coming out the league.

    put another way, RGIII was more hyped than Ted coming out of college.

    Signed Richard Seymour to Big Ben

    Signed Pittsburgh Steelers WWE squad to Vince Young.

    Signed Joe Mayd to Matt Schaub's ear

    I hate post from people who try to dig negatives out of holes with nothing in them. You are a terrible poster when it comes to football in my opinion. Other things I've read you have came off intelligent. Did you just pick the sport up?

    Would that have mattered if the Ravens D had given up over 40 points to the Pats like the Texans D did? Flacco had a few hot games involving just a ton of luck on hail mary style passes that just so happened to come down in the hands of one of his guys but he's just an average QB.

    So you believe Ted is 1-1 worthy, even with that small frame and the fact that their SOS was so poor? I know you're a fanboy, but there's some question marks on the guy.

    when do the Interviews and private workouts start? Is this after the Super Bowl?
    Or is this after the Combine? Can Teams talk to prospects at any time?

    The SOS is a non factor

    I hate how people act like football players' bodies never change and mature as they progress in the league. :rolleyes:

    I hate how people will use examples of QBs who weren't drafted in the 1st round and or set on the bench for 3 years before they got an opportunity to play as a justification for taking another player with the #1 overall pick.

    Your post makes no sense.

    I'm not going back and forth with you on this.

    I guess one reason to take Clowney is to fill the hole when JJ Watt leaves

    There is question marks about everyone. I just thought the reason you discredited him was a bit iffy at best. I personally do not think any of the QB's are 1-1 worthy. Andrew Luck was 1-1 worthy, as he was that kind of prospect. Clowney is going to get so much hype this draft after he destroys the combine in shorts. Barr looks too raw to be taken early and the best player in this draft is Sammy Watkins(top 3 wideout in 3 years) which isn't a need on this team.

    The Texans need is a QB, and after Bridge/Manziel, the QB class looks like complete crap IMO. You take the better player after watching these two after film. I think after what the coaches have said about Birdwater, he will be the pick after he gets interviewed by the Texans.

    Give me Clowney.

    I bet if given the chance, the Packers would have loved to pair Deacon Jones with Reggie White.

    We get that chance. This Org would be STUPID to pass up this chance.

    And you bringing up QBs who weren't drafted #1 overall (2 of which not even drafted in the 1st round) as a reason that Teddy will get bigger is.... Lol...

    Show the comparison of how Mike Vick looked when he first came in the league until now. Because that's closer to what Teddy is built like. But that probably wouldn't make sense to you either.
