Wow great listen and I don’t even regularly listen to podcasts. Definitely a fan and will be tuning in going forward. Wishing nothing but luck to my second favorite Texan ever.
This is good stuff, only a little bit is about McNair. Very wide ranging A few things: -They agree they would have won the Super Bowl if Schaub stayed healthy -Andre felt underutilized in the red zone (because they went to Arian) -The Finnegan thing had been building for awhile -They were frustrated that they weren't active in free agency, that the Texans would build through draft and then let guys go
Yeah I didn't quite get that. He said a lot of players weren't doing anything. Don't all teams have basically the same number of players?
Here's the roster: https://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/htx/2012_roster.htm He mentioned never getting WR helps so I'm thinking he thought Kevin Walter was just taking space as he was blocking lol. Others just taking space: Lestar Jean (remember him?), Keyshawn Martin, Devier Posey, Brandon Harris, Pleasant, Brice, Nolan, etc.
I think he was basically saying that they had no depth, starters were playing ST because the guys at the back end of the roster were useless, which is a sign of a bad GM/scouting. I think even Kevin Walter would tell you there is a huge difference between having someone like DeAndre Hopkins across from Andre Johnson than himself. That said, I don't recall WR ever being a huge issue in the Kubiak era. We ran so well when Arian got here, plus he caught passes, and OD was a solid threat over the middle.
