    Hey, in his defense, that was a 3rd string WR he was going against. Probably just signed off the PS

    Clowney was really big against the run yesterday

    Lets all move on

    Texans are doing better against the rush so far this season

    I'm alright with this. We're going to beat teams in the playoffs by playing man. Roby and Conley could be good together.


    Worth the risk.

    Re-Build? Why do the need to re-build? How about this: Every dumb post makes you look like a dumbass. How about that?

    Typical Bob O'Brien overpay.

    Did we just trade for Phillip Buchanon? :eek::p

    On April 25, 2005 the Raiders traded Buchanon to the Houston Texans for a second and third round pick in the 2005 NFL Draft. He spent two years in Houston playing in 14 games, recording 37 tackles. He played four games for the Texans in 2006 before being released on October 16, 2006.



    Jason McCourty & 7th round pick for 6th round pick
    Nate Hairston for 6th round pick
    Marcus Peters & 6th round pick for 2nd & 4th round picks
    Marcus Peters for Kenny Young & 5th round pick
    Duke Dawson & 7th round pick for 6th round pick
    Charvarius Ward for G Parker Ehinger
    Ronald Darby for Jordan Matthews & 3rd round pick
    Eli Apple for 4th & 7th round picks
    Jalen Ramsey for 1st, 1st & 4th round picks

    Gareon Conley for 3rd round pick
    Keion Crossen for 6th round pick


    https://www.raidersbeat.com/gareon-...-before-raiders-got-a-3rd-round-pick-for-him/

    Vic Tafur, who broke the news that Conley was traded, talked about the former first-round pick after the Packers game and added that Conley never seemed to have a strong drive to get better.

    “You always hear Gruden talk about ‘this guy loves football, he’s a guy who eats and loves football,’” Tafur said of Conley on his weekly State of the Nation podcast. “I don’t get the impression that Gareon Conley really loves football.”

    https://www.si.com/nfl/2019/10/21/n...ns-vikings-gareon-conley-trade-raiders-texans

    The Raiders’ willingness to deal former first-round pick Gareon Conley—he was sent to Houston for a third-round pick Monday—has two central elements to it. First, the guy who drafted him, former Oakland GM Reggie McKenzie, was fired by the Raiders in December, so naturally there’s less investment in the player. Second, Oakland is pretty optimistic about a trio of young corners they have on the come—second-round pick Trayvon Mullen, fourth-round pick Isaiah Johnson (who’s coming back off of IR) and undrafted free agent Keisean Nixon. By trading away Conley, these guys will get a ton of work for the rest of the year, and the team will head into next year’s draft with three third-round picks, which should pair nicely with their two No. 1s.

    • For the Texans, getting Conley was a borderline no-brainer, because cornerback has been an issue for Houston since A.J. Bouye bolted for Jacksonville. Conley might have gone in the top 10 in the 2017 draft, but he was accused of raping a woman in a Cleveland hotel (Conley denied the allegations, and a grand jury ruled to not charge Conley in July of that year).

    The Texans also didn’t have to look far for background on Conley—his college teammate and fellow former first-round corner, Bradley Roby, is on Houston’s roster.

    Thanks. I started feeling bad being the only one making posts like this. :)

    Texans need a GM to better negotiate these trades. Imagine if the Texans got a 3rd or anything for Aaron Colvin

    Did they at least get the Raiders to pay the remaining of his 2019 salary or half of his 2020 salary?!

    Man...I’m supporting you here. I am propping up your claims. I’m not the one saying they are in the bottom ten.

    Sorry also yards per carry is important. Lets nust let it play out. When i watch the Texans I'm not bothered by the run. These numbers are still influenced by saints game
