    anyone catch the andre interview on arian's podcast?

    heard a clip on the way to work about andre requesting a trade after the 2012 loss to NE in the playoffs. another tidbit about how he asked for a legit WR when we brought it ed reed, and he and another unnamed texan player predicted the 2-14 season coming the year prior. said everything was off the rails and our roster was in disarray

    That's not really surprising given that the reason for that record was the players giving up on the team and Kubiak. For whatever reason, the players didn't seem to get the heat for that they should have.

    Deshaun Watson and Bob McNair are going to make the Texans America's team. For two totally different reasons.

    They also said they would have won the Super Bowl if Schaub didn't get hurt.

    NFL rosters are going to have turnover with salary cap rules. I don't think they really were grappling with that fact.

    From what I heard, Andre was mad that we had starters playing special teams, and a bunch of players taking up space. Payne referenced Roc Charmichael.

    Highly doubt it when we have Fuller, who we spent a 1st rounder on him.

    It doesn't look great (which I think we're getting someone in the draft or UDFA), but I'm pretty sure we're going into battle with Nuk, Fuller, Coates, Brax, and B. Ellington when Game 1 starts.

    Lol Texans don’t have any balls to do this. Bob is Jerrys brother. He won’t go behind his back to grab a former player.

    they need to risk it and do it.. but like you said i doubt it this organization is weak minded and settles for little. He will sign with the patriots book it.

    That would be awesome, but highly doubt it's going to happen.

    He'll be a Patriot by tomorrow.

    exactly - because unlike the Texans the Patriots actually aim for super bowls.. they can have 10 WR's and they would still sign him..

    "We are not pursuing any WRs because of Will Fuller & Braxton Miller. They're working hard, getting better every day John."

    Is that like their plan of not pursuing any TEs because they got Ryan Griffin & Stephen Anderson? ;)

    I always like a deep threat alongside a possession receiver. I think Dez is more of a possession receiver at this point in his career and so is Hopkins. Dez might have to be a #3 on this team. If he's okay with that, which I doubt, then i'd take him.
