Dexter Wynn--Back Agynn

They can't all be gems, people. But according to Brooke Bentley's training camp report, your Houston Texans brought Dexter Wynn back for another tour of duty in light of Jimmy Williams' move to the injured reserve list. While this probably won't have an impact on the opening roster, it's worth noting because of Wynn's ability to contribute on special teams as well as the secondary. Wynn's a long shot to make the squad to be sure, but you never know. Some other brief thoughts, inspired by the article linked above unless otherwise noted:

1. Chris Brown practiced! I hope someone took a picture of the NFL's version of Our Lady of Fatima.

2. Speaking of miracles, that's what it's going to take for Brown and/or Mike Bell to make the team. Injured and/or winded are not exactly endearing qualities for players trying to make a Gary Kubiak-coached team. I like to think of C. Brown and M. Bell as gazelles, and Smithiak as a cheetah.

3. Don't play 'Dre on Saturday night, Kubes. There's no possible way it can be worth the risk.

4. Call me a sadist, but my first response when I read the report about the shoving match between the OL and DL was, "I really hope Travis Johnson went Steve Smith on someone." Alas, I ain't living that right.

5. Real, live, exhibition football that doesn't mean anything is less than a week away. I need a change of pants, stat.

Back Agynn, soon to be gone Agynn

Dexter willfill the same role as Jimmy Williams; training camp body who has no real shot of making the roster. More evidence of our improved depth.

Considering Kubiak’s impression of C Brown in OTAs, Mike Bell’s apparent lack of a work ethic and CB’s history in the ZBS I think he still has a decent chance to be the beta back.

No way Dre is playing Saturday. Can’t be 120% by then. Can’t risk your best athlete in a meaningless exhibition.

Props to the Panthers for showing the guts to suspend their best playmaker for being a jerk. Too many times, superstars are not punished for their bad behavior. TJ has to know that the wolves are nipping at his heels, and I am hoping he will use that as motivation to play up to his potential.

Lastly, I hope that you have changed your pants by now. I too am looking forward to the Texans game Saturday night. GO TEXANS!!!!!!!!!!!!

I Lyke Wynn

He never did anything spectacular but did a good job returning kicks and playing in the secondary while we were decimated by injuries over the past two seasons.

The guy had over 1,000 KO return yards over the past 2 years and he was much more fun to watch return kicks than Wali Lundy or Sam Gado.

It is nice to see these players getting pushed off the roster by younger and more talented players.

It's Our Time.... or something...
