Buffalo Rumblings On Bill Kollar
As promised yesterday, here are the thoughts of Brian over at Buffalo Rumblings on our new defensive line coach:
What I know about Bill Kollar is this: he's one of the most well-respected defensive line coaches in all of football. He's an intelligent, passionate, forceful coach that values character and consistently hard work. He gets the most out of his players. He's as good a position coach as you can find in today's NFL.
I'm pretty ambivalent about the vast majority of Buffalo's coaching staff, but Kollar is one guy I had no qualms about. His lines produced everywhere he went before he came to Buffalo; don't let the fact that Buffalo's defensive line has sucked for the past couple of seasons allow anything positive you've heard about Kollar to be tarnished. The Bills simply don't have enough talent along the line; there's only so much turd-polishing that one man can take. I'm certain that the opportunity to coach the likes of Mario Williams, Travis Johnson and Amobi Okoye was a tremendous pull for Kollar. With talent to work with in Houston, I suspect he'll have his line returning to its productive ways in no time.
Makes you feel even better about the hire, doesn't it? My only concern about the analysis is that word of Travis Johnson's awfulness apparently hasn't crossed the New York state line yet.

Or, hoping against hope...
…maybe TJ won’t suck once Kollar is done with him.
I can dream, can’t I?

That Kind Of Dream
Has to be chemically induced.
Looking forward to a day when being a Texans fan doesn't mean that April is the highlight of my season...

TJ might surprise us this year
It’s his contract year! Hopefully it goes like this – TJ turns into a monster, has his best year by FAR… and we say congratulations, thanks for the great play this season – now get the F out of here.

Good point about the contract year. It has a magical effect on performance level.
Here is what I am dreaming for. TJ has a great season, then we pull a sign and trade deal yielding a #2 draft pick.

I'll just take the
TJ has a great season. And count that as a victory.
I don’t see us dumping him in a contract year. Isn’t he at the very least a decent backup to whomever we sign/draft?
Please draft some defensive stars for the next DC.

Who said anything about dumping him in a contract year?
Dump him AFTER the season. I’m saying – let’s hope he’s one of these guys who don’t do jack until their contract year… then we get rid of him after.

A great season for TJ
2 sacks (career high, iirc), 1 interception (putting him only one behind Weaver iirc) and one unconscious qb taunted.
The third one should get him some notice up in Dallas.

Well Said
Travis has been grossly underwhelming since he became a Texan. Contract year or not, I’m not expecting anything more from him. I will therefore continue trotting out my wish from the last two (2) offseasons: Cut him.

I like my plan better because it really stinks to get absolutely nothing in return for a #1 pick
a la Jason Babin. So far we have gotten next to nothing from TJ. It is clear that Coach Kollar is not going to settle for what TJ has been up to now. Either he gets with the program, or you WILL get your wish. DelJuan showed all of us that a hungry street free agent can outpreform an overpaid #1 pick. Next he will replace him in the starting lineup unless TJ pulls his head out. Will be interesting to see the new attacking style of play that Bush & Kollar promise to deliver.
GO TEXANS!!!!!!!!!!!!

HOPE !!!
I like the oiler-texan diehard plan to try and get something for all the money and time we put into him instead of just letting him walk away. The only way I would keep him on our roster is if his he would take a deal as a backup. Lord knows when he gets paid he stops playing.
If you aint Texans then F@!# You!!!!
