More Staff Changes: Strength Coach And Head Trainer Gone

According to the Chronicle, your Houston Texans opted to part ways with Dan Riley (strength coach) and Kevin Bastin (head trainer) today via declining to offer them new contracts. While this isn't exactly on par with Richard Smith's dismissal (and the subsequent liberation/joy we all felt), it comes as a bit of a surprise. Both Riley and Bastin had been with the Texans since the franchise's inception, and their positions are generally not tied to coaching changes.

Good!
The Texans have had far too many injuries far too often. I like this move.

Agreed!
There’s no excuse for Matt Schaub’s knee being so frail and fragile as to not be able to withstand a 300 lb. missile launched at it from point blank range. Either find a real strength coach or sign Lee Majors. I’m sick of these fruitcakes limping around all the damn time, especially in these troubled economic times.

Damn!
I just was thinking of writing a post about how I didn’t think his strength program was worth a damn. But Kubes beat me too it.

Curious
I’d like to hear your thoughts on this. So far as I can tell everyone in the business agrees that “strength training” is necessary but no one seems to really know who’s the “best.”

Interesting
If you see Lance Z’s latest entry – the Texans had planned on bulking Schaub up last offseason, but that shoulder injury prevented it… so apparently with him going into this offseason healthy – the plan for him to bulk up is full steam ahead. Sweet. Should help his durability, for sure.

if he plays 16 games at the level he played last year
and manages to cut down on interceptions, we have an elite quarterback

You know it's a good move
If Dickie hates it.
When I'm on the mic, I'm like global warming, you can't ignore me.
