Texans Trade Scenarios. What Would You Like to See?

Let's hear something a little more realistic, please...

Let's hear something a little more realistic, please...

What many casual NFL fans don't realize is that the NFL trade deadline is nothing like MLB's. There are usually two or three moves, max. So, please, for the love of baby Jesus, quit calling in to Sports Radio 610 and saying things like "Houston should trade Chris Brown and a 6th rounder to the Rams for Steven Jackson." You sound like an idiot.

Do I think Houston should make a move? If there is something you can't pass up, sure. Always make the calls to see what's out there. But there is no particular players out there that I can think of that we should go after. There are plenty of players that I would love to see in a Texans uniform. But as good as this unit seems at drafting, it needs to be someone special before I think of giving up anything more than a third round pick.

If the team feels like they can get a player that is going to put them over the top and make a playoff push, of course they should do it. Especially if this coaching staff feels like this is their make or break season to keep their jobs.

Personally, I am still about adding to the defense. If you get anything worthwhile for Dunta Robinson, you do it. Because the chances of him being back next year are virtually zero. Especially with DeMeco Ryans and Owen Daniels more deserving of getting paid.

So, with the deadline tomorrow, I figured this could be a "post your trade scenario" thread. So, fire away. Let's try to keep it realistic.

Nobody's going to want DRob

Nobody’s going to pay $600k a game for a nickel corner, especially not one whose contract only lasts the current season. If someone’s stupid enough to take him, then by all means.

Everyone knows it would take Chris Brown and a 5th rounder

And Cleveland would definitely move him for that. We won’t do it though.

Fuck being realistic

Cleveland desperately needs a QB.

We straight up trade the Sex Cannon for Rogers. Hell, as a bonus, I’ll even find a buyer for Medicine Woman’s house.

We’d need to involve the Jets in the deal so Mangini could get 3 more backups he liked there.

But at this moment, LB is not a position we are in need of. Not even close. That’s something I couldn’t say 6 months ago.

I loved DJ coming out

but of course the Texans drafted Travis Johnson instead. But as far as trading goes I wouldn’t trade draft choices for anything other than a run stuffing DT, or a significant upgrade at safety.

I thought

That Dunta couldn’t be traded this year because he didn’t sign his tender in time, is that not so?

Great post Mike, I think you’re right that there is no chance we pull off a trade. If I did have to pick an under the radar one, I heard that Kansas City was quietly shopping Glen Dorsey. If you could get him for the right price, that could be a sneaky deal. I would give more than a 3rd rounder though, and they would want at least a 2nd if not a first. That would be too much to ask but Dorsey has struggled because he was a 4-3 guy and thy switched to a 3-4.

You know... for kids.

I’d be in for Dorsey for the right price.

DJ is a need

I think a good weak side linebacker is a huge need. Zac Diles is a good depth guy but thats it. Derrick Johnson would be a great pick up b/c the asking price should not be very high, and he would be an instant upgrade. we could probably package jacoby and a 5th for him easy

by mfalknor89 on Oct 19, 2009 5:21 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

Im failing to see how Diles hasnt been solid all season so far. We also have Adibi. Giving away picks for another LB seems dumb to me.

We trade Rex and A. Davis to the Titans for C- K. Mawae. They NEED a QB and an exp. WR/KR and we NEED a C w/ exp. It just seems to me that you need exp./vet. leadership on the O-line & we keep speed & youth on D

Mfaulkner89 is right. Diles is backup caliber only. Derrick Johnson is a playmaker botom line. We are just now getin used to the idea of 2 stud LBs, could you imagine having 3? They are shopping him. And they want offense, Davis and a fourth. Make it happen Rick!

im old school, i believe in making changes in the off-season, and building your team via draft. why bring in a guy mid-season??? im fine with the team we have now, win or lose.
but…
since we ARE just thinking wishfully, i wouldn’t mind Cory Redding on our d-line. i actually played with his big brother at Northshore, he’s a local guy, graduated from UT. i also wouldn’t mind stealing Griff back from the TITS, he’s a pretty good SS.

cheifs just traded one of there DL

Panthers acquired DT Tank Tyler from the Chiefs for a 2010 fifth-round draft pick.

The 2007 third-round pick started all 16 games in 2008, but has only started two games this season after the Chiefs switched to the 3-4 defense. He will help a depleted Carolina defensive line.

Something for Michael Huff

Maybe Andre Davis + a mid-late round pick? Not sure how much they value him, but the Raiders certainly drop a helluva lotta passes, and we could certainly use a safety.

Stephen Jackson from the Rams

Jackson for a 2nd or 3rd rounder + Chris Brown

Jackson won't jump ship easily, he's all they got

I say bring in Shaun Rogers for Orlovsky & look for a power back somewhere, maybe Brian Leonard from the Bengals for Chris Brown, a 4th & 6th rd pick.

Lendale White

Think about it.

1.) The Tits are going nowhere fast.
2.) White has been the forgotten man in the Tits’ offense.
3.) Rumor has it that Fisher is on the hot seat, so he may be open to acquiring something that may fit his scheme and dumping someone who doesn’t.

The Texans could use White…really!

I suppose if all of the stars, moons and planets align it could be possible, but what are the chances of that?

by Rip Jersey on Oct 20, 2009 2:14 AM CDT reply actions   0 recs

But would they do a trade with a division rival?

by nolander on Oct 20, 2009 9:36 AM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

That may be the only part of the trade

…that might not be realistic. Other than it being a trade between division rivals, it is intriguing. The Tits are struggling bad and need something. Their running attack isn’t struggling with “Coaches Dream” snagging the lion’s share of the handoffs. I didn’t do much research to find out who their other options are at that position and I don’t know what White’s contract situation, but if the Texans have what the Titans want and Bud Adams thinks outside the box like we know Fisher can, maybe there is a trade with White in it. Is Dunta a possibility in this? How are the Titans at cornerback? Give Rick Smith a call and get him to make this happen!

Even with how badly they are banged up I doubt Dunta on his franchise would be appealing.

by nolander on Oct 20, 2009 10:08 AM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

So who do you want to put in Dunta's place...

when you trade a CB + whatever else for a RB. Sorry but I can’t go with you on that one. I know how most feel about Dunta and I’m there too but we act like he is giving up TD after TD which just isn’t the case. Would you feel better with Lendale in the backfield and FRED BENNETT in Dunta’s place – I sure as hell wouldn’t. This scenario just doesn’t make sense to me.

Instead of getting back a key player

I would much rather give up Dunta for a draft pick. He was once one of my favorites but has now completely wore out his welcome in Houston. I know we want get much for the guy but if we could give him to somebody as a rental and pick up a second day pick I would be ecstatic.

Raid the Craptacular Teams

The Skins, Raiders, and Browns suck tremendously and are looking to deal. The Skins have a great D and we should get any of their secondary like Hall, Landry, or Horton. Same thing with Huff for the Raiders and Brodney Pool for Cleveland (plus Huff and Pool are local boys).

Granted, Snyder’s more about giving away picks than stockpiling, so if we could magically pawn off Dunta for a 5th or higher i’d say go for it.

off topic....

 What the ESPN guys said about the TITS:
Keyshawn Johnson: "You start by saying … it looked like they quit to me. Now, you say, how do you quit as a professional football player, being paid? … You quit because for one, you came to a town where it’s snowing. You didn’t expect for it to be snowing. Not only that, you’re 0–5. You really have nothing to play for but pride. Not everybody quit. There were a few guys that were out there playing … but when you’re 0–5, and you know there’s no playoffs coming, chances are a lot of people have backed up the U-Haul and started to think about what’s going to happen next season, what’s going to happen in the offseason. That’s just the way it is."
Tom Jackson: "It’s hard for me to relate to this because you can lose as long as I don’t see a lack of effort. And I agree. Collectively, the team quit … (But) I’m going to point out a guy (who didn’t quit). Keith Bulluck, who I’m a real fan of at linebacker, he makes 14 tackles over the course of a game … and he is hustling to make plays. Putting his nose in there, sticking it in and he’s got the attitude that he is embarrassed and angry about what is happening to his football team. That’s the attitude that I had when I played. I don’t know that other attitude. I don’t know how to go out there and quit, and I don’t know how it happens to a Jeff Fisher-coached team. That really is the mystery to me."
Cris Carter: "I know it’s not a reflection on him. This is what you have when you have a bunch of guys that have nothing to play for, and guys don’t want to get hurt. That’s what you see. When guys don’t want to get hurt, they shy away from the pile, they move a little bit slower."
Mike Ditka: "This defensive secondary is absolutely horrible. And I understand they have injuries, but they’re horrible. They don’t fit. They don’t do anything right. They don’t cover. They don’t do anything right right now. That’s why they’re getting burned."
Cris Carter: "Me and Key(shawn) can play free and strong safety and get nine people on campus here at ESPN and Tom Brady will not go throw the ball for 29 out of 34 (like he did) yesterday. It was ridiculous what they did … Guy dropping straight back, didn’t even want to cover people. Wes Welker and them were shocked, they were so wide open."
Chris Berman: "No pro team should lose 59–0? That’s USC against Brown."

No pro team should lose 59–0? That’s USC against Brown.

Ouch.

my fav. line?

Me and Key(shawn) can play free and strong safety and get nine people on campus here at ESPN and Tom Brady will not go throw the ball for 29 out of 34 (like he did) yesterday.
double OUCH.

You guys heard this?

Jeff Fisher went to the Rocketown lunch wearing a Peyton Manning jersey and said “I just wanted to feel like a winner.” It’s sad it’s come to this.

Why don't we trade

Barwin for a TE that can play DE instead of having a DE that can play TE? We really need more dedicated TE’s on this team.

Shaun Rogers

I was willing to give up a second round pick for Shaun Rogers in the offseason, and I would do it now more than ever. He is an absolute animal in the middle. He could make our defense in time a top 10 D.

RE – Williams/Bulman
RT – Okoye/Bulman
LT – Rogers/Okam
LE – Smith/Barwin

SLB – Cushing/Bentley
MLB – Ryans/Bentley
WLB – Diles/Adibi

SS – Pollard/Barber
FS – Wilson/Busing

CB – Robinson/McCain
CB – Reeves/Bennett
NC – Quinn/Molden

Any thoughts on this beast of a defense?

Would have been nice.

Guess Rick Smith would rather waste another first round pick on an unproven player then ship off a lower pick for a proven player.

next year, Bill Cower and a 3-4 defense.

RE – Okam

NT – Rogers

LE – Okoye

OLB/DE – Williams

MLB – Ryans

MLB – Cushing

OLB – Barwin

SS – 1st rd pick

FS – Wilson

CB – Robinson

CB – 2nd round pick

Nickel Corner – Quinn

Rumplestiltskin

idea

fuck off with this shit. We are 3-3 and tied with all the wild card teams. We just beat a 4-1 team. Stop hoping our coach gets fucking fired. None of your ideas for the 3-4 even make sense to start with. We would suck so hard if that was our alignment, even if getting rodgers for less then a 2nd was even close to possible.

by nolander on Oct 20, 2009 10:00 PM CDT up reply actions   1 recs

Seriously, Akoye as a DE in a 3-4? Are you on fucking meth? Robinson coming back next year? OKAM at DE? good god man.

if

If Mario got his weight down to about 280 he could play linebacker in a 3-4 like shawn merriman.

because the 4-3 has worked so well right?

Seriously why do you think simply changing to a 3-4 will magically fix our defense? The player set up you suggested also made little sense, and half the players would be in positions where they wouldn’t be able to contribute. Our defense would be WORSE with that setup. Its never been an issue of our d being a 4-3. Its been the talent and the coaching.

Again, look at what our defense has done in the last 6 quarters. Players are playing, coaches are coaching. You are already throwing in the towel a 1/3 of the way through a season where we are actually in a real position to make a playoff run.

Little sense?

Try no sense.

Super Mario as an OLB?

OMG! Richard Smith signed up for an account on SB nation!
Are you even aware of what responsibilities an OLB has?
Okam and Okoye as our RDE and LDE?

Im sorry. Im just wasting my time.
Im gonna ignore you from now on.

How'd the 3-4 work for us?

Same situation, really. If you don’t have the coaching and personnel, you’re going to suck regardless of scheme. And right now, we’re much closer to having the personnel for a solid 4-3 defense.

We have two strengths: Mario Williams, and our linebackers. Mario is a natural 4-3 DE. By moving him to OLB in a 3-4, we’d be negating his run-stopping skills, which is what separates him from the pure pass-rushers in this league.

Amobi was built to play UT. Barwin is really the only player on our team who would benefit from the switch, but I think they’ll find a way to make him successful in our scheme as it is.

By moving Cushing and DeMeco to ILB, you wind up moving two of your stars to a fairly simple and, dare I say, easy to fill position. You don’t really need athletic play-makers to play 3-4 ILB, just solid tacklers.

Anyways, I’m starting to think that Frank Bush might have a shot in this league. He’s a linebacker guy, and how he uses his linebackers is going to decide how successful he is as a coordinator. I think we’re just starting to see how well he understands defense by how flexible he has been with Cushing and DeMeco, particularly against the run. The more success he has, the more confident he’ll be to use those guys in any manner necessary. And what better way to have success on defense than by utilizing your best players as much as possible?

Good job nolander and nashmeister trying to explain it to him although I’m still not sure he understands.

On some trade related news.

We traded a 7th round pick for a TE.

Good call Texanphil.

I heard he’s very versatile too and can play FB and Kicker.

Was it

Billy Miller?

I hope not.

I heard that when you pick up Billy Miller, Captain Hairspray goes with him. Like a package deal of some sort.
