The Cower Era

by jahunter221 on Nov 25, 2009 10:51 PM CST

Get ready for an explosion in 2010.

When we hire Bill Cower in the offseason, he will bring the type of tenacity and leadership this young team needs. He will bring in his own O-Coordinator and D-Coordinator, and change this defense to a 3-4 and draft accordingly. He will also draft accordingly to his smashmouth style of offense. We will let Dunta, Pitts, and Walter walk, freeing up money to resign Daniels, Demeco, Pollard, and bring in Casey Hampton. Here is my Cower mock draft:

1st round - Sean Weatherspoon - Missouri - OLB - 6'2 245

2nd round - Javier Arenas - Alabama - CB - 5'9 200

3rd round - Charles Scott - LSU - RB - 5'11 233

4th round - John Jerry - Mississippi - OG - 6'5 348

5th round - Jordan Lake - Baylor - FS - 6'2 205

6th round (A) - Danario Alexander - Missouri - WR - 6'3 215

6th round (B) - Zoltan Mesko - Michigan - P - 6'5 236

7th round - Shawn Luavao - Arizona St. - OG - 6'3 310

New look Texans 2010:

OFFENSE:

QB - Schaub/Orlowski

RB - Slaton/Scott

WR - Johnson/Davis

WR - Alexander/Anderson

TE - Daniels/Casey

FB - Leach/Casey

LT - Brown/Butler

LG - Studdard/Luavao

C - Caldwell/Myers

RG - Jerry/Caldwell

RT - Winston/Butler

DEFENSE:

RE - Williams/Smith

NT - Hampton/Okam

LE - Okoye/Smith

OLB - Cushing/Diles

ILB - Ryans/Bentley

ILB - Barwin/Bentley

OLB - Weatherspoon/Diles

SS - Pollard/Barber

FS - Wilson/Lake

CB - Arenas/McCain

CB - Reeves/Bennett

Nickel CB - Quin

Any thoughts on this drastic change. I have been a Texans fan since the get go and am sick of this losing attitude, and Kubiak's inability to have his players ready. I'm ready for the Cower area.

Many thoughts...

but the only one I feel comfortable sharing without knowing you is that its good you have a dream, even if you think Cowher is spelled “Cower”

All you nancies who think Kubiak will be fired are going to be pretty disappointed in the offseason.

How can you be so sure?

Do you have a direct line to McNair, because Id like to hop on it for a few questions…

of course I cant be 100% sure. I just see it has highly unlikely based on what we see of McNair’s characters. So all these fire kubiak and hire so and so threads that have been around since WEEK 1 amuse me, because I just dont see it as being likely when the season is over.

HELLO. WE NEED TO FIX OUR LINE BEFORE WE DRAFT ANOTHER RB OR ITS POINTLESS. FIGURE IT OUT YOU NANCIES.

This makes me sick

Fuck any of you assholes who have given up. We won 4 in a row last year when we were 3-7 didn’t we? We do that now that puts us at 9-5. So fuck off with this nonsense. fuck this defense would be ATROCIOUS.

SMH.

This is ridiculous. I have many adjectives to describe it but im going to keep them to myself.

Barwin, ILB? REALLY?!

facepalm

by Jordann on Nov 26, 2009 5:10 PM CST reply actions

I think he posted it earlier this year and it was ripped up. I meak okoye as a de in a rhree four? Doesn’t make sense

Barwin

Is definitely NOT an inside linebacker lol There is a reason teams like New England were really looking at him going into the draft, and it was because of his potential as an outside linebacker in pass rushing situations.

In a 3-4 the inside linebackers would be Ryans and Cushing with Diles/Adibi on one side and Barwin on the other.

I think it'd be a terrible idea.

For one, you can’t take a pass first offense and turn it into a “smash mouth” offense and expect the same results. We’d struggle offensively for several years before we had all the pieces necessarry for it to work. Likewise you can’t change from 4-3 to 3-4 defensively and expect it to work right off the bat. We don’t have the defensive personell to make it work now and it would take at least a few years to see results. What you’d have is offensive and defensive changes that both require alot of attention in freeagency and the draft in order to make the roster fit the scheme, it’s just impossible to do both at the same time so it’d end up taking longer to get both on track.

If Cowher took a coaching job here, if he had any sense he’d adapt to the personell on the team rather than try to force into something it’s not. Besides, I actually like Kubiak as headcoach and think he’s done a pretty damn good job so far considering he was taking over the worst team in the league and is now on the verge of a playoff push.

shhh you.

The groupthink says we are already out of the playoffs. How dare you question it?

by nolander on Nov 27, 2009 12:53 PM CST up reply actions

We're a game out of the wildcard right now I think

With 6 games to play. Obviously we’re still in the hunt, but we’re also going to need to pull out some of these close games. If we pull out a win this week against the Colts i’d say we’re right back in the thick of it with about as good a chance as anyone. If we lose to the Colts we need to start watching the scoreboards across the league every week. Not to say this is a “must win” game, but it’s a pretty big one.

some people just can't take jokes.

by Jordann on Nov 27, 2009 10:14 PM CST up reply actions

Can't take jokes?

For one, there wasn’t really a joke there. There was quite a bit of sarcasm directed at the doom and gloom naysayers, all I did was restate my opinion of the team’s status, which if you haven’t is almost the exact opposite of those who the “joke” was directed at… So I don’t really get it.

Unfortanetly I see us winning ten games and missing the playoffs. Steelers, bengals broncos and chargersw already have seven wins. We already need some help.

by nolander on Nov 27, 2009 10:23 PM CST via mobile up reply actions

Even if we miss the playoffs

I would consider a ten-win season a success.

by tehGrindCrusher on Nov 28, 2009 8:20 AM CST up reply actions

I would to. I think most teams would consider that a success. Most years you can get into the playoff with 10 wins, and if you play in the NFC thats probably going to be good enough this year. There will still be a bunch of people calling for kubes heads becuase they want Cowher so bad.

by nolander on Nov 28, 2009 12:17 PM CST up reply actions

Agreed

Yay, sports.

by MDC on Nov 28, 2009 12:55 PM CST up reply actions

I should add that

I would be very surprised if we won ten games this season.

Also

agreed.

And, by “very surprised,” I mean “more shocked than I was the time I learned BFD was not required to notify his neighbors.”

Yay, sports.

by MDC on Nov 29, 2009 9:33 AM CST up reply actions

I don't know

I think the wheels are about to come off on the Broncos, and quite possibly the Chargers too leaving the team who falls apart the least as division champ. Right now I think our stiffest competition is 2 of the trio of Steelers, Bengals, and Ravens. But I don’t expect any of the potential wildcard teams to win out or even come close to it, so I don’t think we really need help, we just need for those teams to not decide to suddenly turn the tables and catch the world on fire. I think the Texans are as good a team as any of the other wild card contenders in the AFC.

by Bryan72076 on Nov 28, 2009 5:54 PM CST up reply actions

Shut

Yay, sports.

Dont know about Cowher

(he’s a good coach no doubt) But one thing i do know is that kubes needs to go if the texans arent in the playoff hunt, and no i wouldnt care if we miss the playoff by one game…
