Make him earn his $10 mil. Throw him in if he thinks he’s so good

on how different the coverage responsibilities really are for the new DC. If they are quite different, then I guess maybe he might not, but you gotta think he is still better than, you know, a rookie or Molden (as long as he really is fully conditioned/in shape).

But still relieved.

On another note (an Astros note, at that—as if anyone cares), anyone catch RJ’s column today? Interesting, to say the least. His Preston Wilson story is pretty funny, too.

It’s just business.
I think Dunta should have been at camp. It would have improved his chances to demonstrate his value this year after coming off the injury. Then next year his negotiating position is much better. Now we will have him, DeMeco, Daniels, and maybe Slaton to settle contracts with next year. Should be an interesting post-season.

Which is an area exposed as a weakness. Time to get him back on the field.

Yeah, Dunta will start and he should. He plays, perhaps, one of the few positions on a football team where isolated, one-on-one play is paramount, and he has always been able to bring the goods. It takes talent, which he’s certainly proven already, and, more importantly, it takes attitude, which he’s displayed from the beginning.

I like the rookies (Quinn and McCain) but they’re still pretty wet-behind-the-ears. They need a Dunta out there to help them fine tune. Dunta’s play has always matched what Bush has attempted to rev-up this off-season. Now, he can step onto a field with a team that wants to play the style he excels in.

The business is another issue, altogether, and we, as fans, need to remember that it’s always going to be this way. We have several other good to great players that will be exerting their contract issues in the next off-season. When you stop and think that Chris Brown makes more than twice what Slayton is making this season, you start to understand how the money plays into the news. Get used to it; every other team out there has; we’ve forgotten these issues while putting a team back on the field. Now we get to join the rest of the NFL as the players’ agents work to manipulate owners and front offices to pay them what they’re worth, or what they think they’re worth.

Personally, I don’t think Dunta is worth more than he’s going to make this year, if that. But, I know we have to get him on the field at all costs! There’s only so much cash to throw around, after all, and there will be more pay problems coming when we make the playoffs—count on it!

but I will only boo when he comes onto the field and/or is introduced. After that I am a fan of the Texans and Dunta and will cheer for him unless he under performs. I say he should start too, btw.

If he can play then yes start him. I saw a comment that was credited to Kubiak that sais something like he did not think a player(D.Rob.) could play 70+ plays after holding out this long. My out right dismay to this comment is that what is he thinking; a team should not have 70+ defensive plays in a game if they are to be a winning team!!!

Oilers fan… then Texans fan. It hurts to love football in Houston. I’ve been racking my brain since yesterday trying to figure out why year after year we suck.

I think I might be on to something though…. We suck. We practice to get better. Who do we practice against? Ourselves. There in lies the problem. If all you have to do to think you are improving is beat yourself then the Texans must think they are improving week to week. Compared to us, we are good.

I bet Schaub looks like fucking Joe Montanna against our own secondary. I’m also pretty sure that Super Mario and “the other” Okoye looks awesome against our offensive line.

Maybe we should bring a talented team in to practice against. I hear the Katy Tigers got some free time.

(Before yall blast me. Keep in mind I’m a die hard. I’m just frustrated and somewhat distressed. Thank you for your consideration. Okay now blast away….)
