Let's cut right to the chase. In 2010, the Houston Texans will end their playoff drought of eight years.
There have been many before me who have predicted the End of the Playoff Drought. There is one thing that all of them have in common. They were all wrong! You may think that I am trying to whip up Texans fandom hysteria by making my prediction that the playoff drought will end. You are right!
Here are my other predictions.
Name Game:
Kevin Walter or Jacoby Jones? Jacoby Jones
Steve Slaton or Arian Foster? Arian Foster
Dunta Robinson or Glover Quin? Glover Quin
Numbers Game:
Texans Wins: 12
Schaub TD Passes: 40
Defense Rank: 4
Draft Game:
1st Round: ballhawking Safety
2nd Round: swift but large Offensive Guard
3rd Round: the best Defensive Tackle still available
Fill in the blank:
____________ will be even better in 2010. Andre Johnson
There is no way ____________ will be with the Texans in 2010. Chris Brown
____________ will be the most improved Texan in 2010. Connor Barwin
It's all about the money:
DeMeco Ryans: resigned
Owen Daniels: resigned
Dunta Robinson: Fuck Dunta!
What did I leave out?
The Texans will finish first in the AFC South Division (going 5-1 in the division)
Andre Johnson will be a 1st rounder fantasy player
Unicorns and rainbows will appear after Mario faceplants VY for a safety in the Music City on the way to a righteous rout! Bud Adams will OD on Old Fashions and be rushed from the stadium.

Listening to Koobs,
they didn’t seem too impressed with what Caldwell was doing with his playing time. He also seemed open to Jacoby starting in place of Kevin Walter. I was upset with Koobs for perpetuating the myth that Cunta is a top notch corner though.

Caldwell
was in his first year, and could blossom. (very hopeful)
JJ will supplant KW, and imo, they may not even match KW’s rfa offer if the offer is excessive.
KW did not have a good year, and JJ made a sick amount of plays compared to his playing time.
Mount Cody in round 1
Walter had a decent year
Ended up with around 660 yards. I think he lost alot of yards to OD early on, not to mention the first two games he missed due to injury.
I don't know if Schaub doesn't trust him
or what, cuz he didn’t seem to get many targets.
He did make plays when he was thrown to, and some nice catches at that.
But maybe Schaub didn’t target him because he wasn’t open.
JJ seemed to make big plays more than Walter with a lot less playing time.
And Walter didn’t get a ton more production when OD went down, so I’m not sure OD stole anything from him. I just think Walter wasn’t open all year.
Mount Cody in round 1
Seems like it kinda sorta went up after OD went down
http://www.nfl.com/players/kevinwalter/gamelogs?id=WAL652190
Only had 7 fewer receptions though, so his ypc went down to 11ish from 15.
I watched every play of every game
and the only KW catch that sticks out was at the 1 yard line where he showed incredible hands.
I really don’t remember his name being called much past his first game back from injury.
And JJ was the backup, and I remember him making an enormous amount of plays, big plays, as a WR. He needs more time. (Starting WR2 in 2010)

The Texans will finish first in the AFC South Division (going 4-2 in the division—losses at IND and JAX)
Steve Slaton will be a fantasy steal in the 4th round of your draft
Gary Kubiak will win more challenges than he loses…because he’ll put someone with some damned common sense in the booth to tell him when to throw the flag
Amobi Okoye will quietly have 7 sacks and be a monster in run defense
Jim Caldwell delenda est.
three tags?
Meco, OD, KW seems simple enough to me. KW maybe not, the price may be too steep.
That is, unless Meco agrees to a long term contract. But it gives the FO leverage to keep his salary low.
Mount Cody in round 1
Problem with tagging OD and KW
is the price for both will be ridiculous. Not over-the-cap ridiculous, but high enough due to things like (in OD’s case) KWII’s recent contract than it will likely be more than we want to pay.
Jim Caldwell delenda est.

OD is worth a tag
if things don’t work out.
He deserves top 5 money. Thats the tag cost, right?
I agree KW would be way overpriced for a tag, as I said. I think we sign him cheap, or JJ is our WR2 in 2010.
Mount Cody in round 1
TE tag
will be about $4.25M (though I read somewhere else it would be $4.46M…whatever). The more I think about it, the more I think the best play with Daniels, assuming no new CBA, is to tender OD a one-year deal at the level that corresponds with what we want in return. To wit:
The player’s original team maintains the First Refusal Right if the team tenders a contract offer of one year at $1.01 M.
The player’s original team maintains the Right of First Refusal and Draft Selection at the Player’s Original Draft Round (from the team with which he signs) if the team tenders an offer of one year at the same amount(s) listed above OR at least 110% of the player’s prior year’s salary — whichever is greater.
The player’s original team maintains the Right of First Refusal and Second Round Draft Selection (from the team with which he signs) if the team tenders an offer of one year at $$1.545 million OR at least 110% of the player’s prior year’s salary — whichever is greater.
The player’s original team maintains the Right of First Refusal and First Round Draft Selection (from the team with which he signs) if the team tenders an offer of one year at $2.198 million OR at least 110% of the player’s prior year’s salary — whichever is greater.
The player’s original team maintains the Right of First Refusal and First Round Draft Selection and Third Round Draft Selection (both from the team with which he signs) if the team tenders an offer of one year at $2.792 million OR at least 110% of the player’s prior year’s salary — whichever is greater.
Because OD made $2.792M this season, we’d basically have to offer him 10% more money as a tender. If another team signed him to an offer sheet, we’d get a first- and third-round pick. Now, seriously, given that he’s coming off an injury, why in the world would we F-tag him for $4 to $5M when we could pay him just over $3M and dangle him for a first and third? I don’t even think it’s a concern that he would get pissed and not sign the tender until the last minute because he knows we would always have the option of tagging him the next season if he pulled that (and because he needs to prove he’s healthy if he wants a big deal here or elsewhere).
As for K-Dub, it cost the Bucs $9.88M to tag Antonio Bryant last year. I’ll kill someone if Walter gets that, even for a season.
Jim Caldwell delenda est.
by MDC on Jan 7, 2010 8:13 AM CST up reply actions
that sounds right
$3M and a 1st and 3rd if we lose him.
I’d take a 1st and 3rd right now, even without the injury. So that’s a win-win.
Mount Cody in round 1
we have a stable of TE's
and the two picks would vastly improve the team’s other glaring weaknesses. (QB, WR1, etc)
Mount Cody in round 1
franchising KW would be the dumbest move they could make
If KW is franchised he would be making top 5 WR money and there is no way you can convince anyone with a brain that he is worth that much, cap or no cap. OD is worth top 5 TE money when healthy and I believe the Texans will take the same approach they took this year with Dunta, franchise the injured player and give him a year to prove what he is now worth.

To all Houston sports fans, Houston is the 4th biggest city in America, there will be traffic on the way to your respective sports game. Come Early, Be Loud, Stay Late.
OD
here’s the thing: a f-tag on a TE next year will cost a team about $4.25M, which is a $1.5M raise for Daniels. That doesn’t sound like a lot until you consider that the average salary for an NFL TE is $863,000 and DeMeco is going to get something north of $6.5M/season on his new deal,
For the sake of comparison, Dreessen’s base salary this year was $600,000 and his total with bonuses was only $1.5M. Dreessen had 21 catches for 253 in eight games after OD went down (2.6 catches, 32 yds/game). More importantly, he had 16 for 207 in the last four games (4 catch, 52 yds/game), which is about the time that everyone started commenting on how he and Schaub seemed to be clicking. Owen’s numbers in his full games average out to 5.6 catches and 71 yds. The biggest discrepancy is that Owen put up 5 TDs to Dreessen’s 1, but considering the team averaged 23.9 pts/game during Owen’s full games and 24.56 in the last night games, I don’t think the TD difference can be dispositive.
Which is all my long-winded way of asking, what pricetag do you put on Daniels’ extra production?
Also worth noting—unless I am mistaken, you can tag a player and then trade him, but it’s a bit of an ordeal in that the second contract pretty much has to (in practice if not by rule) be figured out between the player and the new team before it works. However, if it’s an uncapped year and OD is a RFA instead of an UFA, then the best play might be to give OD a high enough tender that another team signing him to an offer sheet nets you the picks you would have been targeting anyway.

But Dreesen
dropped the TD pass.
And we need like 6 TE’s on the roster.
And we lost 4 straight games when OD went down. Luckily they weren’t against important teams. (IND, TEN, IND, JAX)
OD may not be worth 4.25 if we can’t afford it. But if we have the cap space, he is worth it, imo.
Mount Cody in round 1
"But if we have the cap space, he is worth it, imo."
I agree with that in theory, but see above for what might be a better plan.

Thank You TF
I feel same way, we need to be looking for a capable backup just like we did last year. Orlovsky must not be very good if sex cannon can beat him out for a job. And it is a proven fact that rexy is worthless as a starting QB in the NFL.

I think Kubes kept 3 this season because teh Schaub never finished a season.
Next year he’ll keep 2. And Dan O has a year under his belt and a bigger contract.

1st) If a NT is still available take him, otherwise best DB or TE
2nd) Iuputa if still available otherwise DB or Gerhart or TE
3) OG if no Iuputa or DB or TE
4)TE
5)TE or K
6)TE
I don’t think there are any NTs that won’t be left by the time we pick in the 2nd round worth looking at till past the 3rd round from the draft rankings I have seen so far. There is seemingly a lot of talent.
I also don’t see any guards worth taking in the 2nd other then Iuputa, but there seems to be DB talent aplenty this draft.

I dont think Luputa will still be there in the second round. I hope he is but I dont think by the 52nd or so pick he will be.
Miss-placed Houstonian living and going to school in the wilderness of Wyoming. GO WYO!!! Beat Fresno in the New Mexico Bowl!!!
yes i did it
I actually suggested after calling numerous people morons for saying the same thing that we should take a RB before OG. Keep in mind though thats only if we haven’t found a NT or DB(or two) and that none worth taking are still available and Iuputa or some other OG worth picking that hard is available.
I’m also hoping we just go out and sign Corey Hampton and Reggie Nelson(if he becomes available, for depth) so we can focus on corner and line. and TE.
I love all the JJ love
in this thread.
I think we have a playmaker that needs to see the field more in 2010.
With OD back, who needs a guard? We kept Schaub upright all year, and we proved we don’t need a running game. Just a kicker and a NT and we’re all set.
Mount Cody in round 1
JJ
Trade bait for more draft picks?
Then resign KW and Meco.
F-tag OD.
Glen Martinez takes over JJ’s role.
If we pick Spiller in the first round
I may like the plan of trading JJ. Which means I don’t like the plan, since there’s no way we would (or should) take a RB in round 1.
But JJ became a force this year. That catch v. the Pats looked like a real good NFL receiver making a play when we needed him to.
I know you hate him for the pick 6, but the season as a whole was almost up to the level of a good WR2. And he didn’t start.
Oh, and he caught every punt … except the one that the tits cheated on by snatching it from him before he completed the catch.
Mount Cody in round 1
I don't hate him for the pick six.
It wasn’t all his fault.
If it was possible to get a third rounder for him, i’d pull the trigger.
I dont think his departure would affect our offense. Our WR corps will be solid
w or w/o JJ.
Here's an idea...try THIS on for size....
WR TE TE TE C TE TE TE WR WR
QB
RB
It’s so crazy it just might work!
Or also it could fail utterly….just saying.

Dan Orlovsky will throw 3 TD’s against the Jets in a losing effort in week 19 as we rest our starters for the playoffs. He will keep his feet in the field of play on every snap.
Dunta drops two errant Matt Schaub passes continuing a scoring drive that sends the game to overtime. A wrongly-called Pass Interference on rookie Kyle Wilson leads to the winning G-men drive in OT. David Carr watches it all… from home.
The texans win their first playoff game against the Dolphins, but lose a nail biter at San Diego on a botched fake punt attempt by Alex Henery.
Mount Cody in round 1
Prediction? Pain.
Name Game:
Kevin Walter or Jacoby Jones? Jacoby Jones
Steve Slaton or Arian Foster? Arian Foster
Dunta Robinson or Glover Quin? Quin
Numbers Game:
Texans Wins: 11
Schaub TD Passes: 38
Defense Rank: 5
Draft Game:
1st Round: A run blocking O-lineman
2nd Round: Safety or Corner with good hands.
3rd Round: Jesus Christ.. Or another lineman.
Fill in the blank:
____________ will be even better in 2010. Cushing
There is no way ____________ will be with the Texans in 2010. Kris Brown
____________ will be the most improved Texan in 2010. Arian Foster
It’s all about the money:
DeMeco Ryans: Resigned
Owen Daniels: Biggest deal the franchise can afford
Dunta Robinson: Resigned. Until we can find a good replacement.
Other predictions.
The Texans will finish (close) 2nd in the division, going 3-3 in division play. (One win on the Colts, and a sweep of either Tits/Jags)
Offense will be ranked #1, with #2 in the pass, and #20 in the run (Inconceivable!)
The last game of the season will be won by Houston, by a last second FG, and not by Kris Brown.
The Texans will at least make it to the AFC championship. Bold prediction, but it could always happen.
