Texans' Final 53 (?) Man Roster

Mark Berman reporting the last of the cuts:
FB Jack Corcoran
WR Bobby Williams
WR Derrick Townsel
TE Derek Fine
OL Adam Stenavich
OL Steve Maneri
OL Cole Pemberton
C Brett Helms
C Chris White
DL Malcolm Sheppard
DL Mitch Unrein
DL DelJuan Robinson
LB Will Patterson
LB Isaiah Greenhouse
DB Mark Parson
DB Torri Williams
DB Jacques Reeves
QB John David Booty
RBs Chris Henry and Jeremiah Johnson
As I'm not sure who's been IRed, I don't know for sure where the running tally stands. However, if you add in Andre Davis to the IR and Kris Brown, this should be the 53 man roster.
To me, the biggest surprise is DelJuan, but I'm also somewhat surprised we're carrying only five CBs and McManis is one of them. And Nicholas Polk?
I believe this is the Opening Day 53-man roster:
QB - Matt Schaub and Dan Orlovsky (2, 2)
RB - Arian Foster, Steve Slaton, the newly signed Derrick Ward (3, 5)
FB: Vonta Leach (1, 6)
WR: Andre Johnson, Kevin Walter, Jacoby Jones, David Anderson, Dorin Dickerson (5, 11)
T: Duane Brown, Eric Winston, Rashad Butler (3, 14)
G/C: Mike Brisiel, Antoine Caldwell, Kasey Studdard, Shelley Smith, Wade Smith, Chris Myers (6, 20)
TE: Owen Daniels, Joel Dreessen, James Casey, Garrett Graham (4, 24)
DE: Connor Barwin, Tim Jamison, Jesse Nading, Antonio Smith, Mario Williams (5, 29)
DT: Shaun Cody, Earl Mitchell, Frank Okam, Amobi Okoye (4, 33)
LB: Kevin Bentley, Danny Clark, Brian Cushing*, Zac Diles, DeMeco Ryans, Darryl Sharpton, Xavier Adibi (6, 39)
S: Dominique Barber, Troy Nolan, Eugene Wilson, Bernard Pollard, Nicholas Polk (5, 44)
CB: Brice McCain, Sherrick McManis, Antwaun Molden, Glover Quin, Kareem Jackson (5, 49)
ST: Matt Turk, Neil Rackers, Jonathon Weeks (3, 52)
That's 52. Anthony Hill is not listed on Injured Reserve at the team site, so he is, for now, #53. That would also mean we have five TEs on the roster. Ugh.
Update: Per DHC, Polk cut. So are we at 52? Or do I need remedial math? Also, Hill is likely on the PUP, which I can't find. That would mean 51.

why
would we keep 5 safeties, that makes little sense. Also has the waiving of Johnson been confirmed?

Johnson = yes
I think we’ll sign another RB and possibly a T or CB. If we do, then he’s probably the one to go.

Not sure why nobody is bringing up Ryan Moats. Vkies cut him on 8/24. We need a guy who can get up to speed quickly.

Agreed
We could easily bring him back in as a backup. I am sure he’d prefer it than being unemployed.

Moats
didn’t fumble any more than the rest of the backs we have. Besides we are asking for a 3rd RB here not a starter.

My Guess on Moats
is he either doesn’t want to play here or we feel we can do better as he has been on the market for a while

probably will get called back up once his toe heals

He didn't really play that great
He had a few big runs, but he had a difficult time running behind his blockers at the line. He did an awful lot of dancing and for zone blocking running game, that’s a big no no.

Seems weird. Has been … I dunno, awesome on special teams or something?
Polk was cut. Berman just left him out.

Not to put a damper on things
But our DT rotation scares the piss out of me. I honestly think they need to go scoop up zgonina.
I know Antonio plays there on third down, but unless okoye and okam really step up, and mitchel looks like a first rounder instead of a third rounder…. We are in trouble I think. Cody is what he is. Not great and not horrible.

Jeremiah Johnson's Toe
Got him cut. He should make practice squad, then be activated, but he probably would not have been cut without injury.
Seems like a good roster trick to me
Release, hoping nobody will nab because he’s injured. Stash him on PS until he can play. No IR, and PUP isn’t available. A delightfully evil plan.
A Texans fan. Really. No, I'm not kidding.
http://www.battleredblog.com
If it works.
But this early in the season, I don’t see why anyone would claim someone who can’t play right now for their initial 53 man roster.
Lanca Z thinks he stays there all year unless Slaton doesn’t stay healthy. Which I think is likely.
My Problem with that
Is that I am afraid he wont clear waivers…
Artificial Intelligence is no match for Natural Stupidity
An injured player
Who has had a history (shoulder dislocation, etc) who would have to be put on the 53 to be claimed off waivers (As in not for their P-squad)? I don’t know. Seems like a gamble I’d be willing to take if I was Smithiak. Lots of uninjured guys are going to be cut as well.

rec'd because I never got all the Reeves-bashing...
I wish he’d have turned and looked at the ball more, but it was like it became chic to trash him and peer-pressure prevailed. However, I’m not that freaked out about a young secondary. If Smithiak thinks that their talent was so superior as to outweigh “greenness” I’m good with that.

“looked at the ball more”
That is the whole point of trashing Reeves. The guy was great at covering his man, but he never turned his head and looked for the the ball.

Never. Ever. Never.

He gave up a TD the other night, same thing
The pass nearly hit him in the back of the head. I think the receiver might have reached around his head and snatched the ball. I thought at the moment it all happened, Frenchy knew, “that’s it, I’m gone….”
I suppose if all of the stars, moons and planets align it could be possible, but what are the chances of that?
He was still never as bad
as people made him out to be. Hell even last year people where giving him props for looking around more, but he constantly looked trash because our genius coordinator kept putting him in zone.
Have you ever tried just turning off the TV, sitting down with your children, and hitting them?
Sure, he was never that bad
But, his overwhelming flaw just seemed to become magnified and more noticeable on every play. It’s like the play occurs, you look for the players number and “Ohhhh! it’s Reeves! He didn’t turn his head!”
I suppose if all of the stars, moons and planets align it could be possible, but what are the chances of that?
Yeah
it was the worst against big guys like Berrian, he would be all over the guy and then the qb would just lob it over his head and tada! completion.

Theory
I think I heard this question asked of Kubiak on the radio tonight and it kind of caught him off guard, as if it might be an actual possibility. Because the Texans have so many quality TEs, is it possible they will trade one of them?

i think they are looking to trade casey.
that last game was just showing the league they have a guy that could start and help the offense of probably around 5-10 in the nfl right now. Probably want a 2nd or third rounder for him, or a quality rb from a team that has some talent at that position. I hope they dont, but they are loaded at the position and i think they like the rookie as 3rd string.If they could get a solid #2 rb or improved cb depth he may be gone. He is smart, young/cheap,vary versatile and has a great attitude. I hope we keep him but have a bad feeling he is our only real trade prospect we could go without, that another team would highly value.
God I hope not. Why would they?

To look further at my point
You made some good points about James Casey’s trade value. And you do make a good point. It seems odd to have such a glut of talent at a ‘minor’ position like Tight End. Daniels, Dreessen and Casey are all capable of being starters on an NFL team and it looks like Graham is heading the same way already.
I just think that Smithiak are the evil overloads of Tight Ends, we must hoard them in case the world runs out.

You could make a case for any of the TEs being trade-bait
If OD is ready to go, why not.
I suppose if all of the stars, moons and planets align it could be possible, but what are the chances of that?
If I were to trade any TE
I would trade OD, especially if my backups that don’t have 2 injuries to the same knee & produce enough to offset his production and they didn’t have ludicrous salary demands. I would get a bigger return in other positions of need and provide quality depth.. at a cheaper price I know he is a fan favorite but if I were a GM those are things I can’t overlook.
Artificial Intelligence is no match for Natural Stupidity
But you probably wouldn't get too much for a twice-injured TE
Even if his upside is as good as OD’s. Let’s face it, though. Short of Clark, there aren’t that many TEs that are going to get much value in the trade market.

That would leave them with only 6 tight ends.

Also, there is no way on God’s green earth that they will get a second rounder for Casey. But if some team were dumb enough to offer us a second rounder for THOR, I will personally fly to Houston and pimp slap Rick Smith if he turns it down.

Yep, every team is in the same position when you are stripping down to 53
Guys on the bubble are getting cut and the teams really want to keep that guy they are cutting. The teams need healthy players who can play right now. When JJ is healthy, that is when they will want him, if they need him. This is an interesting time. I like watching it happen.

but I like many others see jeremiah moved to ps he has shown too much good not to have him as a viable back up… I was under the impression eljian was doin good maybe smithiak hs fith in the other dts that have shown little to nothing minus okoye’s sack on tony homo.

Hmmm..
5 TEs but only 2 QBs?
Ward as no 3 RB is pretty weak at depth, but lucky to get him I guess.
Who is KR/PR with Holiday gone?
He’s always open. He catches a lot of balls. He’s un-guardable, no matter how old he is
You only need one player on the field to throw the rock
But you can have up to five on the field able to receive it. Its pretty good maths to me. Plus, Te’s make good blockers on KR/PR teams, but you wouldn’t do that with your back-up QB.

Yes
Slaton is still questionable for Week 1. McManis is the only one left who returned kicks in camp/preseason, right?

Slaton is questionable for the rest of his career.

Troy Smith over Matt Leinart
Leinart wants to be a starter while I think that Smith could do better than orlovsky since he is more mobile. Considering all the play actions and rollouts that we run, he would be a better fit for this offense. Am i wrong?

didn't think about that until now...
With the play action they would have to flip it with Leinart. That would be chaos!
