Open Thread for Cuts, Dream Scenarios, and #NoseTackleLust

HOUSTON - SEPTEMBER 02:  Houston Texans Cheerleaders perform and dream about bfd during a football game between the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Houston Texans at Reliant Stadium on September 2 2010 in Houston Texas.  (Photo by Bob Levey/Getty Images)

Lots of interesting cuts today, so I thought I'd kick off an open thread.  Just saw that Myron Rolle was released, and I know I'd like to give him a look.

I'd love for us to sign Rolle and cut Barber.

If Rolle didn’t go to Oxford, he could have been a top 10 pick. Only problem with signing him is that he may not get much playing time behind Pollard. He gives us good depth though. Him and Troy Nolan would be excellent back ups.

I would be surpirsed

Gartrell Johnson is going to be a player for Kubiak someday,

That said, if Torain and Slaton are the same guy, let’s take Torain. He doesn’t fumble, has vision, and doesn’t have a pair of bolts spine.

but he tore his ACL

a few years ago and only had success when Shanahan was killing it in Denver, He didn’t look great with Washington this pre-season and I think he has lost his confidence. If Steve can regain HIS confidence I think he’ll be closer to 2008 SS rather than 2009

About as quick

As they turned on Dunta Robinson… It doesn’t matter how great he was in his rookie season or whether his decline was caused by injury. He was injured and right now he looks more like a #3 or #4 back than anything else. Maybe we can scheme ways to get him in space, but I think it’s wishfull thinking to predict anything greater than a situational role for Slaton this year.. And he’s definitely not up to being Foster’s backup in which he’d have to be an everydown back if he went down, which is why the coaches freaked out and picked through other teams’ garbage to try to find someone who could carry the load if needed here.

by Bryan72076 on Sep 4, 2010 7:22 PM CDT up reply actions  

My issues with Slaton

I can overlook a lot of his deficiencies as long as he’s a homerun threat. But, he hasn’t shone that ability in quite a while. My three pet peeves for a running back are: 1) Fumbling 2) Running into blockers with holes all around 3) Getting knocked backward when tackled 4) Fumbling. Slaton is guilty of ALL of these far too often for my taste. And if he’s not going to break big runs, he’s a huge negative in the backfield. I’d much rather see Jeremiah Johnson.

Hahaha! dunta.....

Have you been following him? His hammy has been sore all through preseason. Hasn’t practiced, hasn’t played in a preseason game. Yet, his fans in Atlanta are still behind him. A big contract and lack of knowledge on the part of the fanbase has given him a free pass. But, as Albert Haynesworth knows, that won’t last forever….

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

Because Slaton has yet to become a self-centered, whiny douche. That’s probably bought him until Week 2.

I love calling people out on twitter!

It’s already hard to find facts through the traditional mediums. So when you’re resorting to something that’s out of the box like Twitter, rumors are the last thing you wanna hear. Sadly it’s circulates and is sometimes started by “reliable” sources trying to be the first one to break the news.

Im looking at you, Pancakes.

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

You always take the ball if you win the toss

Unless you’re in a backwater like New Zealand, Then, if you win the toss, you defer. The other team doesn’t know what that is, so they assume you get the ball. They choose and end. Then you get to get the ball at the start of both halves!

Nice.

Do they do the flip before or after the haka? Do they have a special haka for gridiron? They should.

They always do the haka just before kick off, after the coin toss.

Luckily, we only do it prior to international games. So I’ve only seen it the once, when I was back judge for the NZ v Australia game prior to the junior world cup. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ka_Mate

I think Myron Rolle

could be a nice number 2/project safety… give him a year in an NFL system i say he gets back to his form. plus i enjoy smart people, and would like to run into him and discus thermonuclear as a power source in vehicles.

I agree

I have been waiting for amobi to break out but i have a feeling he is another travis johnson. never mind amobi actually has potential. Either if he doesn’t destroy qb’s this year then he might be on his way out. I’m only asking for 6 sacks.

Yeah fuck you guys.

I’m stuck in Baltimore, biggest shit hole ever. I did watch Texas and Florida suck equally as bad as the sooners.

I didn’t watch the game but they gave up after being up 21-0. Fucking spoiled thugs.

Anyway, did I really see pat white, Willie parker, And dre Bly mentioned? Are you guys smoking crack?

Try not to get stabbed....what? someone already said that?

There’s about two areas about 1/4 mile long that I feel safe in Baltimore. I don’t advise getting out of your moving car in any of the other areas….

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 Sep 5, 2010 7:15 AM CDT up reply actions   1 recs

The only place safe near Baltimore is Aberdeen Proving Grounds

However I doubt you can go there since it’s a military base

Question

I just saw the Texans depth chart on their website and noticed that we are carrying five guards. Why haven’t we replaced Studdard with Smith and make an extra spot that way for another position? Maybe add another tackle and replace the human turnstile?Also can we do something about the DE situation? I don’t feel confident about having Nading and Jamison as back ups.

Apparently the answers to those questions are as follows:

No.
No.
