Texans Trade For Derrick Mason, Sign Trindon Holliday And Jesse Nading, Waive David Anderson And Chris Ogbonnaya

PrintI believe the word is "frenzy." Some quick thoughts after the jump.
-This is undoubtedly an indictment of Jacoby Jones. Not only do the Texans sign another WR, but they sign another return man so Jakespeare can "focus on [his] primary position." I guess I was mistaken, because I thought returning punts was Jacoby's primary position. The overwhelming weight of his career evidence sure does indicate that it isn't wide receiver.
-Why would Trindon Holliday return kickoffs? Danieal Manning has been an excellent return man. That makes no sense to me.
-I'm fine with the price of a conditional draft pick for Derrick Mason. I just don't think Mason has much left in the tank. Still, he's likely to have better hands than Jakespeare and therefore will catch more than one of every eleven balls thrown his way. That qualifies as an upgrade.
-While I'm a bit surprised the Texans parted ways with David Anderson (again), I really shouldn't be.
-I trust that the decision to jettison Chris Ogbonnaya means Ben Tate and/or Derrick Ward will be ready to go on Sunday in Baltimore. That's a rare bit of good news.
-John McClain reports that Andre Johnson will not play on Sunday. Disappointing, but almost surely for the best.
-Jesse Nading is the new Brooks Reed. Which means Brooks Reed simply has to do a reasonable approximation of Mario Williams. No sweat, right?

"Fanaticism consists in redoubling your efforts when you have forgotten your aim." - George Santayana
I have to rdc the creative and truthful aspect of this
Texans 2011 Defense is evolving into an epic force to be reckoned with. I dub thee "Bayou Blitz" !!
I'm optimistic
that they will kidnap Darren Sproles and put him in a Holliday jersey.
I wish we could hire coaches without "having grown up in Houston" being a job requirement.
I am optimistic
because the blocking this year seems a lot better than last year. Than again, I want the little man to succeed.
So... I'm a bit confused...
I’ve read that MightyMite is going to:
- return kickoffs (not a bad idea; potential for a breakaway run)
- return punts ( a BAAAAD idea; potential for being turned into a grease spot or just staining himself, throwing the ball up in the air and running squealing into the locker room.)
Does anyone really know which is the real option?
"Fanaticism consists in redoubling your efforts when you have forgotten your aim." - George Santayana
Supposedly both
Kubiak seemed to think after practice that Manning and Jacoby are seeing so many snaps at their main positions that they needed to bring in someone to relieve them a bit.
I don't buy that about Manning
He’s not really returning that many kicks, and it doesn’t appear to be effecting his play on the field. Still, Holliday also has potential explosiveness as a returner so it doesn’t hurt if they give him a shot. If he blows they’ll just put Manning back there again.
I'm a man!! I'm forty!!
His average has dropped slowly since the first couple weeks.
He could return a lot of kickoffs in Chicago because they didn’t play him as much as the Texans are. He’s to important to this defense to have returning kicks especially since Mario went down.
Since our return game has already fizzled out it’s time to move him out of that role good move by Kubiak.
Prediction: 11-5 AFC South champions.
You ordered a cheese pizza, you're getting a cheese pizza
I didn't do anything wrong!.... and, I won't do it again.
Personally
I think this whole thing is meant as a final attempt to light a fire under Jacoby’s add. Not only is there an obvious threat to have Holliday take away his punt return duties, but both he and Mason are WR’s, although one could argue Holliday is only one on paper at the moment. Still, that’s two players to potentially take away playing time from Jones.
The writing is clearly on the wall. Perform or be gone. And we all know Kubiak ain’t afraid to pull the trigger.
I'm a man!! I'm forty!!
How is one more dangerous or destined for disaster than the other?
Assuming he’s returned punts before and knows the two key options:
1. You can fair catch if you’re going to get hit.
2. You don’t have to catch the ball at all if you’re inside your own 10 yard line.
Bacon tastes good... Pork chops taste good.
You can tell Manning is wearing down returning kicks.
It’s time to stop having him return kickoffs and let him be a Safety first and foremost.
Prediction: 11-5 AFC South champions.
I noticed this too.
It is exacerbated when the offense keeps doing 3 & Outs and the defense doesn’t get a rest. Can you imagine a high scoring game (both sides) where he is on the field a lot as Safety and returning more than three or four kickoffs?

Seems like a bit of a panic
Could be because of injuries, could be because of the loss to the Raiders. I just hope the FO doesn’t go into full-out tail-spin mode and take the season down with it.
Yup…already being pessimistic about the season.
The wheels shouldn't be wobbling, should they?
We get Andre back in a couple weeks.
moving around our depth
while improving 1/2 of our WR2. I don’t see panic.
I see they realize they are coaching/FO’ing for their jobs, which of course they are.
But I prefer shaking things up to standing pat with mediocrity. I really like the Mason move, even if he doesn’t get 5 catches after AJ comes back, I bet he helps the next two weeks, half of which is one of the most important weeks of the season.
my Z key can't take another free agent flurry
He's better than Anderson and Jacoby, so...
just by that alone, I see him adding value in the post-Andre-return games.
Bacon tastes good... Pork chops taste good.
Frankly, THIS is the kind of movement I've expected to see in several previous seasons...
I am SIGNIFICANTLY encouraged that they aren’t sitting on their hands “going with what they’ve got” when “what they’ve got” is a sullen ADHD-afflicted speedy moron with the hands of … well a BASSET HOUND!!! SERIOUSLY! I’VE GOT NO THUMBS and I could catch better than that moron.
"Fanaticism consists in redoubling your efforts when you have forgotten your aim." - George Santayana
In hindsight
How did we not make a play for another outside receiver during free agent frenzy?
1. Dickerson was obviously cut because he’s a knucklehead. We knew this info last year, right?
2. Jacoby has been unreliable his entire career. Was giving him more disposable income supposed to shore up his immaturity?
It’s Smithiak’s responsibility to know this stuff. I’m disappointed again.
Also, why didn’t they make a play for Donnie Avery? Seems to fit our needs better than Mason.
Holliday is hot garbage.
I believe
Donnie Avery is already on a roster.
I wish we could hire coaches without "having grown up in Houston" being a job requirement.
He is today. They signed him when Kenny Britt was injured, last week.
Hence the term, hindsight…
These are sound, logical moves
especially if the premise is: “Jacoby sucks, let’s try and make up for his lack of production.”
While I am confused about the Holliday signing as well, I see the purpose for it. Our special teams could use a nice jolt, and if Holliday can provide it, I’m down. Mason was a solid pickup and Nading provides legit depth. Not a bad day at the office for Rick Smith.
If the return game needs a jolt...why give it to a guy who failed to impress during preseason against scrubs?
"Lord, beer me strength."
ya, I agree.
I’m just thinking he might be better than we think. Or he’s been improving? Iono, it looks like one of those: “let’s see if this works” kinda thing.
His KR average in the preseason was a yard below what Manning's is now.
Prediction: 11-5 AFC South champions.
Wow... what more can you say?
The trade that happened earlier this morning was a great move, and we were all shocked at the fact the FO decided to move considering how rare it is. Now, it seems, they’re starting to get a little frantic with moves.
We have a good team… we just need to not allow boneheaded plays. Plain and simple. I hope this is the last bit of news we hear on the trade front.
BTW...
why are we still stuck with Shaun Cody?
3.2 ypc for McFadden?
Still well down our list of problems.

Cody's not bad at all.
He’s a solid rotational dlineman. We have far bigger problems, imho.
Not that I disagree, as Cody played much better against Al Davis
But I have a bad feeling that our NT issues are going to be extremely compounded by the fact that we are now missing Mario in the run-D.
If the Treasury Secretary doesn't have to pay taxes, then why do I?
Maybe
But the run D shut down the Raiders running game – half of their run yardage was the fake punt

Goldilocks is better at run stopping than Mario...
He doesn’t get as much penetration as quickly and therefore he’s closer to the ball carrier…Mario sucks at run stopping because he’s on the QB so quickly or at least trying to go wide around the lineman.
sucks at run stopping
I hardly think so. Mario is pretty good at stopping the run when the play comes his way.
I'm a man!! I'm forty!!
Not true.
I’d explain why, but I’m guessing that Reed will demonstrate that with multiple instances of blown containment against Ray Rice this weekend.
I also hope he doesn't
but the few times I’ve noticed Reed so far this year have been instances when he lost contain on a play.
by Tailgate Andy on Oct 14, 2011 1:48 PM CDT up reply actions
Looks good to me
Nading is a move out of necessity due to Mario, Mason (or anyone for that matter) is an upgrade over JJ, and Holiday on kick-offs is not that big of a concern since they are not taken out as much anymore. Now on punt returns, I guess we shall see…But overall the news of Ward and Tate being ready is great, and once AJ returns next week ( I hope) I think we will be in good shape.

Not to mention
if Holliday fails to impress (again) you still have the original two return guys available.

I just shuddered all of a sudden

Long time lurker here
I remember some of y’all commenting during training camp that you hoped they would look at holliday as a running back do you think it’s possible that they may have brought him back with that in mind as well in addition to returning?
That would seem to make at least a little more sense to me with the injuries we’ve had at running back so far

I hope we see
at least two screen passes to Foster per drive from here on out.

And a pulling left guard named Wade Smith who hits his assigned block so the screen isn't snuffed
I’d like to see that!
Texans 2011 Defense is evolving into an epic force to be reckoned with. I dub thee "Bayou Blitz" !!
He screwed over two 3rd down screens and nine other 3rd down conversions
On the screens, he wiffed and missed his man resulting in blown up screens, and the others all made their blocks.

Oh, I saw him sucking.
I don’t do any analysis of the game tape, but I seem to recall poor blocking on screens by more than one lineman (on the same play). ALL of those plays would’ve realized 10 to 15 yards more, if the blocking were sound.
which is why I specified
TO FOSTER. Cuz blocking doesn’t seem to be an issue when he gets the ball in space.
my Z key can't take another free agent flurry
ya,
while I love Wade Smith, I do believe that this was one of his worse games. Let’s hope he fixes it and moves on. Oh, and if Brisiel is out does that mean Caldwell gets a start? If I remember correctly, he was starting last season? Either way, I think we won’t miss a beat with Caldwell.
That’s kind of what I was thinking. I’d hate to see him run between the tackles but as a pass catching back he may be worth something
by maroonedTexan on Oct 12, 2011 3:35 PM CDT via mobile up reply actions
It would be smart if they used him like that.
He wasn’t a reciever in college, he was more of a running back. He caught most of his passes non bubble screens and screens and flares outta the backfield. I din’t think he’d ever be as good as Darrin Sproles, but I think those type of playes that Sproles are used on are the type of plays that Kubiak should call for Holliday. It’s much easier to be a short RB these days, rather than a short WR.

Dexter McCluster has looked bad as a RB for KC

I think

Now lets just call plays and execute with the mindset that we are out to destroy everyone. Its time to step on their throats.

I think he'll get some time but it'll be a slow process
And if he shows flashes then his reps will increase

I would much rather see Bawin get his first team snaps as the WLB
Right now, he’s a better pass rusher than Reed, and I think he has 10 sack potential if he’s let loose for 90% of the snaps.

I don't like letting OBGYN go
That leaves you with a cadre of running backs who have each had injury issues this year. Say Tate IS back this week- but re-injures the ankle in the first quarter. Who spells Arian? Do we then go away from the run? We saw how well that worked last week.
While OBGYN was not 1, 2, or 3 (yet) he was the only RB who has been healthy the entire year. And this year, that’s important.
I don’t understand signing Holiday from the PS and waiving Anderson. DA looked okay last week, and he’s got to be better at WR than Holiday. And I agree with Tim about Jakespeare’s primary position (although his primary position at this point to should be “pine polisher”).
maybe JJ is gone next week
if Holliday has any success on PRs.

did u guys read the Gil Brandt article
on NFL.com? He says that he thinks that the Texans should trade a 7th round pick for Jason Taylor. I concur, maybe not with Taylor, but trading a future pick to get an OLB. I think it needs to be done.
I'd do it
We’re in “win now” mode and Taylor’s resume speaks for itself. He’s already proven he can be an effective situational pass rusher in a 3-4.

good point
ya, no doubt, I’d definitely do it too. Do you think Tamba Hali is worth looking at from KC? It looks like that team is going nowhere fast, maybe a mid round pick and JJ would do it?
Tamba ain't going that cheaply.
He might have been the best pass rusher in football last year and he’s on a fresh five-year extension. Easily worth a first.

probably even more than a first
he’s still pretty young.
I wish we could hire coaches without "having grown up in Houston" being a job requirement.
ahhh
too steep a price you think? If it’d cost a first, maybe that would be pretty steep.
To be honest, I'd probably do it for a first.
He’s a proven badass at WOLB in a 3-4, and he’s under contract for five more years. It’s a pretty big contract, but probably less than what Mario will get, and there are less durability concerns.
ohhh
so you’re saying forfeit a 1st for Tamba, let go of Mario and live with a compensation pick? Ballsy, and I like it.
What's the opposite of "like?"
Because that’s what I think of it.
Bacon tastes good... Pork chops taste good.
"dislike?"
lol. But, I see where Nash is going with that one. Mario’s been consistently hurt, Hali is in his prime and would be an ideal rush olb in our 3-4. If it cost us a 1st rounder (which is a steep price) and maybe a player like Jacoby or something, it’d be worth entertaining. But, I can see why many would prefer Mario. He was looking like a “defensive player of the year” candidate before the injury.

Good stuff

I hope we could pull something like that off. I heard Aaron Curry is on the trade market. U think it’d make sense to package Jacoby and a 3rd rounder for Curry?
Why not give Holliday a real shot/
At the end of training camp he seemed to be finding a groove on returns. His speed is unreal (go watch LSU Holliday highlights on youtube). He’s got better homerun ability than JJ and maybe even Manning every time he touches the ball. We drafted him…why not see if it finally works?
We could have Wlford Brimley or Usain Bolt returning kicks and get the same results with the lack of blocking
and craptastic special teams play under Marciano.

Whats the deal with
Juaquin Iglesias? Un-tapped talent maybe? Wasnt he really good in college ball?
he was great at OU
he has size, 6-1, 210…. and speed, 4.45. I think he can excel in this system, but he has knocks as far as work ethic and intelligence is concerned. If he puts in the time and effort, could be a solid #2 for us. dont bank on it

to be fair
we’ve sucked for 5 years. So, I’m not really “bipolar,” I just go through a cycle: “Hope/optimism as the season starts, followed by frustration at losing games we should win, followed by apathy b/c we’re out of a playoff race, followed by anger that we suck this bad, and then the optimism starts all over again during draft season.” I’m pretty inconsistently consistent.
Bit off topic
But it has to do with Andre, so its more important than all this. But did anyone see the physical therapist/doctor chick on nfl live today talking about the injury?? It was some of the best news we coulda hoped for, apparently he had a tear at the base of the hammy and essentially all they do is cut off the frayed tendon and he’s back to full strength once his wound heals. She mentioned even tho he’s losing a tendon, that that part isn’t very critical at all moving forward

The Texans FO killed two birds with one stone… by adding Holiday and Mason they are putting pressure on Jones on both return and reciever work….I am hoping that Mason can be that pressure reliever for Dre and Holiday does get to do some back work also….I feel that the Jets made a boo boo, Mason although old has some great catches in him left and if they use Trinton out of the backfiled on screens and such…. watch out…I could even see him taking an occasional pitch. However we also better take a look at Schaub….. could be a rotator cuff and we may not make it with Matty “Hottub” Lienart…

iono
he’s young. I can’t say he’s better than Schaub, that’s not fair to Schaub’s body of work. I will say that Tebow is a very young and exciting player to watch, and he’s easy to root for. Very humble, down to earth, and he has this passion about him that is very fun and refreshing. I think it’s obvious right now, Schaub is a better overall QB than Tebow.
But in the ‘leadership/athlete’ department, Tebow sure has an edge.
I disagree
He hasn’t been a leader of anything in the NFL yet. And it may be eazsy to root for him for some people, but I personally don’t like when a player is shoved down my throat by the media so I tend to root against them.
Take the case of Vince Young and Reggie Bush for instance. Personally I didn’t have anything against either player in college, but once they were over hyped in the media and I was forced to hear constantly how great they were I quickly formed a negative opinion of both.
That’s just me though. I believe a player has to earn their hype, and so far Tebow hasn’t proven anything in the pros.
I'm a man!! I'm forty!!
no doubt bro.
I actually def agree with you here. That’s how I felt about Lebron. Tebow and Cam are a bit different, b/c they were national championship Heisman winning guys in college. Bush was too, but he had to prove any nfl capability, (I guess, you’re saying Tebow does too.)
I’m strictly talking about game. I just find Tebow and Cam super duper exciting. I think they are really fun to watch. I’m only speaking on that stand point. They are easy to root for, b/c they seem like nice guys who are electric on the field.
Not necessarily, but he does know how to get guys to follow him & his example

I didnt read the other comments above, but..
I think Trinton Holliday could be on for Punt Returns. Lets Face it. Aside from that 1 TD against the colts, Jacoby Jones hasn’t done anything. After catching the ball, he stands still for at least a few seconds before running what seems like 50 yards for no gain. I can’t stand him on the field. He doesn’t seem like he has great body control either. He’s not the type of player who can make the type of catch that Kevin Walter made laid out. I like this trade and hope we are just phasing out Jacoby Jones by replacing him both in PR and WR.

So, are we planning to let him hang out on two or three days a week in Tennessee?
Apparently the Jets did this. They also claim he didn’t learn the playbook. So we’ll see. But positive! He’s got a lot left in the tank.
I do think he’s capable of hanging onto passes that hit him in the hands. I think he’ll be able to find space in the end zone. At least I hope so.
Anyway, it’s a 7th rd pick, and not all that much salary. I wonder what the condition is? I imagine its PT or productivity. If we encourage to fly to Tennessee on Monday and not come back I imagine we’re not sending a pick.

It could be like one of those conditional picks in basketball
When a team’s dumping a player along with cash to cover his salary they usually get the ubiquitous “protected second rounder” that is only delivered if it falls between 59-60 or something ridiculous like that. I don’t know as much about football trades (well, mostly because there are fewer of them), so I don’t know if an arrangement like that is plausible.
by Patrick Harrel on Oct 13, 2011 12:32 AM CDT up reply actions
Pretty sure
We set an agreement that if he plays X snaps or gains Y yards, then they get the 7th rounder. If he does jack shit, we take on his salary but jets get no pick. Then there’s conditionals like Favre to the Jets where if he played increasing amount of snaps, the round of the pick the Pack got would increase. But the Mason trade is case 1 as far as i know.
