Texans Sign Quintin Demps, Waive Trindon Holliday

Familiarity

I guess familiarity counts for a lot around Kirby. Suprised there aren’t any ties to Denver or Colorado State.

I am hoping this means

Andre Johnson will be back, and Demps is the return man.

Yes, this exactly, especially with the new kickoff rules

That position, with the exception of Devin Hester or anyone that can imitate him, is obsolete. On a Kubiak team, definitely a position of luxury. On a Kubiak team experiencing injuries, that guy is cut, gonzo, finis.

I'm not saying he's the second coming of Jermaine Lewis, but

when did it not work? He has one chance Sunday and, while he ran backward, tried to make something happen and didn’t do anything Jacoby hasn’t done 50 times.

Listening to the presser yesterday...

Kubes sounded really uncomfortable with having a returns-only specialist on the roster at all, especially with the new kickoff rule. My guess is it wasn’t about his performance.

I applaud this, if true

We need more chances at backup Safety after the Keo experiment.

He's never shown anything remotely competent

He hasn’t had a ton of playing time, but he’s a specialist….he has to make an impact to take up a roster spot.

With the new kickoff rule, it doesn’t make sense to have a return specialist as it is. He’s not a McCluster, Arenas, Cobb, or Sproles…he’s a track runner.

He's shown ability at the college level

http://youtu.be/0YgGylLHmq4

http://youtu.be/psWYfO7rp9A

Not saying that college ability definitely translates to NFL ability (obviously), but I do think it’s incorrect to say that he hasn’t shown the ability to be a good returner.

I strictly meant in the NFL sense

Is it Joe Marciano’s fault? Likely since our special teams woes are tied to his failures as a coordinator, but Holliday, at least in what I have seen, doesn’t have the lateral quickness that those other tiny wonders have.

Yes, exactly, he is fast in a straight line, but he has never shown football moves that can make guys miss

See videos above.

There are also a number of clips of him as a running back at LSU. He’s not Barry Sanders, but he’s got some moves.

Maybe not.

My only point - and this ties in with your reference to Joe M. - is that he hasn’t had a real opportunity to show what (if anything) he can do at the NFL level, and his return skills that he showed in college make me think that giving up on him too early is a mistake.

That said, unless he was handling punts AND kickoffs, you are probably right that it makes no sense to have a specialist like that these days.

As we move into the Holiday season, the Texans leave Holliday behind

so who’s left on our practice squad after all these moves?!!

I'm under no illusions as to his abilties as a safety.

But if this keeps Keo off the field outside of special teams, I’m for it.

Demps

Very average return man with below-average cover skills. Clearly adds depth and a need but not very skilled at either. Shiloh probably joins Holliday this week as another failed experiment.

Good move. I feel like if any of these players are injured when we reach the playoffs, all will be for naught...

Everyone’s favorite Quarterback, Arian Foster, James Casey (yeah, seriously) or Andre Johnson. We have a scary offensive threat between Foster, Tate, Casey, Daniels, and A. Johnson… Two 1000+ yard backs, 2 mismatch nightmare creating reciever threats, and the best player ever in our teams existence. The Tits game was the first time all this clicked into a champion-like performance, and we were still missing two pieces to that puzzle… I think it could be magical if we could just find that elusive consistency and stop suffering horrible plaguing injuries to these key players. Losing D. Manning reeeally sucked, though. P.S. What’s with all the pectoral injuries? Seeing them a lot in the NFL this year, never really noticed players fall with such frequency to that kind of injury. Hell, I don’t ever really remember seeing them before at all to be honest.

To elaborate further

It’s time for Kubiak to sit back and start being a head coach and concentrate on the things that he isn’t good at that the other coaches aren’t supposed to do, and that is watching the game from a management standpoint. Let the OC and DC do their thing. Kubiak, you just manage the game, now.
