Hopefully this man will be a Texan next year!

Bob Sanders, aka Demond the beast, was released from the Indianapolis Colts. Drafted in the second round by the Indianapois Colts in 2004. Defensive Player of the Year and a key reason that Indianapolis won a super bowl in 2006. Plagued by injuries and one of the best safeties available. Definitely worth the risk for a Texans team which has seen the uninspired play of Bernard Pollard, Troy Nolan, Dominique Barber and Eugene Wilson. Bob McNair, please get Bob Sanders and make Indianapolis regret letting him go to another team in the AFC South.

I don't want a guy THIS injury prone...

As our salivating dreams. Bob Sanders can’t last a full season, and while he’s been a good option for years for the Colts, he’s not our best option available (he’s really not).

No.

Just no.

Sure...

But only after Atogwe + a CB. As bad as Pollard was, if we get a pure coverage safety like Atogwe and a CB capable of not needing help over the top every single play, Pollard can survive on this defense.

has 5 rounds on their mock.

All 5 are defensive players.

Smithiak is on a short leash for letting the defense get this far down talent-wise.

the tenth time is a charm

Yeah but only because

he’s already noted as to be looking to a minimum or near minimum deal, at that price he really could play 4-5 weeks and still be worth it. low risk-high reward, plus he has all the added anger and inspiration in speeches before games against the Colts.

4-5 weeks of the Ceramic Cruise Missile is better than what we had this entire past season

Not just no.

But heck no.

Never use a metaphor, simile, or other figure of speech which you are used to seeing in print.
Never use a long word where a short one will do.
If it is possible to cut a word out, always cut it out.
Never use the passive where you can use the active.
Never use a foreign phrase, a scientific word, or a jargon word if you can think of an everyday English equivalent.
Break any of these rules sooner than say anything outright barbarous.

meh

He has been an impact player, albeit in a pretty brief stint in the NFL so far. When he’s on the field he’s definitely a difference maker, but he’s made of glass. Any guy that small, that plays that physical, is just asking to get hurt again….and again….and again.
