2011 Texans Draft Profile: Shiloh Keo (Pronounced KAY-oh)
by Patrick D. Starr on May 2, 2011 9:46 AM CDT
Email
PrintWith the 144th overall pick in the 2011 NFL Draft, the Houston Texans selected Shiloh Keo, Safety from Idaho. A favorite of Mike Mayock and Deion Sanders (NFL Network) at the NFL scouting combine, Keo impressed the onlookers with hustle and go-get-them attitude. I remember when he had a quick interview with Deion, he answered every question with a "Yes, Sir".

A good strong tackler, Keo brings that "football player" mentality to the Texans. Coached by Wade Phillips in the East-West shrine game, Keo made a big impression on Phillips and was rewarded with a spot by the Texans.
He was a top performer at the NFL combine at his position, and was in the top 10 of the majority of the tests they did. He had the fastest time in the defensive back class in the 20 yard shuttle with a 3.90.
Gary Kubiak and Wade Phillips are very high on Keo and believe he will definitely contribute to the special teams, but will probably compete at the backup role at strong safety for the Texans. With the way Phillips liked this "diamond in the rough" pick, I wouldn't be surprised if they give Keo an opportunity to start at some point.
Safety was a weak position for the Texans, and tackling was part of the problem. Keo's downhill style fits with what the Texans are trying to correct. There is a possibility that Glover Quin and Shiloh Keo could be roaming around the back of the secondary for the upcoming 2011 season.
I would like the Texans to look at the free agent market to give Keo time to develop. The culture is changing, and this would make Dominique Barber and Troy Nolan on the chopping block if another safety is brought in via free agency.
I like the pick of Keo because he fits with this 2011 draft class; that is, quality football players who seem to be solid players. Keo sounds like he could be a steal.

I heard a rumor that he is Polynesian and so is Troy Polamalu
Steal!!!
/sarcasm
I like how much the staff is talking him up and welcome ANY addition at that position. Will be lloking forward to how he looks on the field when camp starts.
What kind of shampoo does he use, though?....
I didn't do anything wrong!.... and, I won't do it again.
The Texans did good this draft taking guys that have a high football character/mentality quotient
Add Keo to that characterization. He’s a football player.
I didn't do anything wrong!.... and, I won't do it again.
I can appreciate that Wade wants no laziness around
Just looking back at last season, defensive effort was certainly in question. The names may not be sexy, but if this is the kind of hard-hat defense it’s shaping up to be then I’m all for it.
/not saying you were knocking the high motor thing…cause it’s kinda funny that it really is in everyone’s draft profile.
"Lord, beer me strength."
I'm not against it at all
It’s just become one of those Gary Kubiak words that he uses in every press conference and I find funny. Right up there with “heckuva ballpalyer” “Good Kid” and “Battlin’”
But, a comment that I saw used in describing Keo
(not by Gary, but by draft analysts) Keo puts himself in the right position to make plays and isn’t that a phrase we want to see Gary stop using?
I didn't do anything wrong!.... and, I won't do it again.
Yes, he's not speedy at 4.75, he can barely run faster than a 1st round 290 LB DE
But, he has proven to be a good football player who makes up for his half-step slower quickness with good decision-making and strong finishing.
I didn't do anything wrong!.... and, I won't do it again.
The 40 time was slow
but apparently he has incredibly fast feet. I think his shuttle time was the best of the Combine……and Deion fell in love with his footwork.
"Lord, beer me strength."
Yes, he will be a playmaker, but I don't expect him to be chasing down Chris Johnson from behind anytime soon....
I didn't do anything wrong!.... and, I won't do it again.
Positioning
The problem with CJ is that he got our guys in the wrong position (Busing). Last year, players were in the right position, so CJ was contained. If Keo is smart and has quick feet, he’ll be in the right place, and won’t need blazing top speed.
Or, so I think (hope).
Yes, he is a very smart and alert player from what I've read about him
His awareness on the play is excellent and he reacts to it, putting himself in position. Yes! Absolutely. I guess, I’m alluding to the possibility that a ball carrier actually breaks though a hole and gets into a chase situation. Keo won’t be reeling anyone in on those rare plays. Effort, not a problem. Being where he’s supposed to be, not a problem.
I didn't do anything wrong!.... and, I won't do it again.
Agreed
It would be nice to have some blazing speed back there to make up for the Ooooops moments. Brice McCain (4.33 at his pro day) was supposed to be that guy, but he hasn’t be working out very well.
Experience might help
Also, per Pancakes:
Keo ran two 4.6s at his pro day. He’s returned punts every year and finished his career with 14.2 yards. That shows he can move. As they explained it, they want twin safeties who can run, cover, hit, think and have instincts. They think they have one in Quin. They’re looking for the other. Maybe it’s Keo or Nolan or Barber but more likely a veteran.
Neither will DeAndre McDaniel, or whoever the latest mancrush at SS is around here.
I’m willing to bet that the average strong safety in this league is a tenth of a second behind the average runningback. We all know CJ crushed it, MJD was sub-4.40. Top-end speed is an asset you need at FS and CB. At SS, it’s a luxury.
Yeah, well, about that.....
their ain’t many that are going to be chasing CJ down from behind.
Just my $.02
Even duct tape can't fix stupid
true enough
besides, it’s the safeties’ job to keep the play in front of him
even if Keo does somehow manage to catch CJ from behind, something else already went wrong
Terribly, horribly wrong....
as in him kicking out as a WR and NOBODY on the Texans D accounting for him.
Just my $.02
Even duct tape can't fix stupid
Compared to what used to be coaching it, I'd say he's qualified!
I didn't do anything wrong!.... and, I won't do it again.

A lot of people keep saying that he’ll become a fan favorite here. If he works his ass off, I’m sure he will.

Okay, reading up on him now
Looks like he is being called an In-the-box kind of safety, kind of like Bernard Pollard, but he may be better than Pollard in zone coverage. But in the box, he is considered ferocious.

Holy crap
ESPN stats show he had 357 tackles in his college career.

4.76 40
Would’ve been the 2nd slowest 40 for a S had he been at the Combine. To put it in comparison, even Dominique Barber had a 4.68 40, and he’s proven to be too slow in coverage. At best, Keo is a special teamer.
Oh, yeah: 20% body fat for Keo, worst among all Ss.

I thought there was a four week moratorium on rocking the bandwagon after the draft?
Guess not. Okay, first shot has been fired!
I like this draft very much, I will say, for starters. I don’t know how good Keo will turn out. A 4.75 does not evoke great confidence at the NFL level. But, he has skills, he can trim up, and I think he has promise to surprise us. I will remain open on Keo. I will joke around about him, but I’m behind him, as I think bfd really is. He just may have a little less confidence in him at the moment. But, let’s see if Keo can bring him around. I will keep this in the back of my mind and see what happens.
I didn't do anything wrong!.... and, I won't do it again.
Mostly just trying to set expectations
Saying the 144th pick is starting quality out of the gate is beyond a stretch. And, really, it says more about our Ss than it does about Keo.
He’s not a bad pick, no. That 40 time is extremely limiting, though, especially when Wade’s system calls for rangy Ss.
A Texans fan. Really. No, I'm not kidding.

"Blind fandom is all I got left." - LoneSpot
I suspect Wade will use him right. He's really a Strong Safety
and his strengths are playing in the box, almost as another LB. He is strong on all out blitzes. He’s strong at deciphering the play and stopping the run. He can cover TEs and RBs coming out for passes. But, he won’t be a good guy in any WR coverage help, except possibly in some short zone coverage, because he has a good presence in where to be. At least, that is what I get from what I read about him….
I didn't do anything wrong!.... and, I won't do it again.
I'm not saying he's a starter or will be starting or whatever but...
When is a 40-time an indicator of range? Ed Reed ran a near 4.6 flat in his 40 yard dash, but he’s got incredible recognition and change of direction speed. That’s what it’ll come down to, how is his play recognition, how quick is his burst, and can he change direction….
Needs to muscle up more, but that’ll come from a pro workout program…..can’t imagine Idaho has the greatest strength and conditioning coach or workout facilities.
"Lord, beer me strength."
Wasn't Ed Reed a late-rounder, too?
Yes, you never know.
I didn't do anything wrong!.... and, I won't do it again.
24th Overall
4.57 40, though I also saw he had recorded times in the low 4.4s.

40 Yard Dash = Mr Irrelevant
Well, not quite irrelevant, but certainly not that important. For instance, if a smart player diagnoses a play 0.2 seconds faster than a fast player, they get there at the same time.
The extreme case is Jerry Rice, who reportedly ran a 4.7. No, I’m not comparing Keo to Rice, but I am dissing the importance of the 40.
Keo might end up as nothing but ST hitter, but I’m bettng on leadership, motor and brains. I’m just so happy we are a team of smart character guys.
Well about the 40
There are a few football guys that run it faster in pads that w/o most are slower with pads

by Barryfromtexas on May 2, 2011 11:06 AM CDT up reply actions
interesting note about the 40 yd dash:
it was first used by Paul Brown as a way to scout potential ‘gunners’, as 40 (mostly straight) yards is an approxamate measure for the amount of ground they need to cover to reach the play on punts
like many Brown innovations, the 40 caught on
penalties on safeties who lunge at the ballcarrier?
seriously, without the innovations of Paul Brown, the football we see today would be vastly different. He was one of the major catalysts for beginning to make a science out of the game. He probably advanced everything more than anyone else, before or since!
Danny, you really should do a piece on Brown and/or Walsh, and maybe tie that in with our Texans of today? You’re a good writer, and l know you love this stuff, too. I’m sure it would be a great read, as well as discussion…
Hmm, might be worthwhile given that I don't want to write about anything lockout related

Eh.
He cut it down to a 4.66 at his pro-day. And we’re not trying him at FS like we did with barber.
I just don’t get why it’s all about the 40-time with Keo; does beating every other DB in agility drills really mean nothing alongside a tenth of a second in the 40? Even everybody’s mancrushes who ran in the 4.55 range aren’t gonna be chasing down Chris Johnson or any receivers in the NFL, and I’m pretty sure you don’t need to run 40 yards to seal off the edge.
Pollard ran a 4.57, and he still sucked in coverage. Not because he was too slow, but because he took awful angles, had poor route recognition, and just got completely turned around and unable to make a play on the ball once it was in the air. Who knows where or not Keo has coverage skills? But he certainly has the quickness to cover up to about twenty yards off the line of scrimmage. And if we put him in a situation in which he’s streaking down the field with a speedy receiver or tight-end? Well, that’s poor coaching.

"Blind fandom is all I got left." - LoneSpot
Well, I'm his biggest fan, and even I don't want him starting at SS this season.
But he’s got as good a chance of panning out as any 5th-round pick, regardless of 40-time. Maybe even better, given his quickness + work ethic. It just seems rash to look at one number from his combine (which wasn’t even horrible) and declare him incapable of ever playing SS.
But like any SS (and any CB, for that matter), he does need a rangy free safety behind him to allow him to do the things that he does best.
I agree with all the points you made, by the way
I hope he turns out good and if he can play his rookie year, all the better, because he has to pass the Wade-test, which means he could be pretty good and good for a long time.
I didn't do anything wrong!.... and, I won't do it again.
A thin layer of blubber is handy
in Idaho. So what? Like many have pointed out he’ll most likely be used in an “extra LB” role and played in the box. Some heft may be best for that role… that and he will probably lose some of that in training camp. Oh wait…

I didn't do anything wrong!.... and, I won't do it again.
I can honestly tell you i did not like the pick.
I will have to be won over when season starts, but as of right now not a fan. I would think he would be on kickoffs and punts but can he get down the field fast enough to make a tackle? I may be looking to much into and he might turn out to be a great pick.
No, gunner with a purpose, as in not fast enough to over-pursue...
I didn't do anything wrong!.... and, I won't do it again.
ah, true, he was certainly talking about coverage
Keo was a returner in college, and a candidate for us as well, though?
If he has hands, that's a bonus that we haven't grown accustomed to

It's a Chron writer's opinion, but it could be true.
There’s still much work to be done. The Texans likely will be shopping for a veteran corner to play opposite Kareem Jackson and for someone to play safety with Glove Quin.
I do think Barber has to fight for his roster spot, that’s for certain,

I think there is a new mindset for the type of players wanted in Houston. It’s showing, the old ones do not fit the criteria. Barber, Nolan, Bentley maybe.

Ok for some reason i cannot make a fan post, so this may be long.
Now that the draft is over and ,yes i know Free agents play a big part, but i was wondering what people think how we will stack up agianst the teams we play now.
Colts: Castonzo and Ijalana will play tackle and try and stop our new D. Nevis was a good pickup and should start. Carter will go in and win that starting job in Indy.
Dolphins: Pouncey Daniel thomas and edmond gates will help that team
Saints: well if we was worried about playing thme before we really going to be worried now. Ingram is going to run crazy, Jordan and martez wilson will be starting. patrick should compete too.
Steelers: Dont know if any of their rookies will start right away which is scary.
Raiders: I really see them playing alot of thier rookies.
Ravens: They scare you already but i wonder if Mason and T.J. are gone now. Jimmy will get the ravens back to their blitzing ways leaving him on a island.
TiTs: no comment
Jag: no comment
Browns Look like a scary team now i Colt gets another WR in Little and a pretty good TE in Jordan Cameron. Phil taylor and Sheard will help up front.
Bucs: Scare me a little cuz that front four is going to be nice.
Falcons: What can i say i just hope we come to play and our Secondary is ready.
Bengals: No comment yet
Panthers: We saw what tebow did last year right? It want happen again.
So what is everybody thoughts.
pretty much seeing the teams we are going to play this year
and what they drafted. how do we feel about those teams now? you kknow how some of us said we can beat cincy earlier but now look at their team.
I don't see a comment on Cincy
I didn't do anything wrong!.... and, I won't do it again.

I think he means we will not make another rookie QB into a star
Like we did with Tebow & Flacco

About his 40 speed.
I just want to mention that Arian Foster didn’t have a fast 40 time either. His pro day 40 times were BARELY at what NFL scouts consider minimum for RB’s.http://blogs.knoxnews.com/edwards/2009/03/arain-foster-has-rough-pro-day.html Here is an interesting article by a UT blog talking about Foster’s pro day. Check out the comments to.
All I’m saying is that just because his 40 is slow now doesn’t mean he can’t get faster. He may improve enough and become a seriously good player.
No matter how bad it gets,I will believe.It's the only thing I have left for the Texans.
out of all the pics..
most intrigued by this one. still a little sad we cut pollard, but if i had to guess the new team leader in YAK YAK t-shirts next year it’s gonna be this guy.

His contract is up and he hasn't been resigned? Is that correct?

I'm no vault of information
You might want to confirm that with other sources. Little know fact…. I sometimes make things up to suit my devious purposes.

I'm glad we have someone with a "football player mentality."
That could come in handy in a professional football player.
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.
