Texans Sign Zac Pauga
Able to give LanceZ full credit this time on the linky.
Here's a scouting report on Pauga.
That sound you just heard is Vonta Leach NOT being re-signed.
Edit: We love Vonta, we do. But he played in only 38% of offensive snaps on the year. According to ProFootballFocus, almost the entirety of his 2010 value is derived from the first Colts game. Vonta was awful in 2009. If we don't re-sign him, it will not be the end of the world.

THCM will not be re-signed.................

Saw this coming realy
Kubiak’s offense is famed for [insert RB here] to be modular. There’s no way a FB is going to rack money in this system. Let’s just hope Foster tears it up again so well that he gets a pay day.
NFLPA: "If the owners want to drink Merlot, we're drinking Merlot."
Players: "No, if anyone orders Merlot, I'm leaving. I am NOT drinking any f**king Merlot!"
Only 38% of the snaps? That was fewer than I thought…..I’m okay with not re-signing him. Pauga’s a camp body unless he shows something more than Casey.
"Lord, beer me strength."
Just another camp body.
Texans need 90 guys for training camp. But I did see Vonta going regardless. Not enough value in this system to warrant a big contract.
No matter how bad it gets,I will believe.It's the only thing I have left for the Texans.

continues unabated. Zac is from Colorado State. It appears that he was never a tight end though……
Everything I read on Pauga says he’s a great receiver out of the backfield.
"Lord, beer me strength."
Yeah.
I seem to recall a 40-yd TD grab from him when I was looking at FBs before the draft.

Whatever
he's from Colorado St. so this is just more evidence that Smithiak are terrible at their jobs

Yep
Never mind the fact the Texans have allegedly inked 18 players since yesterday. THE FO SUCKS!
Also, let’s look at the CSU players we feel forced to grab: Joel Dreessen and Mike Brisiel SUCK.
A Texans fan. Really. No, I'm not kidding.

He had to go to the Colorado State pipeline
Is that horse dead yet?

Most of those players turn out to be a solid role players
A FB is just that.

I'm not talking about them panning out
I’m just talking about sticking obsessively to that pipeline. I’m not sure what we have more of, TEs or Colorado State alumni

Fixed it for you
I’m just talking about sticking obsessively to that pipeline. I’m not sure what we have more of, that we have enough TEs or Colorado State alumni

Lestar Jean

I feel like thats irrelevant
If we look good, we might psyche the other team out into thinking we are actually good, which could go a long way.
Explain why Matt Schaub is still around.

Good point.
Looks like he could start getting his AARP benefits in a few years..

Addition by subtraction.
casey will be the full back, and the best reviving full back in the league.

Just because
…we sign an undrafted fullback doesn’t mean Leach won’t be back. With such a short free agent signing period it may be that Leach doesn’t get a huge offer with other teams trying to address other key positions. And with that Leach might sign back here for less than what he would have envisioned. I don’t think it’s a crap shoot he’s gone. I agree that there are other options, but let’s see how this all plays out…
I doubt he's back
…but here’s my guess. The Texans told Leach to see what he can get and they will see if they can match it. Since someone will likely pay him well the Texans are hedging their bets and making sure they have some options going into camp.
If Leach only gets offered a low impact deal we could still see him back in Houston. Unlikely? Yes, but it’s not entirely out of the question….yet.

Agreed, they are hedging their bet, but it is likely Leach is gone
Even at a decreased rate if that is the best another team offers, the Texans can still save money with Casey and one of these other guys, then have that money for a good DB free agent.
I didn't do anything wrong!.... and, I won't do it again.
Can anyone confirm yet whether or not we signed Terrance Tolliver?
I’ve seen it reported in a couple of places with uncertainty.
Welcome to Houston, J.J. Watt, Brooks Reed, Brandon Harris, Rashad Carmichael, Shiloh Keo, T.J. Yates, Derek Newton, and Cheta Ozougwu!
Rick will re-up with Vonta
Because I custom ordered a Vonta jersey after the Colts season opener.
Reason enough, right?
This needed to be said.
Too much emphasis has been placed on Leach while the efforts of our tremendous run-blocking O-line combined with Foster are far more important. 38% of snaps you say? That sounds about right, and Foster ran pretty well out of single-back sets when he had to.
I think a lot of fans have been suffering from separation anxiety when it comes to Leach
It’s tough to say goodbye to someone who played well and should continue to play well.
I didn't do anything wrong!.... and, I won't do it again.
