PFW: Texans Will Attempt To Resign Vonta Leach, Jacoby Jones

The news from Pro Football Weekly isn't much of a shock, but it looks like the Texans will attempt to retain their two key free agents on the offensive side of the ball. Whether they'll receive more lucrative offers from other teams is another story altogether.

A little throwaway line at the end also foreshadows the uphill battle Trindon Holliday could face to make the team if there is a preseason and training camp. I'm going to place my bet on practice squad at best.

I still think Trindon will make it.

JJ was no great shakes as a KR last year, and everyone else who tried was worse.

id like to hear everyone elses thoughts on jj

i spent all season long HATING jacoby, for the fact that everytime he was thrown the ball, especially on 3rd downs where he was in the game most, he would have drive stalling drops…it sux hes a FA and we cant try and get somthing out of him via trade..we really dont have nething to plug in for him (regardless of the thoughts of guys who thing dd will be a big impact this year) but still at the end of the day, to me, he has more neg impact then positive…its his job to catch the ball, so to get excited when he does..is moot to me…am i the only one that went thro all of last season like this?

by Mike Ram on Jul 7, 2011 4:59 PM CDT reply actions

I sorta like him as a punt-returner, still.

If we hadn’t committed penalties on 99.99% of our punt returns last year, he’d have had a respectable season back there.

I also agree with Kubiak’s stance that you don’t spend a few years developing a guy, then let him come into his own somewhere else. He was raw when we drafted him, he has shown flashes of brilliance (unlike Okoye), and he should still be fairly cheap.

by Nashmeister on Jul 7, 2011 6:23 PM CDT up reply actions

Same here

I personally like the kid (obvious Kubism) and still think he has dynamite potential. I also think he’s not as dumb as his aw shucks, country boy persona makes him out to be. No doubt he knows what the talk is surrounding him, and if he’s smart he’s putting a lot of focus into improving his catches and his attention to detail. it’s the only thing keeping him from being great in my opinion.

Even though he drops the ball at the most inopportune times he still makes a great deal of impact plays. I have no problem if we re-sign him.

Plus, it can't be restated enough

He knows the offense, and with a shortened off season who else is going to step right in and be up to Jacoby’s speed right away? Let’s not forget that this is a make or break year for Kubiak and he can’t afford to take risks on a free agent when he already knows what he has in Jones.

by Mike Ram on Jul 7, 2011 9:20 PM CDT via mobile up reply actions

I don't think hand size is Jacoby's problem

Maybe for someone with Anderson’s frame but Jacoby is a fairly big dude for a receiver, and it’s pretty uncommon for someone that size to have small hands.

Personally I think his problem is concentration. A lot of his mistakes come from either anticipating his steps after the catch or the contact he is going to receive if/when he makes the catch. That split second that his eyes are looking up field or he’s thinking about getting hit can be the difference in a catch or a drop. You always hear coaches talk about looking the ball into your hands, and all of the great receivers are masters at it.

That’s definitely something that’s coach-able, but I have to assume it’s more difficult for punt returners because if they aren’t anticipating their initial moves to avoid contact then they tend to get blown up.

Bottom line: I think Jones has all the talent if he just keeps improving his concentration. And don’t underestimate his knowledge of Kubiak’s offense. A free agent may be able to come in and learn the basic routes in his first season, but Jacoby (and I assume Walter as well) are expected to know the routes of each position in case Andre goes down. That would be a lot to ask a first year FA. That’s why I say Kubiak would rather roll with Jacoby and Walter.

by Hydroshock on Jul 8, 2011 10:03 AM CDT up reply actions

forgot about the -looking for the hit before the catch is made-

great point to bring up again..i remember looking back on old game films with him and THAT being a big part of his drops..and ur right that it is uncommon but if u google “jacoby jones small hands” it does have a pic and u can see hes got the hands of 5’9" guy…but i did like the guy a ton as a rook, i thought he would be further along at this point and he made me loathe netime he was on the field last year, but at the end of the day, uve convinced me to give me a clean shot this year to win me bak..

by Mike Ram on Jul 8, 2011 11:27 AM CDT up reply actions

Heh, I didn't know about the hand size thing

Thanks for pointing that out. In the pics I saw they didn’t look that small, but Jones himself says he can’t even palm a girl’s basketball so I’ll take it for what it’s worth. So yeah, that could have something to do with the drops but I still question his concentration. There were times when I noticed alligator arms when he went over the middle, plus he was looking up field on a few drops. Hopefully he works on that because I really would like to see the guy take it to the next level.

It was the one flaw in his pre-draft measurables.

Most wrote it off, and it’s something that can certainly be improved upon with technique. But it’s certainly a disadvantage… Still, if he’s capable of making a catch like that two-point conversion in the Baltimore(?) game, then he’s capable of catching anything; it’s just a matter of consistency.

by Nashmeister on Jul 8, 2011 11:41 AM CDT up reply actions

That's what I'm sayin

Some of his catches are pretty sick. Remember the one in the preseason game his rookie year? Right corner of the endzone, and I want to say it was a one hander but I could be wrong.

He’s got plenty of ability. Even as much as Breaston in my opinion, although I think he’s more polished at this point in his career. Jacoby was definitely raw when Kubiak found him, that’s not even debatable, but I gotta give props where they’re do. He’s come a long way since then and I think he’ll play a long time in the league, even if it’s not as a Texan.

We'll probably carry 25 offensive players on the 53.

3 QB’s
5 WR’s
4 RB’s
1 FB
4 TE’s
8 oline

Holliday will definitely have problems making the roster. He would have to take up either the 3rd QB’s or 4th RB’s spot. No way he takes the 5th WR’s spot. I can see us carrying 2 QB’s again, with TJ Yates on the practice squad.

I think the top 3 TE's are a given,

but Anthony Hill get’s the nod on the 53 over Garrett Graham and Graham is resigned to the practice squad for the regular season. I think Graham was drafted to hedge the possible loss of OD in FA or if he didn’t come back to full strength. OD, Dreesen, Casey, and Graham all have the same skill set— pass catchers, but not very good blockers on the line of scrimmage. Anthony Hill will be given the opportunity to earn a spot because he is a different TE and can play different roles than the other guys play on special teams (meaning he would be a better front line blocker on both punt teams and kick return). Hill Is almost the same size as Mario Williams (he’s listed at 6’6" 277), where the other 3 are all about 6’3" 240. That will at least get him on the 53, IF he stays healthy and doesn’t get the swine flu. . . again.

No doubt Hill is the best blocking prospect of all the TEs

But I’m not so sure where this talk about the rest of them not being very good blockers comes from. I think Dreesen’s strength is more blocking than catching, and OD has steadily improved every season. Plus, Casey has been rumored to replace Vonta at FB if he’s not resigned. They wouldn’t even consider it if he weren’t a very good blocker, right?

by Hydroshock on Jul 8, 2011 10:17 AM CDT up reply actions

If you go with 2 QB's on the 53 man roster

than you have to have a QB on the practice squad. Your defense needs someone to practice against that simulates the opponents and that is usually the 3rd QB. The top 2 spend all their time with the offense going over game planning. The extra QB does extra duty by simulating the other teams QB. I think Yates will happily go to the practice squad while he comes up to speed in the NFL, and Kubiak (as well as sume of he draft pundints this year) seem to like him.

Just go back and read all of Kubiak's quotes from last season

Holliday was terrible as a receiver. According to Kubs he looked lost and needed to pull his head out of his ass or he wasn’t going to be on the field.

It takes a lot for Kuiak to openly criticize and individual player. Usually he just gives you the status quo, non descriptive answers when he’s not happy. When he goes on the record about a player sucking, you can bank on it being a legitimate concern.

Not saying the kid can’t turn into a better receiver, but there’s no way in hell I would want him on the field over Anderson any time soon. Not until Kubiak starts singing his praises from the roof of the stadium.

Everyone is so quick to armchair coach their way to improving our receiving core. I just don’t get it. David Anderson is freaking MONEY at receiver depth. He’s proven, sure hand and just like you say the guy comes up huge for us on third downs. I see no reason for a change when it comes to DA.

You get exactly what you want out of each guy. They both play to the maximum of their expected/wanted ability with nearly zero faults. Yet two years ago some were wondering if Dreessen would even make the squad, what with Casey now on the team.

Well Dreessen is a better TE than Casey. And David Anderson is a better WR than Dorin Dickerson. I’m glad the real coaches don’t agree with the armchair coaches.

He did seem to have a drop off in playing time last season

But I think that is mostly contributed to allowing Jones far more reps, to see if he’s ready to be a star. Most of the time it was some version of AJ, JJ, and Walter.

I don’t think the lack of reps proves anything except that those three are better overall receivers than AD, but that still doesn’t mean he hasn’t been clutch when he’s been on the field.
