Texans Make Final Cuts, Now Have No Punter

SPECIALS
P Brad Maynard
LS Scott Albritton
With these moves, the Texans are down to 52 men. Almost all of the non-Bryant Johnson WR's were waived, so look for them to add someone there. The Texans also now have no punter, meaning they can feel free to unleash the revolutionary four down offense. Or sign one. Whatever.
Players who I am surprised made the final roster include Steve Slaton and Roc Carmichael, who both sat out the entirety of the preseason with injuries. The greatest player who has ever lived, undrafted linebacker Bryan Braman, also made the roster.
Edit Un: Tolliver and Ozougwu went to IR.

He along with Cheta are probably going to the practice squad.
Perhaps Chris O as well.
Prediction: 11-5 AFC South champions.
I think Chris O will be picked up somewhere
Just based off of the first pre-season game. Just my guess, though.
I'm a household name... at my house.
Michael Vick is the best throwing running back of all time.

Did during the draft season as well. Would really hope he can latch onto the practice squad.

Is this still because
of his concussion from the first game?

No new WR for now I think.
We go with 4 RB’s considering Foster’s healthy.
Slaton will be cut/traded after the first few weeks if Foster gets back to 100%.
Prediction: 11-5 AFC South champions.
God
I hope so, I was really looking forward to Chris O getting a shot at running back…maybe he’ll go to the practice squad but i dont see him surviving this round of cuts and be signed only as a practice squad. He deserves a chance giving what he did with us this preseason…

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Mister got cut… The greatest name ever… and he is now gone… good luck Mister…
Yep...in a team of players with the coolest/weirdest names...
He’s a first stringer for damn sure…
Roc is supposed to be put on the IR.
No way we keep 7 CBs. That’s absurd.

Last we heard.
He could be healthy now. Haven’t heard anything recently.
And we have a total of 12 DB’s on the team now. I think we had 12 last season.
Prediction: 11-5 AFC South champions.
Doesn't mean they won't stash him on the IR
They did it with Holliday last year with a thumb injury

I know I'm just saying last I was hearing from coaches it was possible he could have played that last game.
He could be completely healthy now. And we did in fact carry 12 DB’s last season. At least after we signed Allen.

- We play the Indy game with only the four WRs that are currently on our roster?

I realize that I’m worrying about something that is probably trivial… But I’m unaccustomed to not having to worry about the whole flaming defense so I’m having to adjust gradually.

If Peyton remained on the PUP
I could actually see us going into that game with only 3 WRs and no punter.

I thought we might carry only 4 WR.
We can move Casey and Owen to the slot out of our 2WR/2TE sets. Clearly no one really stood out to warrant using a #5 spot on. So we keep Slaton as insurance in case Foster has issues week 1 and moving forward.
Trade him if we don’t need that 4th RB after week 4 or something and active a player off the PS.
Prediction: 11-5 AFC South champions.
I like the vision of relying, a bit, on on OD and THOR, in the slot. Probably has some truth to it, as well, and it would be killer on running plays.
I’m just drooling over the possibility of Slaton somehow returning to form as a RB. Might be far fetched, but who knows?…
We keep dreaming this
Why doesn’t Koobs read this blog?!?!
I didn't do anything wrong!.... and, I won't do it again.
I'm thinking
- Slaton will be fine. We’re over analyzing him, it’s also possible he’s used as the #5 slot guy, which might be the reason they’re keeping him.
- also slim. Newton is clearly not ready for the team, we’re more than likely looking for quality veteran depth at OL, Braman will get cut for receiver #5, or it could be Roc who then gets relegated to practice squad.
btw, how many practice squad positions are there? and why did lestar jean make the IR?? why couldn’t they just have him make the team?

Rick Smith....
While he has had a roller coaster tenure. One of the things I believe he has done well is find guys douring this period. Pollard, Jason Allen, Mark Anderson, Derrick Ward. Thats just a few I didn’t even have to stop typing to think of…. I think the fact that there are already only 52 and we all can see an OL or maybe WR and definately a punter is a good sign that he is about to put in some work. If he is at all competitive he will be like ok Kubes, you got this O poppin. Wade you came in and made some noise. Now let me go do my thang….. At least thats how the story goes is in my world!
I'm legendary bitch!!!!
ya, that's pretty accurate.
Rick Smith is one of the more underrated GM’s I think. Most of the defensive problems can possibly be attributed to lack of coaching on Bush’s staff. I feel good about what we’re keeping and I do feel good about the talent left on the waivers to claim. We could easily get some surprises for next season.

There really is no reason to. You are experiencing a drought first hand, and it concerns you. You chose to express your faith, just b/c some people deride it: no reason to apologize. I got yo back.
I appreciate the kind words...
…and I’m not apologizing for my faith. But this isn’t the place for bringing it up because it has been clearly defined as an off-limits topic. I don’t want to violate that premise because I want to be able to come here to talk about football and escape politics and religious-bashing of all flavors.

Don't feel bad.
I doubt he’d be taken very high in the NFL draft to be honest.
Prediction: 11-5 AFC South champions.
More like he's coming from Conference-USA.
He’ll probably get picked though if he puts up big enough numbers.
Prediction: 11-5 AFC South champions.
Unless they somehow trade for Carson Palmer

Keenum + Barkley.
This year’s wasn’t that bad either man. Ponder, Gabbert, Newton, Yates, and Locker all look to be solid players.
I watched their game today but probably won't watch any more.
Bad defense is big turn off for me.
Prediction: 11-5 AFC South champions.

With 4 forced fumbles Nordly Capi holds the NCAA record for most FF in a single game. The previous high was 3.
I'm legendary bitch!!!!
Kellen Moore is starting to carve up the Georgia defense with ease
Murphy’s 20th Military Law:

He's a very accurate passer
Probably a mid-round target for a west coast offense

If the Colts draft a mid-round QB next year, pop the bubbly
because that means Peyton is on his way out.
Maybe
Who knows, maybe it is time for them to develop their next QB of the future, like the Pats are possibly doing with Mallett

Well, if Manning's contract worked out the way they wanted it to
any QB they draft now would hit unrestricted status before he had a chance to start.
Unless Mario has something to say about that

by The Night Owl on Sep 3, 2011 9:36 PM CDT up reply actions
Hence my point about the contract working the way the Colts want it to
Can’t make any judgments until the season starts but he’s definitely looking a little fragile right now. We’ll have to see how fast he is to get up after his first big hit of the season to have a real idea of that.
Mallett
was a fantastic pickup for the Patriots. I honestly think this draft class for qb’s is going extremely undervalued and underrated.
It's just so unbalanced.
Almost every game is a complete steamrolling by one side or the other.
Say what you will about the Lions, 49ers, etc., but while you can expect them to lose, they’re always capable of doing something stunning.
Yeah the non-conference games are usually bad but the inter-conference games are good.
And games between ranked opponents are usually good.
Upsets tend to happen in those inter-conference games.
Prediction: 11-5 AFC South champions.
Doesn't help that I went to a school without a football team.
I’d probably care a lot more if I had a team to root for. Instead I just focus my energy on the Texans.
With Boise State usually being the obvious exception

Do you remember that game a few years ago
I belive it was Pitt and Cincy on the last game of the year it was a shootout.
that was one of the most exiting games I’ve seen in a while. I think Pike was the QB for Cincy.
If I saw video of it I would.
Pike and Cincy were fun to watch.
I remember a game PITT played I think against West Virginia and Revis had that amazing punt return that won play of the year.
Also, when West Virginia had the combo of Slaton and Pat White they were so much fun to watch.
Prediction: 11-5 AFC South champions.
Trust me
if you saw a clip of it you would know which one I was talking about.
It was a bad ass game from start to finish. I think a field goal won it for Cincy in the last seconds.
This one here is probably the craziest game in recent years I can remember
Lions vs Browns 2009

Oregon is going to lose their game.
That fumble will cost them.
Prediction: 11-5 AFC South champions.
That LSU defense has them in check.
If LSU scores a TD here it’s going to be very hard for Oregon to win.
Prediction: 11-5 AFC South champions.
Just as you type that LSU takes the ball away again.
This game is going to get ugly.
Prediction: 11-5 AFC South champions.
That LSU defense is legit.
They have kept Oregon in check most of the game. If their offense was a little more consistent they’d be nearly unbeatable.
Prediction: 11-5 AFC South champions.
If their starting QB doesn't go do something stupid like kicking a US Marine in the head, maybe they be a bit more consistent

Well he wasn't even the full time starter.
He and the other one rotated. They just need a consistent full time starter.

He did add another dimension to their offense as a mobile QB
Which Lee isn’t

True but they rarely had him pass.
They had him running the option last year and it just resulted in them struggling to score points and move the ball. Than put Lee in on 3rd down on obvious passes.
Les Miles took a lot of criticism for that.
Prediction: 11-5 AFC South champions.
Les Miles always takes criticism
But it’s hard to knock him when what he does just seems to work. They do need a better QB though

Bad ball security by Oregon.
That last one was by a freshman. Oregon has done more to beat itself tonight than LSU has.

I'm spending more time reading this than watching.
So I’m probably not getting a good read of how the teams are playing, other than Oregon trying very hard to lose.
by Jonathan Fosburgh on Sep 3, 2011 9:51 PM CDT reply actions
I had doubts Oregon would operate well agaisnt LSU's defense.
But those turnovers are just murder. LSU is just to fast and to physical on defense. They’ve been in control most of the game.
Prediction: 11-5 AFC South champions.
Looks like they may not be handling the Texas heat too well.
Looks like a number of players have had leg cramps. Guess nobody bothered to check a weather report for Dallas all summer long.

Nate Potter, LT of Boise State, has looked very nice today
He’s been talked about as a potential first round pick next April, so I’mma earmark him as a potential Texans pick.
"Lord, beer me strength."
Who would he replace?
Brown or Winston?
Do you put Winston at guard and play Potter at tackle? Or just let him ride the bench for a year?

Let that play out over camp
I’m just a fan of investing 1st round talent into the lines….and Potter seems like a good ZBS fit since he can move.
"Lord, beer me strength."
That sounds good.
Though the Texans are known for drafting needs instead of drafting talent. But I do agree with you. Games are won in the trenches

ya I agree
I think we should definitely invest in some 1st round OL depth or DL depth in this year’s draft. It wouldn’t kill us to draft a real #2 as well.

Really Bummed about Maehl
So did they keep that bryant Johnson guy over Maehl- may be sorry about that. Maehl will show up on some team in the future I hope.
I really
don’t understand why we decided to keep Slaton. Whatever blackmail he has must be mighty embarrassing.
Or they have too many Texan Jerseys made
with his name on them to sell. I received an email couple of days ago about the latest jerseys and when I clicked on the link there it was with all our big name players. I took it as a premonition that we were keeping him.

I think they kept slaton
because they still think they can trade him for something
"Slammed that hoe on the counter like I just got 35 on the domino table!!"
Sherrod Harris
or b/c he has versatility.
he had his moments as a slot receiver and punt returner. Slaton is 2 seasons removed from a 1000 yard rookie season guys. I think we’re a bit hard on him.
haha quite true
he did play in the slot every now and then. Kubes used to motion him out from the backfield to empty it, and then he’d play the slot every now and then. It wasn’t ‘great’ either, but Slaton has some added skill. He’s worth a roster spot I think.
Dorin Dickerson?? What the fuck texans
Or did he have a shit camp.
I like to think of myself as being like Andre.. only lighter.. and minus alot of the athleticism.

He had a blegh preseason. But I don’t agree with cutting him, either. Dude has a ton of potential.

7th round tight end who isn't a WR. All his hype comes from a good combine.
Hopefully next year we’ll draft a guy who actually played the position in college. Although Lestar Jean might develop into a good WR next season.

I'm a Raiders fan... but the texans are my favorite team to watch.
Love the offense. you guys can score with anybody. Foster is getting a lot of hate lately, but personally i think he’s the best back since Priest Holmes.
Remember when Slaton was a monster? Doesn’t seem that long ago. I’m happy they kept him. Not a fan of Ward.
Kenwo4life=ratings. Just call me Mr. USA Today.
Do you mean best undrafted back since Holmes?
Because I can think of a couple of guys who have been a little better than Holmes over the past few seasons, Foster notwithstanding.

i'm talking about an all around back. that could take it to the house on a run from the 1, the 30 or on a reception.
Kenwo4life=ratings. Just call me Mr. USA Today.
quick question
how many practice squad positions do we have? IR? PUP?
and what’s the deal w/ IR, can they not play the entire year? if that’s the case, why did we stash Lestar Jean on that? Wouldn’t it make more sense to practice squad him or have him make the team? His shoulder injury didn’t seem that serious, I didn’t get that move at all.
My opinion: We’ll round out the roster w/ a punter, cut Braman, Newton, and Carmichael and pick up a veteran OL, a 5th wr, and maybe another OL. Depending on the practice squad #, I’m thinking we stash Keo, Carmichael, and Maehl. Maybe even Chris O.
ohh
Olshansky was cut. I could easily see that as a pickup for the Texans by releasing someone like Newton.
We have a total of 8 PS positions available, I believe
-- "...I was sick, napping, and then woke up and came to the computer to read a note from the Gingered Angel of Doom..." Martek - Dynamo Theory Blog
Not sure about PUP
But yes, IR means they can’t play the rest of the year. However they CAN sit in on team meetings, learn the playbook, etc. If they are semi-injured then the team gets to teach a player a lot of class room stuff, that way they have a better chance to make the team next year. I think the downside though is that their salary goes against the cap, so there is a trade-off. I believe the # allowed on IR is unlimited since it counts against the cap.
The unbelievable has happened
Antwaun Molden has made the NE Patriots. He’s still in the NFL. The Texans were quick to dump him and now he’s made one of the Super Bowl favorites. Do you know what this tells me?
