Texans Sign Seven to Reserve-Future Deals
Via scout.com, the seven are DL Ra'Shon Harris, KR Trindon Holliday, WR Juaquin Iglesias, LB Derrell Smith, C Cody Wallace, RB Javarris Williams, and DB Torri Williams. A few familiar names in that list.

Because he has Olympic-level speed
and has shown (at least in college) the ability to be a game-breaking return man? That would be my guess.

In case anyone was wondering
“what the hell is a reserve-future contract?”
Players signed to "reserve/future" contracts means they are being signed for the 2012 season even though that season does not officially begin until March. Only players who were not on any NFL team’s active roster when the 2011 season ended are eligible for such signings; if they were under contract, then they remain so until March. Players who were on practice squads at the end of the season are eligible to sign with any team.

Smith tends to use these free agent signings as a fall back position
in what he perceives as areas of need for the team. That way on draft day, he has the flexibility to take the BPA. Look at the positions he signed:
WR: check
DL:check
C: check
DB:check
punt returner:check
NT:?? sorry BFD
Harris is technically an NT

trindon and torri williams were I know, and I think Cody Wallace was too
who was the 4th you were thinking of? Still, those are the positions I think Smith feels we have the most need for. Not sure why the RB though. Is Ward a free agent this year? He is getting a little long in the tooth for sure.
I believe Ward is a free agent.

No way he comes back. He's lost the #2 job, so he's too expensive.
I wonder where he’ll find a home next season. Could he finally make his way back to his old coach and contend for the starting job in Seattle? I doubt he’ll find much interest elsewhere.

They need a QB pretty desperately. If they get Leinart in Free Agency, they can draft a QB early and let him sit for a season or two, plus Leinart gets a chance to rehab his image.

If we're being totally honest
Our special teams hasn’t been that great for quite a while, with the exception of our coverage unit. Brahman, Dobbins, and Alexander were pretty good at limiting return yardage this year.
I'm a man!! I'm forty!!
i like joe.
a lot of those penalties were the result of non experienced players on special teams. i would imagine next season with a full roster (including some upgrades on special teams) they’ll produce more. i just don’t see it as a scheme problem as much as a personnel problem…
Michael: The feeling that you're feeling is what many of us call...a feeling.
Gob: It's not like envy, or even hungry...
But it's the same shit every year.
Dumb penalties, one aspect of ST that looks really good and hides the fact that another aspect is pretty terrible, a PR who continues to run backward, etc. Seriously, I need to find the post I did in 2008, because you could change the date and players’ names and it would still fit. That’s not a good thing.

After the way he’s been jerked around, I’m rooting for the guy.
"How can an idiot be a policeman? Answer me that!"

Not with how high he's likely to go in the draft.
I like him - one of the few Razorbacks I’d say that about - but with his speed and size (6-0/190ish), plus his ability to play special teams and WR, he’s probably going in the third or even very late second depending on his showing at the Combine.

The Two-Day Hangover @ Battle Red Blog (2011) & SBN Houston (2010) | Twitter | About MDC
I know he might go high.
So what is stopping us from getting two WR’s in this draft? If we get the one we want in the first, then get whatever we need in 2nd i can see us moving up agian in the 2nd or 3rd to pick him up.
What's stopping us? I'll tell you what. If Kubiak is unwilling to cut Kevin Walter, that would stop us

Johnson likely won't be

Hope we bring in two wide recievers
drop Jacoby and look for a vet. If we can’t find a vet we for the right price, we should bring in a WR early and one in the middle rounds. Then let Maehl and Jean battle it out for #5 with the loser going to the PS. Ton of talent in rounds 2-5 for WR’s this year.

agree 100% about Jeffery
I would rather us take a back up punter in the first round then Jeffery.

Glad to see Cody Wallace get another shot.
He’s from near my neck of the woods (Cuero), and I have some friends that know his family. Pretty good guy and I like to see local guys make it. He may never actually make it on the 53, but at least his getting a shot. Good Luck!!!

not quite, but close.
He actually lives on a ranch down the road in Goliad. He comes into my old hometown (Victoria) every now and then. Other than that, he pretty much stays out at his ranch house and hangs out in Goliad. If you didn’t know before hand that it was Bum, you would never guess that he was ever anything other than one of the local ranchers. I’m glad he’s associated himself with the Texans and not the Titans.

Boot Jacoby.... and go with Desean Jackson
I feel like Kubes has a crush on knucklehead WR/PR who mean well but eff up from time to time…. Jacoby has obviously hit his potential ceiling and unfortunately he will only get worst from here..
Desean Jackson however is a deep threat and has proven to be clutch in the return game.

My 2011 AFC Divisional Round Prediction
TEXANS 26
Ravens 13
Flacco will have 2 costly turnovers
Ray Rice 20 carries for 78 yds 1 td
Rackers will have game of his life 4/4 FGs
One of those costly turnovers from Flacco will result in a Defensive Texans TD
Arian Foster 30 carries for 131 yds
Dreesen 4 catches 28 yds 1 td
Andre Johnson 8 catches 140 yds
T.J. Yates 18/31 205 yds 1 td 1 int

On one hand he could be a cheap 1 year rental cause I can't see anyone giving him a fat contract after the year he's had
On the other hand he’s a dumbass.

I don't recall Jackson really having problems with teammates prior to this year...
And I have to say….The Eagles organization really did do him dirty. I mean to expect every athlete to handle that situation like Ghandi is kinda unfair.
I can empathize with Desean somewhat because I’ve heard of ppl who had similar work experience when they found out they had far more responsibility than their colleagues, yet their colleagues were being paid far more than they were. It can have an affect on you.
But to bring in all of those FA’s and sign them to major contracts but not take care of the guy who saved their season.
The organization made him feel like they didn’t want him but they wanted to put on the line and not pay him his worth. I thought that was dirty. I believe the Desean situation is a little more nuanced than people want to acknowledge.
Jacoby Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

Arian Foster disagrees
He led the league in rushing last year but did he complain one time about his contract situation this year? No. What he did is carry this team to it’s best season ever. He’ll get paid. Jackson won’t.

Right. When Urlacher came out strongly in his corner, that settled it for me.

The guy is a diva, a headcase and a one-dimensional receiver. We already have one of those in Jacoby Jones, except Jones has actually shown a willingness and ability to block.
Jackson is a great deep threat and a terrifying punt returner, but to me that’s not worth the headaches and childishness.
GET A SILK BAG FROM THE GRAVEYARD DUCK TO LIVE LONGER.
jackson hasn't been a terrifying punt returner in a while

I can't remember him doing much in 2010 at all really
but that might be on all the dumb penalties more then him
Watch me all in flames, on a butterfly I ride
if he can't block, it won't happen
I imagine Kubes cares about that more than deep threat ability.
My interpretation of how this offense works is that if we go after speed it needs to be someone who is good in space and can catch + run. Think of all the screens and quick passes where someone more elusive and directionally inclined than Jacoby could pick up extra yards. Walter is your (typically) sure-handed possession guy but isn’t really going to break free ever, and the rare deep shots are reserved more for Andre.
Hell, I think we ran about as many reverses with Jacoby as deep passes to him. That should tell you something.
Also, I see a lot of comments about getting a “deep threat to draw coverage away from AJ”. Two fast WR’s running streaks on opposite sides of the field isn’t the only schematic way to draw coverage away from Andre. If you have a guy that is dangerous with YAC on short to mid routes that can be just as effective in occupying a safety, in the same way that OD often has a LB covering him with a safety trailing.
