Kasey Studdard Is The Newest Texan!

by Tim on Apr 29, 2007 2:04 PM CDT in News

Forgive me my non-partisan ways, but I could not be happier with the acquisition of fellow Horn Kasey Studdard. Having watched Studdard play for the last four years, I can't wait to watch him bring his aggressive and no-nonsense offensive line play to H-Town. He'll be a fine addition to the offensive line, and scouts seem to think he may be best suited for center in the NFL. Mike Flanagan and Steve McKinney are not getting any younger, so an iflux of youth at that position is a smart call.

I'm absolutely giddy right now.

as they like to say...

he has a motor that does not stop running. hard worker, good leader. plus, he is one scary-looking MF in uniform and eye-black.

he's a always been a longhorn fan favorite

Studdard

Kasey will be a regular starter for the Texans...not necessarily this year, but it won't be long. Great late-round pick by Smith.

The guy is an absolute work-horse, who got very little credit/attention for the Longhorns' success over the past 4 years.

After the fizzle that was Sloan Thomas, I am thrilled to have a Horn of this caliber to root for on the home team.

Viva Studdard!

We can be critical of the draft picks, but in the end we always support the new Texan.

Yes

A Longhorn on the team and more importantly an addition to our O line.

I really think the Texans should focus on adding local talent to the team. In light of the Vince Young debacle, Smith and Kubiak should attract players from UT, A&M, Tech, UH, and Rice, because of the local interest that it generates. This comes with the obvious caveat that the players are talented enough to play for the Texans.

The Texans should be made of Texans.

Cult Hero

Usually tems fans are clammoring for the back up QB to get in the game. This may be the first time that if our team has a bad offensive game, fans call into talk radio begging for the backup guard to get a shot.

I can hear it already..."Jacoby Jones drops another perfectly thrown ball from Matt Schaub. Man, that's unfortunate for the Texans! Maybe they should give that Studdard kid a shot and see what happens."

I think people should have to earn a Superman tattoo, by getting shot in the chest first. You know, just to make sure.

Jared Zabranski

QB Boise State is the newest Texan. I am very excited about this. He's a good guy to have as a third string QB and is athletic enough to move to WR, RB, or DB. I actually was pulling for this guy to be Carr's eventual replacement before the Schaub deal. Anyway, is anyone else even remotely excited about this?

Love It, But...

He's going to have a tough time getting much higher than the practice squad this season. Kubes generally only carries two QBs, and I think the Schaub-Rosenfels tandem is fairly set in stone. I love the signing though, and I hope it works out for both the Texans and JZ.

Looking forward to a day when being a Texans fan doesn't mean that April is the highlight of my season...
