Back to Business - Texans Cut Eight

John McClain reports that the Texans cut their roster down to 76 players on Sunday and will need to make one additional cut by Tuesday.  McClain also writes that the last decision is possibly related to a decision on Charles Spencer, who may be placed on the physically unable to perform list, which would keep him out of game action for the first six weeks of the regular season.  No surprises here, though I'd like to see Adams kept on the practice squad, if possible.  As for Spencer, Kubiak told McClain that he is positive that Spencer will play again, though not positive that it will be in 2007.  As much as I want to see the Big Nasty back at LT Week One of 2007, if his long-term health prospects were greatly improved by sitting out '07, it would clearly be the right decision to make.

Today's cuts:

Quinton Porter (QB)
Bradlee Van Pelt (QB)
Charlie Adams (WR)
Harry Williams (WR)
Thomas Johnson (DT)
Thomas Smith (DT)
Ben Steele (TE)
Derrick Roberson (CB)

Much to Tim's chagrin, the highly-publicized (at least here at BRB) punt-off between Matt Turk and Chad Stanley drags on another day, as coaches are not able to make a call as of yet.  As much as Stanley killed me last season, he was pretty good for a few years before that, and I hereby go on the record in support of Stanley, if only because it may be the final straw required to send my co-blogger off to Cypress Creek, if only for a weekend.

BVP & Harry (balls) Williams cut....who would've seen it coming?

That Aggie allegiance is much stronger than I suspected....because no way Charlie Adams should be cut before Bethel Johnson.  If you believe otherwise, just try the following exercise.  Name a standout play for each of them in the preseason, other than earning the nickname BJ.

I am pretty surprised by the cut of the other TJ at DT.  He played pretty damn well against Arizona.

Prediction:  Adams & TJ get picked up by other teams.....and Stanley hires Tonya Harding's ex-husband to take out Turk's knees.  But don't fret Tim....Stanley will fail at taking out Turk, much like all other tasks he has attempted in the past 18 months.

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

Agreed
on BJ v. Charlie.  I liked Charlie, a lot actually.  Not a fan of the Thomas Johnson cut, either, but I guess someone had to go from that group.

Also
I would be shocked if you DIDN'T support Stanley, Scott.  I mean, he was one of Casserly's guys.

Son Of A...
How Stanley wasn't one of the first cuts is beyond me.  I'm disturbingly close to becoming fixated on this issue.

In a related story, too bad that Charlie Adams didn't make the team.  I wonder if the early dismissal is simply Kubes' way of trying to let him catch on with a team ASAP?  If not, here's to hoping he gets signed to the practice squad.

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