Texans Release The Sooner Killer

In what I can only describe as a puzzling development, the Texans waived Fiesta Bowl Hero and Enemy of the Territory Jared Zabransky on Tuesday and signed WR Devon Aromashodu to the practice squad.  Granted, Zabransky wasn't on the 53 man roster, but I'm still a bit surprised that the Texans would cut their third QB.  I want to believe this is because Smithiak has determined that The Schaub is immortal and incapable of injury.  If not, I'm confused as to why the team would release a guy about whom Kubes had expressed fairly high enthusiasm and who seemed to be one bad cut or hit away from being the primary backup at the most important position on the field.  Zabransky didn't have a great preseason, but I thought he showed enough to warrant a spot on the practice squad.

Definitely scratching my head over this one, particularly because the team didn't bring in another QB to fill Zabransky's spot.  Smells like there might be more to the story here...

There's nothing more to this
Kubes apparently knew that in the event Schaub was injured such that a third QB was needed, Jared was not going to the that guy.  That does not surprise me in the least.  There are plenty of McCowns and Van Pelts out there to fill in in a pinch.  Aromashodu is a lanky, fast receiver was decent hands who may actually have a future with an NFL club.  Zabransky will never start an NFL game at QB.

There's no one named Scott that contributes to this site.
Looking forward to a day when being a Texans fan doesn't mean that April is the highlight of my season...

Is it too early to hook Jacoby Jones up with Darcy Maeda?

common event
I know nothing about Aromashodu. Perhaps he really has talent and will stick. I do know, though, it's a very common practice in the NFL to pick up for one week a castoff from the next opponent.

That'll work.
