Any uproar from the Packers player hitting Watson?

How about the punches thrown at our OL?

This is football, yall need to realize that the first time someone can hit a person in a different color jersey, they might let loose a little. These are all non-stories, move on

Instincts? BS! Standing over the guy is instinct, then go ahead and cut him yesterday! Not only can't he follow the rules of the practice his "instincts" are going to give the offense a first down.

Is this sarcasm?

Wasn't a cheap shot..

Instincts take over.. we can agree to disagree.

You can't sell that to me, or to the court of public opinion.


If you really are part of the Texans organization, you are part of the problem.

The season hasn't even started and some of yall have gone full ruhtard.

It's gonna be a long one I can already tell

If you like money, and I know you do, place a wager on Texans win total Unders. Going to be a rough season.

Is this sarcasm as well? My gosh, some of y'all ore completely off the rails.

Any word on McCarron? If he can't go on Thursday, I hope that doesn't mean Watson has to play longer than scheduled (if he was even going to play at all). But I also don't see a big benefit in Joe Webb playing all 60 mins.

The benefit of Webb playing means Watson can't get hurt

What's amazing to me is that we are going into year 3 with Watson. For a team and fan base that yearned for a franchise QB for close to 15 years and now has one heading into his prime, it's crazy how little buzz they have. This season should be one of the most anticipated ever, and yet no one feels that way. Including me. I guess that's indicative of how little faith this city has in the front office and coaching staff. Sad but I can't say unfounded.

Agreed - but it doesn't help the other guys trying to make the team...

And if Webb gets hurt, then what?

The fact that we didn't see an emergency signing of a QB last night makes me hopeful that McCarron will be able to play some.

Maybe because most folks know this season is going to mediocre at best.

I think most of the "hardcore" football fans that follow off-season and such are really unhappy with the lack of improvement in the O-line and run game to take some pressure off the QB and keep Watson off his back. I know I am apprehensive and hope he makes it through the first half of the season without another injury.

People generally get hyped based on moves or events made in the offseason. The Texans did basically nothing in free agency and the first round pick is from a small school, so it's hard to get excited about the team improving much. Doesn't mean they won't, but pretty easy to see why fans wouldn't expect them to improve much.

But NRG will still be sold out every week

Like I said, I agree. But we've went into virtually every season since inception with this being the case. Can't recall a season in a long time where people were as down as right now. People were more fired up going into seasons with Schaub, Fitzpatrick, and Osweiler.

And I'm guilty of it too. I'm a season ticket holder and i've listed every game for sale. If I can move them, I won't go to a single game this year.

I've gone to a game a year the last three years or so and went to the playoff game vs Indy last year as well. It is a pretty fun day but for the cost and hassle for me driving from College Station it just isn't worth it. Now if they are doing great once the Aggie season is over I will probably get sucked in again and come to a late season home game but for now I have no intentions of making the day trip to watch underwhelming football in a decent football stadium.

Texans fans are smart.

they know that last season's success was heavily, heavily schedule-driven. The Texans played a slew of terrible teams.

the schedule is much more robust in 2019 --- facing much better QB's and coaches.

plus the fact that Andrew Luck seems to be back to his old self --- that's really bad news for Houston

The sellouts each week suggest otherwise.

Surprised we didn't pick up Weeden...

I'm not excited because this is basically the same team as last year and it's just not a dynamic team to watch. Not a high scoring offense, not a highlight play defense, just middle of the road.

My thoughts exactly but I hope we are both wrong.

I don't care if it's preseason, it's some semblance of football. The drought is over

Duke Johnson to Houston

That's a good pickup

Nice pick up and great pairing with Miller and whatever UFA they choose to plug in behind.

Team with no GM gets a productive back.

Now do the OLine.

Good pickup. Duke is on a cheap contract through the 2021 season. Miller is a UFA after this season, so maybe this is the succession planning. All without a GM!

Like the player, like bringing in another RB. However, a 4th that can turn into a 3rd feels like an overpay. Needed to be a 5th into a 4th or even a 6th.

I had to read over his wiki didn't know much about him. I think it is a great pickup if he can stay healthy and split time with another back. He seems like a real speedster and gets a good bit of receiving yards as well.

The U backfield

We are surrounding Watson with a lot of weapons. If only the O-line will give him time to use them...
