Whether anyone likes it or not this game is exactly what Casario wanted from this team. Compete with old guys with the hopes they would begin to break down and be respectable but lose.


You're probably right, but I doubt he thought Tyrod would compete at the level he did for 6 quarters. The guy made a quick decision every time, and it was the right one almost every time. He played a nearly perfect half against one of the best dlines in the league. Hats off to him, hopefully we can maybe spoil some teams play off hopes later in the season .

They just said hamstring….I think those can vary in severity / heal time quite a bit.

I've decided that the Davis Mills draft pick was a masterstroke to ensure the Texans tank.

David Culley clearly favors an offense where he has a mobile QB that can exploit a series of fakes and misdirections. Culley was hired 4 months before the NFL daft, so he and Caserio should have definitely discussed what type of QB fits his system. They even signed Tyrod before the draft, who looks like an ideal fit for this system; however, Tyrod has shown repeatedly in his career that he is 1) an effective player when healthy and 2) unable to stay consistently healthy.

So Caserio then drafts Mills, who is an inaccurate statue of a QB, to play as Tyrod's back up...in no way does this align philosophically with his HC.

Seems like the only logical choice is that Mills was drafted to make sure we lose. Its unclear why a competent GM would want to draft a player like Mills when they had a plan to run this type of offense.

I think it was more of a thing where they could possibly develop Mills and eventually move him for some high picks. Cheap backup in the meantime.

I truly do not believe that Culley has a system. This offense belongs to Tim and Pep.

No Nico or Tyrod = more Mark Ingram and Brandin Cooks hopefully

I just hope we're not tanking for Rattler. Would rather have a Thibodeaux, Stingley, or Leal

one positive for Caserio...

glad he didn't trade Watson to Miami for something involving Tua.

Tua just doesn't look good and now he's hurt

I'm really hoping they realize we're not in a position to draft a QB no1 overall. And in fact, drafting a QB no1 rarely translates to becoming a winning team. They should stack picks and build the line of scrimmage on both sides and then expand out from there.

It seems very similar to what he ran with Baltimore though
SpicyAg

Totally agree. Would love to build a D-line similar to Washington.

He didn't "run" anything in Baltimore, he was the passing game coordinator, and Baltimore isn't known for their passing game lately.

The rookie is starting on Thursday. Get your waiver wire bids in for the Carolina defense now. Jeff Driskel is now just a heartbeat away. Who is the emergency 3rd qb? Toro?

Caserio comes from the Belichick school of paranoia. Would not surprise me if he informed everyone in the building that any unauthorized social media posts about the team will have serious repercussions.

I am sure Easterby and Caserio are tapping phones and computers. No more leaks from Bilbo.

If he truly works for the Texans, he's one of the dumbest people I've ever encountered for not realizing how very very quickly that kind of posting gets you fired.

Careful with the BilBo talk - he'll come out of the woodwork and scold you on how wrong you are.

Really late to the convo, but a lot of 1st round QBs really suck and most are average. Low chance you get your franchise QB. Since 2011...

  • Dwayne Haskins
  • Josh Rosen
  • Mitch Trubisky
  • Carson Wentz
  • Paxton Lynch
  • Marcus Mariota
  • Blake Bortles
  • Johnny Manziel
  • Teddy Bridgewater
  • EJ Manuel
  • Robert Griffin
  • Jake Locker
  • Blaine Gabbert
  • Christian Ponder

The only worse odds are trying to get one somewhere else . . .

I know Texags has a hard-on against him because he went to Baylor, but RG3 does not belong on this list at all. His issue was not talent but coming back too quickly from an injury (recall that being Shanahan's doing, but could be wrong). His rookie season was stellar.

I'd argue Bridgewater doesn't belong on that list either. Injuries derailed what would have been a very solid career.
