The neigh

Jesus the more I watch the more I cringe

Just scrolling random texags threads and I find this abomination. What in the …..

I was suspicious before it started seeing the Snoopy in the background but I didn't see that coming.

There was a whole bunch of WOW! in that video.

Anthony Richardson saw that video and his other shoulder spontaneously exploded.

Daniel Jones is a bum. lol

Dameon Pierce sucks lol

Those numbers on the front of the new jerseys aren't holding up too well.

Metchie looks legit. WR corp should be great this year if everyone stays healthy.

I think this game cements Metchie as one of the WR kept on the 53.....and pretty much seals that Dameon Pierce isn't going to be on the roster for the start of the season.

Agreed. And they gave Pierce every chance this pre-season.

I'm starting to drink some koolaid. The Texans look tough and seem to like contact on both sides of the ball. That will play over the course of a game and season.

I bought a Texans' hat this weekend. First time spending money on their merch in a decade.

Yeah, he just doesn't fit into this offense for some reason.

This is sad, but I agree. Pierce looked like a steal after his rookie year. For some reason he excelled in that system but not in this one. I do think his rookie year will be enough to get a team to sign him after he's released. If he goes to a different spot he could look like his old self. Seeing Cam Akers out there working his tail off for every yard is good to see, that guy wants to be on the field playing football. Jordan, Brooks, and Taylor are more deserving of a roster spot than Pierce.

Agree on Jordan, Brooks, and Taylor all deserving a spot ahead of Pierce at this pint! Also, Akers is due a break from injuries, so hopefully he'll turn out to be a steal for us this year.

The #Texans released WR Noah Brown, according to @AaronWilson_NFL

Cuts are starting to come in. A little surprised about Noah Brown, but he just couldn't get healthy, adn I'm guessing that punt drop in game 3 cost King his spot.

#Texans will place safety Brandon HIll on injured reserve with significant knee injury that will require surgery, ending his season @KPRC2 https://t.co/wozGvrSyP2

Brandon Hill isn't cut but going to the IR for the season

On #Texans releasing fullbacks Andrew Beck and Troy Hairston, they have lead blocker flexibility with Brevin Jordan and Cade Stover. This also allows extra room for more running backs, a deep position that includes Joe Mixon, Dameon Pierce, Cam Akers and Dare Ogunbowale @KPRC2 https://t.co/DmDneih1LV

— Aaron Wilson (@AaronWilson_NFL) August 27, 2024

Looks like we're keeping 4 backs, somehow including Dameon Pierce.

Pierce has value and will likely be traded or just kept. There may be situations where he is used. The young guys probably make the practice squad.

#Texans undrafted rookie running back British Brooks made the initial 53-man roster, per a league source, after impressive presason @KPRC2

Keeping a whole lot of RBs

The #Texans are placing LB Christian Harris on IR with a lingering calf injury, according to @AaronWilson_NFL

He will return when he is healthy. pic.twitter.com/PzRjWHaM8g

Did I miss that Christian Harris was hurt and he might start the season on the IR? Because I don't remember any mention of that

Ok, here's the official 53 man roster

Adding the images for those that don't twitter





So that's 5 RBs (got rid of both FBs) and 7 WRs to start the year

To me this says they're really impressed with Brooks, because it doesn't make sense to have 5 RB's on the roster when none of them are a fullback. I'm guessing Caserio tries to trade Pierce. I will say that I'm surprised he didn't trade Noah Brown, he had a nice season and there are several teams lacking not only depth at WR, but also some need quality starters. I think he could have moved Brown for a day 3 pick. With Autry suspended and Harris starting the season on IR that's two defenders who will see significant time not accounted for on the roster. Caserio's gotta be working the phones to move guys for future draft assets. I saw multiple reports that several teams were trying to trade for Metchie, I think it's way better to keep him. We have a really deep and high quality WR group, they can do a lot with them.

Wonder if Keenum is eligible for the PS.

I like the roster - it's a good hedge on injury prone positions at WR and RB.

Never mind, Keenum on IR so out the full season. My guess is they'll try to transition him to the next QB coach once JJ gets an OC job.

Isn't IR just for 4 games?

They can only designate two, I think, which are Harris and Hinish.

Stunned that DP made the team. Maybe they can teach him to block and be an athletic FB.

Does he play special teams? Can't say I've paid close attention.

I imagine he's getting another shot while holding Harris or Autry's roster spot.

Yes and we'd be foolish to think there won't be injuries at the RB level.

DP does have a kickoff return for a TD too… so perhaps there's the special team angle.

Best case he contributes, worst case we cut him midway through the season. Middle case is some other team has big rb injury and they trade a late round pick for him before the trade deadline.
