Look out for this potential signing- Jonathan Owens, S Bio: 27, 5’11, Missouri West, undrafted and signed by the Texans in 2021 for a two year, $1.2M contract 2022 Stats: 17 game, 125 tackles, 1 sack, 4 passes defended. Keep or Release: Keep. Owens played the third most defensive snaps behind Christian Kirksey and Jalen Pitre. The husband to Olympic gold medalist Simone Biles also was second on the team in tackles. He was one of the most valuable players on the defense at just above $1M and would be inclined to sign a negotiated contract to stay in Houston. Whoever takes over for the defense will have a huge say, but at the right price Owens should stay. https://www.battleredblog.com/2023/1/24/23556551/houston-texans-2022-free-agent-evaluation

I would prefer he went. Not because I give a ***** about the pro bowl, but it seems like a good opportunity to rub elbows with other players and sell our program.

Von Miller has effusive praise for the cafeteria workers.

Lack of development in line that was highly invested in

Clearly some sort of disconnect with how aggressively Beane went after pass catching backs- from McKissic to Cook and Hines- and then their eventual use. You could hear some annoyance from Beane yesterday about the Hines situation.

A new hire would certainly run a similar scheme, that's McD's style, he's not all of a sudden going 3-4. Seems like the play calling is more of the issue- and a lack of aggressiveness.

QB "talent" for me is always hard to quantify. How would you compare Josh vs. Brady talent wise?

How does Josh's athleticism compare to Tom Brady?

Josh Allen is good. I don't want to hear anything beyond that until he at least wins the conference. Not many "elite" QB's go 6 six years in without at least winning the conference. We can make all the excuses we want but an elite big money QB needs to elevate those around him. How are our current weapons and offensive line any different than last years playoffs when Josh was other worldly? I'm done giving a rat's ass about hurdles or backyard circus plays. Learn how to run an efficient on-schedule offense like the one that just ran us out of our own barn with 3 backup lineman and a hobbled center. This far into a career I have my doubts much will change. I think we're the Yankees. Racking up "exciting" regular season wins with the long ball. But when things get tight in the postseason the high-variance approach isn't suited to make a run.

Yes he has

Emotion can cut both ways. Hope they handle it right.

Then use some mobility or something. The approach is horrid

And it’s not only the individual players, but the communication in a loud and hostile playoff environment. Should be really tough on them

McD said he wasn't ruling anyone out.

I think we might see more of a "NASCAR" package this week with Groot, Boogie and Shaq inside. Get after Joe, they can run anyways.
