Happy Belated Birthday fella. One of the good guys.

So disappointing. I expected more from a Klingon.

And by the same metric, simply being a fan is a "homer." Of course, there are polyanna types, but when hoping for best plausible outcomes is grouped in with irrational optimism, one's sense of "reason" and "facts" is just as distorted as what is abjured.

What's worse, you know that if Elam is on the field doing the exact same thing, the flag is coming out every time.

Excellent explanation. The narrative I have more often heard is that MLB is the qb of the defense and it is too much to throw at a rookie. However, I think your rationale is quite persuasive.

No.

I believe he has to be on the Texans' roster through week 6. I read that somewhere, in any event.

I understand things are in flux, but thanks for the warning I guess. I am not going to assume that signing a veteran RT means Anderson is the fella who goes to make room. Maybe that's how it is. His versatility across the IOL and youth make him more attractive to me than some of the veteran depth who might have trade value.

I am pleasantly surprised they kept Alec Anderson. I was afraid they were going to be knuckleheads and cut Anderson, whilst keeping Quessenberry. Ferguson is the LS. They cut him in order to keep Shorter or Spector on the roster. Tomorrow they both go on IR and Ferguson comes back.

I love Kincaid, but those all seem plausible. Some folks are sleeping on Cook. That negative is going to get annoying, though. The D better be opportunistic and cause turnovers, because that's the only way to balance out the weakness.

It opens up a spot for another player somehow, no?

Ah, well, I suppose I could have worded that better. Most folks would just figure that the last sentence referred to the subject of the thread, which would be correct about intention, but not grammar. Antecedents are tricky sometimes.

His dad's a professional arm wrestler with something like 17 world titles. I remember an ESPN feature on him before the draft. I was hoping we'd pick him up late.

30 yr old downhill runstuffing MLB cut by the Texans. Beane had interest in him a few years back as a free agent. Apparently he is pals with Poyer and Hyde. These are his numbers from last year: 124 tackles, 3 sacks, 7 TFL, 7 QB hits, 2 INT I pulled all that from what others said in another thread. Most feel he would be at least a solid floor to a position that currently is causing a lot of angst.

The guys we got now are comfortably bad. They need to upgrade if they can and I think they will.

You invite a hippie over to play qb and everyone starts getting petulant . . . and the munchies.

I agree, but I liked him better when I thought his name was Van Denmark.

I suppose wit is idiosyncratic. Guffaw away if that pleases you.

Upthread, someone proposed that the Texans might want a veteran presence to nurture their first round pick. It wasn't utterly ridiculous, though I agree that trading Mills would be a foolish act. Your response, however, implies that what was intended mostly as a joke on my part is simply an asinine assertion. I'll try to remember that you disfavor frivolity next time I consider answering anything you post.

Don't give them any ideas.

Yes, but we are discussing what would be best for us, not what is rational for the Texans.

There's a thread in the Off the Wall forum for "phrases you hate." We've identified a number of them. Indeed, I may have to imbibe a Guinness or two to mollify the soul and forestall an attack of misanthropic exasperation.

Disappointing, just like his play.

Colloquial association with gender specific anatomy.
