Take off your pants and jacket. It’s ZOMBIE time.
Back on Memorial day I went on a trip up to the East Coast. The focal point of it was going to see The Gaslight Anthem play the ‘59 Sound in its entirety. This was my favorite band until they broke up...sort of. They mutually went on hiatus. There hasn’t been any new music from this group aside from side projects the drummer has smashed away on and Brian Fallon’s pretty good folksy/Americana songs. Now I don’t know what that means,...
The Texans began experimenting with Kareem Jackson at safety during the offseason program as the team explored all options in trying to replace Andre Hal. Jackson performed so well at the position that he will play the position full time at training camp, John McClain of the Houston Chronicle reports. Jackson, 30, has practiced at [more]
The Texans did something they should have done two years ago. It’s better late than never.
WEEE-WOOOO. BREAKING NEWS.
I was filling myself up on branch chain amino acids from some vegan chocolate thing my roommate was given to by his mother and wasting my life scrolling waiting for them to kick in before going to the gym and getting strong and listening to the new Freddie Gibbs album when I saw these two tweets, these two life changing, game breaking, ocean splitting, tectonic plate...
I got a bucket of tea leaves, a handful of palms, and some sooths to say.
Let’s keep the conversation going. This time we want to talk about the Texans’ expected depth chart for the 2018 regular season. Let’s fill out the following offensive, defensive, and special teams positions.
Offense: LT, LG, C, RG, RT, TE1, TE2, WR1, WR2, WR3, QB, RB1, RB2
Defense: LE, NT, RE, LOLB, LILB, RILB, ROLB, CB1, CB2, CB2, FS, SS, S3
Special Teams: KR, PR
Here’s our best guesses.

For this week’s group think Mike asked two questions that I am scrapping together like that baby head attached to an octopus in Toy Story. The two questions are very simple.

Devin Hester, Matthew Slater, Bill Bates and Steve Tasker are among the NFL players who established themselves as standout special teams players. Chris Thompson wants to do the same with the Texans. The Texans list Thompson as a receiver on their roster. In truth, he’s more of a special teams player. He played 99 snaps [more]

With training camp still a month away, the Texans are officially in the dog days of summer. This allows them to tweak the roster in preparation for the upcoming season. Yesterday, the Texans claimed second-year OT Roderick Johnson off of waivers and released OT Kendall Calhoun from the roster.

If J.J. Watt and Jadeveon Clowney stay healthy this season, the Texans defense should return to being a dominant unit. Houston dropped from No. 1 overall in total defense in 2016 to 20th last year. Watt has played only eight games combined the past two seasons, making 1.5 sacks. Watt’s 2017 season ended with a [more]
It was just a rumor, but let’s take it a step further.
As Weston posted earlier today, your Houston Texans were reportedly in talks, at some point earlier this offseason, with the New England Patriots about acquiring Rob Gronkowski in trade. We have no idea how far along those discussions got; it’s quite possible they never advanced beyond a preliminary stage. Nevertheless, as a petty way to mine for content a thought exercise, I want to know what you, if you were playing the role of...
Total values. Dead money. Annual Salary. If you are into that sort of thing. Last week, the Houston Texans announced they had extended the contract of inside linebacker Benardrick McKinney for an additional five years. The run game clubbing, quarterback devouring blitzer is a very good football player, so it makes total sense for him to stay in Houston even after his rookie deal is completed. What wasn’t announced were the contract details. How much will McKinney be paid this year? How...
The Texans' quarterback was a revelation as a rookie -- until a torn ACL cut his season short. Here is why you should put the small sample size aside and take him ahead of all other QBs.

The Texans supposedly discussed a possible Gronkowski trade because Bill O’Brien used to coach in New England.
The Texans have had terrible tight ends since Bill O’Brien became the head coach of the Houston Texans. This upcoming season, he’s going to have another shoddy group. Ryan Griffin can’t block or do much more than run into the flat for four yards on 3rd and 7. Stephen Anderson is a big target but also can’t block; he has been a disappointment in the red zone. Jordan Akins...

Ow! This is a lukewarm take.
One of the few things I thought was certain entering this offseason was that the Texans would extend Jadeveon Clowney. This hasn’t happened yet. Clowney got his knee cleaned up at the conclusion of the 2017 season. He hasn’t participated in football-related activities thus far; he was missing during OTAs and the mandatory mini-camp. I happen to think that Clowney not playing is better than him kind of playing this time of year. His health for the 2018 season...
