Players p2

Amobi Okoye- Very young man who still has plenty of time to develope into a good DT. He is strong and somewhat quick. I would keep him for a couple more years. If he does not show us anything I would cut him.

Travis Johnson- This guy was a trouble maker on our team. He has proved to be that his first year. Now he has gotten out of that trouble. He can be a decent DT but he has to get strong, get BETTER technique, and get faster. I would give him one more year, but I would not start him.

Anthony Weaver- WAY overrated. He just needs to be cut or traded for a 7th round pick. He cost us way to much money and we just got ripped off in the deal.

Tim Bulman- He is a guy who has alot of heart and loves the game for what it is. He tries his hardest and it shows. Just give him a year or two and he is going to be a beast.

Jesse Nading- I haven't seen enough of him to really say anything.

More later

Players in my opinion

TexanFanFromTheStart — Thu, 11 Dec 2008 01:38:25 -0000

Matt Schaub- I never really used to like this guy, but he has shown me that he can make the plays we need in tough situations. What I dont like about Schaub is that he makes mental mistakes and makes to many turnovers. I was a guy who was all for Sage, but now im starting to jump on the bandwagon for Schaub.

Steve Slaton- This guy is out missing piece at running back. I dont think we can find another back as good as him. He quick, agile, and hits the hole hard. Knows how to cover the ball when he hits the holes. Makes on cut and goes forward, and not a Reggie Bush who likes to dance.

Vonte Leach- A guy that will take your head off just to have fun. He wont let you touch his running back. He clears wholes and leads the way.

Andre Johnson- My favorite player right when we drafted him. He is the best receiver in the NFL and in my opinion he is the best of all time. He has amazing hands and ball control. Throwing to this guy is a for sure catch. He has the strenght to run your ass over and has the quickness to shake you out your shoes.

Kevin Walter- A white boy who has a pair of the best hands in the league. He has speed to outrun you. Runs his routes to perfection. One of the top number 2 receivers in the NFL.

Owen Danials- Among one of the best tight ends in the league. He dosent really have any juking abilities but he tries. He has progressed tremendously. Makes game changing catches.

Mario Williams- I was all for Vince Young, but Williams has proved me wrong. He is an amazing DE. Strong, athletic, quick, etc. He can swim you, bull rush you and justs plain knock you on your ass.

DeMeco Ryans- The top linebacker on our squad. He always knows where the ball is or is going to be. He is a run stopper and has decent pass coverage.

Xavier Adibi- He has shown to be a starter next year and the rest of this year. He is a tackling machine. He is kind of small but makes up for it with everything else.

Zac Diles- This guy is just a beast.

Dunta Robinson- He is doing great knowing that he came of a year long injury. He is a great corner. Just a quick as he was when he was healthy. Still making interceptions.

Ill talk about others when I get to it.

My Apologies

TexanFanFromTheStart — Sat, 06 Dec 2008 03:42:55 -0000

I was one of the Texans fans that would have rather had Sage Rosenfels be the starting quarterback. He proved to me that he will only be a back-up all his life. So I just wanted to apologize to all the Texan Fans out there. If anyone has missed my player ranking I started to do weeks ago I apologise for not doing that lately. I'm going to start this week. I just want to say that I think Anthony Weaver, Travis Johnson, Reeve, Faggins, Marlon Greenwood should all get cut. AND PLAY THE DAMN ROOKIE CORNER MOLDEN!!!!!!

GO TEXANS!!

I know I have never graded players before. I just wanted to do it this time.

Schaub- I admit I don't like him all that much, but he had a hell of a game besides the fumble. He made good decisions and found the open recievers. I have to give Schaub an "A"

Andre Johnson- What can I say about AJ? He is an absolute beast! Best player on offense. I give AJ an "A+"

Owen Danials- He has developed tremendously. He caught 2 touchdown passes WIDE open. He is on of the best Tight Ends in the league. "A"

O-line- To me they did great the first half and started slacking the second. What I didn't understand why did Saleem play some? O-line deserves a "B"

Steve Slaton- Amazing first carry! I thought he was gone. Great player overall. "B"

D-line- I dont know what to say about them. "B-"

LBs- Amazing group of guys besides Greenwood. He sucks. Overall "B+"

Secondary- They are just plain horrible. "F"

Dante Robinson- He looked decent. He just has to get back into his rythm. He missed some tackles and just tried to hard. "C"

I know I'm not an expert on this, so critisize me if you want. f
