    I'm horribly claustrophobic.  I can't sit in the back seat in most cars, even big SUVs.  Usually, if I can't sit in the front, I can't go.  I hate it, absolutely hate it, but that's the miserable reality in which I live.  

    Isn’t claustrophia worse with less room around you?

    If it takes 42 and the 3rd to move into the 20’s to take a falling star, sure do it.

    I didn’t love moving back. 6 QBs could go before pick 23. Probably at least 3 if not 4 WRs will be gone. That’s 10 picks on positions the Texans don’t need. That’s a damn good pool of 13 prospects. There should be some really good corners and DL that fall.  They really need the 2025 pick to be in the 30’s to get value back. 

    We’ll have to agree to disagree on how badly the WR room needed an upgrade….

  3. It would be the same thing as drafting Murphy with our original 1st rounder and trading our original 2nd rounder for Diggs, which I think anyone would be fine with.

    You get the bird in the hand of having Diggs (which means we don’t have to draft a WR) already, and if Murphy is there, great; if not, you have two 2nd rounders…

  4. FWIW, according to the value chart our 3rd rounder would be able to upgrade our higher 2nd round pick to #29 (Detroit). Both of our 2nd round picks would get us to #22 (Philadelphia). If somehow Byron Murphy slid to the latter position I would be all over that but (a) I’m biased and (b) he isn’t going to slide to 22…

    Exactly. HTown kid coming off of winning at the highest level previously. The Texans needed something to get people excited, but chose Mario fucking Williams instead. 

    I know he wasn't going to have some Tom Brady esque career playing under Jeff fucking Fisher. 

    If Vincent had come to the city where he grew up and all his homies lived his career wouldn’t have lasted as long as it did. Vince had/has some personal demons, Jeff Fisher wasn’t 100% responsible for what happened to him…

  6. Regardless of the draft I’d expect us to pick up a 2-down veteran DT between now and camp. Between post-draft cuts and trade possibilities there should be some solid (not spectacular) options out there. Might see some movement with one of the remaining FA safeties if we don’t pick one up Day 2/4th round….

    I've seen Mike Sainristil mocked to Houston a few times recently, and it's worth noting that he's an old prospect, and Houston has shied away from drafting older players high the past few years 

     

    Here's the ages of the top nickel corner types. Rakestraw and Phillips have both visited

    Ennis Rakestraw Jr- 21.9

    Max Melton- 22.0

    Andru Phillips- 22.4

    Renardo Green- 23.5

    Mike Sainristil- 23.6

    Think one thing that works in his favor is that he only started playing DB as a Junior. IIRC he was projected to be a mid Day 3 selection last year, so coming back to up his draft stock to mid/high 2nd round was definitely the right move. I love the way the guy plays, though I’d be happy with Tampa/Rakestraw as well…

    Pretty sure CDC said Fair Park and Dallas PD want the game to remain at 11am for crowd control. 

    As long as Fair Park starts making an effort to keep the post-halftime bum rush slightly more orderly than the evacuation of Saigon, they can kick that fucker off at 6AM for all I care…

    Night after in AA will not be fun win or lose. It’s a big bummer from a fan experience that it’s not a night game because night games at the big house are legendary, but it was always a big noon game and they don’t give a shit about the day of experience for fans. 

    Im cooking some stuff up that should be pretty fun. 

    Looking forward to it man; last year in Tuscaloosa was a blast…

    If anybody else is staying in Chicago versus Detroit, consider hitting up Wrigley on Friday or Sunday, Cubs host the Yankees.  Will be wild to my childhood brain to see those two teams on the same field in person.  

    The Cubs game the day before we played Notre Dame up there last time was epic. Probably 10K people in burnt orange; got a March Grandiso and 3-4 rounds of the fight song from the organist, plus probably another 5-6 impromptu Texas Fight chants. 

    The next day, on the other hand…

    11am is perfect for us. A severely depleted Michigan team getting a not fully lubed up Big House. The entire reason this game moved was so Fox could have one of 2 last Texas games. The other will be Ohio State in 2025.

    Also plenty of time to get back to Detroit and get back home; looking forward to day before in AA, not so much night after….

  12. I’ve been wearing out Seger the last couple of months; Live Bullet was the first piece of music I ever owned (Xmas 8 track, 1976)…

    Why wouldn't Linklater still have it set in 1976?

    in my drunken state, this story is somehow appropriate….


    Ted Williams was interviewed one time by a sportswriter who served him up what he thought was an easy question - “Ted, if you played against these pansy pitchers of today, how high would your average have been?”

    ”Oh, probably about .270 or so”

    ”Wow, that’s all? Figured you’d think it would be way higher!”

    ”Well shit, I’m fucking 82 years old!”
