    ok i don’t know why but this is racist. 

    Think it’s the hard ‘d’ at the end…

    No idea if this is the case with Tyrese or not, but there are a lot of guys who are great players in high school but are just not that into the sport who get sick of it mid-college and just go through the motions. I was friends with a guy in high school who played football at SMU just prior to the death penalty who was that way, and knew a couple of OLineman at UT who were the same. One of the latter was an all-American OT in high school who had quit the team and was working at the Posse by his junior year. Some guys just take awhile to realize that even though they’re good at something, they just don’t like it enough to put in the time it takes to stay good.

    Awwwwwwwwwwww, so close for Demeco:

    Coach of the Year 1st place voting:

    • Kevin Stefanski: 21
    • DeMeco Ryans: 20
    • Dan Campbell: 3
    • Kyle Shanahan: 3
    • John Harbaugh: 2
    • Sean McVay: 1

     

    Can’t believe Steichen at Indy didn’t get any votes, and how the fuck does Shanahan get any with that fucking roster?

    I hope they put in Saban's contract that he has to wear the mascot head at the end of the show. 

    I think he should have to wear a Corso head while Corso puts on the mascot head…

    Or resign our own DE that had 12.5 sacks last season.

    Yeah if the projections of Greenard’s next contract coming at the $16-$18MM range are realistic we’re better off extending him. Agree with your upstream post that Anderson needs a pocket collapser next to him more than opposite him….

    A couple of senior bowl risers who'd make sense for Houston at #23 if they're still on the board; Missouri DL Darius Robinson, and Toledo CB Quinyon Mitchell

    I like DeJean, Mims (or other physically gifted OTs getting pushed down to #23 due to the strength of the OT class), Robinson, and Mitchell. #23 seems like it's too late to get the first wave of WRs, and too early for the late first/early second types (might be better off drafting a WR in the 2nd like Malachi Corley, if he's there). Maybe if they love one of those WRs (Coleman, Worthy, Mitchell, Wilson, Franklin, etc), they go ahead and take him, but I'd bet they have others (like the four I mentioned above) ahead of those guys

    Some good corners seem to be falling into the middle of the 2nd round, maybe one of those could drop to us?

    This class is loaded at interior OL, but it's tough to see us using a premium pick on one after taking Suggs in the 2nd last year

    I can’t say I watched many Toledo games, but scouts love Mitchell; a lot of people think if he played at tOSU/Michigan he’d be a top-10 lock…

    I read recently that the United States crossed a threshold recently.  We now use the majority (50% + 1) of all tennis balls for things other than tennis.  Mainly for dog play and to put on the back legs of medically issued walkers.  Which is weird to me that we can't figure out how to get hospital tables and hospital walkers to work without fucking sporting equipment.  You'd think we'd have jumped on that innovation opportunity decades ago.  But nope, the fucking tables don't move right and we still buy tennis balls for our aging parent's walkers.  

    I actually walked into a bank branch again the other day just  to see what it was like in there now and to cash some class-action check my wife got from Apple.  I had the deposit slip all filled out from the wife and I was gonna grab a $10 bill to have some baller walking around money on me.  I was the only human customer inside the branch.  And it took her probably a solid 7 minutes to complete the transaction.  I had to use my debit card and PIN (which I can never remember).  Show my ID to prove that I was JTWROS on my wife's account (we've been banking there for 20 fucking years).  And then she had to get a manager with a key to open up the fucking cash drawer.  For a $92 deposit and $10 cash back........7 minutes.  In a $35/ft NNN building with 6 employees earning on average $75,000/year.  Obviously I'll use the ATM auto deposit or the app next time, but I hadn't been inside this particular branch in a long while.  I was just stunned.  I mean good for her for making a nice living doing absolutely nothing, but it gets passed down to me eventually in higher fees on my HELOC.  What in the fuck are we still doing opening up urban bank branches?  

    Kind of like the worst service you’ll ever get in a restaurant is mid-afternoon when nobody’s there….

    i’d good with this. Sign a cheaper fa or draft one 

    What in the Texans substantial TE draft history encourages you on the latter?

    EDIT - Don’t get me wrong, I’d love to save the probably $12MM yearly Schultz is probably going to cost I just don’t see anyone in the FA market who is as reliable a pass catcher and I don’t want CJ to have to be in the position of being perfect (even though he can be) because he doesn’t have many dudes who can get open.

    Some NFL Draft projections for TSweat have him selected in Rd2 or early Rd3. 

    NFL Combine weight and workouts are gonna be important -- guess there's some frustation with how heavy TSweat currently is.  

    Teams have always been leery of a guy that young who’s closer to 400 pounds than 300; track record of those guys (even the athletic ones) is that they’re 2-down guys their entire career and half of them eat their way out of the league in 4-5 years. Obviously T is insanely athletic for such a big guy and he’s just fucking thick, but getting into the 340s by his Pro Day would probably help his draft position. He should fare really well for his size in the agility drills…

    It's what I'm rooting for. I'm an incredibly petty person who enjoys rooting for former head coaches from Texas to fail. Or at least not to exceed whatever accomplishments they earned at Texas. I get a certain amount of pleasure from it. Chris Beard is a personal nightmare, since some kind of meltdown is about the only way I foresee his career going sideways. 

    100% this
