Sounds like Fido might be learning how to be a receiver, not just a blocking TE.

Many new players mentioned today
http://m.houstontexans.com/s/30862/e...b-7fbef57c751b

Points out a few concerns
http://www.scout.com/nfl/texans/stor...ay-six-rundown

After watching some LB Brian Peters highlights, and reading about how bad our TE situation currently, I think we should maybe give him some reps at TE. He looks like he has great hands, is very physical, and has good size at 6'4" 250.

Yeah, sounds like TE is a big question right now.

A few thoughts from Sunday, day 7 practice.
http://www.houstonchronicle.com/spor...mp-9128021.php

Everyone toward cooler practice in San Fran

So, where do the Texans get their talent? Besides using the draft, signing UDFA's, FA's and other means, currently, with the expanded roster, the leading schools are:

Michigan State (4): ILB Max Bullough, S Kurtis Drummond, DE Joel Heath, WR Keith Mumphery

Oregon (4): CB Terrance Mitchell, T Matt Pierson, SAF Eddie Pleasant, OLB Tony Washington Jr.

Arizona State (3): DB Robert Nelson, QB Brock Osweiler, WR Jaelen Strong

Clemson (3): C Dalton Freeman, WR DeAndre Hopkins, DT D.J. Reader

Miami (3): RB Lamar Miller, DT Vince Wilfork, DE Ufomba Kamalu

South Carolina (3): DB Antonio Allen, LB Jadeveon Clowney, CB Johnathan Joseph

Many schools with 2 representatives. Oddly, just six Texas schools on the expanded roster and two of those are from Texas-El Paso (FS Quentin Demps, TE Eric Tomlinson)

Things have changed since the Colorado State pipeline days..... :p

The Texans are having troubles at TE? You don't say! I seem to recall someone bringing that up around draft time and being told how it wasn't a priority.

Hopefully we are usually getting best player at our draft number, but does seem we target certain positions.

For TE, the UDFA Steve Anderson, seems to be a little undersized but catching well. Both Fido and Griffin seem to be healthy and working on pass catching, so we shall see. Seems RB and WR were the priority, so maybe that and new QB will help overall offense.

First look this coming up Sunday.

For Monday, camp day 8, some updates.

This covers lots of nicks, health updates.

Would have liked to be a fly on the wall when Randy Moss spoke to the team..... Had Hard Knocks been here, they surely would've covered it....

Thurs Aug 18, joint workout in pads with Saints

See Texans will play on synthetic turf this year as used by about one-third of league now.

Nice thing about all these reviews is they put a different emphasis on what they cover each day.
