Default Training camp 2014 news

Training camp is cranking up. Won't be long before we are watching pre-season games. AJ is back and sounds like he's ready to go. Jonathan Joseph is active after missing off season workouts while recovering from toe surgery.

Day 1 pics.

Default OLB Depth?

From the chronic:
http://blog.chron.com/ultimatetexans...roves-sidbury/


The Texans worked out outside linebackers on Saturday and signed two veterans, Quentin Groves and Lawrence Sidbury.

Groves, Jacksonville’s second-round pick in 2008, is playing with his fourth team. Groves (6-3, 265) played two years for Jacksonville, two for Oakland, one for Arizona and last season for Cleveland.

Sidbury (6-2, 266) was Atlanta’s fourth-round pick in 2009. He played four seasons for the Falcons and spent last season with Indianapolis.

Groves seems to have been a bust wherever he's gone. I'm presuming these are Romeo's choices more than Smith or O'Brien because Romeo knows best who can fit his defense.

IIRC, Groves had a lot of sacks in college which was why he was drafted so high.

Wow. After watching that clip I'm about 100% more excited about the coming season.

John Harris had a a training camp report , this was no. 9 on Clowney:

"It was the first opportunity for the Houston public to see Jadeveon Clowney up close. He didn't disappoint.

On his first rep during 9-on-7, he drove TE Ryan Griffin back into the ball closing down an open hole.

On the second, he ran down the RB from behind.

On the third, he was so fast off the ball that he nearly created another 2013 Outback Bowl moment, although he pulled off on the hit on RB..."

Ok, guys were in pads , still early, lots of positives .

From pictures, Looks like at practice the Texans added some more bleachers and perhaps cut down number of free tickets to a practice? hope so

more changes : couple minor 90 man roster changes today

Added
They signed on Tuesday Tim Cornett, 6'0", 209, 4.4 in 40, over 1200 rushing yds last two yrs. a undrafted rookie out of UNLV, he was UDFA to Arizona but they waived him. Apparently needed since Arian has been unable to practice for a few days.

Also Added OL Mike Farrell, 6'6", 303 lbs, out of Penn State in 2013 I believe.

Waived
Ricky Sapp , OLB, who just coulldn't seem to get healthy all this preseason. We had brought in the two other OLB a couple days ago, Groves and Sidbury.

Seems to me the Texans will have more depth on their final 53 man roster this year than last year, partly because the 25 or so first year guys who made squad last year will now be in second year.
