UDFA's

[nunusguy]

I remember Maehl from his play at Oregon last year. Real hustle guy with outstanding work ethic, plus he's got very good hands. Real "blue-collar" type. I don't see any history as a punt or kickoff return guy which would help him ? With all of the UDFA WRs they signed, maybe they're not going to try to retain Jacobey ?

Don't read anything into the UDFA signing as to who will be resigned or not. Every year they load up at WR so the QBs can get there work in. Otherwise the WRs would be dead long before the QBs had gotten enough work.

They need bodies for camp at WR and FB so they can practice all formations with 3 different teams of players, plus they have drills to run.

They do that every year. Hopefully one or two of them impresses enough to be on the roster or practice squad.

The Texans have agreed to contract terms with 18 undrafted free agents, including receiver Terrence Toliver, the Hempstead native who played at LSU and was voted the Most Valuable Offensive Player in this year's Cotton Bowl.

NFL teams were able to negotiate with undrafted free agents on Monday, but they couldn't sign until today. The Texans are in the process of signing their undrafted free agents.

Toliver, 6-5, 203, caught five passes for 112 passes and three touchdowns in LSU's 41-24 victory over Texas A&M in the Cotton Bowl.

The Texans agreed with two other receivers, Lestar Jean (Florida Atlantic) and Jeff Maehl (Oregon).

Other offensive players agreeing to terms were fullback Justin Bartlett (Montana-Carroll), guard Howard Bargieri (Rutgers), fullback Zac Pauga (Colorado State), tackle Peter Hendrickson (Tulane) and tackle Darius Morris (Temple).

The Texans also agreed with nine defensive players: linebacker Mister Alexander (Florida State), linebacker Bryan Braman (West Texas A&M), linebacker Steve Friday (Virginia Tech), end Zane Parr (Virginia), end John Graves (Virginia Tech), cornerback Darian Hagan (California), cornerback Jason Teague (TCU), safety Maurice Rolle (Louisiana-Lafayette) and tackle Adrian Taylor (Oklahoma).

The Texans also agreed with punter Brett Hartmann (Central Michigan).

Jeff "You've got" Maehl is a Kevin Walters "possession" type. Or maybe more like a Wayne Chrebet "possession" type.

For return guys, why not that guy they drafted last year who got IR'd all season?

And the 6-5 "immovable" guy, remember we need nose tackles now in the 3-4. Their job is to be immovable.

If these idiots could find a Wayne Chrebet clone I would be ecstatic. That guy was a very, very good football player.
