That sucks !
Clearly Duane is better than Butler, that's why he's starting, but how much difference is there between the 2 ? I dunno, how much of a drop off will there be ?

Duane Brown Suspended: Texans Re-Sign Ephraim Salaam

What is in that Houston water? According to multiple sources on twitter, Duane Brown has tested positive for a banned substance and has elected not to appeal. Therefore, his four game suspension begins immediately.

So, Rashod Butler gets the first start of his NFL career this Sunday against Dallas and Demarcus Ware. Fortunately, it is a home game and that should limit anxious mistakes like false starts. Also, unlike in a road game, he should be able to hear Matt Schaub’s snap count, which will mitigate Ware’s ability to beat him off the snap. I’m actually very high on Butler.

Brown, you freakin MORON. We need you out there, man!

Great, now this team is going to have a stigma. I don't want that cloud of bullshit around this team.

What happened with that experiment the Texans were going to do with Charles Spencer, the 3rd round pick the same year they got Winston? If he has recuperated, might he not be a candidate for OLT? Just wondering. Who else would there be on the FA market that wouldn't be just a piece of meat?

I hope Rashad Butler will be up for this game against Dallas. What about flipping Winston over to the left and letting Butler take the easier ORT for the benefit of better protection for Matt's blind side?
