Could be a product of having the draft before FA. Also, while he looked good @ the senior bowl, he was lost when he started going against vets.

I saw Keo do a few good things, but also a few bad things. There was the lockout dealie that effected all the rookies. Keo, I think, perhaps may have been one of those effected most. I didn't re-watch the Viking game but from what people are saying, he kinda stunk it up. Keo seems very raw and sometimes coaches will let a guy hang around if they think they can coach him up and he shows a willing attitude....

Keo can't tackle. It's tough to be an in the box safety when you can't tackle.

Ya, I saw him whiff on a sack but he's credited with 3 tackles in the preseason games. I think what you mean is "he's not a good tackler". Perhaps that can be corrected....

I didn't want to start a new thread, so I will post this here. Roc Carmichael was finally placed on IR and Tim Bulman was resigned.

So the team has finally addressed the extra CB on the roster and gotten the team back to normal numbers of guys at each position.

HUGE blow to the Oline:

@McClain_on_NFL: Texans placed OT Rashad Butler on IR. Brought up Andrew Gardner from P squad. Signed Cody Wallace 2 P sqd.

@McClain_on_NFL: Butler, top reserve at both OT spots, suffered torn triceps. That's a blow to O line.

Would "assume" it happened during a workout period.

Yes that is a huge blow to the depth at OT.

But remember, although not ideal, Wade Smith has played OT in the NFL, and in a game time pinch might be an option at OT.
