OTA's

[Nconroe]

here is a list of 10 WR in camp based on Houston Texans website/roster, sorry if missed one
19 Iglesias, Juaquin WR 6-1 202 24 1 Oklahoma
89 Jackson, Jerrell WR 6-1 190 R Missouri
18 Jean, Lestar WR 6-3 205 24 R Florida Atlantic
80 Johnson, Andre WR 6-3 226 30 9 Miami (Fla.)
87 Jones, Dwight WR 6-4 225 R North Carolina
84 Louis, Mario WR 6-0 190 R Grambling State
15 Maehl, Jeff WR 6-0 178 23 R Oregon
82 Martin, Keshawn WR 5-11 189 R Michigan State
83 Walter, Kevin WR 6-3 217 30 9 Eastern Michigan
11 Posey, DeVier WR 6-2 210 R Ohio State
16 Holliday, Trindon KR 5-5 170 26 2 Louisiana State


Apparently no. 19 was noticeable as catching everything thrown his way, which is good, maybe they all look good right now.

so that means 11 WR in camp right now.

There are also quite a few DB in camp right now between CB and safety
36 Carmichael, Roc CB 5-10 184 23 R Virginia Tech
26 Harris, Brandon CB 5-10 195 22 R Miami (Fla.)
24 Joseph, Johnathan CB 5-11 191 28 6 South Carolina
21 McCain, Brice CB 5-9 180 25 3 Utah
22 McManis, Sherrick CB 5-11 193 24 2 Northwestern
25 Jackson, Kareem DB 5-10 188 24 2 Alabama
42 Williams, Torri DB 6-2 208 25 2 Purdue
31 Keo, Shiloh S 6-0 212 24 R Idaho
38 Manning, Danieal S 5-11 209 29 6 Abilene Christian
34 Marrow, Desmond S 6-3 204 R Toledo
35 Pleasant, Eddie S 5-11 213 R Oregon
27 Demps, Quintin SS 5-11 206 26 4 Texas-El Paso
33 Nolan, Troy SS 6-2 202 25 3 Arizona State
29 Quin, Glover SS 6-0 209 26 3 New Mexico

no 35, Pleasant got some praise from coaches Tuesday, but as UDFA gonna be hard to make 53 man roster, but perhaps the practice squad will be good

[Nconroe]

Then along DL have quite a bit of competition as well.

93 Crick, Jared DE 6-4 279 R Nebraska
96 Jamison, Tim DE 6-3 285 26 3 Michigan
68 Moore Jr., Rennie DE 6-4 270 R Clemson
97 Robertson, Tracy DE 6-4 275 R Baylor
94 Smith, Antonio DE 6-4 280 30 8 Oklahoma State
99 Watt, J.J. DE 6-5 288 23 R Wisconsin
95 Cody, Shaun DT 6-4 301 29 7 Southern California
91 Harris, Ra'Shon DT 6-5 300 25 2 Oregon
73 Fangupo, Loni NT 6-1 331 R Brigham Young
72 Hunter, David NT 6-2 295 R Houston
92 Mitchell, Earl NT 6-3 289 24 2 Arizona

Question could be will Fangupo become that big run stopper NT up the middle?

[Nconroe]

rounding out the defense side currently at Line backer positions:

54 Alexander, Mister ILB 6-3 242 23 R Florida State
56 Cushing, Brian ILB 6-3 248 25 3 Southern California
53 James, Bradie ILB 6-2 246 31 9 LSU
90 Louiseau, Shawn ILB 6-2 240 R Merrimack
51 Sharpton, Darryl ILB 5-11 230 24 2 Miami (Fla.)
49 Williams, Greg ILB 6-3 240 R Pittsburgh
52 Dobbins, Tim LB 6-1 245 29 6 Iowa State
97 Smith, Derrell LB 6-2 232 23 R Syracuse
98 Barwin, Connor OLB 6-4 264 25 3 Cincinnati
50 Braman, Bryan OLB 6-5 246 25 1 West Texas A&M
63 Bryant, Derrell OLB 6-3 245 R James Madison
64 Johnson, Delano OLB 6-4 237 R Bowie State
57 Nading, Jesse OLB 6-5 261 26 3 Colorado State
58 Reed, Brooks OLB 6-2 250 25 R Arizona
59 Mercilus, Whitney OLB 6-4 261 R Illinois

Mercilus got Demeco's no. since it was only no. in 50's left unused I heard.

[Nconroe]

so on defense we have in camp, if I can count correctly or didn't miss anyone
14 DB
11 DL
15 LB

or 40 guys trying out for about 25 positions in September.

of course some will get hurt, some will go and some others will likely arrive before then .

[Nconroe]

Since started this, might as well keep going

on special teams right now

2 Hartmann, Brett P 6-2 227 24 R Central Michigan
5 Jones, Donnie P 6-2 220 31 8 LSU

46 Weeks, Jonathan LS 5-10 242 26 2 Baylor

4 Bullock, Randy K 5-9 205 R Texas A&M
17 Graham, Shayne K 6-0 214 34 11 Virginia Tech

only one KR listed right now, who should also be on WR list
16 Holliday, Trindon KR 5-5 170 26 2 Louisiana State

ST 6 ,
of course all non starters help making the team if they play on coverage with special teams, more flexibiliity the better.

[Nconroe]

The OL has plenty of competition as well - 15 in all , how many do we keep?

60 Jones, Ben C 6-3 316 R Georgia
55 Myers, Chris C 6-4 289 30 7 Miami (Fla.)
79 Wallace, Cody C 6-4 300 27 3 Texas A&M

61 Austin, Thomas G 6-4 310 25 1 Clemson
62 Caldwell, Antoine G 6-3 311 26 3 Alabama
66 Gardner, Andrew G 6-6 308 26 2 Georgia Tech
71 Smith, Shelley G 6-3 297 25 2 Colorado State
74 Smith, Wade G 6-4 310 31 8 Memphis
67 White, Cody G 6-5 315 R Illinois State
79 Brooks, Brandon G 6-5 343 R Miami (Ohio)

76 Brown, Duane T 6-4 320 26 4 Virginia Tech
78 Butler, Rashad T 6-4 317 29 6 Miami (Fla.)
77 Menkin, Nathan T 6-4 296 R Mary Hardin-Baylor
69 Mondek, Nick T 6-5 307 R Purdue
75 Newton, Derek T 6-5 307 24 R Arkansas State

It seems perhaps we are slowly bringing in bigger linemen, perhaps to help on the endzone scoring punch.
