OTA's

saw a quote from Coach Kubiak that Trindon Holliday starting to look like a WR and heard someone else on radio say Trindon made a spectacular catch on a deep throw, not sure from which QB.

The QB was Beck. Holliday was working with the 2nd team at the time.

from Houston Texans Blog - update on our possible kickers

"The Texans’ kicker competition got going in earnest on Thursday, as rookie Randy Bullock and veteran Shayne Graham kicked in front of the team during practice for the first time.

Bullock, a fifth-round draft pick from Texas A&M, was 6-of-6 on field goals of up to 53 yards. Graham, a 12th-year veteran who was signed after the draft, was 4-of-6. Both kickers made their most important kicks of the day, 47-yard field goals to close out practice with a lot at stake for their teammates — and, by extension, for them. .... "

Sounds promising for young Mr. Bullock.

And good news for Texans if this continues.

A lot of kickers don't make it for the team that drafted them. Seems like it takes a couple of years for most of them before they get past their first case of the yips.

I hope Bullock is different. Anyway, expect the competition to continue deep into the exhibition season. Graham, in particular, is kicking as much to get a job somewhere as to get a job in Houston. If he gets cut, he probably won't be out of a job for long.

I agree, I believe is here because the Texans want a vet to show Bullock the work that it takes to be in the NFL, and I believe Graham is here to stay on the radar for other teams.

Two more days of OTA this week.

Daniel Manning really flying around fast at safety is the word.

Seems DBs overall looking great so far.

At WR Lestar Jean and Jeff Maehl looking very good.

Will they keep 6 WR?

OTA are over.

Seems the team has got the hang of what coaches wanted to teach and learn how Texans want to practice.

Improvement and winning seem to be the message.

On to mini camp next week.
