Texans signed DT Brandon Dunn to active roster off Bears' practice squad, per source

Someone hurt of ineffectiveness? I'm actually surprised we're not raiding more practice squad's with the lack of overall talent and depth this team has. WTH, I can't imagine our 40th best player on down is any better than taking a flyer on a PS player.

Saw where Crick pulled up lame on Monday, but that's a DE spot, not DT/NT. The Wilfork experiment hasn't exactly yielded the results we had hoped, that's for sure.

Saw this a few minutes ago, guess that means Washington/Shorts are getting in better shape:

#Texans have waived WR Chandler Worthy

The same Worthy who played ahead of Strong.

I don't think the bottom of our roster is actually worse than most teams. Many of our cuts found homes other places. This isn't surprising since we actually do very well in rounds 6-7 and UDFA. But we are terrible in rounds 2-4 and I think that shows up more in how bad our roster is from spots 10-40.

Different spots, and return ability (allegedly), but still a bad look for Strong.

FWIW - They did resign Worthy to the PS.

I think it's more a bad look for O'Brien. We played a guy that 32 NFL teams passed on after we waived him ahead of the guy who caught 2 TDs in his first NFL game.

As for return ablility, nobody on our team has shown any.

O'Brien has had lots of bad looks lately. For instance, unless he's intentionally trying to undermine the confidence and performance of his QBs, I have no idea what his thinking process is at that position ?

They would be better off rushing the punter with 11 guys and hoping for the best. The only thing that ever happens on a return is a block in the back penalty which you can avoid entirely with the chuck system. I'll take my chances on the bounce of the football.

Sadly, I think you have a point here.
