Seven Round Texans Mock Draft 2.0

612_1366634352

Finally, the draft is upon us in a matter of hours. We have looked at tons of mock drafts, some changing all the time while some stay around the same picks in regards to team’s draft needs. In my second mock, I plan to look at the draft from a worst case scenario prospective. No draft ever goes exactly how you expect it to so I plan to do this mock based on who may or may not be available on the board. Keep in mind that these picks are based on current draft position, no trading up or back involved. With…

Texans Seven Round Mock Draft

Reliant Stadium

With the 2013 NFL Draft almost here, we’ll take a look at the Houston Texans’ current roster and the holes left by the losses the Texans had in free agency. Currently, the Texans lost a safety in Glover Quin, an outside linebacker in Connor Barwin, and tight end James Casey who will need to be replaced. The Texans also have to look at getting a playmaking wide receiver to replace Kevin Walter who the Texans cut to create more cap space. The challenging part that most good teams experience is the balance of keeping their core players together while at…

After watching this game so many questions come to mind and major concerns going forward. In this final article let’s look at some of the concerns going into the offseason.   FINAL SCORE: Texans 28 Patriots 41   TEXANS PLAYOFF RECORD: 1-1 TEXANS PLAYOFF SEATING: 3RD TEXANS OPPONENT: NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS   GAME SUMMARY     Texans Total Yards: 425 Patriots Total Yards: 457   Texans…

Kashif Moore Signed to Practice Sqaud

58548975

Kashif Moore was recently signed to the practice squad by the Houston Texans. He was an undrafted rookie out of Connecticut who has tremendous speed (4.32 /40) and great leaping ability (43.5 vertical). Moore, at 5’9 180 lbs, is projected as kick returner or possible slot receiver. He was with the Cincinnati Bengals but was cut and later awarded to the Indianapolis Colts on waivers. Moore was released and made another stop in San Diego with the Chargers before he was called by the Texans for a tryout. The way I see it, Moore was brought in to be on the…

Playoff time has arrived and the Houston Texans hosted the Cincinnati Bengals for the second time in the opening round of the playoffs. A lot of skepticism surrounded this game, especially with the poor play of the Texans at the latter end of the season. The major question concerning the Texans going into the playoffs was could they flip the switch and catch the fire they had at the beginning of the season. Here’s the breakdown:   FINAL SCORE: Texans 19 Bengals 13   TEXANS PLAYOFF RECORD: 1-0 TEXANS PLAYOFF SEATING: 3RD TEXANS FIRST OPPONENT: CINNCINATI BENGALS TEXANS NEXT OPPONENT:  NEW ENGLAND…

The Good, The Bad, and The Exposed: Colts Edition 2

MattSchaub

It seems nothing has been going right for the Houston Texans, and to make matters worse the playoffs start on Saturday. The Texans have had ample opportunities to right the ship, but due to lack of focus, discipline, and bad execution the Texans have been their own worst enemy. Gary Kubiak has his hands full going into the postseason, and the Bengals who are hot are coming back to Reliant for revenge of last year’s defeat at the hands of the Texans.   FINAL SCORE: Texans 16 Colts 28   TEXANS REGULAR SEASON RECORD: 12-4 TEXANS DIVISIONAL RECORD: 5-1 TEXANS…

The Good, The Bad and The Ugly: Vikings Edition

BrooksReed

It’s getting closer to the post season and the Houston Texans have not shown the same explosiveness on offense that they have in the first quarter of the season. The Texans hosted the Vikings at Reliant Stadium and were very gracious hosts as they allowed the Vikings to put their feet up on the table and make themselves at home. The game never seemed out of control or out of hand, but the Texans could not capitalize on their offensive possessions.   FINAL SCORE: Texans 6 Vikings 23   TEXANS REGULAR SEASON RECORD: 12-3 TEXANS DIVISIONAL RECORD: 5-0 TEXANS AFC…

The Good, The Bad and The Ugly: Colts Edition

The first divisional matchup between the Houston Texans and the Indianapolis Colts had divisional as well as playoff implications, making it a big game. With a win, the Texans would clinch the division, while the Colts would clinch a playoff spot. Both teams needed a win to keep their positioning in the playoff race as well as the division; however, the Texans flexed their muscle just enough to close the door on the Colts.   FINAL SCORE: Texans 29 Colts 17   TEXANS REGULAR SEASON RECORD: 12-2 TEXANS DIVISIONAL RECORD: 5-0 TEXANS AFC CONFERENCE RECORD: 10-1 TEXANS VS NFC CONFERENCE RECORD:…

The Good? The Bad and The Ugly: Patriots Edition

ArianFoster

Tom Brady and the New England Patriots hosted the Houston Texans at Gillette Stadium and routed the Texans. In what looked to be a great matchup turned into a slaughter in the first half of the game and the Texans never recovered. Now the question becomes how do the Texans recover from yet another thrashing by an elite quarterback?   FINAL SCORE: Texans 14 Patriots 42   TEXANS REGULAR SEASON RECORD: 11-2 TEXANS DIVISIONAL RECORD: 4-0 TEXANS AFC CONFERENCE RECORD: 9-1 TEXANS VS NFC CONFERENCE RECORD:  2-1   GAME SUMMARY Texans Total Yards: 323 Patriots Total Yards: 419   Texans…

The Good, The Bad and The Ugly: Titans Edition 2

Antonio Smith

Another Texans and Titans (TNT) matchup is in the books. The Texans closed out their final divisional matchup with their most volatile rival. The Texans went into LP Field in Tennessee to face the Titans and they beat them with ease. After the Texans got up to a 21-3 lead, the Texans’ offense put it on cruise control and grinded out another win that got them closer to homefield throughout the playoffs.   FINAL SCORE: Texans 24 Titans 10   TEXANS REGULAR SEASON RECORD: 11-1 TEXANS DIVISIONAL RECORD: 4-0 TEXANS AFC CONFERENCE RECORD: 9-0 TEXANS VS NFC CONFERENCE RECORD:  2-1  …
