Texans naming David Culley head coach

Ravens receiver coach David Culley beats out Leslie Frazier and Eric Bieniemy for the Texans head coaching job. His status as a friend of quarterback Deshaun Watson likely helped. Watson met Culley at the Pro Bowl a few years back and the two reportedly hit it off.

Culley also received an endorsement from Andy Reid after having worked under Reid at previous coaching stops. So the team ends up with an Andy Reid guy, just not the one people expected.

Additionally, it's reported that Watson favorite Tim Kelly will retain his job as offensive coordinator. Others said to be joining the coaching staff include Lovie Smith and possibly Josh McCown.

Despite being 65 years old, and as such the oldest first time head coach ever hired, Culley has a reputation for relating well with younger players.

Will be interesting to see wherr the Deshaun Watson saga goes from here.

65?  Wow

Yeah, and a pretty interesting life story from what I've read.

As mentioned, wasn't really on anybody's radar before this but he's getting endorsements from all over the place, most prominently from Reid.

Could turn out to be a good choice. We'll see.

McNair kept Easterby, all signs indicate Watson will be gone regardless of their coach choice. 
 

Schefter reported something similar last week. It didn’t matter who the coach was, he was gone. We will see though, there is a long time between now and the start of the new league year, a lot can change.

Absolutely. I thought a HC might could bridge the gap but Easterby is the turd in the punch bowl. Going to be interesting to watch for sure.

      XL is a Lost Cause

      By strato · Posted

      I have been looking for a dropped pass list and all that comes up is QBs. And team stats. When I do receivers I get the passing stats for a handful that threw passes this year.    I wanted to be accurate but anyhow I was looking because thought I remembered reading where T Mac had more drops than XL this year.  One of you many smarter than me people here,I would appreciate it if you know how to pull that up, please do. Thank you.    And yeah I know that isn’t all there is to it I just thought it was interesting.  Of course what the hell is a drop lol.

      I agree with this and I think it's worth mentioning too that Bryce is not consistent on his placement and especially velocity and that in large part is driven by his footwork. We all know XL doesn't have the best hands and I don't know that he can overcome that. Cam always had the heater that just hit your hands and sank into your grip, where Bryce has some that are harder thrown, some soft. Bryce stepping into a pass looks so much different than that hop throw thing he does. I think XL really needs to hit the jugs machine and start learning how to catch all these different touch passes. TMac and Coker don't have these issues. If XL doesn't get some work in he's going to be out of the league in the next couple of years.

      I think most people like XL from a personal standpoint. I don't think he's stupid either. Although if we are being realistic he is lacking in football IQ at this point in time and it cannot be disputed that he has not taken working on his craft seriously at all times given the body of work on the field. It speaks for itself. I myself have defended him at times given the circumstances of our QB room. But he is now in his third year and 25 years old. We are not in a position as a franchise to go around babying anyone especially first round draft picks. He needs to take his position and his football career seriously or he is going to end up selling used cars somewhere. I hope he realizes this and takes an extended break from social media because that mess certainly isn't going to increase his net worth if he ends up out of the league. And these hanger on types will disappear quick too once that money dries up and it surely will eventually. We'll see how he responds.
