TEXANS NEWS - Tyrod Taylor OUT Thursday vs Panthers. Davis Mills to start at QB

Looking forward to the game. I hope Tyrod heals up well and soon, he's a good guy who's had some bad luck. It was us he was scheduled to play last year when they had that accidental needle slip that could have killed him and set Herbert into the starting role (we did win that one).

I almost feel sorry for the Houston Texans fans, too. Man, that team has just been destroyed by bad coaching, bad management and bad luck. We play who the schedule makers set before us, though, so we'll just have to send condolences after that game.

You know. I won’t really feel happy being 3-0. Taylor is hurt so we aren’t beating them at their best. Just like today, it didn’t really feel like a win beating the Saints without their top guys. Honestly, I’d feel better if we petitioned the NFL to make today and Thursday ties.


 

 

fug that noise, 3-0 all the way. Who actually thinks like that? SMH.

I get the sentiment but Carolina can't help that, and they've looked good in winning these first 2 weeks just like quality teams should in games they should win. Agreed though that a true litmus test is still outstanding.

Happens to winning/playoff teams literally every year and no one talks about taht nor cares about it. 3-0 is 3-0 regardless so that faux tough guy poo just really exposes wannabes.

if they did the league would commish exempt him, that would be way too big of a bad story for the league to let him play through the allegations.

The NFL has not sanctioned Watson. They've basically ignored what's going on. The Texans all on their own have acted like he's not part of the team. Good for them.

They haven’t done anything because the Texans haven’t played him. If they decided to start playin him the media would make a huge stink about it and the league would have no choice but to quiet it down by putting him on the exempt list.

If the Texans try to start him he immediately goes on the exempt list.  That is what Howey Long said today on the broadcast of the game.

    • okay I found this and it sounds like my hopes for the first surgery being not such a great job seems like it could be actual reality.  I only hoped because that would give a better chance for recovery and ia a possible scenario so I just thought it could be possible. Had no real evidence of it. But I’ll be damned.    This is a detailed report of Brooks’ surgery and the condition of his knee after the failed repair.     https://x.com/jmthrivept/status/2055743129408704806?s= Sparked by some very good questions by @CoachspeakIndex, here’s some info on Jonathon Brooks: 1. Speculation that the first graft/ACLR by Dr. Cooper didn’t “take” or at least was too lax, leading to failure and re-tear. Brooks dealt with issues cutting, progressing in his rehab into the early stages of 2024 and then re-tore it late 2024, requiring a second ACLR in January 2025 (essentially revision). Notably, CAR prolonged Brooks’ rehab process through Sept-Oct due to issues progressing into the next stages of rehab. 2. Second surgery performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who has extensive experience with revisions. He did a double bundle technique, harvesting graft from Brooks’ left patellar tendon and a strip of his right IT Band (his right patellar tendon had been utilized for the prior graft in 2023. The double bundle technique significantly increases rotational stability of the knee, leading to a stronger and more secure graft/reconstruction. Also to note, Brooks’ surgery wasn’t significantly delayed, meaning that the tunnels from his prior ACLR were in good shape and they didn’t need to perform bone grafts to fill in (would have delayed 2nd surgery by 5-6 months). Essentially, reading the tea leaves tells me that everything else except for the graft itself was still in good quality within his knee. Good sign for future.  3. Typically, you see a performance increase anywhere from 16-20 months post-revision. Brooks will be ~21 months out from his second surgery by the time Week 1 hits. His knee should be more stable and stronger this time around, with adequate time for healing and return to all movement patterns. I’m not viewing this situation as a typical “Player __ had TWO ACL tears, he’s cooked” situation. Rather, I’m viewing it as the first procedure failed, but the second procedure is significantly stronger and should allow him to return to form this time around. I don’t know why it posted as a link but there it is.  
    • Jackie, any more reps tomorrow, or is that it for this session?  thanks for the work
    • How can you say they aren’t trying to win now with all the moves made in free agency? Or is trading first round picks the only way to be win now? I’d be fine never trading another first round pick again, win now be damned.
