Thursday Night Preseason Games

It'll be a short, but entertaining appearance by Holton. Started with a fumbled snap on the first play but was able to recover it. Had two big scrambles. Then threw a prayer while under pressure that turned into a TD, Thanks to a great play by the receiver Matt Landers. With 2 minutes left, Ahlers is 4-4, 43 yards, TD. 3 rushes for 29 yards.

A few thoughts reading through this thread…

-we picked the right QB.

-glad to see Holton Ahlers have some success, but he should try switching to TE/FB or prepare to be a QB in Canada.

-much like I consider Russell Wilson from Wisconsin bc that’s where he was drafted from and finished, I view Hurts from Oklahoma. I can see why the first schools would claim them, but they left and that shouldn’t be ignored.

-I know it’s early in their careers, but will the posters who were adamant we should take CJ over Bryce ever be able to admit their error?

I originally wanted Stroud over Young, but thought and still think both will have good careers. As soon as our staff picked Young I assumed he was the right choice. Between Caldwell, Reich, Brown, and McCown they have a lot of bright offensive minds. Based on what I’ve seen so far Young has confirmed why he was the right choice. It’s still insanely early in either player’s career, but it’s hard to argue against Young being the guy based on what we have all seen/heard so far.

Early? It's the first week of preseason lol.

Whichever QB who went to Houston was going to face an uphill battle.

Folks need to learn to separate draft prospect discussions from a personal vendetta bc it's not healthy to carry this years from now which I can tell some of you might.

Texans about to find out real soon why you need a Oline for a young QB.

 

Im so thankful we finally built a above average Oline. Bryce definitely has a better supporting cast than Stroud right now.

Texans were the worst team in the league last year and we were a few plays from making the playoffs (even after a horrible start with Rhule). We had a solid foundation out there for a rookie QB, AND THEN got busy AF in the offseason to build a damn near perfect scenario for him.

Same here.  But my concern for young is still valid

Agreed. Its not healthy There are setting themselves up really bad if bryce doesn't look the part in live bullets. The excuses will not help and they will make them. Both guys deserve some time before being dragged under a microscope in reality. What can you really determine off 4 passes in first pre season? It makes the comments sound way more trollish than reasonable analysis and thats funny comin from certain people.

    • My projection. I think at WR its time to go with youth. This means Moore should be the odd man out. Horn can return both punts and kicks and Tremayne is a better WR than Moore. XL gets one more year to prove himself, although I could see a trade in the future which would mean Moore could stay. For OL, I would like us to bring back Brady if we can. The RBs, Trevor can return both punts and kicks too. With the uncertainty of Brooks and Dillon, its hard to choose either one. I think the team would like for Brooks to have a breakout season to clear any uncertainty that he deserves a spot. For now, I have them both even and on the team. DL looks solid as well as OLB. Watch out for the UDFA of Aaron Hall and Isaiah Smith at OLB. They look promising and could knock someone off the team. ILB is still the biggest weakness on the team. We need to upgrade that any means necessary. CB is strong and Im praying to all the Gods that Wheatley beats out Scott at FS.  OFFENSE: WR: Tetairoa McMillan - *Chris Brazzell II* - Brycen Tremayne TE: Tommy Tremble - James Mitchell LT: #Rasheed Walker# - *Monroe Freeling* LG: Damien Lewis C- #Luke Fortner# - *Sam Hecht* RG: Robert Hunt - #Saahdiq Charles# RT: Taylor Moton - #Stone Forsythe# TE: Ja`Tavion Sanders - Mitchell Evans WR: Xavier Legette - Jalen Coker - Jimmy Horn Jr. QB: Bryce Young - #Kenny Pickett# RB: Chuba Hubbard - Trevor Etienne - #AJ Dillon# - Jonathon Brooks DEFENSE: LE: Tershawn Wharton - Bobby Brown III  NT: *Lee Hunter* - Cam Jackson RE: Derrick Brown - LaBryan Ray LOLB: Nic Scourton - Patrick Jones II  LILB: Trevin Wallace - Bam Martin-Scott - *Jackson Kuwatch* RILB: #Devin Lloyd# - Claudin Cherrelus  ROLB: #Jaelen Phillips# - Princely Umanmielen LCB: Jaycee Horn - Akayleb Evans RCB: Mike Jackson - *Will Lee III* - Chau Smith-Wade SS: Tre`von Moehrig - Lathan Ransom FS:  Nick Scott - *Zakee Wheatley* - Demani Richardson  SPECIAL TEAMS: K/KO: Ryan Fitzgerald P/H: Sam Martin KR: Trevor Etienne - Jimmy Horn Jr. PR: Trevor Etienne - Jimmy Horn Jr. LS: J.J.

    • His contract is guaranteed.  Legette is just not where he needs to be mentally.  Not fully invested, it seems. 
    • Literally like Hill. He's not QB1 material (now or ever), but if we can turn him into a H-back and use him like  Swiss army knife, that's his ticket to make the roster.  H-back/emergency QB.  I wonder how good his hands are?  If they are at least above average by NFL standards then we can line him up in the backfield, in the slot, split out wide and of course, in the Wildcat.
