Cushing was a runaway winner in balloting by a nationwide panel of 50 sports writers and broadcasters who cover the league. Cushing received 39 votes Tuesday, easily beating Buffalo Bills safety Jairus Byrd, who had six, and becoming the second Texans linebacker in four seasons to win the award. DeMeco Ryans took it in 2006.

He is a beast.

134 Tackles, 5 Sacks, 4 Interceptions, and two forced fumbles.

That is a great rookie season right there.

as an OLB too. It's common to see MLB/ILBs get that many tackles, but for an OLB it's outstanding. ESPECIALLY since he has DeMeco Ryans next to him. Guy is an absolute monster.

But....Captain!

Captain was great for a seventh rounder that became our Nickle, and occasional #2 but he just can't touch Cushing's numbers and impact.

edit:

If Captain had had oh six or seven picks and a forced fumble or two he would've been in the competition.

Didn't we have this irrelevant discussion about his "bitch tits" months ago? Brian Cushing is the defensive rookie of the year. Don't forget that one of our own players was suspended for something that causes "bitch tits" during his rookie campaign.

      The running back situation....

      By strato · Posted

      Basically agree.  He is the one of that bunch that offers upgraded pass catching along with he is supposed to be kind of special.   Then you have the OL and the ideas that if they perform you can have JAG backs and still do well. So okay we could be fine.  But Brooks is important and to me that receiving element sets him apart.  So there sure is something riding on him.     What strikes me as incongruent is people over in Atlanta or those that follow them look at Penix with a third surgery and act like it is no big deal.      And we are on pins and needles over Brooks.  Either they should worry a lot more or we should worry a lot less.

      I usually go a game or two optimist over the consensus here but this is too early for me to say. I need to see some players on the field.  I am not feeling real optimistic though.

      Okay as a ‘take CJ’ fan I actually don’t obsess over CJ and Houston, contrary to the narrative.  But I thought I picked up some noise that his OL left a lot to be desired.    Not a single Beyce supporter would judge him harshly if he had a crappy OL. We all know that.    So be fair about it.  A QB needs to be protected.  Especially a guy that gets to his spot and wants to finish the play from there. Which CJ is.
