Houston you have a problem. Look at who you didn't choose with the first pick in the draft.

Good job Vince!

[Old Tiger]

I'm glad Houston didn't take him ;)

Nice pic in today's Texarkana paper of Brandon Jones - former Liberty-Eylau Leopard!! WAY TO GO TITANS!!! We love you #81 :inlove:

Vince Young is coming along nicely (now 5-4 as starter) & David Carr continues to regress. VY has all the intangibles no doubt. He is still an erratic passer, but gosh what an athlete & leader.

I hope he does well in the NFL & the Titans should improve rapidly in coming years (11 draft picks this year & $41 million under salary cap).

11 draft picks in upcoming draft? Wow! Could be team to be reckoned with in 2-3 yrs.

I was one who thought the trading down of draft pick for more picks was correct thing to do for Texans. Don't know if they tried that or not last spring.
IMO drafting RB wasn't necessary due to having Domanick Davis and I'm still not sold on Bush for being anything but super 3rd down back. Drafting QB wasn't necessary due to having Carr, who I thought would do much better with retooled offense.
Then Texans totally shocked me by taking d lineman with #1 overall pick.
Davis is hurt and Carr is getting worse instead of better. Seems to have really gotten happy feet in the pocket from all the hits he's taken over the years.
So in one way I was right in that more draft picks could have possibly helped texans with all their weaknesses. O-line, safeties, tight end, OLBs, punter.
In another way I was completely wrong, because now I feel they need a RB and a QB as well. They simply had/have too many weaknesses to fill in one draft.

Yes, those #s are correct. The Titans unloaded lots of salary looking to rebuild & now it may pay off if they draft well again & make smart moves. The future certainly looks bright. They have some key guys currently injured too.

Bud Adams may actually live to see a SB Champion!

I thought a team was only allowed to have 10 draft picks...

Agreed on all points. The damage done by Casserley & Capers is way too much to fix in one draft or even 2-3 drafts. Kubiak has his work cut out for him to upgrade the roster (& GM Rick Smith).

IMO, trading down & getting multiple picks was the thing to do last year. I do think Mario Williams will be a good player, but not worthy of the #1 overall pick. The Texans have so many holes (O-line, secondary, LBs, now RB, QB??, etc.). LB Ryans is a player, & TE Daniels & OT Spencer have been bright spots too (Spencer now hurt & out for year).

Last year's draft was pretty darn good overall (Williams, Ryans, Spencer, Daniels, etc.). But it will take years to start over & build a winner. Good luck Kubes!

NO, not if you have acquired multiple picks like the Titans have done the past couple of years. Titans have 11 picks as of now for the Spring (they will probably package some of them to move up, etc. or trade back & have more next year). They will not draft 11 due to salary cap reasons, etc. But it is a good problem to have.

Matter of semantics here. "Start over" meaning basically from scratch was my point. LONG way to go no doubt.

Week 13

Carr - 7/14 for 32 yards. Are you kidding me? No TDs or INTs. 3 rushes for 5 yards.
Young - 15/25 for 163 yards. 2 TDs and 2 INTs. 9 rushes for 78 yards.

Youngs numbers are terrific, but they are solid. More and more fans around here (Houston) are getting frustrated. It will be interesting to see what happens this Sunday when Vince is in town.

What's the over/under on David Carr getting booed?

Highly likely Carr will be booed Sunday at Reliant, & probably deserved too. I hope VY lights up Houston & starts the "get rid of Carr" chant going full bore! Never have believed in Carr to lead a team. Other holes on team no doubt, but not a fan of Carr. Never have been, getting his haircut on local tv was the last straw last year.
