Texans release Domanick Williams (Davis)

[crzyjournalist03]

Wow...talk about revamping your team overnight...I know Williams was hurt last year, but he was a top tier RB before last season!

[pirate4state]

what the hell???? :crazy1: :crazy1:

[Adidas410s]

He wasn't a top-notch back by any means. Two years ago, I would put Alexander, Tomlinson, Holmes, Barber, James and Martin in the top notch catagory. Davis was a solid "middle of the road" back...but not at the caliber of the other guys. Either way...a big surprise to see him released.

[piratebg]

There's a lot of changes going on in Houston. It will be a completely different team next year, but will they be a better team? We'll just have to wait and see.

[pirate4state]

that might be true, but that doesn't change the fact that the idiot Texans were making him the reason they didn't go after Bush, right? or am i thinking of someone else?

eh, who cares ---- it's the Texans. :D

Carr and Williams released
March 23, 2007

In a move that only amplifies the Texans' desire to move forward instead of looking back, the team announced Friday the release of quarterback David Carr and running back Domanick Williams.

The duo’s days in Houston were numbered. Carr, when the Texans traded for quarterback Matt Schaub Thursday and Williams when he had yet another setback in an attempted comeback from knee surgery a few weeks back.

An era has ended and with it the careers of Houston ’s all-time leading passer and rusher. Carr passed for more than 13,000 yards in his five-year career while Williams has amassed over 3,000 on the ground.

Carr passed for 59 touchdowns, setting a franchise mark that likely won’t be challenged for years. Williams’ 28 total touchdowns will likely last a while as well.

As rare as it is for a team to release a tandem of players so decorated in franchise history, Friday’s move is not really surprising.

Thanks to debilitating knee injury, Williams did not play a down during the 2006 campaign and with yet another setback on the road to recovery this offseason, his career in the NFL could be over.

Carr is nothing if not durable, but a change in direction by the front office had Carr looking for a new home this offseason. Since a trading partner could not be found, Carr will spend the next weeks and months looking for another home.

The former number one overall pick has plenty of football left in him. At 27, his best day’s in the NFL could be ahead. Whether or not a team will give him a chance to start for them in 2007 is anyone’s best guess, but considering Carr’s raw athleticism he will certainly find a home somewhere before this season begins, but for the first time in his career he’ll be taking snaps in a uniform other then the Texans.
"move forward" by releasing starters lol

Good grief!

[crzyjournalist03]

If they keep this up, I'm starting a petition to get their name changed! They're giving Texans statewide a bad name!

Houston Houstonians anybody???

[crzyjournalist03]

Oh, and one more thing:

"with yet another setback on the road to recovery this offseason, his career in the NFL could be over"

That's exactly the same thing that was said about Ahman Green this time last year, and now he's the guy they're replacing Williams with...

I'm beginning to think you are right. Maybe at least they will draft McGee in two years.

[TexasHSFootball]

Williams.. Davis... whatever he calls himself.. he should change his name to Confused. He was about the most overrated RB in the NFL.

The Texans have Ahman Green now... who is much better and reliable than Confused ever was and ever will be.

Sorry, I was at One Act Play Competition

Williams is hurt, and the Texans have Lundy and Taylor at RB

[Txbroadcaster]

Sounds like to me the Texans are finally trying to right the ship. This wont happen overnight, but they are beginning to purge the team and rebuild.

[sahen]

i read something on another board that caught my eye....is it possible that the texans are intentionally running the team into the ground in order to move them to L.A....the NFL did want them there in the first place and now its obvious the saints rnt going anywhere....
