Arguing With Myself: Connor Barwin v. Brooks Reed
Texans fans, Wade Phillips' arrival at Reliant Stadium has caused a whole lot of player shuffling on the defensive side of the ball. Mario Williams is playing weak outside linebacker, J.J. Watt is taking his place at defensive end, and Amobi Okoye has been sent to the playpen for a time out. With...
Eating Crow: My Case For Von Miller
For the last few weeks, I’ve been resisting the popular theory that the Houston Texans should select Von Miller with the eleventh overall pick. I felt so strongly that it was a bad idea that I wrote an entire article to explain my reasoning. As the title to this post suggests, I have...
BRB Interview With Connor Barwin
The Texans defense has been the focal point for the team, its fans and the writers/bloggers covering the team for a while, and this offseason that focus has only increased. Since Frank Bush was handed his walking papers and Wade Phillips was the obvious replacement, everyone has had an opinion on...

Texans Potential Free Agent: Aaron Schobel
Longtime Buffalo Bills defensive end Aaron Schobel retired at the end of the 2009 season, but apparently has had a change of heart. The Bills, however, have informed their 2001 second round draft pick that they will be moving on without him and if he chooses to come back they will give him his...

New England Patriots: Pre-Draft Visits
On the eve of the 2009 NFL Draft, it's only natural to wonder who the heck the New England Patriots are targeting in this year's crop of rookies. It's tough to get a clear picture on who exactly Bill Belichick and the front office covet, but sometimes pre-draft visits can give us an idea of who...
More Fun With Numbers: Managing the Cowboys' Picks
After reading Jim Vance’s post on draft trades, I blew the dust off of my old outdated NFL draft trade value sheet, and dug out the TI-80 I hadn’t used since statistics class in college. I have since been pacing a rut into my living room floor, unconsciously rattling off numbers like...
