AP to re-vote on Defensive Rookie of The Year award

May 10, 2010

OK, so, looks like even passing a lie-detector test couldn’t guarantee the DROY honor is staying with Brian Cushing. Just earlier today, the word was that a decision on a possible re-vote wouldn’t be made for a few days at the earliest. It only took a couple of hours, but the Associated Press will indeed [...]

Brian Cushing takes and passes lie-detector test

May 10, 2010

Brian Cushing might’ve saved his Defensive Rookie of the Year status. According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Texans juicer linebacker underwent a lie-detector test to prove he didn’t take a performance-enhancing drug. He passed, by the way. Although his four-game suspension is still upheld, this could go a long way to helping Cushing’s credibility, not [...]

Texans interested in Alan Faneca

April 25, 2010

John McClain, Texans beat-reporter for the Houston Chronicle, writes that Houston has shown interest in the perennial Pro Bowl guard. “I think everybody [...]

Texans 2 (58): RB Ben Tate

The New England Patriots traded their 58th overall pick to the Texans who selected Ben Tate running back from Auburn. Solidly built and shifty, Tate adds another dimension to a loaded Houston offense. Steve Slaton, you’re now on the hot seat.

Vikings 2 (51): RB Toby Gerhart

April 23, 2010

The Texans trade their pick to the Vikings, and the Vikes select RB Toby Gerhart out of Stanford, that based on the shot of the Gerhart family at home. John Randle makes the official call. Gerhart is under the radar for a lot of folks. Known as a work horse, his abilities tend to be [...]

Houston Texans No. 20: CB Kareem Jackson

April 22, 2010

The Texans are on the cusp. Just missed out on a Wild Card ride into the playoffs. Matt Shaub was the 7th ranked QB in the league last season, and is carving himself in. Word from the Texans is that they are looking for a RB to spread that offense out. Ryan Matthews is still [...]

Texans sign Rosevelt Colvin

June 16, 2008

Former Chicago Bear, and most recently New England Patriot, LB Rosevelt Colvin, signed with the Houston Texans today. Rosevelt was courted by multiple teams but ultimately chose the Texans, where he should start, due to the team’s anemic pass rush. Colvin figures to take the pass-rushing pressure off of Mario Williams and allow him to develop [...]
