Also add that he is only 28 and one of the few RT's in football that is above average as a run and pass blocker. The overall quality of his play is undeniable for me.Butler may work out but I expect a drop off . At least they resigned Myers. Since they already lost Mario and Winston, that would have meant losing 3 players that are in the top 5 at their positions in football. I felt they would have been a the AFC favorite in the playoffs last year if they hadn't lost Schaub and Andre Johnson. It's a tribute to their depth (and Wade Phillips as a coordinator) how well the defense still played after losing Mario , so I expected them to let him go. He is a better fit as a 4-3 base end anyway. However, they could have worked some cap flexibility if they really wanted too, and kept Winston.Alpha1https://www.blogger.com/profile/11248148103063740509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3426433214166700504.post-83555970085247088712012-03-20T09:22:02.477-04:002012-03-20T09:22:02.477-04:00Texans taking Reuben Randle in Round 1 makes sense...Texans taking Reuben Randle in Round 1 makes sense. Cutting Winston wasn't "inexplicable", as you claim. They needed to get under the cap, and Winston didn't have as great a 2011 season as a lot of people think. He allowed seven sacks and was called for far too many penalties. The Texans have Rashad Butler ready to step in and take over -- they really like him. Drafting an OT would just be for depth.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
