I was just listening to 610 at 8 PM on Sean Berjani and Barry Warner show and Dan Pastorini came on and basically shot down everything you guys are imagining on his and Bum's visit.

Dan said he was out Quail hunting at a friend's Ranch Monday, or maybe it was Bum's ranch. So, in the evening he mentioned he'd like to go to a Texans practice sometime, no one with Texans had contacted him. And then Bum chimed in he had business in Houston anyways this week and hadn't been to a practice for a while, so they just showed up on the sidelines in the morning.

Said hi to Kubiak before practice, watched from the sideline. Dan said he had been on both winning and loosing teams, so he was glad and surprised to see Texans practicing hard just like a winning team should.

Dan also said he thought Schaub is an excellent QB, its tough as Schaub has been hit hard a lot and seems to always get up and keep playing, maybe insinuating OL should do a better job.

Then McNair did invite them to lunch, but they never once brought up or discussed the subject of Wade Phillips as a future DC by anyone.

Those topics came up latter when the press did interview them. They just answered questions, they did not make a speech.

Dan said Kubiak had been a ball boy for him earlier, they were good friends, and he felt he was real good friends with Wade and Bum and Bob McNair. They were all good people and he supported them fully.

One of the surprising comments, he said Bum told him if he was coaching a 3-4 he would take a look at Amobi as a LB.

I think Dan came on with Barry to refute comments like you guys are making above, without saying so. Well, that is how I recall and interpret the conversation.

Before that interview, Amobi Okeye was interviewed around 7:30 PM. He was saying the negativity by fans really didn't help them,but understood, he is hoping everyone comes out and supports them for this upcoming game.

He said he thought biggest problem in losses was seemed like on the big plays someone had missed the call and was out of position. And just bad luck on a few plays such as against Jags or a few other examples. Amobi sounded like he had a cold. Said he hoped to get a chance to continue improving and contribute next year, whatever the system is. Of course he supported his coaches and knew the losses were tough for everyone.

Happy New Years to everyone,
