The Texan passing game as a whole was just a mess in the later stages of the year. Too many dropped balls from the dependable guys, poor pass protection and Schaub having probably his worst 6 game stretch of his career (playoffs included).
IMO, Devier Posey was looking terrific - looked like he belonged on an NFL field. Awesome TD catch against the Pats. Just really sad that he now has a major hurdle (injury) to overcome.
Keshawn Martin - I think the Texans thought he was going to be a DeSean Jackson type but he just didn't show me a whole lot. He did well on the end-arounds and OK on the punt returns - other times he looked like a too small, try-hard guy. Still, not giving up on him, yet.
Lestar Jean - 6 catches all year. Ummm, could we see more, please? Don't think it is his fault that the Texans/Schaub/Kubiak didn't target him more.
Kevin Walter - its popular to be down on him but I'm not there yet. I haven't seen enough film to conclude he "can't get separation" anymore. He has a history of running good routes and has good hands.
James Casey - Somes games he's a contributor, some games he's not. Seems like there were games where he had several catches in the first half and then nothing the rest of the game. Where'd he go? Averaged a tad over 2 catches/game.
Andre Johnson - no evaluation necessary.
"Underutilized" is common theme with many of our receivers. Hard to believe when Schaub is throwing for 4,000 yards but it is what it is.
"Do the Texans Need to Find a WR This Offseason, and If So, What kind?"
Well, it would be a waste to find a deep threat because apparently we don't throw deep anymore, in fact, we don't even it show it when it could help to loosen up a defense. So, any receiver receiver brought in would be something redundant of what we already have. Word coming out of Kirby according to McClain, is that they are happy with what they've got.
