Daniels Breaks Leg - Out A Month

[HPF Bob]

ESPN crawl says TE Owen Daniels has a broken leg and will miss four weeks. Not great news since he is Schaub's security blanket.

I blame Schaub for this.

Probably the beginning of the end of OD's time here. I suspect Graham will come in and prove to be a sufficient replacement for him, particularly considering how high OD's salary is.

You may be right. His game is all about speed and this might take awhile to get top speed to return. I liked the kid we have as third string. He showed me a lot in preseason. Plus, like Graham used to be, nobody is going to cover him in the first few weeks until people know who he is.

Ryan Griffin is the 3rd TE. He made a fantastic block in the first half of the Seattle game back when we had an NFL franchise in Houston.

Daniels "game is all about speed" ? You're joking, right Bob ? Last time I watched OD run, he seemed to spend a long-time in one spot. OD is slow as a turtle.

Yea, I'm anxious to see Griffin, he was one of the real steals in our Draft along with OL Quess who I believe is out on IR.

OD is definitely a goner next year. With the way things are going, I suspect they eventually decide to IR him and fill his spot with someone else at another area of need (OL/CB?).
