Accountability

In the offseason the Front office saw fit to go forward with Garbage at Safety and nothing behind Slaton at RB. Not one of our 8(?) draft picks or a single free agent dollar went to improve two holes that appeared gaping to everyone but Smith and Kubiak. Now with our back end keying a terrible defensive effort in the first 3 weeks and our inability to covert a 3rd/4th and 1 costing us all season, I say our 2-3 record falls squarely on the shoulders of Kubiak and Smith.

But on the bright side we have four good TEs for an offense that is at it's best in 3 and 4 wide sets.

I hope whoever replaces Kubiak has personell say. Smith and the front office are a good pro and college scouts but appears to have no plan or vision for what he wants the team to be. Let someone with a plan tell him what to do and he should be good at doing it.

So far what have Casey and Hill done?

Exactly

I am starting to think they picked up Casey because they are not going to extend OD's contract; and Hill because they needed a blocking TE.

They better not.

At the very least they have leverage with OD that they didn't have before drafting Casey.

Forget that. Daniels is a probowler. You drop one of these other scrubs before you let him get away.

Leverage or a 4th round RB to try to score on the goalline?

Leverage or a Safety who can tackle?

4 TEs is pointless. A terrible waste of resources on a position where our 2 deep was already set while we ignored spots where we had great need.

Don't look at me, dude, I'm not the one in the war room making the decisions. They drafted two more TEs in April. I didn't tell them to. It was obvious to me that they hoped Casey would be a Daniels clone and would give them leverage with OD next year. Hey, maybe I'm wrong. Maybe the Texans just like having four TEs on the team, who knows.
