Glad Forsett made the team. Surprised at McManis. Would rather have him out there than Alan fucking Ball. Bad mistake.

It's true but at least they got a fullback in that trade. Moran Norris just didn't do much at all this pre-season. Now they got a backup for James Casey.

I have no idea who this guy is though. He was playing for the Bears one year and played in the UFL before that. Hopefully he's a good blocker. At 6'2 and 260 pounds he has the perfect body to play the position, not to mention he's one of those gym rats who lifts weight like he's training for the "World's strongest man" competition. I'm imagining he can knock some people on their ass in goal line situations. That's the only reason a guy like him can make it on an NFL roster.

Former Cowboys FB great Daryl Johnston mentioned Tyler Clutts during a Bears game last year, saying he has all the tools to become a full-time starter. But other than that, I didn't get to see him play that often. Hopefully he will be a nice change of pace when James Casey comes out in the short yardage situations.

I feel bad for Rashad Butler. He was expected to be the starting Right Tackle entering this season but Derek Newton beat him out for the job this pre-season. Kubiak started Newton against the Saints and said he was the starter last Monday. And then Butler hurt himself against the Vikings. He missed most of last season and he will miss all of this season. On the plus side Newton has done very well and Gardner has some experience.

Houston AP - Rashad Butler, who learned this week he had lost his starting job on the right side to Derek Newton, suffered torn triceps in his right arm and is out for the season.

Last season, Butler missed the last 14 games with torn triceps in his left arm.

“It’s unfortunate, a tough, tough deal,” Kubiak said. “He comes back from the other injury, battles, does a heck of a job and handles himself like a big-time pro (when Newton named the starter). You hurt for guys that work their tail off.”

The new swing tackle could be Andrew Gardner, playing in his third season, or a veteran who’ll be on the waiver wire. Gardner started at right tackle in Thursday’s 28-24 victory over Minnesota. Butler started at left tackle. As of now, the 6-6, 309-pound Gardner becomes the swing tackle.

“He had a good camp,” Kubiak said. “We’ve got to find a way to work through it (Butler’s injury).

We just have to hope the Texans stay healthy in the secondary. LOL, I don't want to see Alan Ball and Shiloh Keo on the field.

we're going to see keo for sure. wade uses 3 safeties ALL the time, he'll drop manning or quin down and usually add nolan or demps deep. but no, it'll be fucking keo and not nolan. what a fucking joke.

I'm not too worried though. The pass rush will be elite and will mask a lot of mistakes made by Keo.
