Rumor has it:

Credit: Kirk Bohls and the Statesman's web site.

"The Houston Texans, who probably will hire Broncos offensive coordinator Gary Kubiak as their new head coach whenever Denver is eliminated from the playoffs or wins the Super Bowl, are considering sending quarterback David Carr to the Miami Dolphins in exchange for former Longhorn running back Ricky Williams and Miami's first-round draft pick in 2007.

Kubiak would hire former Longhorn great Jerry Gray as his defensive coordinator (Gray may want to bolt the sinking ship in Buffalo) and hire Texas' Greg Davis as his quarterbacks coach. Davis has long had a close association with the Broncos.

Maybe the Dolphins figure Williams is tainted goods, considering all his baggage and may think Carr is ready to blossom after going through all his growing pains in Houston. That could free up Houston to take Vince Young with the No. 1 pick on April 29. Sounds interesting."

Hell yeah! Can you imagine Vince and Ricky in the same backfield?

I find it funny that a former Aggie coach is trying to surround himself with Longhorns.

by Ned Ryerson on Jan 11, 2006 2:02 PM CST reply actions   0 recs

Can you blame him?
What have the Aggie's done lately?

Just too easy of a shot to not take.

(Tears flowing)
I didn't cry after the RB, but this is the greatest news EVER.

"and hire Texas' Greg Davis as his quarterbacks coach. Davis has long had a close association with the Broncos."

Up in smoke
I'm afraid Ricky might be a bad influence on Vince.

by Jason on Jan 11, 2006 2:10 PM CST reply actions   0 recs

Or maybe Vince can
convince Ricky to start playing again.

This can't be true, it is just too good.

Although it would convert plenty of UT and Cowboy fans to Houston.

They would have me.
Both of those players with a few new lineman and that team can contend.

Let's not forget
the pending trade of Kris Brown for Phil Dawson and Andre Johnson for Roy Williams.

Degree of Truth
This news is badass.  I hope we know soon whether this has any truth to it.  Rumors like this are just cruel for Horns fans.  As of now, I don't cheer for a particular NFL team so much as I cheer for former Longhorns.  This would certainly direct my focus to Houston.

Instant Texans fan
It sounds too good to be true, but I would certainly look forward to the "regional" Texans games now instead of bitching about them.

If I don't get the Ticket, that is.

Bears won't need Benson, ssooooo....
QB Vincent Young (Overall No. 1 pick)
RB Ricky Williams (Domanick Davis for Ricky)
RB Cedric Benson (Picked up on waivers)
FB Will Mathews (Free agent)
WR Roy Williams (Trade with Detroit)
WR Sloan Thomas (Free agent from Tennessee Titans)
RT Mike Williams (Bolts Buffalo)
LG Derrick Dockery (Redskins can't afford him)
LT Leonard Davis (trade with Arizona)
TE David Thomas (Pick up in the fourth round)

O-Coordinator - Greg Davis
Wide receivers - Kyle Shanahan
Quarterback consultant - Major Applewhite from nearby Rice

The reason they don't pick up Bo Scaife is because they believe he still has five more years of college eligibility remaining

and for the D
LBs Derrick Johnson, D.D. Lewis, Aaron Harris
D-Line: Casey Hampton, Shaun Rogers, Corey Redding, Rod Wright
CBs: Quentin Jammer, Nathan Vasher
Strong Safety: Michael Huff, Cedric Griffin*

*NFL scouts move the hard hitter to his new position in the pros

I think we can safely bring Chizik in to coach the D.

Not a bad unit, really.

And when they face the Cowboys in the Super Bowl
This is the defense they'll see:

DE Dan Wilkerson

LB Rocky Calmus
LB Lance Mitchell
LB Teddy Lehman
CB Derrick Strait
CB Antonio Perkins
SS Andre Woolfolk
FS Roy Williams

Mike Stoops becomes Dallas' D-Coordinator
DB Coach - Rickey Dixon
LB Coach - Torrance Marshall

Peter King
Just confirmed that the Texans are an intense debate.

They might move David Carr and draft VY or keep Carr and draft Bush.

The rumors have some traction, if guys like King are confirming them.

Far fetched
Houston is set on this Carr kid, Bush is there kid. Believe me. Vince is better off as the third pick anyway. Think about it. If mcnair stays in tennessee, young will be there too. hopefully he doesnt get picked 2nd, Lord forbid

Where am I?
Am I asleep?  Or could this be another Kurt "Smoking" Bohls mind-hump for my fellow Longhorn fans to stumblingly ejaculate over.  
I am a gorgeously staunch Cowboys fan, and having lived in Houston for a year or two, i pretty much loathe the Texans for consistently impaling themselves on their own dull lousiness and destroying 4 hours of my CBS morning football.  Plus, David Carr's only contribution to the city is his 2 minute breast cancer diatribe on the ass-clown sports radio broadcast during Monday morning drive-time.  I also hate when people creatively use Toxins as a punchline, and then play the laugh track.

I have been out of the country for most of the NFL season, but didn't Ricky drop like a buck 97 on some lowly rush defense; while Ronnie Brown-eye was licking a sore appendage or am I way off?  Having an entire Longhorn back field might just make me renounce my sworn allegiance to former head coach Dave Campo and fall in the lemming line at Reliant stadium for yellow infection nachos and a Miller Light.  

Obviously this paradoxical scenario makes me even more engourged, due to the projected departure of everyone's favorite offensive fingerpaint-monkey.  

Ever nervous of the backhanded silver ringed pimp-slap that a daydream like this might lead too, I might be concerned that the Texans would Beastie Boys Leinart with their first pick and Sabotage the opportunity to have Young taking snaps next season.  This scenario, would leave every Longhorn crying over the eventuality of the Saints sending Vince to the land winning forgot and leaving newsmakers to wonder who will be coverpaging the bridal gown: Vince or Ditka?  Then again, the Kube loves his PA bootleg and crazy eyes Plumber's jazz decision making in or out of the pocket; where Vince's jaw dropping adultery with grass field ice skating might just pull the heartstrings of Gary's budding pathos.  

I still like VY going to the Tits, sitting under removal of hair McNair and developing into an NFL god as opposed to the trial via fire, run for your life, Texans gameplan.  Don't forget, Billy Volek always ends up starting like three games a season, because Steve breaks his spine or loses a testicle.

Are you sure you're not Bill Walton?
That was a brilliant tyrade!!  I can't say I like the man, Walton, but when he speaks, I listen.  Way to go TBone.

TBone rocks
If you haven't read his diary of his Rose Bowl experience, stop what you're doing and go read it now.

Don't Get Your Hopes Up
As sheet-staining as this little thought exercise may be, have no doubt that Casserly can find a way to turn this into crap fondue.  The best thing for VY would be going to the Titans, at least it's better than ending up with the NO/San Antonio/Los Angeles Saints.  And it would be Bud Adams' final 'F-U' to Houston, he can't pass up the opportunity to stick the knife in one last time.  Bohls needs to step away from the crackpipe (or go work for jerry jones).

by littlerearl on Jan 12, 2006 6:35 AM CST reply actions   0 recs

Casserly
He'll Screw it up.

Just look at the Redskins after Gibbs left. Gibbs was the only one who knew personnel.  Gibbs would go around Casserly right to Jack Kent Cooke to get what he needed.

The other rumor out there is the Titans trading up to get Leinart. I doubt it though, too much to give up for one spot.

Fight On!
