Got a job here at the U of H. Started in September. My wife is an artist working in NYC, so we'll be splitting some time back and forth, Brooklyn mainly in the summer, the rest in Houston.

Fortunately, people who like the Texans tend to dislike the Cowroids, so it's not a bad town. Plus, I live near a pretty awesome sports bar--stumbling distance from my house.

I would like to see Heyer (if he's healthy, of course) out there. Yes, he's got liabilities, but I think he's got more upside. Further, it may be time to give DeMulling a try--at least to see how he works with the line. I know that the o-line is in flux and messing with it more may be trouble, but IMO it's just not working now. And a Gibbs/Saunders O without a good line is just what we're seeing--poo.

Thoughts?

Wade is what he is. He's not a full time starter. Look at his whole NFL career. He gets hurt alot and isn't durable and when he does play he isn't all that good. He is a stop gap player that you can get by with for a game or two. We put way to much stock in his one start last year against TB.

New Orleans. He started against New Orleans.

Wade is awful and Fabini plays like his shoestrings were tied together while he wasn't looking. When you have two worthless loads like that next to each other, their mistakes are compounded. As long as they are in the game, we will struggle offensively which means we will struggle to win games. It's such a shame that Randy Thomas got hurt. I think we could have survived Wade/Heyer at tackle with him doing what he does at Guard.

that why he was cut by miami and houston. He just a back up. Maybe we should start drafting some olinemen next year

[CHIEF CHUCKING MY SPEAR]

the whole oline stinks not just wade. That happens when you dont invest draft picks in the oline or let them leave during FA. These guys we brought in were all cut by someone else. or sign by FA, this line in old and hurt all the time.
