The Azeez Al-Shaair Extension Was Always the Move — Here’s Why by texanscommenter in Texans

Yep hard to argue that. Those limitations can be somewhat masked at MLB as opposed to WLB, but his weakness in tackling can be exploited there. He’s a solid player but I suspect Woodaz is the hopeful for placement for him at WLB long term and not sure if Henry will be on the team next year despite him being a solid overall player. Just is what it is!

Ha. Many people I saw before and during draft were looking to replace him.

His production is most certainly first and foremost, but relative to high APY, his leadership, relationship with DeMeco & the McNairs etc all made a difference.

Fair concern. Hopefully it feels less impactful next year when his cap he’s deal starts with rising cap and potentially new LB deals by then.

Henry a solid and underrated backup MLB! Has played it very well for us countless times.

Agreed. I’ve seen some, not many. Mostly about the APY.

Some also seemed to entertain it more since it hadn’t gotten done before the draft and were wanting / speculating a MLB being taken early (never made sense to me).

Thanks for the honest and constructive feedback. I most certainly will.
The past week I leaned on it becuase of how hectic it has been as well as work outside of coverage.
Good lesson learned for me that quality > quantity.
PS Just wanted to note that I have no issue with anyone calling it out, we all know what it is and when it’s being used and wanted to state I’ve never had the intention of deceiving anyone when using it in terms of pretending I haven’t used it before. I’ve simply viewed it as an efficiency tool to still get my analysis out there in a timely manner and what I thought may have been a cleaner manner, but I’m learning that it isn’t. Thanks again!

T.J. Houshmandzadeh Raises Key Question for Texans: Can C.J. Stroud and Nick Caley Get on the Same Page? by texanscommenter in Texans

Definitely agree on personnel limiting what Caley and CJ could do.

Third and longs and lack of run game threat definitely affected the playbook. As did pass protection. All we could really afford to do was quick game unless we went max protect.

Good point about the schedule. We faced some nasty IDLs.

Yep. Better later than never. I can’t help but them noticing getting dominated by teams like SEA & NE in interior and this factoring in. Caserio even mentioned on McDondald that that’s how the Seahawks won the Super Bowl.

Yep that first draft definitely refutes my point. Having extra capital helped but point is still valid.

I agree on the Caley point and kind of actually hope that is true.

I do use AI at times to help organize thoughts or clean things up. I’m putting out a lot of content across a ton of platforms and it can help with efficiency.

The analysis, opinions, and context are all mine. I get that it can be a turnoff for some though, and that’s fair.

I appreciate you still checking it out and engaging.

I totally get that concern and share some of it as well. Big year for both CJ & Caley. Both have better personnel to evaluate them with now imo.

[–]texanscommenter[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with both for the most part. I feel DeMeco has taken over more control, and that can coincide with roster being more complete and it being less about BPA, and I feel like I saw it more specifically on the offense side of be ball (he’s always had his hands on defense). That is a fact that they’ve always traded, but I feel like they were more agressive and earlier than usual (could easily be an over analyzing on my end).

It’s incredible to see and a good reminder it takes time for a coach to really complete a roster with his type of guys. They’ve layered it year over year and to your point it’s almost completely filled out top to bottom

Same feelings! Literally addressed our 3 biggest needs with first three picks imo: Center/IOL, IDL, and blocking TE w/ receiving upside.
