Three And Out: Useless Predictions For The 2009 NFL Draft
It's back, baby! BRB's wholly worthless and ill-informed regular in-season feature, "Three And Out," is making a special offseason return for the glory that is the 2009 NFL Draft. You know the drill. I give you three (3) predictions that are sure to come to fruition (read: these predictions are...
It's April 22, 2009--What Do You Want Your Houston Texans To Do With The Fifteenth Pick?
Now that we're approaching the zero hour, let's change the rules of the exercise a bit. First, let's assume that Malcolm Jenkins is off the board. I honestly think he will be gone by the time the Texans go on the clock, so that's not a stretch. Secondly, let's put the option to trade the pick in...
It's April 2, 2009--Who Do You Want Your Houston Texans To Take At No. 15?
This is Version 4.0 of this exercise, so no need to repeat the rules. Week One saw Clay Matthews, Jr. as the people's choice. Week Two saw Malcolm Jenkins steal the title. Matthews then stole the crown back in Week Three. With the 2009 NFL Draft a mere twenty-three (23) days away, who does our...
It's March 25, 2009--Who Do You Want Your Houston Texans To Take At No. 15?
With Edition No. 1 and Edition No. 2 now in the books, we move on to Edition Three, roughly one month before the 2009 NFL Draft begins. The first foray saw Clay Matthews, Jr. win the crown of "Player Who Texans Fans Want With The Fifteenth Overall Pick If They Can't Trade Back." Week Two saw...
It's March 18, 2009--Who Do You Want Your Houston Texans To Take At No. 15?
The second installment of our newest pre-draft running feature is upon us. The maiden voyage saw Clay Matthews, Jr. emerge as the people's choice, though it was with only 34% of the vote. We're still more than a month away from the draft, so it's not too surprising to see this sort of lack...
It's March 11, 2009--Who Do You Want Your Houston Texans To Take At No. 15?
We're going to debut a new feature here at BRB that will run every Wednesday from now until the 2009 NFL Draft. It's not creative. It's speculative. It will have no bearing on what your Houston Texans actually do on April 25, 2009 when they go on the clock. But sweet Mariah...it should provide...
How Big Is Sunday's Game?
The fanbase of your Houston Texans generally thought this was going to be the year. The year of what, you might ask? Some people (this humble/moronic blogger included) thought this would be the year the Texans finished with a winning record. Others thought this'd be the year the Texans finally...
Step Up
Most teams that make deep playoff runs (and those that win the Super Bowl) usually have one or more players that go way beyond who they are on paper. Recent examples we could cite are Eli Manning and Justin Tuck. Eli was a decent-to-good quarterback during most of the season. As the Giants...
2008 NFL Draft: Pre-Draft Open Thread
We're less than 90 minutes away from the excitement and glory of the NFL Draft! Some things to chew on. The Rams, Falcons, and Raiders have all "selected" their picks, sort of. Word is out that the Rams are taking Chris Long, Falcons get Matt Ryan, and Raiders take McFadden. This could all be...
