What's really going on over at Texansville?
Kevin Whited over at blogHouston.net has this interesting post chronicling the trial balloons that are being floated out of the Houston Texans' camp these days as various coaches and management figures attempt to deflect criticism for the team's absolutely horrendous start to the 2005 season.
Although the Texans have a myriad of problems, it appears reasonably clear that the biggest one is that they do not have enough good players. That problem falls squarely in the lap of General Manager Charlie Casserly, whose golden touch with the media has been much better than his coordination of choosing the team's players. The good news is that the Texans are almost $10 million under the NFL salary cap. Moreover, even with the almost certain decision at this point to exercise an $8 million option on under-performing QB David Carr's contract for next season, the Texans should still have plenty of room under next season's salary cap to attract some good offensive and defensive linemen during this upcoming off-season. The key question that Texans owner Bob McNair has to address is this:
Given the below-average nature of the player selections made to date, should Casserly be in charge of making the next round of player selections for the team?
