Sooo I came and went, and this isn't a traditional camp report, because a.) I'm not a scout/coach and b.) this is more for fun and me taking advantage of living in an NFL city and just documented what I observed.
First things first, from now on, ANYONE that tells me or tries to tell me the NFL is "dying" or losing fans, etc etc; that argument will be completely ignored and/or shot down by me. Practice today was PACKED. And that means all those people willingly signed up to get tickets and got them. And they were rowdy and loud, for a team that finished 4-12. Who knows how many tried to get tickets and didn't get any? Remember the whole Bob McNair "inmates" statement? No one cared about that today; only PFT and ESPN Radio did. No one can convince me that people are giving up on the NFL.
Anyway, let's get to the stuff we care about, how the 40 shitters looked to me.
In a word....mediocre.
- Texans 1st and 2nd string offense were continuously owning shitter DBs. In fact, Will Fuller burned them TWICE on go-routes, but Deshaun Watson overthrew them both times. That happened right in front of me.
-During the 7 on 7s (I think it was 7 on 7s), Deshaun and DeAndre Hopkins were on fire. DeAndre especially had a crazy circus catch against some shitter defender. DeAndre Hopkins is a freakin stud, especially in real life. Dude is OP.
-Jimmy Garawhatever's first pass on 7 on 7s was........intercepted by Kareem Jackson. LOL.
-The one place where the shitters looked somewhat decent was their DL, going one on one with Texans tackles. And in team drills the RBs couldn't get anything going. Of course, Houston's OL ain't that good, so I wouldn't read too much into that. Haha.
-Dick Sherman was suited up and didn't participate. Well actually he went on a couple one-on-ones with DeAndre. But ehh. The rest of times I did see him, he was mouthing off or whining. Typical.
-Some shitter defender wanted to play dirty and went for Brandon Weeden's legs. Lame.
-Matt Lengel (Texans TE) had some sickkk cut moves on a route that led a shitter defender grabbing air LMAO.
And for the rest of the Texans, this is a pretty good looking squad. Aside from their superstars, got some promising rookies like Justin Reid, Jordan Thomas (TE), Keke Coutee (WR). DeAndre Hopkins...man I can't get over him. Holy hell he's good.
I couldn't really tell otherwise who "looked good" or didn't. The team came out and did their drills...boom boom and rotated. It was direct and to the point.
Other stuff...I'm shocked at how many grown ass adults were freaking out over obtaining an autograph. J J Watt is one thing, but Alfred Blue? Chris Covington? I'm not saying I wouldn't try to get one, but I'm not screaming at the player and shoving crap in their faces.
They had a bunch of booths set up with sponsors hocking crap. I did obtain a free official size football from one of them too...and not to brag, but I also got a passing accuracy challenge completion.
Here's some pics for your viewing pleasure. I know, I know, what y'all are thinking. Where the fuck is your pic with the cheer squad? Wellll....they came and went DURING practice. And it was only 2 girls...which were the ones that looked like they were right out of high school. Not the ones I crush on. So some other time. Although, some blonde came and purposely sat next to me....like shoulder to shoulder. I could tell she had shampooed that morning, as the breeze was kickin that scent to me. So there's that...lol.
"Man, the Texans are really owning us right now. How the FUCK are we gonna take on the Rams?!"
