Damn that sucks for the Rams! Hate Bradford will have to deal with that again. That is a mental beating as well as physical. Will help my boys in that division though.

Watching the Texans was putting me to sleep. Lots of crossing patterns and nothing down field. Not impressed. Good luck to you fella's.

At least he got PAID!!!!

Wasn't Bradford part of the last rookie class that got the huge signing bonus

Yes Sam was the last #1 pick to get a huge contract. I fully expect the Rams to be terrible and draft one of the QB's coming out and part ways with Sam.

As for the Texans QBs, both Fritz and Case will only be here one year, this is their last. Next year fully expect the team to take a QB if they finished in top 10. Savage is playing like a guy who missed 1,000 days of football. You can see the talent at times but you can also see the lack of reps.

No doubt about it, with all the guaranteed money in that contract, he will never have to work a day in his life even if he lives to 150!

What is wrong with Clowney? I have been out of town and it seems BOB is tight lipped about it. Thanks.

How many plays have we seen with Clowney and Watt on the field at the same time? Maybe 5 and every one of them was a big play by one or the other.

Maybe I'm giving a rookie head coach too much credit but I'm beginning to think that BoB knows what he has in his front seven and doesn't want everyone else in the league to see too much before the start of the season. If they are really that good it could translate into a couple of early wins before opponents figure out how to adjust their schemes.

True that about B'OB. He is tight lipped. I can see JJ hammering RGIII with a strip sack and Clowney picking it up and running for 6!! The real season can't get here soon enough.

Clowney had a neck stinger last week. They are trying to give it as much time as possible to calm down.

I know it was the last pre-season game but wow did we look bad.
