He was actually good in Houston too. Wonder what happened. |
I'm starting to wonder if he only did good because of how good everyone else on that line was. They had the best line in the league, hands down. |
There is a reason why Houston let him leave. |
So is that why Houston let Eric Winston leave too? The reason the Texans didn't bring both players back is because they don't have the cap space to do so. They have a lot of good young players needing new contracts. |
Well I guess they're replaceable, much like Mario.

Nah.. I remember Texan fans were pretty consensus on the fact that Brisiel was tough, but average at best. In fact most if not all of them agreed he was the weakest player on that line. Looks like an orange, tastes like an orange, it's an orange. I see exactly what they saw.
Wisniewski needs to go back to guard. Carlisle needs to leave already. A center of legitimate skill needs to be picked up, RT too. When those moves are done maybe just maybe this line can approach average. Replacing Brisiel with a better player could also help, because the guy is average at best and was a total wreck today.
And that is only the woes of the Oline.. Wow.
Allen and McKenzie really did very little to improve this team. I see that now. Even the moves they made have added little to nothing. No matter the realm of excuses they could use, they still have done very little well so far. |

But he didn't sign for a lot. |

He's a ZBS RG that signed for 5 million a year here I think? The Texans don't have the cap space to pay that.

I really doubt Texan fans would say that. He developed into a quality starter for them during his last 2 seasons after a rough start to his career.

That's exactly what almost all of them said, in their forum, right when we signed him. Feel free to go ask. |

Living in Texas, I watch a lot of Texans games. He probably felt more comfortable with the line around him, but from an individual standpoint, he did his job very well. It also helps when good run plays are being called. |
So when did you leave the bay area? Just kidding, i'm sure you're not who they think you are. |
Born and raised in Fresno until 2 years ago when I had to move to Austin. Couldn't find work in CA after some poor life choices. I love it here though.

Yea I actually remember Texan's fans saying that too. They said he was just average.
Funny thing is, he hasn't even been average for us. He's been pretty bad, and playing next to Willie Smith isn't helping him.

Either go to the forum and ask for yourself, or give it a rest. |

Geez. Fans like to undersell players when leaving their team. I saw him open up huge holes for the Texans rushing attack. Elitetexan seems pretty knowledgeable. I'll ask him what he thinks.

You say that like this was his only bad game.
No point in cutting him, but he ain't coming back. |
Why isn't he coming back? They could extend him for a value contract. He's a role player. YOu have to have those. Not every player can be a start and he's one of the better players on defense.

I agree. Considering he signed here for a 1 year contract, we should still be able to bring him back for a reasonable deal to at least give us depth.

There was literally no way Reggie could have improved this team talent wise. Now coaching is a different story, but I don't see how anyone but AD can get the blame for the current state of our roster, he left Reggie nothing to work with, an I mean nothing.

Exactly. And you can't fix the entire roster in 1 offseason, so you need some holdovers.
