Texans/Moulds agree to contract **OFFICAL**

[Farmer Bernie 0]

No link, just a bunch of buzz on the Texans message boards. It starts at post #497

 

Seems WIP in Philly and NBC 2 in Houston are saying that Moulds and the Texas have reached a contract agreement.

 

All that's left is for Houston and Buffalo to reach a trade agreement. I believe Buf was asking for a 4th or 5th rounder.

This is a nice pickup for them. Definitely solidifies their WR corps.

Great pick up for the Texans. I really thought Moulds would end up in Philly but i guess they are pressing forward with the guys they have.

David Carr's prospects just keep looking better all the time. It appears the new coaching staff is going to put an offensive line in front of him that won't allow him to be sacked every other down. It's also very likely they will draft Reggie Bush who IMO is a lock for 6+ receiving TDs next year. Give him some time and AJ and Moulds wide, Carr is a legit 20+ TD guy this year.

Wow with that O-line he should score 2-4 TDs!

Money.

 

yup

[Gabriel Balcavienga 0]

supposedly he created a list of 5 teams he wanted to play for - the eagles being one of them along with seattle and other winning teams. i dont think any of them wanted him so he took the money from houston.

This is a definite win, win situation for all involved!

What have they done for the offensive line? All I have heard is that Dan Reeves thought the problems with the offensive line stemmed from the simplistic blocking schemes they were using all of last year. I haven't watched them too closely in free agency but I can't recall them signing any of the stud offensive lineman available.

Carr couldn't be a legit 20 TD guy with Moss, Jerry Rice in his prime, TO and Marvin Harrison as WR's. He sucks. He's a coward and puss. His O-line takes the heat for his cowardice. The POS runs out of bounds for losses=sacks. That's not the line's fault that he can't read a defense and runs when he should pass. He has single handedly ruined the career of Andre Johnson who is totally fed up with the loser.

The signed Mike Flannigan to play C, which moves Seth McKinney from C to G, his natural position. Expect them to cut Todd Wade and make a play for some OL in the draft, especially in the 2nd or 3rd rounds (or both).

Add in the addition of legitimate offensive threats - a legit WR2 (Moulds), a pass catching TE (Putzier) and an all-around game breaker (Bush) - and I believe they've done quite a bit to improve the offense and consequently make the OL better.

I don't think it all has to do with personnel. Firstly, they've hired Kubiak, who will bring over the Denver blocking schemes. Secondly, as someone else mentioned, Dan Reeves noted that part of the problem could be the scheme they used to be using, so obviously upgrading the schemes with the same personnel should help. Secondly, they added Mike Flanagan who provides a veteran presence at center and should help upgrade the line a little. I doubt they're done adding people yet, either.

correct me if im wrong but have the Texans only dropped OL so far?

this site is a great resource which i havent kept up with enough but i dont think i have heard ANY OLmen signed by them so far.....

 

 

sure, dropping the crap they have now is a good sign but there have been far too many good OLmen moved and not one to Houston so far

Lee Evans will only drop in production....

 

Moulds was still their best WR....and demanded double teams every play...

 

Lee Evens could turn out somewhat like Price who couldnt handle being the number 1 guy...

 

the Bills have so many holes...QB issues, O-line trouble, unproven WRs ...these all will only hurt Evans...He will now see double teams each game, we will just have to see how he responds to it.

Moulds would be dumb not to accept less money to play for the Eagles.

 

You've had to sit on a team without a decent QB for basically your whole career to go to a team that's even worse and who already has a #1 WR.

To compare Lee Evans to Price is not even close. Don't sell Evans short his biggest problem is the guy who is throwing the ball to him.

Sounds like a done deal

Does this make D. Carr a legit fantasy starter? After 2004 I thought he may be on his way but last season was a major regression.....

No, but he's a great guy to take a gamble on as a QB2 later in the draft.

Reports are 4-years/$12 million. Pending physical.

 

No word yet on whether Houston gave up a 4th or 5th round pick.

Texans: Moulds deal not done yet

 

The News

Despite earlier reports, wide receiver Eric Moulds has not come to terms with the Houston Texans on a restructured contract, according to Harry Henderson, Moulds' agent. WGR 550 AM radio in Buffalo also reported Thursday evening that Bills vice president of communications Scott Berchtold said inital reports of the trade were false.

 

Our View

This news doesn't necessarily kill any hopes the Texans have of signing Moulds, but both sides will need to agree on a multi-year deal before the trade can proceed. For the time being, the Eagles are still in the running for Moulds. We'll keep you up to date with any new information as this story develops.

Also, the Bills might as well keep him at that price.

Some pretty telling quotes from Moulds' agent. Looks like this thing will finally be finalized on Monday.

Provided they acquire Moulds, I believe Carr would be a solid no.2 guy with potential to be a fantasy starter. They signed Putzier who can stretch the field as their TE, Moulds woudl help out AJ plus they still have Domanick Davis not to mention Reggie Bush assuming they take him at no.1. They did sign Flanagan to help the o-line. Yeah, he's an older player but if he's healthy, he can make the Pro Bowl.

 

It seems like the Texans fnally have a clue and are helping their QB, it's about time!

Thank you thank you...I guarded Eric Moulds in the turf room for one play! He juked once, i spun on my arse, the weight coach threw a horrible pass - INCOMPLETE! Jocstrap 1 - - Moulds 0

All I know is Lee Evans will have a tough time this year, with all the attention on him and still no clue who his QB is going to be week to week

What should the Texans do with their #1 pick? This has been bothering me since I heard about the "best 3" players in the draft being a RB & 2 QBs.

 

Texans have Carr & a very good DD. Wouldn't it make more sense for them to massage themselves down a peg or three and take the Brick? Even high third round picks & brick should benefit them more than another RB.

From what I understand, this is a fairly deep tackle draft so I don't necessarily think they would have to take Ferguson although he's the best offensive lineman in the draft. They do need some d-lineman as I believe they cut both Payne and Walker. They played a 3-4 under Capers but now that he's gone and Kubiak is in, I would imagine they would go to a 4-3 defense. I could see them taking Mario Williams to give them much needed pass rush or Ferguson to help the o-line. I don't necessarily think they need Bush seeing as Davis is a very good RB but if they believe he's an elite guy who will become a perennial Pro Bowler, then I think they'll pull the trigger and take him.

Now if can get some O-line help, their offense is looking pretty darn nice. Call me crazy, but I think this move is a prelude to the signing of D'Brick. I have to imagine that the Texans either palnned to adress their O-line in FA, and then draft Bush as an offensive weapon in the first round, or to sign an offensive weapon in FA and adress the O-line in the draft. To me it looks like they chose the latter.
