Do you think WADE will be our starting LG?

Piller is in house for discussions, isn't he?

Good post Schneed, I agree with what you're saying.

I agree too, but I would like for anyone who still has the game to go back and look at the first 3rd and 1/2 a yard of the game for the skins. That is a perfect example of just what Dockery was supposedly good at. After watching that, please tell me your thoughts...

Yea I think he will be. If we trade down in the draft, one of the later picks we get will probably be a guard to develop behind him.

Does a bear scratch his back on tree trunks?

He was cut because of injury, not performance.

well you can say what you want,I live in Houston and they were never happy with him

Houston acquired Wade as an unrestricted free agent in the spring of 2004, rewarding the former Miami Dolphins starter with a six-year, $30 million contract that included a $10 million signing bonus. Over two years, the Texans paid Wade $12 million in bonuses and salaries, but he never lived up to expectations as the Houston line continued to struggle.


Wade, 29, appeared in 14 games in 2004, his first season in Houston, starting 13 times at right tackle. He started the first nine contests in 2005 but then suffered a torn knee ligament and was placed on injured reserve for the balance of the season. But even when healthy, Wade's sub-par performances were symbolic of the longstanding problems of a porous Texans offensive line.

Yeah but those morons clearly don't know how to put together a decent offensive line. You have to wonder how much Wade was affected by the crappy offensive line coaching and the crappy teammates he had around him.

Before he got to Houston, he definitely had to be doing something right to earn a $30 million contract. And that was 2004 dollars.

I think he's a solid player, but the Texans' staff under Capers just had no effing clue about offensive line play.

Yeah it's not like Houston is known for their outstanding offensive lines, that's for sure.

Hell no! Wade isn't built to play OG. And you have to pay for quality backup at the OT position when you don't have draft picks and they're not a lot FAs.

As long as the coaches adjust the schemes to take advantage of Wade's skills and don't ask him to do what Dockery was good at, then it'll probably work out decently for us.Uh yeah. The same way we used Archuleta to his strengths.

well maybe Wade will work out for us,I sure hope so,I'm just saying he was subpar in houston

The contract one is offered is not necessarily indicative of his actual value or performance.

We've jettisoned several players who can attest to that.
