In this series we are going to look at the potential free agents of the Houston Texans, and figure out if they work into the plans for the coming years….
One of the most valuable Houston Texans on the team, starting center ChrisMyers has been one of the top if not the best offensive lineman for the Texans since coming to Houston in 2008. Myers who is considered under sized for a NFL lineman at 6’4″ and 285 lbs, but is a perfect fit the Texans zone scheme.
Since putting on a Texans jersey, Myers has started all 64 regular season games for the Texans and 2 playoff games. He has been a constant force in the Texans running game, and after an embarassing game againt the New York Jets and Kris Jenkins, Myers has been nothing short of amazing. His ability to handle bigger nose tackles, and ability to move laterally to reach 3 techniques is impressive.
Since coming to Houston the Texans running game ranks per game:
2008 115.4 (13th)
2009 92.2 (30th)
2010 127.6 (7th)
2011 ...

Over the past few weeks you have been hearing about the Jets cap space problem, the problem being they had no cap space.

February 23, 2012
New York Jets coach Rex Ryan admitted that running his mouth last season left his team running on empty.

It would seem that Rex Ryan is seeing the err of his ways, but that really isn’t the case. Ya see, at this time last year, the New York Jets head coach took to the podium at the NFL Scouting Combine and guaranteed that the Jets would win the Super Bowl. Now, the guarantee in itself shouldn’t be knocked. After all, who doesn’t want to see confidence from their coach or players...

If we lined up and went to camp tomorrow and Ive got all three of those guys back in line and I know who my (No.) 1 is, I think what I would do is I would tell T.J. and Matt go back and battle...
