Enemy No. 1 for Jones: he never felt pressure

Via Fox Sports Houston  |  May 01, 2012
Last training camp I grabbed Jacoby Jones as he walked off the practice field. I wanted to talk to him about his new contract. The Texans had just signed him for 10.5 million over three years, and there seemed to be some meaning in that. Kind of a "Just so we're clear on this, we're expecting a 10 million receiver out of you" sort of message. I asked him if he...

HOUSTON—The current peril of WR/KR specialist Jacoby Jones is proof that there is a difference between making mistakes in regular season games and making mistakes in playoff games. Jones was released today by the Texans after making numerous blunders in their second round playoff loss to the Baltimore Ravens.

Texans release Jacoby Jones

HOUSTON - The Houston Texans have reportedly released wide receiver Jacoby Jones. Jones' last game as a Texan was a loss in the playoffs to the Baltimore Ravens, a game in which he fumbled a punt which led to a Ravens touchdown. In five years with the Texans Jones never developed into a reliable number two receiver opposite Andre Johnson. Jones has 11 career receiving touchdowns...

The Houston Texans released wide receiver Jacoby Jones on Tuesday, according to John McClain of the Houston Chronicle. Reports surfaced over the weekend that the Texans were trying to trade Jones for a draft pick, but nothing came to fruition.

Texans waive WR Jacoby Jones after 5 seasons

Via AP on Fox  |  May 01, 2012
The Houston Texans have waived receiver Jacoby Jones after five seasons. The 6-foot-2, 212-pound Jones caught only 31 passes for 512 yards last season, while star receiver Andre Johnson spent much of the year recovering from injuries. The Texans drafted Ohio State receiver DeVier Posey in the third round and Michigan State's Keshawn Martin in the fourth, making Jones expendable...

Texans' GM succeeding behind the scenes

Via Fox Sports Houston  |  May 03, 2012
Usually it is Bob McNair, the owner, in the locker room after the game talking to reporters. The job suits him. He's got that whole old-guy Texas way about him, with the slow, pebbled drawl. Then it goes to Gary Kubiak, the coach, another native Houstonian. He's younger, but he's got that thing, too. And then there is Rick Smith, the general manager. He's not from...

Houston Texans 2012 Draft Grades: Pass With Flying Colors

Round 1, Pick 26 – Whitney Mercilus (OLB/DE) With their first pick, Houston selected Whitney Mercilus, OLB from Illinois. Mercilus is a speed demon. He will bring an unrivaled amount of athleticism to the defensive front, and provide consistent pressure on the quarterback. Mercilus may not be an immediate starter, but expect to see him rotate in and get substantial playing time...

Houston Texans 2012 Schedule Breakdown

The Houston Texans earned the first playoff berth in franchise history in 2011, as they went 10-6 and won the AFC South, and also added a playoff win in the Wild Card round against the Cincinnati Bengals. Having quarterback Matt Schaub and wide receiver Andre Johnson back healthy after both missed significant time last season makes even further improvement possible in 2012, and...

Houston Texans 2012 Draft Grades

Via The Football Fan Spot  |  May 02, 2012
26. RLB Whitney Mercilus AI actually had Whitney Mercilus as my 6th rated prospect. I think he’s the best pass rusher in this draft class. He’s got a great motor and worked himself up the draft chart to have 22.5 tackles for loss, 16 sacks, and 9 forced fumbles last season. He’s a refined pass rusher and a great athlete. He could have an Aldon Smith type impact right away....
