Look, we have been trying to be reasonable about this business separation between the Houston Texans and former defensive standout and #1 overall pick, Mario Williams. As we previously talked about a LONG TIME AGO, the idea of the Texans letting Williams walk was a bullet the organization had to bite. Now that he has taken his talents to the Buffalo Toronto Bills (* see note), everything was just fine and it was accepted by the majority of Texans fans that this relationship has come to an end. Fast forward to Williams calling November 4th on Twitter, “Judgment Day”, the day the Bills visit Reliant in a week 9 contest. To make matters worse, in an article on ESPN Williams had some choice words about the fans of Houston. Williams said…   “The funny thing is when I come back to Houston, and I still have love for everybody — the coaches, my teammates and the fans — I get way more recognition now than when I was there, the mindset wasn’t the same when I came here.”...

Texans WR Dwight Jones quits team, football

Via Helmet2Helmet  |  May 29, 2012
Coming out of college, wide receiver Dwight Jones, though talented, had some scouts concerned over his character, with some labeling him "lazy" and others questioning his work ethic. Well, the former UNC standout did nothing to disprove those negative notions. On Tuesday, Jones, who laughably lauded himself as the "next Andre Johnson," informed team officials...

Houston Texans Undrafted Rookie Receiver Dwight Jones Quits Football

Via Gridiron Grit  |  May 29, 2012
It didn’t take long for undrafted rookie wide receiver Dwight Jones to make an impression with the Houston Texans. Jones’ draft stock dropped following a less-than-impressive performance in the Senior Bowl, but in an interview on SportsRadio 610, the big-bodied receiver boldly compared himself to the best player to ever wear a Texans uniform. “I’m telling you right now...

Lights on for Merriman and the Bills

Via The Penalty Flag  |  June 01, 2012
The Buffalo Bills had nothing to lose by signing Shawne Merriman off waivers in 2010, but have yet to see "Lights Out" put together a successful full season. According to the Buffalo News, Merriman completed the entire 90 minute practice yesterday, his first football workout since October. "You know, it's the first day of practice, for me anyway, in a long...

Depth Chart Clues From Day 1 of OTAs

Via Buddy Nixon  |  May 30, 2012
  "Don't worry, Andy, you're not playing LT again, lol" As promised, some talk on the pecking order from yesterday’s first practice: -At QB, Tyler Thigpen got 2nd team reps ahead of Vince Young. This may have been out of respect for Thigpen, which if so, come on, really? Or maybe Buddy wasn’t kidding when he said they brought in Vinsanity to compete for the...

Bills have better times on horizon

Via Fox Sports  |  May 30, 2012
No team has had a longer playoff drought in the NFL than the Buffalo Bills, who haven't been to the postseason since 1999, when they qualified as a wild card entry with an 11-5 record. In the 10 seasons played since the league implemented four-team divisions in 2002, the Bills have averaged just 6.5 victories per year, finished last in the AFC East five times, posted only two...

Gailey: Bills look bigger, faster

Via Pro Sports Daily  |  May 29, 2012
Bills coach Chan Gailey watched his team go through an OTA practice on Tuesday and thought two things. The 2012 version is bigger and faster than the 2011 squad he inherited. And that was with wide receiver Stevie Johnson, outside linebacker Shawne Merriman and defensive tackle Kyle Williams still working their way back from injury. "A lot of energy and a lot of quickness...

Merriman feeling rejuvenated after first practice

Via AP on Fox  |  May 31, 2012
Buffalo Bills defensive end Shawne Merriman is feeling like his ''Lights Out'' self again after participating in his first practice in nearly eight months.

Bills' Merriman cleared to practice

Via Pro Sports Daily  |  May 31, 2012
Linebacker Shawne Merriman was cleared to return practice and was on the field at the Bills' OTA session Thursday.

Bills WR Johnson expected to miss minicamps

Via AP on Fox  |  May 29, 2012

Coach Chan Gailey calls it unlikely for Johnson to be fully cleared until training camp in July. He provided the timetable Tuesday after the Bills held their first voluntary minicamp practice. Johnson did not...
