CONNOR BARWIN RUMORS

The Trifecta: Who Gets an Extension?

With the draft talk starting to die down, sadly, things have begun to shift to the current roster for the Texans. And after an offseason of multiple free agent losses, the primary concern has fallen on a trio of upcoming 2013 free agents that fans are already worried about losing. In what I’ve labeled “The Trifecta,” these three players are left tackle Duane Brown...

Houston Texans select Whitney Mercilus, Grade B

Whitney Mercilus is a decent value pick for the Houston Texans here, but I don’t think it was the home run they needed to improve their chances of competing for the Super Bowl in 2012.

In addition to dealing with guys whose contracts have expired, the club has several key starters who are set to hit the open market in 2013 and whom they would like to lock up long term this spring. Leading the list...

Praise for POTM Connor Barwin long overdue

Connor Barwin was typically secondary to the main story. With the hiring of Wade Phillips as defensive coordinator, the Texans switched to a 3-4 alignment and moved two defensive ends to outside linebacker. Of course Mario Williams, the top pick of the 2006 draft, garnered the lion's share of attention despite the fact he and Barwin were being asked to attack from a two-point...
