It’s April 20, 2002, and our very own Houston Texans are prepared to make the first overall pick of the NFL Draft. The buzz was there. The hype was there. The poise and confidence of the man who put on the draft day hat was there. And God only knows the amount of excited fans, waiting to hear the name called from Mr. Tagliabue’s mouth. Friends, this was the beginning of what has become known as- the David Carr era.
Coming out of Fresno State, the 6′3″, 215 lbs. prodigy quarterback was ready to join the ranks of number one picks, but more [...]

  In 2005, he sat. In 2006, he sat. In 2007, he sat. This has been the case for Boston College product, Tim Bulman. Bulman has seen his fair share of action throughout his four year career, the only problem with that is, it’s been from the sideline. Well, coming 2008, Bulman won’t be sitting. The 6′4″, 292 lbs. defensive tackle is out on a mission. No, not another tour of getting the starters their Gatorade and cold towels, but rather be the one who is ACCEPTING the Gatorade and towels. Tim Bulman is here. To stay.

As most of us know, former Patriots’ OLB Rosevelt Colvin was recently signed by the Texans. Congats to the team as we pick up ANOTHER (Chaun Thompson) above par linebacker to add to what is easily a top 10 LB corps in the league. Colvin gives something to the Texans, though, that no other linebacker has to show for- his size. At 6′3″, 250 lbs, Colvin is now the biggest linebacker on the squad, more so, he possesses the veteran leadership and experience (10 yr. pro) that the youngest D in the league may need to move to the [...]

For the first time in Houston Texans history, one position appears to be too deep with talent- the backfield.

     Entering their seventh offseason, the Houston Texans appear to be in the midst of solving a long overdue problem- generating a solid ground game. One could possibly argue that 2004’s tandem of Domanick Williams (Davis) and Jonathan Wells did just about as much as any GM could ask for (1450+ yards combined) from a backfield, but then again, that was 2004. The expectations have now been raised- drastically. Instead of planning for a decent run attack focusing on a single, every-down [...]

Hello, welcome to Toro Times, a new Fan-Sided Blogs website dedicated to helping fans keep up with the Houston Texans throughout the entire year. I am John R.
