Houston Texans Morning Huddle–More Osweiler Doubt
By Josh McSwain
Here are your daily Houston Texans stories for this Sunday (T-14):
Is Osweiler really the guy by Robert Molnar, Cover32; article from Yahoo
"With all of the above being said, I cannot say that I am overly confident in the potential that Brock Osweiler brings to the Houston Texans. While he is no doubt a talented quarterback, the contract given to him with the expectations that many have for Osweiler are both too high for the type of player Osweiler is."
Seems like all the Osweiler critics have come out this week. PFF said that adding him was the worst move of the offseason, which our Bob Dove disagrees with. Personally, I think it’s unfair to expect him to instantly transform into a franchise quarterback, but he does need to be better than the carousel of mediocre at best the Texans had last year.
Football Helped Kamalu Assimilate by Tania Ganguli, ESPN
"Though Kamalu spoke English, the slang and idioms used by people in his new home in Fayetteville, Georgia, were hard to follow. And football was foreign to him.But ultimately, football was part of what helped Kamalu feel comfortable in America. Now he’s among the Texans’ class of undrafted rookies hoping to carve a niche for himself on the roster."

Was Hollings the worst pick ever by Houston? by Battle Red Blog
"I don’t know about you, but I clearly remember being excited about the Hollings pick when it was made. Joy in the immediate aftermath of a draft selection is, of course, no precursor to greatness, as we’ve learned all too many times. Still, even with the benefit of hindsight, I don’t think I’d go so far as to call Hollings the worst pick the franchise has ever made. There are too many other players I’d consider to be far more horrendous selections. Indeed, our own BFD declared three other players to be bigger draft busts than Hollings back when he looked at the situation several years ago."
Some worthwhile challengers to Hollings. I think I’d go with Travis Johnson myself.
