Texans Waive RB Chris Taylor (1 Viewer)

The cut of Chris Taylor makes no sense unless the Texans are looking to acquire Dayne or someone else ...

 
I think that this would be a definate possibility - I don't think we need to jump down the guy's throat, I think one of the more valuable aspects of this forum is getting instant homer news.

But I would, however, ask for a clearer definition of "buzz" - sports talk radio can put on a lot of crap sometimes. Are they saying that this deal is done? About to be done? Being discussed?

 
I cannot see how Dayne would get playing time over Lundy and Morency. If he looked so horrible in Denver with that line, how will he look in Hou?

Maybe depth.

 
I don't think this has anything to do with a trade.

The Texans, by virtue of their worst record, have first dibs on players on waivers and it's likely they plan to pick up someone who was recently released.

It's stuff like this that makes me come to this board over all others.Of course this information is not final or anything, but here in Knoxville, TN I don't get radio talk about Texans football. I appreciate it Oldfootbal. Let us know if you find out anything else.
 
They have put their waiver claims in for today. They acquired 4 and released 5. Trade is the more likely scenario today. Tomorrow they may want to renegotiate the contract of a veteran.

It is streamed. You can listen on 610am KILT in Houston. Go to their website.
 
these 2 rbs and 2qb depth charts are making madden 07 roster editing a pain in the butt

hmmm would this be an improvement for Brown if it happens?

Just last night, "oldfootball" was arguing with me and telling me that Chris Taylor would start for the Texans at some point. In fact, he made this claim on numerous threads. Funny that he would have the nerve to even post this and not even mention that he was DEAD WRONG!!!!

Hey Oldfootball...What happended to this guy being the second coming of DD? What happended to this guy being Kubiak's "favorite"? Admit that were are wrong and avoid the embarassment.

Chris Taylor will most likely clear waivers and be placed on the practice squad. He is a good long-term play. I have recommended that he should be stashed deep on somebody's dynasty squad or worth a late round (20th) flyer if he made the 50 man roster. Not sure where you got "the second coming of DD".

In my ideal world, your posting priviledges would be suspended for this, and this post would be pinned to the top of the Shark Pool as an example of what not to do.

Davenport could not even make the Packers ( and it s not like they have decent RBs Green is finished and Gado is Gado worthless ) and he could not beat those guys .As a RB 3 i would bring him in , but not to compete as a starter .

If that didn't do it, I'm sure giving the old :rolleyes: to the admin did.
 
Since we are talking "fantasy" football, if this "fantasy" trade were to occur how would it affect Chris Brown's value?

I think he would be given every chance to be the guy. I don't know hwo he would fit into one cut and go style of running.On the flip side if this trade happened how would it impact Lendale White and Travis Henry ?

Well, I'm not going to pin it.
 
Looks like Kubiak may just have preferred Dayne to Taylor, knowing he was going to have first crack at the waiver wire.

I can't see them acquiring another back after adding Dayne.

From RW....

Texans may give undrafted rookie back a chance

Chris Taylor - RB - HOU - Nov. 27 - 7:33 pm et

Texans coach Gary Kubiak said Monday that practice squad running back Chris Taylor is likely to get a chance at carries down the stretch.

With nothing working in Houston's backfield at this point, Taylor has an opportunity for a significant role, ala Wali Lundy earlier this year. We'd put in a waiver claim for Taylor, an undrafted rookie and favorite of coach Kubiak, in deep and dynasty leagues.

He was cut, but subsequently signed to the practice squad. Based on the Kubiak quote, he may get some PT down the stretch, although as noted in another thread, he won't be activitated this week.
 
So is D. Davis done in Houston? Or will this be yet, still another RBBC for next year between Lundy, Brown, and Davis? :X

Opinion: I think if DD is healthy he's the starter and the other guys just spell him. The "if he's healthy" is the big questionmark to me.

Absent a VERY strong performance by one of Lundy, Gado or Taylor, my guess is that there will be a new RB sheriff in town next year. Davis may be brought back to compete if healthy, but it will likely be well into the offseason before they know that. I imagine team brass will thus address the situation in FA or via the rookie draft.

Can anyone think of another RB who missed an entire year of football to a degenerative knee condition (as opposed to a single acute injury) and returned to any kind of success? I've got to think that DD's not got much left to contribute on the field.

Deshaun Foster would be the guy who comes to mind as having had the most success with such a condition, though he hasn't ever lived up to the potential that was seen for him.I agree I wouldn't bank on DD. But I think it's probably he's either not in the mix (or on the team), or he's the starter. I've got him stashed on IR in a keeper league but am relatively sure I'll cut him if I can't find someone willing to trade for him (unlikely).
