This season the Texans were expecting to get something out of Kevin Johnson. He played the second cornerback spot during the
preseason
Kahale Warring Jersey 2019 , suffering a memorable yet horrific tumble against the San Francisco 49ers. He was ready to start the season, but only played 65 snaps
before suffering another concussion.Johnson was placed on Injured Reserve after
Week One’s loss to the Patriots; all Bill O’Brien had to say was that the corner
would miss a lot of time. The injury led to a lot of rejiggering in the
secondary. Shareece Wright, Mike Tyson, Kareem Jackson moving back to safety,
things of that nature. Now Johnson is smiling on the sideline, but he’s still
not off IR. After Houston added D’Onta Foreman and Kayvon Webster back to the 53
man roster, it’s now certain that IR is where he’ll remain for the 2018 season.
Here are our thoughts on Johnson’s past, what may happen after this season, and
if he’s the worst draft pick during the O’Brien era.bigfatdrunk:Diehard

Kahale Warring Jersey Mens , Ed Reed, and Johnny Robinson were selected to be busted in bronze. After the news broke, the people who look for a Houston Texans slant in
everything said, and by said, I mean took to social media, things like “Former
Houston Texan” Ed Reed selected to the 2019 Pro Football Hall of Fame. This
isn’t true. Ed Reed isn’t a former Houston Texan. Ed Reed is a former Baltimore
Raven. He played 11 seasons there, and there he was named to five first team
All-Pro teams, and nine Pro Bowls, the last of which was in 2013, which was also
his last year in Baltimore. After that season he was a free agent. The Texans
signed him instead of resigning their own, Glover Quin, who is still an
excellent starter in Detroit. The idea was Reed would be some super secret Tom
Brady/Peyton Manning warlock who could vanquish both by presence alone, and get
Houston above and beyond that impassable Divisional Round peak. This didn’t
happen. This was an extremely stupid idea. One of the dumbest ideas a
historically dumb franchise has ever had. Houston went 2-14. Reed was released
before he could even play against Brady and Manning. Shilo Keo started instead.
The Texans lost 31-34 and 13-37 in those games. It’s important to remember that
man wasn’t Ed Reed. That was a 35 year old safety who collected one last pay
check before never playing football again. He was in shambles. He walked off the
set of the Walking Dead. He had the hips of a 14 year old German Shepard, and
after offseason surgery really didn’t even want to make it back by week
one
Youth Kahale Warring Jersey , let alone play at all whatsoever. On the field he was lifeless. Standing way back there thirty yards off the ball, doing as little as
possible only if doing nothing at all counts as doing as little as possible. In
Houston he had 16 tackles in 7 games. That’s it. No interceptions. No passes
defensed. Nothing. This wasn’t Ed Reed. This was a pillowcase made from the same
skin, a phantom, an action figure, a caricature, a cardboard cutout, a hologram,
it was a thing that looked like Ed Reed, but wasn’t Ed Reed, the Hall of Fame
safety, and one of the greatest defensive players in the history of the league.
One day Andre Johnson will be elected into the Hall of Fame. The Texans’ first
spectacular player, spent the majority of his career in Houston, until Bill
O’Brien told him he wouldn’t get more than 40 catches in the Texans’ 2015 super
offense led by Brian Hoyer and Ryan Mallett, and instead gave them to Nate
Washington. So Johnson left and went to Indy
White Kahale Warring Jersey , and was bad, and then played in Tennessee, where he was also bad, and quit mid year, but also somehow caught a game winning touchdown
catch against Detroit. And when this day comes Colts and Titans people will say
former Colt/Titan Andre Johnson was elected into the NFL Hall of Fame, and you
will be upset, these words were hurt, enrage you even, but where were you when
former Houston Texan Ed Reed was inducted to the Pro Football Hall of Fame? As
awful as this franchise has been, and as good as they’ve been at losing more
games than winning, these aren’t the stretches that need to be taken to give
this team relevancy. One day all that will happen. This isn’t that time. There’s
no Hall of Fame attachment here. Nothing to remember. Reed isn’t a former
Houston Texan. He isn’t a former New York Jet. He’s a former Baltimore
Raven.
