The Texans drafted Nick Martin in the second round back in
2015. It¡¯s the fourth year of his rookie
contract
http://www.thetexanslockerroom.com/authentic-senio-kelemete- jersey ,
meaning it¡¯s time to pay the prophet, as Martin would be an unrestricted free
agent after the 2019 season. Now, Martin hasn¡¯t been a good center for Houston.
He¡¯s a crappy run blocker who struggles at reaching the shoulder with strength
and doesn¡¯t block the second level well. He¡¯s a fine pass blocker, but a pass
blocking center is like a designated hitter with speed. It¡¯s cool and all, but
it¡¯s not as important as hitting. Rather than wait the rest of the season to see
if Martin improves, Bill O¡¯Brien and his Articles Of Confederation bet on Martin
to improve this season, signing him to a 3-year, $33 million extension with
$18.35 million guaranteed.This is something that shouldn¡¯t have happened. Martin
plays a non-premium position and isn¡¯t even an above average player at a
position where he¡¯s now being paid like a top five player. The only reason for
this extension is that Martin is a Bill O¡¯Brien guy. O¡¯Brien dreams of a great
quarterback-center configuration that can play together for a decade. He has the
quarterback in Deshaun Watson. He doesn¡¯t have the center but he just paid Nick
Martin as though he is that player.The botched and terrible offseason for the
Texans just keeps getting better. The Pro Bowl happened yesterday, and by saying
it happened is like saying a tree fell down when you are going along a nice
forest stroll and there¡¯s a bark carcass snapped over the trail.
Sure
Trevor
Daniel Jersey , the tree fell down. Sure, the Pro Bowl happened. But did
it really happen?The only thing of importance to come from it was this. Deshaun
Watson threw a touchdown pass to Jalen Ramsey. Pass rush doesn¡¯t exist. No
sizing anyone up on the outside. Ramsey runs a slant I guess. This isn¡¯t
football so football things we say like run a route, or pass set, or drop step,
don¡¯t have any real attachment to reality. Watson threw a pass, in the sense
that the ball left his hand and traveled in the air as a result of the force he
put on it, but this isn¡¯t football, so it really isn¡¯t a pass. And they said it
was a touchdown, which isn¡¯t really even a touchdown. Watch the clip below. The
AFC ¡®coach¡¯ was Anthony Lynn. Now Lynn is actually the Head Coach of the Los
Angeles
Chargers
Womens
Aaron Colvin Jersey , he isn¡¯t the head coach of the AFC, and I love him
very much for making this thing happen. He allowed this to occur in between two
sidelines. Thank you Mr. Lynn. This is important in the fact that Jalen Ramsey
is a top five defensive back, but is a mercurial personality. He hates playing
on a losing team. The blues can crawl up his sleeves when Blake Bortles is
missing wide open seam routes. Last year he was anxious and upset, and for good
reason, the Jaguars fell from the AFC Championship, a game they should have won,
to a puddle of dumpster water made from the freshest squeezed corpses. I love
Ramsey, not only because he¡¯s incredible and is one of the best in the league in
what he does, but how he plays. He¡¯s a pair of sweaty crunchy socks stuck to
blistered cover feed thirsting for moleskin. His arms are long and equipped with
echolocation. Press coverage is easy when you have a chest as strong as his. The
mouth piece dangling because of constant yapping. And when he yaps he doesn¡¯t
hesitate to say how he really
feels
Womens
Martinas Rankin Jersey , unlike the rest of us sheep, who are forced to
keep it boiling inside. As much as Ramsey talks, he has nothing but pleasantries
for DeAndre Hopkins and Deshaun Watson. Said Ramsey of Watson this past
offseason. Said Ramsey of Hopkins this past offseason. This is all fan fiction.
BUT the Houston Texans need defensive back help. They have none of it. If
Jacksonville doesn¡¯t grab a competent quarterback and Ramsey is once again
toiling in misery why would he want to stay? Why would he want to continue to go
up against Watson and Hopkins every year, when free agency exists, when first
round picks exist? What some saw yesterday as a cute thing in a football
masquerade, I see a crack. A trickle of water. Expansion from freezing. Time.
Friendship and respect. I see a future that I want to see.
