The 2020 NFL Offseason is pretty much over. It’s time to hang out and safely enjoy the sun until season previews are published and training camps open up, if they ever do it all. The Texans have resigned their own players, they’ve made trades, they sifted through free agency, completed the 2020 NFL Draft, and I still am perplexed by what they were trying to accomplish.

To find some greater clarity to discover what the plan was, if there was even a plan at all, Rivers McCown and bigfatdrunk hopped on the podcast to review the Texans overall offseason, and search for some deeper meaning. Topics include: the need for speed, if hearts have changed since the DeAndre Hopkins trade, what Tim Kelly and Anthony Weaver add to the team, which defensive prayer is most likely to be answered, how Houston fits in the rest of the AFC South, and most importantly, the joys of Deshaun Watson.

The tsunami of free agency has already crashed upon the shore. The NFL Draft is over. The meat and potatoes of the 2020 NFL offseason have been devoured. Now is the time for big sky living, grass hill sitting, to be fully in tune with the right here and right now. Football resides solely in nostalgia, and remembering what was. Soon we will close our virtual doors down, scrape the content barrel, and think about the before, but now, now is as good of a time as ever to review what has occurred this offseason, and where the NFL stands before poolside sipping.

In this episode Matt and Taylor rank all teams 32-1 and separate them into four groups, rebuilding, maybe, just maybe, playoff hopefuls, and contenders. Topics include: the pretty days ahead for the Cincinnati kitty-kats, the sad state of affairs in Chicago, if Arizona or Houston scores more points, the impending drama in the AFC South, and how much per year does Dak really deserve.

Everything is in and of itself. Without the opposite, a reference point, it’s impossible to have the other. You can’t have love without hate, or courage without cowardice, or, in this case, constantly hating Bill O’Brien without understanding what he does well.

The Texans’ fanbase is split among those who decided that O’Brien isn’t the person to get the Texans past the Divisional Round after years of first down runs, sticking to awful tall and white or athletically limited and intelligent quarterbacks and wasting the prime of J.J. Watt’s career, Alfred Blue 183 carry seasons, the inability to work with others, stagnated ball control offenses, being flat out unprepared in big games, not utilizing skill players well, and of course, now that he’s the general manager, this means getting crappy value in the trades made, and acting in a myopic and desperate manner.

Those who feel this way are usually too far on this side though, and lose their argument, by failing to admit what O’Brien is good at, and those who still like O’Brien as a head coach, are maybe holding onto embers and antiquated arguments.

Everyone knows about the bad, but the good is rarely discussed. So for this episode, Matt, Carlos, and Texans Thoughts (Jordan). go through and discuss what O’Brien does well, and by doing so, we will all have a better understanding of the Texans’ head coach and general manager.
