-- Hey CP - Where exactly are you with regards to Justin Houston?
I know it's not popular, but; I'm SO cool w/ him not being here next season. Let me start w/ I LOVE Justin, but it's time for an entire agitation (as far as I'm concerned) -- You guys know how much I loved him, from UGA and what not. Fell to us in the draft after a Marijuana case, and he learned from it!
Don't get it twisted - my opinion is ALL BUSINESS. We will NEVER replace JH next year regarding talent - but if we can SORT of 'come close' w/ regards to a replacement, then I'll be cool. I think if those were the cases; we can add another stud w/ just a slight sub par replacement (at that position) and also: (the ability to add another quality positional starter) I'd like to hear from my people, here. If this were to happen - we all know JH will be just fine in finding work w/o reducing to sacking groceries at the Winn Dixie. Thanks all! |
Restructure or be gone. Just business. Getting paid like your a top defensive player in the whole NFL. But your at best average these days.

Blinded by his contract. Something has to be done with that. If not, bye.

I honestly think Houston is the best defender we have. I also think he is a better pash rusher than Ford. Losing him makes this D alot worse.

I get it though - like you; we're all sold on him primarily being a pass-rusher, but he does a lot of intangibles well. That's hard to find out there. |

Personally, I’d say keep him and tag and trade ford if it’s one or the other. Hopefully they draft a pass rusher with one of the first 3 picks and I’d rather have Houston mentoring them than Ford. Also, we could release him the following year with no real cap loss, so there isn’t much risk in keeping him another year. If he is willing to restructure then I think keeping him is a no brained. Him being on the field is partially why Ford had such a good season.
This scheme will also help Kpass and speaks, so we have options on the roster as well to replace Ford, who has missed a ton of time anyways. Houston’s injury was by contact, and had the chiefs handled his return table better, he wouldn’t have re-tore it and missed more time. Ford has had back issues and countless nagging injuries. |

Kpass was asked to lose weight for his OLB switch. He was deactivated the last several games of the season. Anyone think they already knew about the switch to a 4-3 and just shut him down for the year to start preparing his body for the scheme change?
