My family has experienced a rough year with a scary start in the NICU. We’re thankful to close it out healthy and together. Please enjoy my attempt at telling the story.

“What a Difference a Year Makes” by Martin Marroquin
Deshaun Watson is playing out of his mind. After the Thanksgiving Day win, he’s getting national attention. But he’s not just a great quarterback on a struggling team, he should be considered for MVP of the league.
I understand its just the pre-season, but the Houston Texans have forced 7 turnovers in 2 games. In the 2019 pre-season, no pre-season in 2020, the team forced 6 turnovers in 4 games. The new scheme is definitely putting an emphasis on getting the ball.
Well, it’s been a good run UH. In the last 3 years I’ve earned my degree and earned a job in a tough business. With the urging of my wife I took a risk after the military and worked a dream job. Short stint, but I enjoyed it. Now I can solely focus on Quinn’s health.
Hard work pays off. A lot of people to thank, most importantly my wife, but she’s not on Twitter. Not enough characters to thank everyone else. Happy to be doing what I love.

123 days in the NICU to start her life wasn’t enough. Quinn wanted to get a hospital stay in before the new year. At least this time she has Bluey.

Doesn’t feel like it yet because I still have classes this summer, but I finally graduated college. Thankful for my family and especially my wife for pushing me to pursue my dream. Next step is helping get kids to UH to do the same.

@minakimes
and
@Foxworth24
were right, but as a
@HoustonTexans
fan, who cares. Will be a bit before the value of the picks traded for Will Anderson can be measured. But for now, they can’t play against the Browns.
#WeAreTexans
Look Patrick Mahomes is elite and to his surroundings have created the perfect storm. Good for him and the Chiefs. But in line with what
@HoustonFBpodguy
has been saying today, and for years apparently (I'm new here), I'm not taking anyone over Deshaun Watson.
You think the Texans can play McKinney, Cunningham, Adams in a 4-3? I don’t know if McKinney is suited for a 4-3, but I think Adams has done enough to earn a spot on the field.
@Texans_Thoughts
@HoustonFBpodguy
Despite Danny Amendola having a good debut, think the Houston Texans still get Anthony Miller on the field? Maybe out of the backfield (like Tim Kelly showed with Brandin Cooks) or jet sweeps to give him chances to make a play
@Texans_Thoughts

Quinn ended up dealing with 2 viruses that led to bronchiolitis. She was intubated for a few days. Just a breathing tube now while she recovers. Watching Bluey and hanging out with her friends. Good thing she’s tough.

A big reason why
@UHCougarFB
is going to continue to trend in the right direction is having someone with this eye for talent on the staff. Great piece from

Auburn adds another staff member.
T.J. Randall will serve as the Assistant Director of Player Personnel and Scouting.
Spent four seasons at Liberty and was most recently as Assistant Director of Scouting for the University of Houston:
So, I'm not going to pretend to have the answers for playcalling. But logically, if you're running on early downs to keep the ball out of Davis Mills hands, then why expect him to succeed on 3rd and obvious passing situation? Especially against such a good defense.
Have the pleasure to talk

Got two building blocks for the

defense, a potential WR1, two IOL who already have great chemistry, EDGE with a high ceiling and a CB with great ball production.
I can't tell you how great it is to see Tyrod Taylor get so much praise from Houston fans. So happy for him and I hope the wave continues the rest of the season. Either way, this weekend was so much fun to watch,
Just got the news that I’ll be joining
@PFF
this season as a Data Collection Analyst. It’ll be my first job since leaving the Navy in January 2020, and a chance at some experience in the sports field. I’m pretty excited.
I am a big proponent of supporting those that work, whether I agree with their take or work itself all I want to do is see people grow and reach their goals
Imagine if the world had that same mindset
Y’all give
@PatrickStormTU
a ton of shit on here, but no BS this dude has been plugged in for a year maybe longer
He has known so many different parts of this trade and everything about the Deshaun situation and gets absolutely zero love on the timeline
@Texans_Thoughts
I am pretty high on a lot of these defensive moves. But, what does the offense even look like now? Run heavy? I’m just operating as if Deshaun Watson is no longer a Texan going forward.
The institution of transfer portal windows creates a new challenge for recruiting staffs nationally.
So what was it like when the portal opened? I spent the day with
@UHCougarFB
to find out:
@Texans_Thoughts
Silver lining you ask? They find she was wrongly terminated and the parties involved are removed to save face. Forcing a complete regime change...
Shoutout to
@BenDuBose
for taking the time out of his schedule to help me out. I was already a fan, but it’s nice to find out people you follow are genuinely nice. Anyway, follow Ben.
To any coaches that have reached out about their prospects in the past, I’m still willing to help where I can. I have no problem passing along names to friends I know in the business. Love to see kids succeed. DMs are open.
The Houston Texans have quite a bit of unknown going into this season. Competition at Slot WR is one of those places. Here’s a look at who might be pushing for those snaps.
I’m warming up to the idea of this Brandon Stayley cat....I doubt they’ll have interest but they should....I’d feel more comfortable with him than I would Brady
I’d request an interview with him as early as tomorrow
To say that Deshaun Watson and Patrick Mahomes are not in the same league is just lazy at this point. Let them know they can start here to "look deeper".
I couldn’t disagree more. He is VERY much in the same league and in some aspects he’s better. I know that sounds crazy for someone who hasn’t looked deeper into it. But, if you look deeper, you’ll see the truth.
Officially got the paperwork for our house done. Would like to thank my wife for being great at her job and getting a raise. Would like to thank myself for serving and existing. Allowing us to get a VA Loan. You know, doing the heavy lifting. (I don’t have a job)
@BenOndaTop
I’ve watched it several times. And I take more and more pride that’s he’s the Texans QB each time. Respectful guy. Willing to take the blame. And clearly understands what he’s doing. He’s not the problem.
Gil Brandt's comments after Dwayne Haskins' passing were too familiar. Sean Taylor's life was taken in 2007, Colin Cowherd touched on Taylor's previous mistakes. The public eye removes athlete's humanity, and we often expect them to be superhuman in all facets.
#playersarepeople
Mighty Quinn has come so far. This time last year we were excited to watch her grow, not knowing what she had in store for us. I can’t wait to tell her how strong she’s been since day one.
