Kelce rips Dream Team signings

[Melchior]

“I think what we honestly lacked a lot on defense last year was leadership,” said center Jason Kelce, who played with Barwin at Cincinnati. “And I think that wasn’t DeMeco [Ryans’] fault. A lot of that was the defensive line and the DBs that we had in there were kind of very selfish groups, and that rubbed off on the ‘backers and everything else.

“I think the GMs and everybody did a good job of getting out the hazardous pieces, and they brought in better ones like Connor. He’s the complete opposite of that. He’s a team player, very much a guy that brings leadership to the board. He’s gonna call you out if you need to get called out and do it the right way. So now that we have him, DeMeco, and the secondary has been great so far in terms of the defense is just playing really together. And I think part of that is just there’s better guys out there.”

“He’s definitely brought a lot of different things to this team,” Curry said. “He’s a leader in so many different ways. He’s all about team camaraderie. We all get together and do dinner every week. The front, the D-Line, the inside linebackers and the outside linebackers. And that’s something he brought to the team. And just look at us now, guys out there making plays. Everybody’s happy, everybody’s jumping around, compared to last year. See what I’m saying? It’s just fun to be a part of.”

Why was Barwin not resigned by the Texans?

Babin was horrendous.

I think Nambi Pamby might have been included in what he was talking about as well

I think the Texans might have had cap issues but I could be wrong.

Didn't Like Celek's Body English

and sour faces after they took his TD away. Struck me as surprising Dez Bryantish pouting.

[Birdwatcher]

Look at the Texans

Why was Barwin not resigned by the Texans?

Looks like they made some bad personnel evaluations after last season, they are falling apart, lost to the Raiders against a third string QB w no NFL experience.

[ashaman]

That Texans team is definitely falling apart. Same state as the Eagles last year!

[Melchior]

Must be a cap issue. Looks like they drafted a little too well and couldn't keep paying all of those defensive players.
