Looks like wade is officially locked in for the texans.

Garrett is now officially a head coach.

Rangers picked up Beltre, also signed two other pitchers.

Glad the rangers are making serious moves to improve the team after a good season. I think Houston will be better next year than most people think, most of the problems are defensive and now wade can work on that from day 1 instead of in the middle of camp etc. Im glad the Boys signed Garrett as he had enough experience under him, i almost wish they would sign an OC and relieve garrett of those dutys.

Yeah man, i was sketchy with Garrett at first. But he definitely changed the way the cowboys played. He had the saints beat if not for dumb *** williams fumbling at the 1, and we lost to the eagles by 3, and then by the cards by 3 cuz crackhead buehler missed an extra point.. his 3 losses combined for only a total of 7 points.

I wanted jerry to go after cowher or gruden.. but then again, i think teams are leaning towards the younger assistant coaches/head coaches now.

Its nice to see the Rangers getting some more talent on board.

Bugle boy kickers mistakes where lead by jerry jones and wade phillips decisions. They knew they needed a fg kicker and in the offseason they didnt get one, as you can see bugle boy rarely kicked it into the endzone this season since he was mixing to much work and bragging about his strength to much.

I think Garrett is ready to lead a team for awhile, he was around an allstar cast of talented and outspoken people as a player, Jimmy johnson genius head coach, bill parcells, and a decent defensive coordinator to learn some things from.

I hope the mavericks can pick up one more scorer and they can be in the hunt for a ring again, they finally have bigs but now we have injuries.

So you can recall Adrian Beltre but you can't recall Brandon Webb. He won the Cy young in 06 and was the runner up in 07 and 08. Come on man.

The rangers needed a good #1 or #2 starter and didn't get it. Webb is a risk, low cost and the best kind, but still no guarantee. Beltre was a mistake. Paying that Guy that kinda money, when he is known as a contract year batter. He's good defense and average as far as "power" hitters go. Not worth the money. Rangers offseason is disappointing.

yeah but hell beltre did bad *** for my red sox had they not had so many injuries they would have most def made playoffs. lotta changes with my boston sports too. pats ditch moss and maroney and pick up branch and woodhead. great ******* move. sox signed carl crawford. celts got shaq. its all good in the hood.

but back to the topic i think garrett will be ok need a new kicker though......

Yeah, he's had his one great year with Boston. Struggled with the Seatle for his tenure there though. One thing he does bring for sure is a glove. This combo will give the rangers one of the best left infields in baseball. Batting wise, they are projecting him to be between Josh and Nelly. With this combo projections are high.

I do however love the Webb move b/c he has been good with the exception of his injury last year. Berrett Loux is another up and comer that I have high hopes for. Then again that could just be my Aggie side talking.

I also hope Taylor T steps it up. Loosing Ben Molina was huge, people don't realize what he did for the pitchers all season. I played catcher in D1 ball, and there is alot that rests on the skill and experience of a catcher. Rangers have been struggling to find one since Pudge , eventhough he had his short apperance 2 years ago.

For the Cowgirls, I say trade Homo and start Mcgee. Bigger, faster, stronger, and he is more of a team player on a team full of pre-madonas.

Yup! You know damn well Jimmy Johnson already has given Garret valuable advice and who to cut for being garbage. I also think Garrett will do good. He knows the amount of pressure that will be on him next season (if there isnt a lockout). He went 5-3 with a backup and 3rd string QB and 3-4 string WR playing as everybody was banged up.

I call Buehler ****** Ray Finkle..LACES OUT!! That **** has a strong leg but is inaccurate as ****. He really wasnt a FG kicker to begin with.

I want to see us get rid of Dave Campos sorry ***. That guy is our secondary coach and sucks. The same coach that got us 3 5-11 seasons, and the guy that was the defense cordinator when Randy Moss torched the cowboys all day on thanksgiving.

Beltre's defense isnt worth the average hitting and high price he brings to the table. And what about clubhouse effects of moving young again? I know they are all "happy" now, but who knows. Plus, now you are over paying young and beltre, and you realy didnt make that big of an improvement. New ownership was just desperate to make a big splash after losing Lee, so they got the left overs of big fish free agency. They should have focused their attention on trading for a top rotation starter. Garza would have been a better move both on the field and in the papers. He would have cost less and greatly helped the team, but he is off the table now too.

The Rangers are a funny bunch. They are going into the season with alot of hefty assumptions. They assume all the kids that kinda overachieved will do the same again. They assume C.J. will be that good again. They assume kinsler will regain his power from a couple years ago. Webb will be their top of the rotation answer, ect. Their rotation has holes, they are unproven at catcher and first base, and i dont see the kids in the bullpen all working out again, or the two old men they have to anchor it(rhodes and oliver).

Then again the rotation has always had holes. The Rangers have struggled with pitching for years. As for Rhodes, I hope he does good and brings some experience to the bullpen. Funny thing was, I thought Rhodes retired already. I'm 30 and I remember watching him pitch when I was in middleschool. He's on the verge of pitching in 3 generations.

I also think the Beltre move had alot to do with keeping him off the Angels roster. If it helps, I was also Pro Matt Garza, but they just didn't seem interested. There were also a number of solid relievers available along with solid DH players. Hell we already have one old guy, why not pick up Jim Thome, or "gulp" Manny. There were alot of solid free agents.

Anyways, can't wait till March 31st win or lose.

This is a sports thread so bring it.

Im not counting on Webb, he just came back from Surgery and could be a big hit or miss, I assume the nolan, maddox and the pitching staff know what they are doing so lets hope for the best.

We aquired one, Kris Brown.

McGee showed us he is good at running, he needs alot of work. Romo will def be the guy for a year or two unless he just falls apart big.

Mitch was a big hitter in almost all the post season games so I hope he can become great, his non playoff stuff was bad but I dont think he hadnt gottten the start much till the end of the season.

Kris Brown, that is far from a Big Texas Sports move.


Didn't you know, every time Kris Brown is mentioned a Houston fan dies? (self inflicted)

I definitely liked what i seen from stephen mcgee. The guy came up clutch twice in the only 2 games he played. The nice deep throw to miles in the cards game, and then clutch with less than 2 minutes left and 0 timeouts.

Mcgee did something Tony Romo doesnt seem to do anymore? Scramble! Mcgee took off on crucial downs and ran for a first each time and crazy guy dove for the first downs!! Romo seems to just want to be a pocket QB. Nothing wrong with that, but Romo is dangerous on the run.

I agree, I hope we use our top pick for a bad *** Secondary player or something. Our secondary has gone down hill. We need that shutdown corner. Thats just my opinion tho haha and maybe somebody else to compliment D Ware on the other side would be good too.

What do yall think they need to do with their first selection?

99CamVanillaTop

iTrader: (2)

Defensive players is a must, im thinking maybe a good safety or corner should be our #1 pick. We need help in alot of positions and I think they can make it work if they actually draft the right people, maybe sign 1-2 players for the o-line.

There was an article on bleacher report where it said that JJ was gonna do some serious house cleaning of alot of the veterans. Might be just rumors but who knows.

I think its true, im not sure if keith brooking, t newman, or a few others are going to be on the roster for training camp.

If this is true than I feel sorry for Cowboys fans. Not because they are loosing all their experienced players, but b/c it shows that JJ is still running the team rather than the coaches.
