Sherman at it again... Luchey gets tryout in Houston

[gureski]

I saw this at footballguys.com and had to share it...

"After practice Thursday, Kubiak and several members of the Texans’ scouting department watched FA Nick Luchey work out with QBs Matt Baker and Quinton Porter. “I think it’s important that we find a veteran FB with a little experience in this league,” Kubiak said. "

Funny how that veteran FB is Luchey. Last week Terrance Murphy auditioned for them. Their center is Flannigan. Brad Bidell is on their roster. THey're looking at McKenzie as their GM. The Sherman connection is alive and well. Good to see him talking up former Packers.

Murphy is still trying to make a team even with the neck trouble.

[The Leaper]

Perhaps we can trade Roman to the Texas for something of value.

[Guiness]

As pointed out many times before, he falls in love with his players.

I'm thinking now that Washington has 2yrs of NFL experience under his belt, he should be worth at least a 2nd rounder. Because they'll likely have a high pick, we'll take a measly third. Has anyone told Sherman he's available?

i think that maybe Shermy was behind drafting WIlliams, with his draft track record it is a good possibility. Hopefully he will talk them into trading a bunch of picks our way to move up one spot next year

[The Leaper]

Shermie had to be pissed...you can't trade up from the first pick.

[Guiness]

no, but you can trade the first pick in the second and third round, and we'll give him the 32nd pick from the first round!

*hic* Want some kool-aid?

I thought MS was a good coach & a lousy GM. I can see why he would want ex Packers, they already know each other & it would speed up the process of installing a new offense, probably pretty cheap. I remember Luchey getting his helmet knocked off on some blocks, pretty good blocker.

[Harlan Huckleby]

Luchey was fat, but he had some pop blocking.

Thats BOMNF!!!

Luchey was definitely a very able body. He was a great blocker, who could absolutely destroy a linebacker. He packed a load.

However, he didn't take care of himself, and we all know this is a young man's game. A few guys who work their tail off to stay in shape (Hendo and Lorenzo Neale, at FB) can keep the young legs at bay, but Luchey didn't, and won't.

I wouldn't label him as a great blocker. I'd label him as inconsistent getting to the right spots to make the block. He could pack a knockout punch and could be great at times, but I'd take Henderson right now over Luchey's best year.

Why they gave Luchey the money while having an above average FB at the time will always be beyond my understanding.

[BlueBrewer]

I would rather have Berstein than Luchey, Detroit is luckey to have the Hebrew Hammer.

[Harlan Huckleby]

Detroit got both Calhoun and Bernstein? Crap.

[OS PA]

Does Houston need a punter?
Maybe a place-holder?

BJ Sander should be available soon.
