Only a FS Jimmie Ward-Houston Texans

Yet, he sucks so bad, its like being down one player when he actually plays. Pretty much no point of him even being on the field.

No when he's healthy and plays he is servicable, would be bettter if he could train and play more often but that hasn't and may never happen. Still a good back up

Wards versatility as a backup will allow dressing one less dB on game day that's how you dress 4 rbs and have Coleman Breida McKinnon swinging out the backfield and slot all over the place defenses gonna be dazed and confused

Yeah he will pull a couple hammies but unlikely to break so many bones as a backup. Ward is definition of premium insurance you can hate it til you need it.

Good 411

He wasnt a starter day 1 and still ended in IR with a broken bone.....

You don't want to go overpay someone then see a player you like better that you could've gotten in the third round. I wish the draft was first, so you could just do the draft very clear-minded, take the best player that comes to you, look at your board and, all right, 'Now who do we want to go overpay to go get to fill the holes?' But it doesn't work that way."

-Kyle Shanahan

I think the strategy was try to sign our top targets at CB and/or S, if we miss sign Ward who can play CB, S, or Nickel. That way if a stud CB or S fall to us in the draft we can take him and/or if one of our young DBs steps up, we can have Ward provide depth at the other position.

Man I sure hope Jimmie doesn't surf the forums and see how much we dislike him because I'm sure he's a great guy and it's not really his fault he gets hurt. It's not like he wants to get hurt...

But having said that, really? REALLY? You've got to be kidding me

ANY UPDATE ON VERRETT???

I said all last year, Saleh's relationship with Ward was straight creepy. He literally reminds me of the Southpark episode Faith+1.

"I understand Mr. Cartman, but your lyrics...you sound like you're IN love with Jesus."

Song: "I wanna get down on my knees and start praising Jesus. I wanna feel your salvation all over my face."

When Saleh is asked about Ward he just gets a sparkle in his eye, lights up and says he loves him at least a dozen times.

I'd say the proof's in the fudge pudding on this one.

It wouldn't be so bad if he didn't actually suck ass ON the field to go with his chronic Glass Joe body.

#Ward

We already have Ward and Tartt, we don't need anymore injury prone dudes (no to Verrett).

Jimmie adds insult to *ahem* injury

MM. LOL

I think Ward was screwed when they keep trying to move him around. His problem is that he gets injured a lot-duh, but he was a safety coming out and should have been kept there, maybe he wouldn't have had all these injuries. I feel the same about T. Moore, yeah he has the physical tools and athleticism, but having to play and learn a new position was a mistake I think. Especially with his height and speed, he can cover so much ground and area and would watching eyes forward most of the time and not have to turn his back.

Come on, Jimmy. Make this last shot count. Lay some wood!

Yeah I believe that also. Wished we had a permanent spot for him instead of making him some sort of hybrid. That really screwed him. But injuries need to be fixed somehow.

For Moore i felt like he got better the more he played and the more balls thrown at him. I think we have something there. But I think Joe Woods is gonna have a huge say in what these guys are gonna do. Hell maybe its Woods that sees something in Ward.
