Watching this game on YouTube TV and the screen has been frozen for the last 15 minutes. Very frustrating.

I have a hard time seeing how Hutchinson makes the team. I know they like him, but you already have 4 spots spoken for with Collins, Kirk, Higgins, Noel. Most teams keep 5 or 6. He’s pretty much up against Metchie and Berrios. And those two have some special teams ability.

Seeing the TV backside shot of THREE Cyclones receivers on one pro team.... and I wasn't dreaming!
F-ing unreal!!!!
Beyond us, are there 3 receiver's from One college, playing together as pros?
Ps. Expecting a spoiler alert.

I hate to be pessimistic with you on this, but i agree. Reality of the situation in Houston is they've had a banged up WR room each of the last 2 seasons and Hutchinson has been given a lot of snaps and just hasn't produced in those opportunities. It's hard to say he's been a bust as a 6th round pick, but if he had performed better, the Texans wouldn't have needed to go draft 2 more WRs in the early rounds of the draft this year.

I will forever love Hutch and hope he gets the chance to stick around or try and stick somewhere else. I shudder to think about how much darker that 2022 season could have been without him.

You'd think (or at least hope) he's shown enough somebody else would give him a chance. Lotta teams out there with bad WR rooms and the injury rate throughout the league is terrifying.

The Texans are 1.) a good team with good talent at most positions and 2.) have put a lot of draft capital into the WR position lately to try and give C.J. Stroud some weapons to make him a star.

#1 and #2 doesn't apply too many teams throughout the league.

Teams usually keep 5-7 with most landing at 6. If they keep 5, I don’t like his chances. If they keep 7 then he has a great shot. Six I don’t know…he’s gonna have to beat out either Berrios or Metchie. With a team with OL issues, I tend to believe they carry extra there vs WR.

That said, I think Hutchinson will get picked up somewhere even if he does get cut. I don’t think that there are a ton of teams with a WR room that the Texans have. Of course, when Tank Dell gets back next offseason that’s going to really mix things up.

2 years ago I dumped the Vikings for my new favorite team the 49er's. I feel like the Texans are going to give them a run for their money.

Just an FYI, I've enjoyed the NFL much more now that I got rid of the Vikings. I highly recommend it.
bang bang niner gang let’s go

I may have asked before but how far back does your fandom go?

I have always been a fan of players more-so than a team in the NFL. It definitely does make it more enjoyable to watch.
