What’s missing from this picture?

Sep 2, 2008 Rosie Rosenfels, The Schaub Experiment

Your Texans’ current practice squad:

Kevis Coley (LB)

Darnell Jenkins (WR)

Gabe Long (DT)

Jesse Nading (DE)

Derrick Roberson (CB and still better than Petey)

Mark Simmons (WR)

Adam Stenavich (T)

Darius Walker (RB)

Soooo…..notice anything, you know, missing?  Where are Shane Boyd and/or Alex Brink?

Unless there’s some piece of knowledge out there I don’t have, as in, for example, Brandon Frye is a particularly nimble and strong-armed guy, we are only carrying two QBs on our entire roster: Teh Schaub and Rosy Rosenfels.

Let’s set expectations: It’s not reasonable to expect Schaub and Rosy to be healthy all season.  I’m not saying they’re injury prone, but I am saying that quarterbacks get hurt (and having a rookie LT exacerbates the problem).  Hopefully, they aren’t injured at the same time like last year, and Rosy *was* able to stay healthy.

Still, having only two QBs on the roster scares me.  Practice squad members can be shifted at will, but the limit is the eight we have now.  I imagine Smithiak is still seeing what’s out there and available, but I definitely don’t think we’re done with roster moves yet…this week, I mean.

And do we sign the newly released Tatum Bell?

Edit: Because you know you want to.

    only one good thing could possibly come from signing Tatum Bell:

    that would be watching Lee’s head explode in anger.

    I love the worry face. One of my favorite re-appearing graphics.

    Also, just say no to Tatum Bell.

    Oh, and I’m not too concerned with the lack of a QB on the practice squad for the simple reason that, should it come to the point that we needed that QB to play meaningful snaps, we’re fucked anyway.

    have we waived brink or boyd yet?
    We can’t sign them to the PS until we’ve waived them first.

    @beef: They were cut on Friday when we got down to the 53-man roster.
