Texans sign veteran CB Deltha O'Neal by Jordan Godwin of the Houston Chronicle

Quote:

The Texans have signed two veterans in cornerback Deltha O’Neal and running back Andre Hall. To make room on the roster, defensive tackle Jake Visser was waived, and rookie running back Jeremiah Johnson has been placed on the injured reserve and will undergo shoulder surgery.

The Texans tried out three veteran cornerbacks on Thursday – O’Neal, Mike Mackenzie and Jason Webster. Besides Hall, they also tried out running back Brad Lester.

The Texans were looking for a veteran cornerback after Jacques Reeves suffered a fractured fibula in practice this week. Reeves is out 6-8 weeks. Antwaun Molden, a second-year cornerback isn’t expected to come off PUP for two weeks.

Unfortunately for Pats fans and receivers, we have to wait until the last week of the regular season until the Pats meet the Texans.

Ha ha!! Brady over O'neal to Moss for the end of the regular season and Brady's 51st TD!

Well, that is going to going to scare Dunta Robinson to sign his franchise tender and report to camp. He thought he had the Texans over a barrel, but they showed they are serious bringing in the big guns in Deltha O'Neal.

And yet people still pick this team to finish ahead of Indy in the standings?

Maybe they never watched him play in a real game. Perhaps their Tivo was broken. Now they have just the man to stop Peyton Manning.

Why didn't they just get a Deltha O'Neal Fathead and prop it up in the back corner? It's about as effective as the real thing.

I wish Deltha all the luck in the world, and I hope that going to a different team and system allows him to produce better results than he was able to produce for the Patriots.

I wish him luck
