    I was reading that he was expected to challenge for starting free safety for Houston last year but broke his arm in a practice, which led to his release. Maybe he is better than we think. I am sure he did not have our system down well last year with no training camp behind him.

    I think he was a former 2nd round pick. At very least he's a project with a great upside. Good enough to bring to camp for a look.

    Only knock I'd have on him is, based on ST performance, that he seems a bit slow. But that's compared to guys like Cooper and Smart, and that's not really a fair comparison. If he can execute plays at FS, as his rep would indicate, I agree he could challenge for a starting position.

    Well see, competing for a starting spot on the Texans is liek competing for a backup role on any other team, except for the Cardinals

    The Texans weren't that bad. They beat us and alomost beat the Pats. Looking back they had a pretty tough schedule.

    True, their D was pretty good last year, didn't they hold the Titans to lik 10 points? Or was that the Jags?

    That was the Panthers, also.

    Tillman could pan out, but I'd rather not take that chance.
