The Texans are starting to do things right. Finally.

DirecTV's deal for the Sunday Ticket ends when this season is over. In fact I believe the league is about to announce which streaming service will take over coverage starting next season.

Appreciate the well-wishes. 🙂

Can the story be copied and pasted into this thread? It's behind the Post's paywall. Thanks.

Note: There are three preseason games.

Rudolph had two nice runs vs. the Lions, 28 and 13 yards. I heard Wexell say that on one of them he - Mason, not Jim - lowered his shoulder and knocked out a Lions defender. He's far from immobile.

Wexell pointed out that, in 16 years, Tomlin has never had a coach go on to an appreciably better job. I was pretty stunned to hear that. BTW: Here's the link for Wexell's appearance on Savran on Sports on Wednesday...

I heard the entire interview. "Wex" always has good takes. First, he "modified" his earlier opinion re Rudolph emerging as the starter. But..he says there's little chance they'll trade him because Tomlin & Co. value him as an experienced backup. (And his salary isn't a big deal.) He believes...

Jim Wexell, the longtime Steelers beat writer, will be on Stan Savran's ESPN 970 show at 1:20 p.m. today and likely will address this subject. In fact, Jim has written that Rudolph may well be the starter for Game 1. His reasons why are interesting. He's always worth a listen.

I'd like that. And how 'bout grabbing D'Eriq King on Saturday? They could develop him the way the Eagles did with Greg Ward. The offense could use some Randle El-esque pizzazz.

The next-best position to QB for upgrading the offense: WR. Olave from Ohio St. looks to me like a solid pick.

That's a huge leap of faith. Obviously hope you're right (but I have my dahts).

No way Ridder lasts to 52.

Pass.

Here's a vote for Levon Kirkland. Quietly did a terrific job for a long time, with little fanfare.

Let's pump the brakes a bit on Trubisky. He was viewed as a nothing but a bust when he was with the Bears. But now that he's a Steeler, there's a lot of sentiment that he's a fountain of untapped talent. I'm skeptical. In fact I think it's very possible that Rudolph will beat him out. We'll see.

Let's be honest: He looks like he could fix a struggling computer, but not a struggling offense.

He definitely has trade value, but how much is still unclear at this point. As for possible or probable suspension by the league: One reason the Texans didn't play him is speculation that they hope it could go toward "time served." That could make a trade easier to pull off.

No question. But likely not as much as they think.
