Houston Texans Acquire Derrick Mason

by Jimmy on Oct 11, 2011 9:18 PM CDT in NFL News

Derrick Mason is quickly becoming the bane of my existence. It wasn't enough that he had to go play for the dirty Ravens when he left here. He then had to go play for the dirty Rex Ryan this year. Now he has been traded to the Houston Texans according to John McClain.

That is the move of a team who knows they are on the cusp of a playoff birth and need that one player to put them over the top. Mason can be that guy for them. He will be a fantastic compliment to Andre Johnson once AJ returns from his hamstring injury.

I wonder if this will push the Titans to make a move to keep pace. They can give us all of the stories they want about Damian Williams and his potential, but he isn't a difference maker right now.

Maybe they have faith that Donnie Avery will be that guy.

The Texans got better tonight. Maybe now they can score a touchdown against 10 guys.

Interesting

They acquired Mason a week before playing Baltimore, and 2 weeks before playing Tennessee.

Agreed.

Not that worried about Mason as a Texan. He hasn’t looked spectacular as a Jet

I hate to say it, but I think he may be at his end.

I thought I heard he had some issues with the coaching staff in NY?

Didn’t he get benched last game for a bit?

Yep. Apparently him, Holmes and someone else went to Ryan with grievances.

And Mason ended up on the bench.

Ya something like that. They were angry with Brian Schottenheimer I believe.

One of the coaches I really wanted the Titans to look at. Not one of my better ideas I guess.

As a NYer

I’d say that was a bad idea. Unless you would enjoy a lifetime of 5 yard passes on 3rd and 7.

I really liked (and still do) his work with Mark Sanchez, getting him game ready so quickly.

Now Sanchez needs to take the next step, and if he does, I think we’ll see less five yard passes. Whether or not Sanchez is good enough to reach that next step is the question.

And passed. Hopefully it’s cuz they think they can do better.

Wouldn’t be hard. He’s more of a warm body than a weapon.

The Jets gave them Mason for at most, a 6th round pick.

I'm disappointed he went to the Texans only because

we’re gonna have to shut him down when we play him. I know he suited up for the ratbirds and whatnot, but I’ll always have a place in my heart for him.

I like him a lot.

Price tags probably too much if we want to bring him in as a replacement. We’re probably better off going WR high in the draft.

but can you imagine the rage it would cause if we made Jacoby Jones useful? think of the rage, allllll the rage….plus, I’d probably be putting up numbers like him in an Aaron Rodgers led offense.

They got better...but not much better.

This is a good move by the Texans, but really, if the Ravens and Jets decide to part ways with you, how much value can you still hold? The Ravens receivers are not that good, and the Jets decided to move on from a guy that was designated at best as the 3rd receiver on the team. If the Jets don’t think you can be a third receiver, that’s got to be a troubling sign.

a lot of the Mason not coming back to Baltimore thing was the belief in Torrey Smith. they know Boldin is the go-to-guy as the possession receiver and Mason wasn’t going to help stretch the field at all.

by danielreese05 on Oct 11, 2011 9:57 PM CDT up reply actions

Smith's got the speed edge over Mason, but he looks far from a polished receiver.

The fact that they didn’t like him over Smith indicates to me that Mason has reached third receiver contributor status. And clearly the Jets didn’t even think that much of him.

yeah it’s really kind of a punch in the face from where he’s standing, but if you take a receiver in the second round, you best play him. I kinda think the Jets are kinda set there too though. he’s not getting the ball over Santonio and the 8 foot Plax gets all the red zone looks, Dustin Keller is the safety valve (Mason’s role in Baltimore).

I don’t even think he’s that good, but if he’d signed with like, the Seahawks or something this wouldn’t even be a thing.

Re: Jets and Mason.

They’ve got Santonio and Plax as 1 & 2. Its got to be pretty damning that they won’t even use him as a third slot receiver (and he’s always been tough going over the middle). I don’t even know who steps into that role now, unless I’m missing someone obvious.

yeah they benched him for a 5th rounder this year. that’s certainly not what I like to hear if I’m a Texans fan. I was about to say Brad Smith but, well, guess they feel dumb for letting him walk.

I think we already used our 'random act of kindess from the universe' in the WR spot when we magically got Randy Moss.

But thanks to Fisher, we ended up wasting him.

This isn't directed right at you, but more in general. Its been sticking with me for some time now.

Randy Moss retired. Not only did the NFL realize he’s done, but the man himself. There are a lot of things Fisher deserves blame for, but I don’t think its that farfetched to say Randy Moss just wasn’t very good last year.

I don’t know if I buy that. the most talented player of all time doesn’t just drop off the face of the planet in a matter of weeks. plus; was he really better than Justin Gage? really? I know he was aging, but this is still a guy who torched Darrelle Revis what, three weeks before coming to Tennessee?

I think he had something left.

Something, but it wasn't much.

The Patriots and Vikings gave up on him last season. Is it really out of the realm of possibility that the Titans reached the same conclusion?

sure it’s possible, but the Patriots giving up on still productive vets isn’t anything new (Samuel, Seymour, etc.) and the Vikings stint was a PR disaster. they wouldn’t have brought him in if they didn’t see anything.
