Texans Begin To Jettison Dead Weight
Texans part ways with Walker, Coleman, Banks, Hollings (John McClain, Houston Chronicle)
Defensive tackle Gary Walker and cornerback Marcus Coleman, cornerstones of the franchise for four seasons, were among four Texans who were informed today that they are being released.
Walker, Coleman, quarterback Tony Banks and running back Tony Hollings have played their last game for the Texans.
"I told them after evaluating the film that we had decided to go in another direction," coach Gary Kubiak said.
And those moves officially put the Texans in rebuilding mode. That's kind of sad for a team that has yet to finish .500.
The Tony Hollings pick was one of Charley Casserly's many personnel bungles, costing the Texans a second-round pick. It remains astounding that Casserly still has a job with this team. One can only imagine that he was kept around so Kubiak could execute personnel moves rapidly and according to all league regs, while learning the ropes. I'd be surprised if Casserly is still around next year.
