Safety's performance in first year is no surprise to those who watched him grow and gives...
Brett Coomer/Staff photographerHope that, one day, all the losing and empty seats will be replaced by the return of weekly pride in Houston’s NFL team and a packed NRG Stadium that again roars for the local red and blue.
Throw in the fact that the No. 37 overall pick of the recent draft leads the Texans in tackles and interceptions , created social-media highlights after flattening Dallas Cowboys in Jerry World, and played high school ball about 20 minutes from his current NFL stadium, and it’s already easy to picture a 23-year-old safety as one of the new long-term faces of a rebuilt franchise.
Rookies Dameon Pierce and Derek Stingley Jr. were lost for the remainder of the season on Saturday after being placed on injured reserve.Pitre has played in all 13 contests for the one-win Texans. A few days before the high-powered Kansas City Chiefs arrived in Houston, a 5-11 and 198-pound former Baylor standout sounded more upbeat and optimistic than I expected.
Preparation, devotion and instinct helped make Pitre’s young name, not speed or height or instant all-world talent.“If you list 10 intangibles for a football player, he’s got them all,” Counter said.Senior year. Final game. The future Texan is wrongly called for targeting, Counter said, and forced to leave the playing field. Pitre’s team was up but also way down.
“It’s and about eight of his teammates,” said Savanah, Stafford’s current head coach. “I’m like, ‘Man, we didn’t tell you guys to come up. Why are you here?’ It was like, ‘Coach, we’re getting ready for next year. This ain’t going to happen next year.’ That’s just him.”One of Caserio’s best additions to the rebuilding Texans connects Sunday composure with Monday through Saturday preparation.
