Bryant according to a league source — Aaron Wilson (@RavensInsider) September 3, 2012 Bryant (6’3”, 248) was signed by the Houston Texans as an undrafted free agent (5/14/12) out of James Madison University, 48 tackles, 13 for loss and 7 sacks in 2011 for the Dukes. He had 4 tackles and 3 sacks during the preseason with the Texans but was released on August 31st.

BroadwayJoe12 Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 4 tackles and 3 sacks........I wonder why they didn't give him more of a chance Wouldn't see much action, texans are stacked at the OLB position. They've got starts in Barwin and Reed, with Cushing sliding outside on certain downs and a very promising rookie in Whitney Mercilus. Don't know anything about the kid, but unless he was a world-beater in camp, he's not getting PT anytime soon over those guys. As an aside, love what the texans have done with their defense over the years. Traded Demeco Ryans for decent picks when they found a cheaper version through the draft and let Mario Williams go when they found a stud in JJ Watt. Granted they didn't pull it together as a unit until Wade took them over, but they seem to find talent pretty well. It's just good business; unless that one player is the single lynchpin to your unit's success, you don't pay him like he is and they did just that with Williams. Hope it's a trend we continue to see.

Villain The Foe Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 4 tackles and 3 sacks........I wonder why they didn't give him more of a chance True. Its funny some of the talent that may fall through the cracks of getting to that 53 man roster. 4 tackles and 3 sacks seems pretty damn productive to me as a rookie, especially coming from a small school.

BurnleyJet Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 Maybin had similar production in Pre-season for us last year, then we cut him. So I hope the kids a sleeper, it's about time we had some good news this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stonehands Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 He was one of their secondary waiver claims that never came to pass because they got the primary guys. He would at least look good on our practice squad until we figure out what he has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#27TheDominator Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 He is going to improve our edge pass rush by replacing Ricky Sapp who basically did not play last season or the preseason? Sounds like a tall task. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
