The Texans absorbed another roundhouse punch in free agency on Friday, when tight end Joel Dreessen left for the Broncos.

Dreessen, who played at Colorado State, visited Denver on Wednesday. He had offers from the Broncos and Texans — a chance to play with Peyton Manning or try to help the Texans win another AFC South title.

Great pickup. He will have a breakout season with Peyton throwing him the ball.

Hes a great blocker, as well as a very good pass catching TE.

This is exactly the type of player I was hoping would fill our HUGE TE need.

Great signing.

Despite his size, he is a very good blocker, but...what the hell makes you think we'll be running the ball???

He's also a long snapper. I wonder if they keep Paxton now. Where's Frau when you need her?

The guy is 6'4 245. Hes pretty big. I guess he could be a bit bigger as a pure run blocking TE, but hes got really solid pass catching skills.

I have never been real high on him, but if manning can make tamme relevant then he certainly can with joel

He is a better all around player than Tamme.

It was a good pick up.

I looooove this! Dressen is very underrated and pure awesomeness.

If Julius Thomas stays healthy and keeps improving, This is going to be sick! Thomas would be the most athletic TE to play for Manning and we have all seen what two good TE's provide a team with someone that is able to deliver a ball.

Dreesen is a below-average blocker with above-average hands who has a talent for getting open in space. He's not much of a YAC receiver but he's the type who can squat in a zone and get you a first down. I hope they develop Orange Julius as the primary TE and use Dreesen in 2 TE sets.

Good point. Julius is the one with the talent. The two together might constitute quite a threat.

My immediate concern is blocking, especially with Green facing a four-game suspension. Neither Dreessen nor Julius Thomas are great at it at this time.

Still alot of TE's in FA, I'm sure there are some that are good at blocking - who can hopefully catch as well... I don't recall people being thrilled with Fells but he worked out...

He kind of resembles Tony Gonzales. Why dont we ever hear about these guys when they are playing just up the road at CSU?

With this signing, Thomas is in for a monster year.
He was on freakin fire before he got injured and that was with the mess at QB.
Manning is gonna pick teams apart with DT, Deck, Caldwell, Dreessen and Thomas on the field.
Good luck stopping those TEs! LOL!

Cool. Are both these guys an upgrade from Fells? Tamme is not very big.

Tamme is a slot-type tight end. Peyton'll line him split out a few yards, but still in fairly close and run lots of crosses and goes with him. I think Dreeson and Tamme could be a strong team of tight ends. At the risk of sounding like a broken record, I'd like to see Julius Thomas break out.

(I'm going to refuse to acknowledge anyone else as offensive coordinator. Peyton Manning is running this offense...)

BOTH are an upgrade from Fells and Dante Rosario.

I like getting 2 TEss on the same day. I hope they do a great job for us.

Dreesen and Tamme are just good enough to make an impact, but not good enough to be specifically "targeted" by defenses as a guy to stop. Both are decent athletically and can catch. They are sneaky quick and can beat LBs to get open. Both are good value signings and provide us with more red-zone weapons. You can never have too many red-zone targets for your QB.
