Report: Bill O'Brien Tried To Cut Ryan Mallett Before Dolphins Game, Rick Smith Overruled O'Brien

The Houston Chronicle is reporting that Ryan Mallett's continued employment with the Texans isn't because Bill O'Brien wants him. There's a power struggle going on in Houston, and things are getting ugly less than halfway through the 2015 season.

Many Texans fans have been puzzled that the Houston Texans have not yet cut Ryan Mallett. I thought for sure it would happen today and attempted to justify Bill O'Brien's mealy-mouthed press conference as nothing more than the team desperately trying to make sure it had done all it needed to do to replace Mallett on the depth chart.
