The Arian hate is dumbfounding.

Here was the PFT article about Tate breaking his ankle last year: http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2010/08/15/broken-ankle-expected-to-cost-ben-tate-his-rookie-season/

Bench Foster at your own peril.

Agreed. Seems to be a lot of youngsters and knee-jerkers here.

And just so others are aware - "no setbacks" would involve somehow tweaking his hamstring doing walk-throughs.It's a shame Manning wasn't coming back this week too, the NFL would almost be back to full strength.

Yeah, all this talk of twenty touches has me thinking he's back in over Felix this week.

agreed 100%. thats the only question at this point, whether to also start tate

The real quote is less "damning" towards the running situation.Kubiak basically said the number 2 will always see action (since when don't they). So ya, he'll definitely play.
The rumours that have been flying around about Houston's run game makes it sound like Foster will be a 25 carry guy, and tate a 10-15 on a weekly basis. Straight up, smashmouth football coming out of Houston.
The actual quote:
“He’ll be the next guy,” Kubiak said. “Both of those guys (Foster and Tate) will play, and Steve’s (Slaton) available if we need a third guy. He’s definitely going to play. Our second guy always is going to get some carries and play.”

I'm leaning towards starting BJGE over Tate because he's a TD machine. Also, SD's defense got run all over last week despite stopping the air attack completely.

I'll personally pass on putting Tate in my flex... Im going to use Vernon Davis.Tate should see about 10 touches... But if Foster is running 100%, and the game is tight... I can't really see Tate being used very much over a proven Foster.
There will likely be enough carries for Tate to have value... But Id rather plug in Davis against a depleted DAL team, where SF will likely need to to throw plenty.
That's me

Yup, had to retort my own post. By the way, I meant back in over Felix.

So what's the deal with Foster? Did his hammy get tight or something? Why did he get only 10 carries when the game was still close?

News: Texans RB Arian Foster left during Week 2 against the Dolphins after re-aggravating his hamstring injury. Foster appeared to sustain the injury sometime during the first half as he has yet to play after halftime. He rushed for 33 yards on 10 carries prior to leaving the contest and his return is being called questionable. sportsline

"Texans coach Gary Kubiak assured after Sunday's win that Arian Foster is "fine" despite reportedly re-aggravating his injured hamstring in the first half.
"He’s fine," Kubiak said. "He obviously wasn’t himself and got pretty fatigued. He wanted to play in the second half." Foster was obviously angry on the sideline that he wasn't being allowed to play; it appeared the Texans had Foster's helmet taken away from him by a staffer. Foster finished the first two quarters with 40 yards on 12 touches. Kubiak seems to think Foster's physical conditioning is more of a problem than his hamstring: "It's really just fatigue more than anything." We'll see."

GK's credibility is fairly damaged this point.

And just so others are aware - "fatigue" means being tired.
I couldn't keep up with all the quotes, but last one I read said something along the lines of, if he starts, there's no holding back or something to that effect. Did he back track on that?

He looked tired

Did rizzler kill himself? Looks to me like Foster lost his job.

So he was benched...not sure if that's better or worse lol

sounds like bs

If Tate is going to continue running like this, there is no reason to rush Foster back.
GroveDiesel
Footballguy
If he doesn't get back soon and Tate keeps running like that, there may be no reason to bring him back at all!
jackdubl
Footballguy
Yes. Said he would not see normal number of snaps. But now it sounds like the hammy tightened up.

Footballguy
Sounds like Foster will be sitting the next 4 or so games to get right. It was dumb to start him today
pantherclub
Footballguy
Or better
shadyridr
Footballguy
of course it does

i think they'll try to tie him up but nowhere close to CJ money. I really hope he isn't expecting that type of contract. FWIW: Tate got Schaub killed today in pass pro a couple times.

Where does it sound like that....?

There was a moment in the 3Q where the camera caught Foster looking frustrated on the sideline (my speculation = that he wanted to get back in). He was standing next to one of the asst. coaches who was talking with him and smiling/chuckling.
The type of frustration Foster showed was VERY different from the frustration he showed after "re-tweaking" the hammy during the San Fran preseason game. In that game, he was visibly upset that he'd reinjured himself, slamming his helmet, etc. etc. I never saw any of that in this game.
Maybe Kubiak had a predetermined limit on Foster's touches? Maybe easing him back into game shape to prevent reinjury?
Thats just my conjecture, but read the post-game tweet from John McClain (local Texans beat writer) below:
@McClain_on_NFL John McClain
Gary Kubiak said Foster wasn't hurt, just fatigued. He said he made the decision to go with Tate in the second half and Foster is fine.

Looks like Foster lost his job. Tate is the better back anyways. The texans must be happy this is going down the way it is because they can let Foster walk next year.
