Well, there's no doubt that this is all a ploy to motivate Reggie Bush . . .

Question for the 300+ folks looking in on this.
Will Gado or Morency post 100 total yds with either one of their clubs even once this season? If you are passionate about either player's new situation...how high are your expectations?

Then why is the coach saying that Dayne will see a ton of work?

I think Kubiak is trying to put together an attractive enough package to get Bush from New Orleans...

No i am just realistic , it freaks me out that most of you are thrilled about Gado going to Houston .He is a back up no big story here , if he is nt better then Herron how can he beat anyone for a starting job.This guy REALLY doesn't like Gado for some reason!!!

Actually, wouldn't this have more to do w/ getting someone in the backfield who can pass-block?

Wouldn't it help if they found an offensive lineman that could pass block first?

They finally found a way to use Dayne effectively. He'll be driving the team bus.

Where? The draft? Silly thinking.

good question MOP...I think possibly. If the "starter" in each situation goes down, then obviously their fortunes bode well, but I personally don't see this as anymore then a trade of mediocre backups.

Just a thought....
Maybe Houston views Gado as a more diferent type of RB (more rugged tough runner) while Lundy and Morency are more similar. The move gives them better situational matchups?
Green Bay fely gado was not the right fit for what they wanted and thought why notadd Morency who could be looked at as a potential Ahman green replacement down the road?
Maybe this trade just fits team areas of need more?

Have not seen or heard that, and I get a ton of Texans news being in Beaumont and all ...... interesting and puzzling if it in fact comes true ...

I think the only offer Kubiak could make right now that the Saints would even consider would be something along the lines of "Here's a list of players on our roster. Circle the ones you want."Footballhead

I don't get it. Both the TExans and Packers run the same zone blocking scheme. So why? Maybe there is a reason why Kubiak was the OC who never make the calls for so many years in Denver.

I have no love for Dayne, but it seems like the coach was cited as saying Dayne will play a fair amount. I don't know if it's true . . . it's buried in this thread somewhere. If so, I'm guessing 15 carries for 32 yards.

Wow. You are fast ... cant get 610 in my office (walls too thick) ...From Texans Board:"610am just reported that the Texans perceive Morency as a 3rd down back and they think Gado is an every down back. They then said that Ron Dayne is expected to see, "a ton of action" Sunday per the Texans."

I think it does no more Rbbc Lundi starts Dayne backs him up and Gado is the third down back.

After passing on Bush in the draft, it would sure add insult to injury to Houston if Morency went on to be a stud in GB.

I would think Morency would a couple of times if GB utilizes him as a 3rd down pass catcher and a complement to Green. Gado will be a consistent rb if he is the regular starter for the texans , but he may not win the job straight away, so I don't know when he will get the job can't say how many 100 yard games.

Obviously McCarthy liked Herron better, but it doesn't mean that Herron IS better. Sherman seems to like Gado and could very well believe that he should be the starter. If not, why bring him in? To be a 3rd down back? They already had that in Morencey. I agree with other posters in this thread that Lundi may be falling out of favor. So, they brought Dayne in (Kubiak's guy in DEN) who likey stunk up the joint in practice, and now they're bringing in Sherman's guy, Gado. It's reported that Dayne will get alot of work this weekend - perhaps just to see what he can (or can't) do before they cut him. It's obvious that Lundi is losing momentum atop the DC. With all of the dynamics mentioned above, I think it is better than 50/50 that Gado starts by week 4.No i am just realistic , it freaks me out that most of you are thrilled about Gado going to Houston .This guy REALLY doesn't like Gado for some reason!!!
He is a back up no big story here , if he is nt better then Herron how can he beat anyone for a starting job.

Wouldn't "being realistic" include factoring inthe fact that Mike Sherman had a part to play in this? You keep saying he "couldn't beat out Herron" Actually, he did. Last season when Sherman was coach. Just because the current GB coaching staff thought Herron was a better option for their offense (and based on the preseason, I'd agree with them) doesn't mean he won't/can't be productive in Houston.No i am just realistic , it freaks me out that most of you are thrilled about Gado going to Houston .He is a back up no big story here , if he is nt better then Herron how can he beat anyone for a starting job.This guy REALLY doesn't like Gado for some reason!!!
continues with the Texans, geez

I have to break this down.Morency will post 100 yds as a compliment to Green? Gado will be a consistent RB if he is the regualr starter? So you're saying that Dayne and Lundy, no chance they can be consistent as starters but if Gado is given the starting nod he will? Asking for clarity."I don't know"...I need no clarification on this statement.

Totally Hypothetical Coaches meeting.Texans GM: Lundi is not doing very well. I wonder if we can get someone cheap to come in?Obviously McCarthy liked Herron better, but it doesn't mean that Herron IS better.

Kubiak: I think Ron Dayne is available he knows the blocking scheme from Denver and looked good last year when I was coaching there.
Sherman: Gado might be available from GB where I used to coach and he knows the blocking scheme also.
Texas GM: Let’s bring them both since we have room in the salary cap.

I thought you were asking how many 100 total yards games each will have. I said Morency a couple of 100 yard games if he gets a few receptions. And For Gado I said I don't know how many 100 yard games he will have since I don't know when he will take over. As far as your other question I don't think Dayne can be a consistent starter and while the jury is out on Lundy he is a late round rook who's team just traded for a guy who I believe has more talent than him.I have to break this down.Morency will post 100 yds as a compliment to Green? Gado will be a consistent RB if he is the regualr starter? So you're saying that Dayne and Lundy, no chance they can be consistent as starters but if Gado is given the starting nod he will?

I'm sure it was brought up before... but my question is -- why? Why would either team make the trade? Or at least Green Bay? I could possibly see Houston giving up Morency, but why would Gado be traded? Did he say something to piss off Sherman? He has a good deal of talent... I just don't understand what they gained from this...

Gado has struggled in the new system and hasn't looked good in it.
Koya
Footballguy
Apparantly, Gado was really struggling this year. Many attribute that fact to his inability to make the transition to a new blocking scheme, but regardless he had disappointed. It might be that Green Bay realizes that for them, Gado was a one year wonder and wouldnt be able to do well in a full time roll in this offense. Perhaps they feel that Morency might be able to better help the team, perhaps as a 3rd down back, or as a co-back up with Herron should Green go down.As for Houston? Maybe it is the flip side. They don't need a role player RB but a real starter. Perhaps they saw Morency as a guy that might fill a role, but not the one they need most - starting RB. Maybe Gado is a better shot, in their eyes, at a guy that can handle the full load.
