Just looking for some people's opinions on who they think backs up Foster in Houston this year after what happened in the preseason game vs. Arizona where Brown didn't see the field and some are inferring that O'Brien may have him as last on the depth chart. While it may not matter because the Texans may be going back to back with the first pick in the draft, someone will have to run the ball. It is hard to believe that Foster is going to be healthy enough to carry the load all year for them, if at all, given his offseason. So did they acquire Brown as a FA for just this type of situation or is the rookie Blue going to become the guy there (assuming Foster misses time)? Seems to me that they might be protecting Brown, who has his own injury history, to make sure he didn't get hurt in that game last week, which may also lead us to believe the Foster situation is worse than being let on. Either way, even if Foster is healthy to start the year, there will be carries for another RB on this team. Thoughts?
