tate is definitrly a solid rb but he is not on fosters level
I think today was exactly what foster owners have been waiting to see; how Tate faired in a game that was not lopsided and against a serviceable defense. I think it was obvious that Foster brings a great deal more to the Texans dynamically. There were a number of runs where you just know from watching Foster in the past that the plays would have went for a few more yards (Tate seems more hit and grind where Foster seems more like pick a hole and glide through it). There were also a couple of plays where Shaub and tate did not connect as easily as he seems to with Foster.Now, the Texans can fall to 2-2 next week if they lose, fall out of first in their division, and pretty much lose all the early season momentum they had going. I would be willing to bet that you're going to see Foster as the starting RB this week coming.
