We know he runs a lot, averages from 5 games last year:198 Yards Passing
32 Yards Rushing
.6 Rush TD
.8 Pass TD
If you look at the 4 games prior to Houston, the average passing yards at Houston was 118 yards MORE than the average of the previous four. His TD's basically doubled also. That average may be slightly low since he may have been "rusty", not sure, just looking at the data.
I don't know how HOU is this year vs. last year against opposing QBs, I imagine about the same or worse. They are allowing this year an average of 273 yards passing and have allowed 11 TD's total.
So...
240 passing
40 rushing
2 Passing TD
50/50 chance at rush TD
I think Garrard is just as good as Lefty in this situation. The problem of course is the Game Time decision, and Lefty could start then get pulled if his ankle flairs up.
One last thing, I have no idea how much the "rust' should downtick Garrard expectations. If anything, looking at the first two from the data above it would mean he runs more, and against Houston that should bring good reults.

Gerrard had a lot of chemistry with Wilford last year. That might be worth a shot if
you have a hole at WR
you have a hole at WR

Good question. I have to think in a week where there are 6 teams off he would be about the 8ish QB.
I've got Vick and Favre this week so am debating picking up Garrard and giving him the start if Leftwich is out.
