I'm reading these boards and am seeing a lot of people talking about Slaton's size and comments that kubiak made earler in the season where he said that Slaton wore down a little. That was before week 10. After Ahman Green went down and Slaton became the "workhorse" I saw no signs of this kid breaking down. He was strong after the 3rd qtr, and i remember reading that he led all rb's in yardage after the 4th qtr. he also got stronger as the season went on.
I don't know what is not to like about the kid, he's quick, he's tough, he catches the ball....I think he could add a few pounds of muscle this offseason and be a beast. right now he's 5'10 and 190 lbs. with 10 pounds of muscle to his frame he could be as good as another guy that was once thought to be no moree than a scatback, Brian Westbrook (who is 5'10 and 203 lbs).
As i said I don't understand the talk that says that Houston will bring someone in to timeshare with this kid, doesn't make sense to me.
I think he could be a top 5 back for a few years ( he was #4 in my PPR).
Anyone else agree
