I was saying before the draft they should take a RB early. I knew foster wouldn't play a full season anymore.
We have Blue so we are "ok" at RB. We just arent stellar at the position without Foster. Outside of maybe Forte I cant think of any other RB's with hands and route running ability that Foster has :shaq2:

Wouldn't mind looking at Pierre Thomas to use on 3rd downs. Now without Foster teams gonna load up the box

Why not just go all out and hold an open tryout for the remaining scrubs that dont have a team? :francis:

At least we aint trading a 1st rnd pick to the Raiders for Trent Richardson :lolbron::mjlol:

looks like we may sign him depending on his tryout tomorrow

Via Rotoworld:

If all goes well at Wednesday's tryout, the Texans are hoping to have Pierre Thomas participate in Thursday's joint practice in Richmond, Virginia.

Slept on it, as long as we get Foster back for the back half of the season we should be fine. WE HAVE to win 2 out of the first 3 division games and hold serve against 1 of the 2 afc games in order to have an outside shot of the playoffs. Luckily the NFC South is still terrible :skip:

    • Sunday, Sept. 13 vs. Kansas City Chiefs
    • Sunday, Sept. 20 at Carolina Panthers
    • Sunday, Sept. 27 vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
    • Sunday, Oct. 4 at Atlanta Falcons
    • Thursday, Oct. 8 vs. Indianapolis Colts.
    • Sunday, Oct. 18 at Jacksonville Jaguars
    • Sunday, Oct. 25 at Miami Dolphins
    • Sunday, Nov. 1 vs. Tennessee Titans
    • Bye
    • Monday, Nov. 16 at Cincinnati Bengals
We win against just these teams and we still got a shot, harder part of the schedule hits after the bye week :obama:

4-4 heading into an extra week of rest for Foster to prepare a dikk slap on the Bungles we should be just fine. We all know Dalton cant play against the Texans :bryan:

We maybe in better shape than I thought. The only team that may not be winnable is the Colts....you don't think we'll win against Tampa Bay?

I actually think we can win against Tampa the Panthers & the Falcons without Foster, Im just giving a worse case scenario that none of the teams we are facing outside of the Colts are world beaters heading into week 9. KC doesnt have Dontari Poe and Blue likes to run between the tackles, as long as the OLine holds we should be fine in that game.

True. Plus that Colts game is at home that'll even things out a bit. I'm interested to see if Pierre Thomas will be able to contribute(not signed yet but it's coming)

Nuk might be a top 10 receiver before the season over :patrice:
