LT is special. He does not needs holes, or offensive lineman for that matter. However he is one of a kind. I think the Texans will continue to build thru the draft and look ahead....not the kind of situation where you want to throw a lot of money at a back who is getting older and has had some injuries in the past.

Yeah, they can't hold James, Harrison, Peyton, Wayne, and the rest of the offense and expect their defense to improve.

But where did you get your source? It's hard to think that the Colts would let a guy like that go, especially now that he's performing after recovering from that big injury. I'd let a whole bunch of guys go before James.

I would love to see Edge on our team, however I don't see it happening. I'd rather see the Texans go after FA's on the Defensive side of the ball.

No disprespect to anyone who likes Davis, Wells, and Hollings, but there is a HUGE difference between James and backup running backs. James is a feature back, who can carry the load if he has to, and has the combination of all of our backs. Yes, it may be early to give up on our backs, but if you have the chance to increase your team, you do it, and in a big way. Take for example, if T.O. or Randy Moss was available and could afford them without hurting your team, would you wait for Bradford to continue developing, or Armstrong to continue or JG? I don't think so, if you can hit a home run, why play small ball with doubles! If James is interested, best believe, Charlie C and McNair will trip over their feet trying to get to bank and their check books!

Thanks Vinny, I'll give it a try next time I read something worth posting.
