(Ben) Tate did not come on the field this morning. I was expecting him to do that...
Probably belongs in another thread but I am thinking Tate is PS material at this point, can't control injuries, but he's missed too much time going back to last year.
You realize we would have to waive Tate and give the other 31 teams a shot at getting him before we can PS him right? You do know some other team will gladly take him for nothing right?This not a good plan.

So let them pay his 2nd round salary to sit in the rehab tub.

Yeah man, that $405k is truly putting us in salary cap hell.
I'd rather see that $405K check have Foster's name on it. He's earned it.
but I've agreed not to harp on this any more. Could be that this is just a bump in the road and he heals up in the next couple of weeks and becomes part of our 2000+ yd rushing attack. At least I'm hoping that's how it unfolds.
I bet Arian doesn't. His check says $525,000 IIRC.
Casey looked very good today, getting reps at FB & TE. He's a very tough cover for LBs and his versatility (lining up in the backfield, on the line, in the slot) is crazy. I think Casey will become a big story this season.
Texans version of the Wildcat? If we can utilize him effectively, oppossing D's would have a hell of a time gameplanning. 2 backs out of the backfield that can catch and run? With AJ and OD on the field? Pick your poison. 200 yds rushing or 300+ passing.Casey looked very good today, getting reps at FB & TE.

Thanks. Couple of things, have you seen him in pass protection, a goal line situation, and has he carried the ball yet? I realize he may get no carries all year, but at some point a cute play will be ordered up.
Casey has been releasing much of the time on pass plays, but that would change in a blitz situation. There wasn't a lot of contact today, but I saw Casey block a lot in last weekend's practices. He's more technical than punishing. But, he gets into the hole and finds his man. No carries, yet. But it should be a possibility. Kubiak and Dennison hate the Wildcat, so I don't see Casey getting that. But, he could if allowed.Thanks.

I read that and CRINGED...when I hear "cute play", I see goal-line halfback passes. :kubepalm:

I didn't mean wildcat with a QB running the option. I was thinking of all the different ways they could keep D's off balance using regular sets but being creative with how they use Casey. It could be an absolute nightmare to try and stop.Casey has been releasing much of the time on pass plays, but that would change in a blitz situation.

I have the feeling that if Casey is not given the rock to run and throw occasionally, even with all of his versatile potential, he may end up being mostly a safety dump........and just another guy........especially if he cannot grade the road for the RB. And then, it becomes a telegraph for types of play when Vickers is in vs. when he is in. Just a concern.

So, what did you think?
I was impressed. At least he did better than I thought he would.
