Wow, maybe we can put all of our current RB's together and form some sort of shitty RB Voltron.
I don't understand the Dayne hate. He averaged a good solid 4 yards a carry and had only 2 fumbles in his 2 years here.
So which RB won't make the roster?
I expect we will draft a back in the 3rd or 4th. I wouldn't expect them to cut the young man.
Green, Brown, Taylor, Walker, Rookie? Who will be cut? I can only see them keeping 3 on the roster.
I vote we add a shitty RB Voltron Smiley to the selection.
Do we give him number 29 or 30? Perhaps we can give him number 29 1/2.
I don't understand the Dayne hate. He averaged a good solid 4 yards a carry and had only 2 fumbles in his 2 years here.
Barring serious injury, I believe we will keep 4 on the 53 man roster:
CBrown
AGreen
CTaylor
Walker or a rookie TBA..
My guess is it will be a late round rookie who can play special teams. Otherwise, he and/or Walker will likely find themselves on the practice squad. I see no way we draft a RB in the first 4 rounds!
As much as it is true that CBrown has been injury-prone, he has played in at least 11 games every season- that's not too bad!
So are you thinking we draft CB, OT, CB in rounds 1-4?
I don't think Taylor will be ready. I have not seen a RB come back from a serious knee injury in the following year and play well. I did like him before the injury.
Man I wish the draft would hurry up & get here, not because I'm tired of making/reading mock drafts either, its that darn GM Rick Smith before the draft even gets here he's gonna have all our needs filled & no reason to even make draft selections
You gotta' be kidding me.
The free agent move we make is for a guy who can't wrestle the starting job from LenDale White?
I want to publicly state that I am ready to fist-fight anybody who thinks this is a good move. He's injury-prone and M.I.A. as much as Green was last year.
Forget the details of the contract. I wouldn't care if we'd spent $1 on him. To me, that's $1 that could have bought a burger for Dayne.
LOL. I hate this team. We are so retarded when it comes to running backs.
Calm downI hate this team.
http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/sports/fb/texansfront/5618434.htmlBrown, who turns 27 next month, signed a two-year contract worth $3.6 million on Thursday. He received an $800,000 signing bonus.

God forbid Houston actually invest a high draft pick in a running back instead of just signing injury prone guys.
From the Titans message board, somebody actually sums up the Houston rushing game in one sentence: "God forbid Houston actually invest a high draft pick in a running back instead of just signing injury prone guys."

and their pair of high pick rb's (2nd's) are doing so well?
GP, I SHALL DEFY THOU

800K guarantee? I'm in. Looks like we have our third down back.
I said earlier that I will get on his bandwagon if he signs so I will back him as a Texan, but for whatever reason, either ineffective play or injuries, Brown has never played a full 16 game season.
Things that make you say "DAAAAMNNN"!!!!! You got....jacked up! JK, happy to see Brown is a Texan. Better to have a 2 year deal with a solid back than a 4 year deal with a RB that's over the hill. (*cough*Green)
actually his lack of lowering his head leads to many of his injuries. Many upright running styles lead to more injuries for backs. You always hear coaches talking about "getting behind your pads".....Brown runs fairly high for a rb.Has anyone seen Chris Brown run? I was looking over some of his footage and looks to me alot of his reasons for getting hurt are due to his aggressiveness in his runs. Dude does lower his head and takes a hit, and has shown some resilience in his running. Take the Simmons hit, which I feel is what kept Chris Brown from being better, he put his head down and got hurt but he wasn't scared.
You guys "pretending" that this might work out, and that we might get such-and-such out of Chris Brown....well, continue to delude yourselves. If it makes you feel good about this team's pathetic running back situation...then take the drug and be happy.
Texans fans love that clip (and it is good hit) but Brown came back into that game while Simmons was out for several games afterwards.
Curious, what divine knowledge do you pocess that leads you to KNOW that this is a bad signing?
It might be, it might not. But just because people do not agree with you does not make them deluding pretenders...
I am sorry did you see the contracts being thrown out for guys who suck like (Hate to say this) Julius Jones who is not one the field in the 4th quarter or on those tough downs and you would like the Texans to throw **** loads of cash for that? That would like promising a bunch of folks a very good bluesish rock band and giving the Hanson (I dont give a rats ass about what they are trying to portray with there so called new sound). It is just not only stupid but it does nothing to help this team get better by strapping a wad of cash to guys who suck, when you can sign someone who is good when healthy to a low dollar high reward contract.
TC, will conrrect me if I am wrong but didn;t they call Marvin Harrisons injury a bone bruise just like they did Green? He sat out 7 or 8 weeks and did not play and practice hard and he came back for the last playoff game and was atrocious and he was on the sidelines during the last drive. So please get off about the injury unless you will say the same things about Marvin harrison.
I think the way it plays out is instead of having 4-5 RBs that you are trying to figure out, you have Brown and Green splitting carries to keep each other fresh and healthy. You then draft a guy...maybe not 1st round...and you have those 3 and maybe Taylor. It is an upgrade in talent and we don't have a logjam of 5 guys who are mediocre. That's how I see them working it.

Malloy, don't go there, GP thought Carr was great, thinks Kubes is a bad coach and is transitional, thinks Sage is a savior and many other things.
As far the situation. There is nothing not to like. We didn't break the bank for the guy. He was coached up in Colorado's system by Gibbs when he was with Denver. He is probably the most talented back we have now.

I think Dickerson was 6'3" also...he was not a normal run of the mill back and I haven't seen anyone like him since him. Calvin Hill also ran well and he ran bolt upright. Brown has good cut and run ability. He should do well here when healthy.Eric Dickerson
This probably ain't about Brown anyway, but I always wondered when I was a kid and they bragged about Dickerson running with his knees so high--what about him getting his shoulder pads (head) down? I know he didn't run with his head between his legs.
Since I brought it up, does Brown get his knees high?
Brown is someone I've been REAL impressed with when I saw him play, but I'm clueless about how bad the injury problems may be.
