Texans maybe interested in Lendale White?

Well I know some people will be happy, he is worth a look for sure, but I wouldn't be comfortable giving him more than short-yardage and goal-line carries at this point. We still need a home run threat like 08 Slaton.
 
I call it speculation at this point.

Insert a running back *Lendale White* and add teams looking to improve their running game *insert Texans* and there's a story.

I know there is some Titan/Reggie Bust stink on Lendale White but he is effective moving the ball in the situations we have been poor in.

I'm hoping '10 Slaton bounces back to '08 Slaton form myself or a draft pick can help out but I for one would like to see White in a Texans uniform.... or perhaps one and a half Texans uniforms.
 
Would you trade our first round pick for DeAngelo Williams?

The Carolina Panthers have the luxury of two potentially dominant running backs on the roster, in spite of the fact that both battled injuries in 2009. So is it time to cash one of them in to try and move back into the first round of the draft?

In addition to the Julius Peppers saga, that's the top offseason question they must address, according to Bill Barnwell of the Football Outsiders. Barnwell thinks they might move DeAngelo Williams to the San Diego Chargers in exchange for the Chargers' top pick (No. 28 overall). In the same vein, it's possible the Panthers might give the Houston Texans a call, since they need a top RB, and could return a slightly higher pick (either No. 19 or 20, depending on a coin flip).

kubiak wanted him coming out. we got demeco & winston/spencer instead thanks to the bills.. personally i think hes too injury prone to invest that much in. good player though
 
There's a scene in E.T. that gave me a great idea on how to use LenDale White in the red zone. So I used that inspiration to conjure up a photoshop image here:

He had 7 TD's as a rookie and 15 TD's in his second year. He only had 2 last year due to CJ has a stoopid year.

I would sign him. I think he could very well be a Bettis reincarnate. (The Rams gave up on him early, big fat bastard of a back. Bettis didn't tear it up early in his career either.)

White is no way like Dane the one yard train. White actually hits the hole plus he brings a much needed attitude to this team.

But thats my opinion.
 
I think he would make a good addition to this team. He definately has fresh legs. We just need someone to actually block for him. It would be our 3rd ex-titan rb.

The Houston Texans star rookie running back Steve Slaton from a season ago seemed to lose his step in the 2009 season.

He went from a 1200 yard season to 400 yards in 2009. Even though there was apparently a problem with Slaton's arm this season, the Texans will probably look to pick up a running back to help their great air attack.

This is where LenDale White comes in.

Even though he isn't going to light up defenses, he can still pick up three to four yards on a first down carry. Also due to the Texans below average O-line White's powerful running style could come in handy.

The Texans have a great duo in Matt Schaub and Andre Johnson, Imagine if defenses had to prepare for a rushing attack too. He has the ability to shake of defenders and has the size to push for that extra yardage.

Living in Tennessee the past few years I had the chance or misfortune to catch alot of Titans games on TV and I can say that there were times White seemed to be lazy but most of the time he worked his butt off and was a solid back. I think he would be a great addition as a short yardage and 2nd half with the lead back and it's always good to have multiple backs. Look at the Titans for example, They haven't had 1 single great back since Eddie George and still managed to win alot of games with medium to little talent at QB.

I'd love to see White in Houston. My personal opinion though.

Ah geez, had Lendale come to Houston earlier we might have been able to see what Travis Johnson could have been since he wouldn't have been able to eat himself in to crappiness. (Of course he could have just sucked just as much 30 pounds lighter.)
 
I would love to sign White, he has been on FA wish list all season. He was a solid college RB who I predicted would be a very good Pro. Better than he more famous teammate, Heisman Trophy Winner Bush, well at least a better RB.

White has not had a lot of miles put on him, he should have a chip on his shoulder, and he can show the Titan twice a year they made a mistake.

He also appears to be a good team player, having shared the ball in college, and in the pros. In the games I saw CJ blowing up, i always saw White being one of the first ones on the sideline to chest bump him. Takes a real team player to be that way.

As for the question of trading a 1st round pick for DeAngelo Williams? I don't. Not even a third rounder. He seems to always be hurt.

I think this would happen more because of the fact Kubiak wanted Williams. To think they were going to trade that 2nd round pick that landed us Demeco Ryans to get back in the first round to select Deangelo Williams. Chicago beat us out. Thank God.

It would be nice to end up with DW though after all that.

The way I see it is that if our offense could've sustained just a few more drives in our losses, we would've won those games. I recall seeing Lendale run one in on us on MNF and thinking if we had him on the last series we would've put the game away simply because our offense would've stayed on the field.

If I can get a veteran power running back in the 2nd round, I'll go for it. He's been in the league for four seasons but after this season it was really like 3 seasons. He's young, and it would be nice to have a guy in our backfield that wants to stick it to VY and The Titans.

Everyone wants a young back but for some reason don't want him?

Agree 100%. I'd like to see Lendale as a Texan. Plus you know he'd play his tail off against TEN.
 
I heard we wont take LT cause of the mistake with Ahman Green.
I hope we wont take Lendale cause of the mistake with Chris Brown.

Learn from your mistakes!!!

Explain to me how Chris Brown and Lendale are related other than Tennessee?

Not the same situation.

No kiddin. Lendale White isn't injured all the time like Brown and he actually gets the tough yards. No real comparison. White also has fresh legs because he hasn't been over used so the Texans would get an experienced back with low mileage. I think it would be a great pick up for the Texans and it would allow the Texans more flexability in the draft. I still say they need to sign an experienced dt like Wolfork. Most dt's take years to develop and the Texans need help now. Maybe Dan Williams or Pryce could come in and help right away but there is no guarantee in the draft whether either would be there when we pick and whether either will make it in the NFL.
 
If you want a RB who might be availabel and cheap, look at the Raven and Willis McGahee? 12 tds in only 34 yds per game. That is red zone threat.

But he might be over priced like most guys drafted in the 1st are.

Lendale compares more to the Cedric Benson situation, so hopefully we do learn from our mistakes and sign the guy.
 
I heard the Titans are looking to deal White to the Chargers for Cromartie.

How would you guys feel about Jamal Lewis for short yardage ?

Pro Football Weekly reports the Minnesota Vikings appear to be a team that is prepared to move on without pending free-agent RB Chester Taylor. Although they appreciate Taylor quite a bit and would like to retain him, they know they probably can't afford to keep him at the salary and opportunity he's likely to get elsewhere.

And the Texans better be there the second he becomes a FA.

I'd really be for this guy. Low-mileage. Can catch a pass. What's not to like?
 
http://espn.go.com/blog/afcsouth/post/_/id/9611/mailbag-lendale-whites-value

second one down.

It is mentioned that White could potentially be had for a 4th round pick.

I agree with most people when they say no to giving up a 2nd for Lendale white. However, if we can get him for a 4th, it might be different. What do you guys think about it if he only costs a 4th?

I do not know how well he pass blocks, but he could be a good short yardage guy as long as the O line gets a slight upgrade so they can open up a hole big enough. That hole has to be 2x as big as the one for slaton.

This is the guy who will be our big FA splash. I have a feeling.

Could be more of what he had around him then the fact that he's on empty. Obviously he's not 23 years old but what did Cleveland have on offense to stop teams from stacking the box ?

I didn't watch many Browns games but they said on NFL Live that Mangini pretty much overused him early in the season until he got hurt because he was all they had to rely on.

Not saying that I'd be dying to have the man at RB, but if it's short yardage then he'd be someone to look at.

I have never heard he can't.

Age is the only concern here, but for three years, he's taken very little damage while Adrian Peterson ran for miles and fumbled like Steve Slaton.

Chester would definitely be worth signing to split carries for the right price.
 
I'm not sure where I got this idea (ok, maybe I do), but I don't think we'll be trading 1st day draft picks for anybody, much less a RB. We'll likely draft one in the 2nd or 3rd and possibly bring in an UDFA.

Y'all that are wanting to trade a 1st rounder for a RB are being goofy, IMO of course. We've yet to find us one yet, but RB's that fit this system can be found in mid to later rounds. I just think, unless there's an "Adrian Peterson" type back, most RB's aren't first round worthy any more unless you can afford it. Meaning, if a team didn't have other glaring weaknesses that took priority, they could afford to spend a first on a RB.

I'd be alright with White if it was for a decent contract and we still picked up another back in the draft.

Slaton/Foster/White/Draft would ease my worries going into next year
