-- Texans to Sign Dayne; Claim Roc Alexander --
Sun Sep 3, 2006 --from FFMastermind.com

The Denver Post reports the Houston Texans have agreed to terms with RB Ron Dayne on Sunday and claimed CB Roc Alexander off waivers. Both Alexander and Dayne were released by Denver on Saturday. The Texans are coached by former Denver OC Gary Kubiak. Houston's new GM Rick Smith also came from Denver this offseason. Dayne was a mild surprise in being cut by the Broncos. He was the starting tailback at the beginning of training camp but he slid to No. 4 after a turf-toe injury. He is healthy and may start for the Texans because of an injury to RB Domanick Davis.

Ron Dayne is washed up. If he couldn't make it in Denver, he will make it NOWHERE!

Can you site the reason he didn't make it in Denver??

Let's see... He was supposed to be the "power back".

Then, comes an UDFA in Mike Bell that surpasses both he (Dayne) and Tatum Bell to get the starting job.

Dayne then gets passed by another back because he may be "big" but doesn't run "big".

He's another bust.
 
KFFL is reporting the same thing as well:

He had turf toe and missed some practice and the team liked what they had in Mike Bell.
 
Might not be the ideal guy, but I'm sure that he'll come in handy sometime.

I'm glad to have him.
 
Ron Dayne is far from washed up!! I will never understand why we never used him when we needed him. Of course he scored big for us in San Diego and Dallas last year. I believe strongly had we used him in the AFC Championship game the outcome may have been different. I am not a fan of our coach and his decisions and our RB situation is a mess right now and to get rid of an experienced back with his strength is beyond me. I HOPE HE DOES WELL IN HOUSTON!!! AND A PART OF ME HOPES THIS COMES BACK TO BITE SHANNY AND THE BRONCOS IN THE BUTT!!!
 
NOOOOOO. As much as I dislike the signing, if he's a Texan now so be it. I'll cheer for him. Hopefully we get Ron Dayne that played at Wisconsin and not NYG/DEN Ron Dayne.

Look further into the stats; 8 games last year he recorded a carry:

Att Yrds Avg Lng TD
8 44 5.5 13 0
2 3 1.5 3 0
7 98 14.0 55 1
8 26 3.3 10 0
4 7 1.8 2 0
8 22 2.8 6 0
13 64 4.9 16 0

Totals:

We're happy about one good game? The last time he got 100 yards was the 3rd game of his 2nd year. Take away that one good game vs DAL and we're talking 3.7 ypc.
 
I'm not disappointed in the move. It's not like we're bringing him in here to be the starter. If all goes well with Morency and Lundy, then we won't have much use for him. He does give us some depth though and at least we have a veteran there.

when i look at those stats....i see a guy getting over 5 ypc....that isn't getting the rock enough. take away that one game and he is still almost averaging 4 yards a carry.

BTW those stats don't add up to your totals. EDIT - you missed a 3 attempt 6 yard game.
 
So will this finally give us a dependable short yardage/goal line power-back that we've been needing since, oh I don't know this team's founding?

Think he'll be better then Stacey Mack?

After comming to denver


NOTE: LOOK AT HIS MIDSECTION, THE GUY LOST OVER 20 LBS COMMING TO DENVER AND HE LOOKED VERY FIT. Last year during the preseason he was tearing it up as well. If he did not have the Turf-Toe he would be the starter. I think we are going to get a back that will inable us to cut BigMoney DD.

Sorry, missed 3 att 6 yards 2.0 ypc 4 lng 0TD. Jonathan Wells gave us 3.6 ypc last year and where is he at now? 2 games over 5 ypc, 6 under.

Exactly what I was thinking. He is experienced depth, no more.

I don't know? 1.5 ypc further back than what Ron Dayne got last year.

I don't think he is coming in to start....but he is a little more than just depth. The guy was penciled in to be a starter in a system we employ now. This isn't a bad pickup....i'm not sure who people were wanting on the wires....we basically picked up one of the best players on it. Unfortunately....GM's don't accidently press the wrong button and place Shaun Alexander on waivers very often.

Honestly....no I don't. At least Mack had had some success in Jax before coming to us and being a bust. Dayne has been a bust his entire career, what makes anyone think he'll suddenly change now? That being said, he is a warm body and we did need the depth with only Lundy and Morency at RB. I would hate though for Dayne to get any serious playing time though at the expense of our 2 young guys.
 
Good pickup imo. Dayne is a back that hasnt really gotten a fair shake in the last few seasons.

ANd as others have said, we arent bringing him in to start... the way I look at it is.. we replaced Chris Taylor with Ron Dayne..and im fine with that. Gives us a bit of veteran talent at RB..and brings in a guy who has been in the Denver system for a year.

Im hoping he will help tutor Lundy and Morency.

He won't. Although i wouldn't be surprised to see him in games we are winning and trying to control the clock in. Lundy and Morency don't have much experience to do small things like that....yet.

And what if he absolutely sucks?? Big deal. He was claimed on waivers for God's sake. I don't understand this feeling hopelessness like we just screwed ourselves by signing a guy off waivers. A guy who is familiar with an unorthodox system and still is very much serviceable.

Would that be Doug Dingleberry? Cause we already put Dom Davis on Injured Reserve for the season so we really can't cut him. About the only thing we could do at this point or if Dayne works out better then anyone could have thought, is to work out a settlement with Davis and then he goes away.
