texan279 said:Morency a 3rd down back?
no I didn't. They said (610am news flash) that the Texans see Morency as a 3rd down back and Gado more of a starting back.TexanFan881 said:I think he meant Lundy.

tsip said:Wow. We sure are making a lot of changes 'out of the box'--
1) not going to blitz like pre-season, just going to use the front 4
2) new RB's
3) Weary benched, McKinney starting
I think the 's are right in that this is going to be a very interesting year!!
GuerillaBlack said:We have Gado! Since when.
I think you are right about this and I agree about Ryans.Hervoyel said:The coaches weren't satisfied with what we had back there. Look at the draft and how we tried to trade up to get DeAngelo Williams before Carolina moved up and snagged him. We would have ended up without DeMeco Ryans and I'm glad things turned out the way they did but clearly even back at the draft we were looking for a RB.
For all any of us know we're still looking for a RB.
SESupergenius said:Wow, another Capers/Casslery player gone bad. Good pick up, this has Sherman's mark all over it.
texan279 said:Only thing I don't like is the no blitz thing, especially announcing it. All teams will have to do now is keep a RB/FB and or TE in to block to beat us up front now.
Grid said:I think with the blitz thing.. we are doing a trial by fire situation with our Dline.
We are gonna run an aggressive defense.. but to be successful we need to get pressure with our front four before we start throwing in huge blitzes. When our Dline starts getting pressure, its gonna get more exciting.
As for us not having many players left from our past drafts. I know we have Pitts, Johnson, Dunta, Peek, Mathis, Faggins, and Davis.. and that aint too shabby.

Indytsip said:...so you really think OUR front 4 can match up to 6 or 7? How many teams are successful in the NFL just rushing 4? Names, please?
One would think so, but a good day at the combine could catapult him to the top(see: Mario Williams, Antonio Cromartie, Thomas Howard, etc.) I'll be looking for either of the running backs coming out of Minnesota since they run the ZBS and their last two running backs, Laurence Maroney and Marion Barber, appear to be destined to pan out in the future, despite their "system."Frak The Jags said:Adrian Peterson is looking really damn good....We could end up with the other Bush (Michael Bush) with a late first round pick since his stock will drop after he broke his leg this season. Unless Dayne is the answer

yourfavoritetexan42 said:pshh ...our answer is a defensive back out of notre dame. Tom Zbikowski...I am telling you right now, he is the best talent out of this upcoming draft class...what a pure football player this kid is.
samomin said:According to TMQ (on ESPN Page 2), he thinks Manning is really good at throwing against blitz. I think he mentioned it in his column this week. Since I haven't seen too many Colts games I am inclined to believe him somewhat (Also he is a scholar so statistics might be accurate). We will see how it turns out on Sunday.
xtruroyaltyx said:I doubt it...
texan279 said:Manning is going to rip us apart worse than McNabb did, the only way to rattle Manning is to bring the house. No way do we get pressure on him with the front four alone.
El Tejano said:They are saying that Gado can come in and contribute better than Morency because now that Dayne is here Morency would be the third down back.
Now you possibly got Dayne and Lundy (for this week or until Gado gets acclimated).
Once Gado breaks starting line up you can go Gado, Dayne and then Lundy. Let Lundy run back kicks still.
thunderkyss said:Remeber that screen, or that pitch he got in Sundays game?? where he had like 12 yards in front of him........ he's going full speed, trying to cut & juke, then falls all over himself. It was 2nd & 8, & chances are good that he would have picked up the first down, against the opposing DB.
I think that might have upset Kubiak quite a bit.
O.G. said:He will, he's already signed to the practice squad and I think that's was the reason they traded Morrency. He mention wanting to have two big backs in Dayne and Gato and two young change of pace backs like Lundy and Taylor.
