Maybe he is actually a doctor who "listened"I'm starting to think that CnD works for the Texans or knows someone on the Texans medical staff.
His assessment of our players injuries are incredibly accurate!

Uh, no to ALL of this.Great now we need a RB in the draft.
One year turnaround not looking so likely anymore.
Resign Tate, cut Foster is what I would do.
I wouldn't count on Foster if I were the Texans. That's all I'm saying. I said the same thing over and over again with Cushing's situation earlier this year and what I feared happened with him.Eh, while I am certainly no NFL starting running back, I had this same surgery a year ago and had a very speedy recovery - felt amazingly better six weeks from surgery and was back running without limitations shortly afterthought hat.
The docs may have better and more informed thoughts, but if his disk is pushed into the nerve then that seems to be one of the primary reasons doctors may opt for surgery - no amount of injections or therapy seem to alleviate that level of pain and discomfort.
I think he will be back and just fine next season.
haha so Minnesota should of cut Peterson after his ACL huh ? Yeah i cant believe they held on to that scrub. Wow some of you people crack me up haha.Great now we need a RB in the draft.

Cushing latest injury was hardly due to his first injury, that was a vicious block by Charles, and that would of messed a lot of people knees ups. Foster will come back just fine, hell look at Peyton Manning after all his neck surgeries he had.I wouldn't count on Foster if I were the Texans. That's all I'm saying. I said the same thing over and over again with Cushing's situation earlier this year and what I feared happened with him.
OOPS!!!No, Wood is on the Pats practice squad. He can be signed to any teams active roster.
Im no doctor, but I would think back surgery is just a but more serious than knee surgery. Oh yea and the whole Foster is nowhere close to the type of athlete All Day is argument.haha so Minnesota should of cut Peterson after his ACL huh ? Yeah i cant believe they held on to that scrub. Wow some of you people crack me up haha.
I can't rep CnD enough for what he contributes to this forum, but he's just sharing his expertise on a general level, without the benefit of having examined the players in question. That really highlights just how much the Texans obfuscate injury information and how much we cannot believe anything they say.I'm starting to think that CnD works for the Texans or knows someone on the Texans medical staff.

Every single person I know that has had back surgery either had multiple surgeries or were going to have a second procedure done in the near future. I have no faith in Foster returning to form and I wouldn't be surprised at all if he calls it a career. He's got other things he's into and would certainly be welcomed into the NFL commentator world. He's very articulate and quirky in a funny way.There was a Northwestern study published in the March issue of the Journal of American Sports Medicine that examined records of NFL OL and DL, who had herniated disc surgery during their active careers over a 2 decade period (~1990-2010) that were publicly available.......in order to determine their career outcomes, They found a total of 52. Not only did 80 percent of these particular players return to the game, they also played an average of 33 games during three years after the surgery. About half of them attained starter position. When you look at these surprisingly encouraging number, you must keep in mind that the 52 number was for those known to the public through the media and the stats through the NFL. The specific surgery and pathology in most cases were not available to assess "minor" vs "major"........and, we all know that public information released by the teams many times is of dubious accuracy. As we also know, NFL players have surgeries that are never made public. Not only that, but you need to ask yourself how many NFL players have had back issues, retired and THEN had surgeries, instead of opting to try continuting their careers through surgery. These latter players would not be counted in these stats and would likely add significantly to the "poor outcome" category.
There are no other studies I am aware of NFL players (including RBs) undergoing back surgeries. With this said, yes, OL and DL put great amounts of strain on their backs, but they do not typically sustain this strain under high impact situations from not only head-on, but also from the sides as is the case with RBs. Keep in mind that it is not uncommon that after one level of disc problems are demonstrated, other levels being affected may be not far behind. As disc problems may commonly be the result of compensation for other injuries, even if this episode of Foster's disc problem is surgically corrected, with his recurrent history of significant lower extremity injuries (and these are likely to continue to recur) , I would be very guarded about his long-term prognosis as a RB.
Hadn't been putting in my regular 30 hour days on the forum.... preoccupied with other crap. Just now finding out about Arian...... arrrggh.
I want 30 hour days.Hadn't been putting in my regular 30 hour days on the forum.... preoccupied with other crap. Just now finding out about Arian...... arrrggh.
I'm running low on koolaid.
Yeah you have to wonder how this offense would do these last 3 games with Foster. We can't seem to move the ball in the 2nd half because our run game shuts down.This game is why you need Arian. Tate cannot make the same plays........
He's only playing with cracked ribs... No problem yo!This game is why you need Arian. Tate cannot make the same plays........
Wouldnt that pretty much guarantee he has no relationship at all with Texan medical personnel?I'm starting to think that CnD works for the Texans or knows someone on the Texans medical staff.

And for those wondering, I've been medically cleared by my doctor.
I'll still wait on the "anti-awesome" results.For those interested, Arian's back on Twitter again (whoopee!), and tweeted this out earlier this morning:

Awesome! Can't wait to see him rip off another 1,400-1,500 yard season next year. Looking forward to it!http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2014/04/09/arian-foster-back-surgery-wasnt-as-major-as-it-sounded/
Foster claims it was not 'major'
With Arian saying it wasn't major, I wouldn't be surprised to find out they pulled the plug on him after 6 straight losses, like they pulled the plug on Matt... the fix was in & we were going to get that #1 pick.That's what I'm saying. The guy has been a touch down and yardage machine besides last season due to injury, but when he was in there he was effective. I don't see how so many have given up on him for half a bad season. I havent.

"So far I really love it," Foster said. "It's very versatile.
"Coach O'Brien has expressed many times how he wants to use me a lot out of the backfield. That's one of my strengths as a running back. So I'm excited about it."
...
"They have a lot of zone schemes, runs, every offense does," Foster said. "The way they want to use me out of the backfield as far as different alignments and matchups they want to have against linebackers and things like that."
...he is looking forward to working with O'Brien and his staff.
"They're good guys," Foster said. "They want to win. That's all you can ask."
"I know what kind of running back Arian is. He's a very special talent. He has a lot of tools that you can't coach. His elusiveness, his vision, his ability to catch out of the backfield. When he's healthy, I think he's definitely the best back in the league and I think he's on track to show that this year."
...
"I think he's very excited about this year," Brown said. "I've gotten a chance to talk to him a few times just you know his role in this offense and I think he's looking forward to it as I am too."
Damn right a healthy Arian Foster is the best back in the league, That boy can totally take over games. Defenses are in a no win when it comes to him. He can carry the ball and make you miss, our catch the ball and beat you.
Yes.Did any one else read the title, and die a little? Before noticing it was a old thread.
Dont see why seems a lot of people around here are ready to toss him to the curbDid any one else read the title, and die a little? Before noticing it was a old thread.
Yeah, me too. I just decided it wasn't worth arguing over. #23 will put that nonsense to bed when the bullets start flying.Dont see why seems a lot of people around here are ready to toss him to the curb

Sorry, it looked like the most current topic specific to Foster in the Texans sub forum.Yes.
