Kubiak is a former QB and Antowain Smith isn't exactly a HOF running back. I'm sure they'll do a great job, but nothing compares to having a player of Jerome Bettis' caliber teaching you the game.

the wonger need food said:That's a tough one. He's only had 1 good season. He fumbles a lot and can't stay healthy. But he appears to be the best RB available and the Texans might be getting desperate now that they've seen where Domanick is.
I know that he doesn't have much say in the matter, but Houston is about the only place he has a chance to be a starter.

MorKnolle said:I doubt the team will make a move for Bennett, and if it happens it won't be for another week or two until they have a better idea of what they already have at the RB position, maybe even after a preseason game or two. I really don't like the idea of giving up a 3rd rounder for Bennett, he is very fast for a RB but he has had fumbling problems and plenty of injury problems, and I don't think we are in that desperate of a RB situation.
No way do we give up a third for this guy. I say we limp along (no pun intended) with what we got this year and address RB in the offseason if these guys don't pan out. Denver was the second best rushing team in the NFL with Tatum Bell and Mike Anderson last year. Davis, Morency, Smith, Lundy, and Taylor can at least be good enough to put us middle of the pack.the wonger need food said:Adam Schefter is reporting on NFL Network that the Saints are asking for a 3rd.

TexanFan881 said:Giving up a third I think is reasonable. Why not? I mean look at our third round pick last year in Vernand Morency. There's a 50/50 chance that the player we pick is going to pan out. Let's fix the problem and get a solid starter in Michael Bennett to fix the problems we have now. I think Lundy, Smith, Morency, and Taylor can all pick up some of the slack but we'd be a lot better off with Michael Bennett if he can stay healthy.

LikeABoss said:Should help LJ out alot, they already lost Priest and now Roaf.
texan279 said:The more I think about it the more I think we should go after Bennett. IF DD is unable to perform this season or play at 100%, we will have to rely on a 34 year old vet, a 6th round rookie, two undrafted rookie free agents, and a second year guy who has started one NFL game in his career to carry the load. Unless one of the rookies turns out to be one of those "diamond in the rough" finds or Morency can step up, we are going to need a solid experienced running back if one becaomes available. Sure Bennett has had injury problems and has had problems fumbling, but DD is still having injury problems and had fumbling problems in the past.
Yep this was a herpes thread no doubt. Did it break the record ? The day this turd sinks to page two....the "off" season's over. My respect for Rick Smith just went up ten fold. Don't over pay or someone else's garbage.texan279 said:Now this thread can die lol....
thunderkyss said:When I look at Antowain Smith, I see a guy who could do for us what Terrell Davis (another nobody before the run blocking scheme)did for the Broncos........ I think he is that type of runner, or can be in a run blocking system.......

Saints | Team acquired 2007 fourth-round pick for Bennett
Wed, 2 Aug 2006 23:07:05 -0700
Jim Thomas, of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, reports the Kansas City Chiefs traded a fourth-round pick in the 2007 NFL Draft to the New Orleans Saints in exchange for RB Michael Bennett, according to league sources.
I would think if we were in the running for Bennett and we offered a 4th the Saints would have taken it over the Chief's 4th since our pick will more than likely be higher than the Chief's in '07.
TexanFan881 said:Wow we could have offered better. That's disappointing. We must have been trying to give them a fifth or we were only offering players. :brickwall Hopefully this means we're looking hard at Chris Brown or we're looking good at RB.

Numbskull said:Giving up a 3rd round pick for Michael Bennett would have been absolutely insane. A 4th round pick is an ok deal, but not really a favorable one in my opinion for the Chiefs.
Think about it. Who would you rather next year? Michael Bennett or a Charles Spencer/Eric Winston type?
