Vonta has been here since the beginning of the Kubiak era and has started all 16 games for the past four seasons.
Here is the breakdown for total team rushing yards for since the Texans began play in 2002:
2002: 1,347
2003: 1,651
2004: 1,882
2005: 1,816
2006: 1,687
2007: 1,586
2008: 1,846
2009: 1,475
2010: 2,042
If you average the 4 Capers years, the average team rushing yards was 1,674.
Now if you just average the first 4 years Leach has been here(2006-2009) the average was 1649. 25 yards lower than the Capers era.
You guys obviously know that in 2010, it was the largest rushing total for the team ever when Arian Foster started.
So it brings me to my point, is Leach honestly the key to Foster's success? or are there other reasons why he had the season he did (ie; Fosters actual talent and drive to succeed, the addition of Wade Smith, O-line Chemistry, Chris Meyers' improvement, etc.)
If Leach is gone because of the money, I honestly would be okay with that. The team found Leach from the scrapheap, i'm sure they can find a competent replacement to him.
In conclusion, if Leach comes back, great. If not, i'm not going to be crying over him and proclaiming our rushing game is over.
