Thanks for your support!
good idea I thought we were going to be getting some news. nobody really knows anything yet on how serious it will be twoards the season Hook'em but hopefully in the next couple days we'll hear something on his progression.ArlingtonTexan said:hook'em I am going to change the periods to questions.
I would rather give the rookies a shot and see how there camps come along and who knows Morency might come around. He has all the same skills as DD with alittle more speed. He just doesnt' have the since of feel for the game. I like Wali Lundy though and at basically 6'-0", 220lbs playing weight coming from an team with the same o-line Blocking Scheme, I think he can flourish IMO. If they can't cut it, then go after Brown, Benett, A Train from Chicago, etc.Sportsfan said:bring in Chris Brown, he wants out and it'd be good to stick it to Bud.
Maybe Saturday morning to see if there is any of that "post workout swelling". The first full week should be the most telling.MorKnolle said:Don't know anything, I guess we'll all see Friday morning at 8:30 am, I'll definitely be there to see our guys get to work.
Do we know if he'll even be participating? Or will he be sitting out?Runner said:Maybe Saturday morning to see if there is any of that "post workout swelling". The first full week should be the most telling.
DD's health is one of the higher items on my worry list.
I hope he is well and will make the season opener..Davis is nice but he needs to stay healthy...with this zone offense, he is subject to gain 1500+ yards..HOOK'EM said:Has anyone herd any news on DD, is he going to be ready for this season? Are we still lookin' for another vet. running back?
why do you say that buddy???xtruroyaltyx said:I don't think we will miss DD much to be honest...
I just think that we will find another back that is capable of being a quality starter...i don't think DD is the kinda guy you miss...He is the kinda guy you say "oh well" about, and move on...Rosewood said:why do you say that buddy???
lol...i guess i feel you on that...he is a great back though...he just get hurt often....he is not the power guy and coach K will get him out of that situation...I honestly hope he is alright and we find another back..two would be great..xtruroyaltyx said:I just think that we will find another back that is capable of being a quality starter...i don't think DD is the kinda guy you miss...He is the kinda guy you say "oh well" about, and move on...
xtruroyaltyx said:Well If history holds true...Denver doesn't seem to place high value on the running back position...And IMO, DD is Good...not Great...The Texans don't have any "Great" players...IMO...at least not yet...
I like those "oh, well" backs that average over 1,000 yds on less than a full season of games for 3 years. I suggest that every time DD runs the ball, the fans scream "oh, well". In the new system, he should get 1200 yds even if he does miss a couple games. But this has been discussed on many other threads.xtruroyaltyx said:I just think that we will find another back that is capable of being a quality starter...i don't think DD is the kinda guy you miss...He is the kinda guy you say "oh well" about, and move on...
I think Davis is a special player, but for the sake of the offense and maybe more importantly for the sake of Davis' own career, they need to find him some help. I'm not an A. Smith fan. Hopefully Lundy or Morency will step up.Meloy said:I like those "oh, well" backs that average over 1,000 yds on less than a full season of games for 3 years.

you are absolutely correct...without any help Davis season will be doomed once again...AFD1717 said:I think Davis is a special player, but for the sake of the offense and maybe more importantly for the sake of Davis' own career, they need to find him some help.

You are a true moron. We definitely wouldn't miss fans like you, if you left. DD has carried this team on his back. "Oh well", you're an idiot.xtruroyaltyx said:I just think that we will find another back that is capable of being a quality starter...i don't think DD is the kinda guy you miss...He is the kinda guy you say "oh well" about, and move on...
gpshafer_1976 said:Bring in Chris Brown.
He probably asked for a trade because he knows we're in need of a back.
So where is your medical degree from? Exactly what did you think when you examined Davis' knee?gpshafer_1976 said:And IMO, he's going to need more surgery and a whole year of "easing back into the system."
I think you bring in Chris Brown, see what happens.
Runner said:DD's health is one of the higher items on my worry list.
1. According to a poster on this board, a guy who is well-versed in sports medicine, DD's symptoms COULD be indicative of a knee with fragments or clutter left in the knee after surgery. This has been causing the problematic swelling, and it would require another procedure to go in and get it clean.killeentexan said:So where is your medical degree from?

Chris Brown wouldn't make it through 2 games with us before spraining his mangina
He didn't sit out OTAs.Runner said:I've changed my mind. IMO, I think that Davis sat out OTAs as a precautionary measure and to save miles on those running back legs. I've heard he's a quick learner of systems so by paying attention in meetings and participating in training camp he'll be well versed in the offense and ready to go when the season begins.
1,000 yards isn't what it used to be...So thats why he is an "oh well" back...He is not on the level of some of the elite RB's in the NFL...IMO, we will find another back that can get atleast 1,000 yards...DD is not a one in a million type player...he is a dime a dozen...Meloy said:I like those "oh, well" backs that average over 1,000 yds on less than a full season of games for 3 years.

I agree 100%. We could actually find a better more durable RB.xtruroyaltyx said:1,000 yards isn't what it used to be...So thats why he is an "oh well" back...He is not on the level of some of the elite RB's in the NFL...IMO, we will find another back that can get atleast 1,000 yards...DD is not a one in a million type player...he is a dime a dozen...
I know what you are saying and would have agreed two days ago; I think I was one of the people that talked about his knee swelling after workouts on another thread.gpshafer_1976 said:He didn't sit out OTAs.
The guy tried to do some reps of some sort (even if it might not have been with the rest of the team) and he couldn't do it without swelling occurring.
A dose of reality for all of us would be nice. And I know that the Texans P.R. deptartment (coaches and DD included) are trying to spin this as positive as they can, which they should, but we need to be ready for the very real idea that DD might be sitting out for a lot longer.
Then why hasn't it been scoped already?painekiller said:A clean up should take a guy a few weeks to recover from. If he has some scare tissue that needs to be addressed, they will know real soon. If he is unable to go this weekend due to swelling look for him to get scoped real soon and then be ready for the regular season.
If this is a chronic problem then sitting out the year will not improve it.
Once again, you have proven what a true moron you can be.xtruroyaltyx said:1,000 yards isn't what it used to be...So thats why he is an "oh well" back...He is not on the level of some of the elite RB's in the NFL...IMO, we will find another back that can get atleast 1,000 yards...DD is not a one in a million type player...he is a dime a dozen...

I don't know about all that......... get him some help as in Offensive line maybe.Rosewood said:you are absolutely correct...without any help Davis season will be doomed once again...
I like DD, but it had nothing to do with Confidence..... Buffalo beat us to the punch(I think it was buffalo)...... and didn't we get a couple of Backs out of the draft??Ibar_Harry said:I posted this in another tread, but there is news by DD.
If you go to multimedia on this web site you can listen to some of the players reporting to camp. Heading the list was DD and he looks and sounds good. I think he is quite confident and expressed his appreciation of Kubiak have enough confidence in him that they didn't draft RB.
Great news. I like the guy and want him on the field for us.aj. said:DD looked good this morning in practice. He ran well. I spoke with him briefly and he said he feels good and that he was glad to be back on the field. He looked really upbeat - even after practice, unlike earlier this year when he was a bit more guarded with his answers about his health. Now, what happens when the real hitting starts is another story but at least so far so good.

I agree we both of you. Kubes and the boys were sold on DeAngelo Williams. The Bills up the bid, and BECAUSE OF CONFIDENCE the Texans did not response, not wanting to give more than a 2nd and 4th for Williams.thunderkyss said:I like DD, but it had nothing to do with Confidence.....
