It isn't just about the Texans, but I found his opinion about the Texans running game amusing.

Marcus said:The team's medical staff told Davis his knee always will be sore and will never again feel as it did before the surgery to remove part of his lateral meniscus. Davis apparently did not find that reassuring.
"Domanick's mind-set is key," Kubiak said. "Where does he see himself at this point? We told him we don't want him to get frustrated. The key is to not lose patience. We're not going to hurt him in preseason. If he's full speed in Week 4 or 5, he's going to help us, but we hope to get him back a lot sooner than that."
Said Davis: "They let me know they're behind me. I just need time to heal. I just want my knee to feel good. When it feels good again, I'll be ready to play."
Ahem . . Earth to Dominic: The doctors told you that your knee ain't never gonna feel the same. Either **** or get off the pot!
As for Cedric Benson . . well, like the old saying goes . . "what you did in college . . . . . "

Texans_Chick said:Ahem.
The doctors report was that he didn't have any new badness that meant he needed surgery. The MRI also suggested he had what they referred to as a knee bone bruise.
If you have a bone bruise that shows up on an MRI, that is not the same as knocking it into the coffee table or something. I'm not a doctor, and I shouldn't play one on the internet, and if a bone bruise is bad enough, you just can't function very well on it, even in you have a pain threshold of steel.
Since those quotes, he has been able to treadmill run without swelling. This is progress. Nobody knows how long it takes to get back from a knee bone bruise, or even the best ways to treat it, but it looks like everyone is just being patient, and there is no sense slagging DD over stuff.
For more information about the bone bruise, check out this somewhat dated fanblog entry.
The premise of the article is immensely ignorant. The Texans have the 3rd ranked rushing offense. The Saints are 20th. And the Texans have done it without putting first pick money at a position where players get hurt a lot.
xtruroyaltyx said:I tend to think his injury is more serious than we are led to believe also...He has been out for so long, and if it were as simple as that IMO, they should have a definite plan of action, and to me it seems that they have none...It's like a wait and see thing and that is never encouraging...
As the article concludes, "While bone bruising is being increasingly recognised, little is known about its short-term resolution, clinical symptoms and long-term prognosis." Translated: this stuff is bad, but we are clueless as to how bad.
Marcus said:Well, I can see where your "slagging DD" angle comes from. I just think there is something going on that 'they' are not telling us. 'They' don't have a very good record as far as being totally forthcoming regarding the injury situation of the players. I felt like the organization per se, strung us along with the Tony Boselli thing, and with other injuries thereafter.
And I just have this feeling with DD that the condition is a lot worse than a "bone bruise". (And I did read that article, BTW)
Divebomb said:I am so sick of the Northern Media...Those guys hate Texas, they hate people from Texas, and they hate Teams from Texas. What a idiot to even post that crap, everyone has their own opinion but if you have not seen our team, or even had time to look up the stats so far???
Divebomb said:DUDE they will never praise our team! We could win the Super Bowl and the ESPN front cover would either show the Yankees offseason moves, and if they did win the Super Bowl the headline would read, "How (BLANK) Lost the Big Game to Houston" Remeber the Rockets and how SI printed all of those Knicks Championship Covers just to have to turn around and reprint a million new coppies when the Rockets Won. Talk about idiots LOL
