you think Rudi is bettr than Davis ??? I would like to see him do half the things Davis has done behind this TERRIBLE o-line of ours !

You really need to watch Rudi Johnson more if you think DD is the better back. Rudi Johnson is top 5 in the LEAGUE in terms of pure, rushing talent.
 
C'mon..... any game in which the Texans were down in the 4th.... I called a draw play on 3rd down and got them right 95% of the time.... the offense is too obvious unlike the Eagles....

on another note.... Rudi and DD are tough to compare..... Rudi is powerback, DD is versatility back....

yeah i'm sure his o-line had absolutly NOTHING to do with any of his success !!! And our o-line had everything to do with D.D success :loser . Give me a break you cant compare pure rushing talent until you put them in the same scenario, and buddy the 2 teams and their o-lines are completly different !
 
The Texans were still primarily a passing team because that is where our playmakers are.

Playmakers?! Our only receiver playmaker is Dre..... [no offense to Gaffney and Armstrong.... they are good possession receivers, but not as gamebreaking as Dre]

Besides, we are a Capers team. He and Palmer are conservative folks.... they play to not lose, which means grind it out on the ground.....

Why cant you compare rushing talent? Rushing talent is an individual attribute. Give DD the Cheifs line and he still wont be a between the tackles rusher. Rudi Johnson however has the speed and power to run to the outside and the inside.
 
D.D. is a decent back...westbrook i think is a better reciever than runningback...if some crazy thing happens during the draft we could end up with benson or brown and we would have a duo really worth talking about
 
if not for the fact he has done so good as a #1 starter the last 2 years i might agree with you, but i have seen NOTHING that shows me any signs that he is a 3rd down back !
 
And your reason to further support your claim?

DD has done incredibly well on a team that is too predictable in offense, and with no major run support abilities. Heck, to gain 1000 yards again after the team switched blocking schemes is impressive enough.

And his dinky dink passes are nothing to scoff at.... he does average 8 yards a catch, which is a good chunk of yards for dump offs.

You must have missed the first 10 games of the season then because he was downright awful during that timespan.

He was playing injured during that span.

You tell me how someone produces in a physical game, when their tires need to be inflated?
 
hmm if thats the case he musta rushed for a thousand yards in 6 games, and i wonder why carr was sacked so many times this season ???? Well guys its offical o-line has NOTHING to do with anything, so Davis Sucks and carr sucks and Johnnson sucks (because carr cant get him the ball),,,, so heres how i see it we need to bench carr, Cut Davis and make Johnnson just a special teams guy, since every thing they do is not based on the help of any other players !!!
 
You are just adding to my argument. He is also not durable enough to be a true franchise back.
Click to expand...
By that reasoning, you are also saying that by last season, we can say LDT is not a franchise back either.

Heck, Jamal Lewis is not a good franchise back either! He missed a bunch of games with that ankle sprain, and he did miss that one season. Heck, he is an off-field liability too!

Man, you open my mind!

I never knew so many backs were terrible!!!!111one
 
sorry but they do, lets see the o-line protects carr so he can pass, a passing game helps the running game, while the running game in other words helps Davis, now since they cant protect carr it is VERY odd they cant run block worth a **** either (sarcasim). So lets see they put one man on Johnnson and fill the box with defenders since they know carr wont have time to get the ball to they WRs anyways, well this makes it very difficult for Davis to run past 9 guys while only maybe 1 of them are beign blocked, this in other words makes it hard to pick up yards, and at last this makes it to where he looks bad and fans like you dont think he deserves to be a starter !!!!
 
Tomlinson and Lewis are proven franchise backs, DD is not.
Click to expand...
They both rushed for 1000 yards their first two seasons [disregarding the one Lewis missed].

DD has done the same.... heck, he put up more TDs than Jamal Lewis!

btw, why are you stooping to the low point of having to call us "homers" to make you feel superior in argument?

Are you inferring we are homosexuals, and as such, insulting homosexuals as well?

No one ever put 9 guys in the box against us.

haha out of ALL i wrote there all ya could respond with is nobody ever put 9 guys in the box ??? hmmmmm ok well lets put it nice and simple ya might not think D.D is starting RB material, but thats really irrelivant because he will be the starter next season, and problably the season after that and after that. So regardless of what you our even all the Anti D.D people think, he has been the starter and will continue to be. You'll be on the bandwagon soon enough !

Homer doesn't mean homosexual.

Then what does it mean, then? Better yet, why do you need to insult us.....

it means we're ignorant true to our team fans, and are gonna agree and go for them no matter what the situation is !
 
And your reasoning is? You've seem to run out of supporting statements and facts to backup your argument.

Oh yeah, I ain't no homer then........ I don't like some crud we do with the team..... I call it tough love....
 
STEEL BLUE TEXANS said:
DD may be starting for us, but that doesn't make him a true franchise back. He is just a serviceable one until we find a permanent replacement.
Click to expand...


well thats you opinion, if we take a good running back in the draft you may be correct, but if not than he may very well be our franchise back ! I guess only time will tell !
 
why are you gonna rip on someone when the last 6 games he put up godly numbers, what has he done that makes you think he cant produce... was he injured, yeah but thats the NFL, those things happen, its not like DD is the first person to ever have a couple seasons where the athlete was troubled by injuries, it happens a lot, the guy is going to be in his 3rd year, and has 2 thousand yard seasons, yeah its only a thousand yards, but so what... if it wasnt for him those last 6 games we might have lost a lot more than we did.... and a homer has to deal with supporting a team, only when they are winning, thats a homer.... so it should not be used in a homosexual way, or a term in which to reference stupidity

been trying to tell them man, i guess some just wont accept that D. Davis is the RB of the present and the FUTURE !!!
 
DD is not a gamebreaker and isn't a threat to take it the distance, his durability is a question mark, he is not a workhorse type back that you can pound the rock with to kill some time off the clock, opposing teams don't have to gameplan their defensive scheme around him. DD doesn't force safeties to come into the box. Like I said, he is a very good 3rd down back but only a serviceable starter.

well see that may be why yuo and i are not the coaches, because the coaches obviously think he is a solid STARTING RB. And we can argue all we want but as long as they keep thinking that way he will remain our #1 RB !!!
 
Those last 6 games were meaningless because we were already out of the playoff race by then. The lack of a running game in the first 10 games is the reason we were already out of it.
 
the final 6 games, he was rippin runs no problem, and yeah he might not have the greatest speed, but a lot of backs dont, he is shifty and elusive, which is plenty, he has above avg speed...EVERYONES DURABILITY IN THE NFL IS A PROBLEM, NOT JUST DD

hmm and the lack of o-line resulted in the lack of a running game !!! Dont ya see the domino affect steel blue ? You think Denver just so happens to have a star running back in every person who runs the ball behind their o-line ????? I DONT THINK so theres more to it than that (geeezz i wonder what it could be) :hmmm:
 
Meaningless? We could've still made it at 10-6.

And DD was injured in those 10 games..... if we carried his healthy production over to those 10 games.... the 2004 Texans are a different story.....
 
i'll say it again !!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't recall an argument on your part. At least a good one to be specific
Click to expand...
Here's an argument. My arguments were countering your arguments. And you haven't made any fresh ones since. All you've done is restate what was countered, and called us homers in a negative manner.
