Thanks for your support!
McClain reporting that Ajayi has not been signed...which means we just gave Ajayi 10 years and 500 milAl Michaels just said on the Monday Night Game that the Texans have signed Jay Ajayi! Don't have anything else that backs that up yet. If true that should help out the RB situation. Now they just need to shore up the O-line!

Also, I find it hard that Al would get that information from thin air.

Al Michaels trying to get me to delete my entire article.
There is none. He doesn't, and probably won't have to do much with Duke being RB1. Jay will have time to practice and learn the playbook, while gaining more confidence in his knee.I haven't heard any confirmation on signing Ajayi but I don't see the down side with doing so. He has been medically cleared from his ACL injury and he is a free agent we could sign for cheap.
Tell me the down side.

I agree. I don't understand why we don't at least bring him in for a look. But then again, I don't understand a lot of what this organization does.
Y'all have to remember it's not just about running. Pass protection is absolutely required. That's why O'Brien would seek a veteran for the role.
And I don't understand the knock on Ajayi. When he's healthy he's solid.
He isn't healthy though.And I don't understand the knock on Ajayi. When he's healthy he's solid.
Texans use up valuable draft picks on injured players from college, we shouldn't be surprised when they sign injured free agents.
Tell me the down side.
I just found a very useful site for injury history: The Sports Injury Predictor. I wouldn't rely on it for prediction though, as it seems more optimistic than CND typically was.
Here's Ajayi's history.

Can we please change the thread title until We actually sign this guy..
You’re absolutely right. I wouldn’t expect him or any coach for that matter to show their hand. I just wonder what the big freakin mystery is?! Just announce the dang signing and go about business. It’s not like they’re signing some big time name RB anyway! I wasn’t trying to come off like taking O’Brien’s media release as bible, was just merely sharing what he said.Yup, that must be that then. Surely OB, or any coach, would divulge his plans entirely and succinctly to the media just like that.

Well, yeah but the announcer made the breaking news last night saying they signed him after Miller’s injury. Either way, nothing to celebrate.Because he's not signed as of yet?

A good OL will make a RB better. Texans OL has been on top of the needed list.Give me QUALITY offensive lineman and guess what............ the RBs get magically better. Let's start there!!!!!
Please don't give me a RB coming off an injury or a great has been. Every year RBs come out of nowhere but how many of those are running behind a good offensive line.
To paraphrase the late, great Bum Phillips, there are two kinds of football players. Dem that's been injured. And dem that's gonna be injured.Please don't give me a RB coming off an injury...
Remind me where the Texans are positioned on the waiver wire?I don't understand the rush some here have in signing a guy not currently in anyone's TC when final cuts from the NFL will most likely yield a better player for us to quickly scoop up.

The same position where they drafted. #23. 22 teams would have a chance to take the RB cut that is better than Jay Ajayi.have no idea...6th I don't know...

??? Doug Martin has already been released. Is he better than Jay Ajayi? There's a lot of noise that Carlos Hyde won't make KC's roster. Is he better than Jay Ajayi? I don't know. I know Ajayi's available. now. Versus the RB in the bush that's pretty close in caliber to Ajayi.So you don't think that we'd be able to find someone that's been in a TC, in shape & ready to go over a guy who we don't even know where he's at physically?
