    Tea in China?



    anyway - you guys are missing the boat here. You don't just hire Denver's offensive coordinator add 2 scrub RBs and suddenly think your can have 3 different backs rush for 1000 yards. You need a little something called an offensive line.

    We've never had a problem run blocking, look at Davis' numbers over the last three years. Our troubles have come in pass protection.

    True, now with Kubiak around to implement those special Denver blocking methods like illegal chop blocks and low blows maybe Reg... er Domanick can get 1500 yards.

    bennett is far from a scrub. he showed flashes and potential for greatness, and if nothing else, the big play, in minnesota, and he probably was misused there to boot. and he's getting paid virtually nothing.

    Unless Bennett makes a Garrison Hearst-esque recovery I'd say he's worthless at this point.

    That being said, He's pretty low-risk high reward at this point as well.

    Tice was a utter moron when it came to using Bennett -- (btw) he can still run a sub-10 second 100 meters. :eek:

    Who exactly said we would have three running backs with 1000 yards?

    I like this in theory.

    Seems like with the defensive line and now running back, the Texans are finally gonna have a little bit of depth which will give them the ability to run some fresh legs at people.

    I would probably do that. I like Greenwood, but we're a little overloaded at LB now that we're going to the 4-3. I'm sure Cowart could step right in and we all want more PT for Orr, Polk, and Ryans.

    I don't know anything about Courtney Watson. What's his story?

    I still can't believe we didn't draft Reggie Bush. I'm so gd mad about it, still. Its ****ing bull****. The worst decision ever in the history of the NFL. What a joke. I'm out in Richmond, VA right now for my new job and anyone who finds out i'm from Houston literally laughs at me for what the Texans did. I catch HELL for it. I just act like i'm not a big fan and that I don't really care, just to avoid any more physical altercations.

    You know what you look like to me, with your good bag and your cheap shoes? You look like a rube. A well scrubbed, hustling rube with a little taste. Good nutrition has given you some length of bone, but you're not more than one generation from poor white trash, are you, reggietodd?

    And that accent you've tried so desperately to shed? Pure West Virginia. What's your father, dear? Is he a coal miner? Does he stink of the lamb?

    You know how quickly the boys found you... all those tedious sticky fumblings in the back seats of cars... while you could only dream of getting out... getting anywhere... getting all the way to the FBI.
