    Thunder (Foster) and Lightning (Tate)

    The Texans have the best stable of running backs in the league: Foster, Tate, and Ward are all NFL first team starters. Not that Foster is slow by any means, but he is the workhorse of the team that can grind out large chunks of yards. Tate can flash through the line with blazing speed. Ward runs over people. This is a very impressive group and when they are all healthy the Texans have an almost unstoppable running game. No doubt they wouldn't be doing so well without and outstanding offensive line. The Texans are looking better by the day.

    Ward, too kind of. He could be the rainclouds that come after T&L do their thing.

    Foster & Tate almost sounds like a law firm, so I got:

    Foster & Tate, Running-at-Will

    Both will be 1000 Yard rushers this season most likely, that's pretty cool.
