The running yards per carry was fool's gold yesterday. The Chiefs werent even gearing up against the run...except in cases where the ball was on their side of the field or in short yardage situations. In those instances, our running game failed...the true sign of a good running game is when you get those tough yards when you need them. In that regard, our running game failed yesterday. Had we gotten those yards, then the urgency of bringing Foster back isnt as high. Obviously, you start Foster the moment he's cleared...but as it sits now, the Texans almost need Foster sooner than that.

Either that or rupture every disc in his neck, blow out his knee, and lacerate his liver and retire before game 4. BTW, is it me, or is McClain starting to look related to Paul Bearer? :grin:

Is he wearing the Mariner cap because they play the Rangers next?.... If not, I'm immediately releasing him from my fantasy team. That is not cool, Arian.... Not cool.
I would love to play in your league, if that's the outcome. It's just fashion dude, relax, I have Bulls hat and had a Rangers hat (years ago) just for style.

All of 610 was preparing everyone for him not to go, like trying to give the Texans an out for it. It was pretty annoying.
According to the article: A report coming out of Atlanta is saying Foster will be active Sunday against the Falcons in a limited role. By the way is this source credible?
Yes, I think the source may have gotten the info from Foster himself. We all know Bill would tell us Arian's questionable even if he's standing in the backfield awaiting a carry. I remember hearing Bill placed the decision to play on Foster. Can't wait.
