[HUGE SHOCKER] Texans announce Ahman Green is nursing a sprained ankle

yeah, I really don't understand the clamor for him. I understand the low risk, but there isn't some high reward there.

He was a total bust in the nfl. Character, off field behavior, durability, ability ... you name it and he sucked at it.

 

Before him, I cant think of the last time a running back flourished in Chicago...

Benson would be an upgrade over Green

 

The only reason there is clamor about him is because of the UT fanboys around here. There is no Clamor about Benson in any other state.

 

What else is new? The guy was injury prone all his career (excluding couple of good years in Green Bay) and now that he is old it is just showing even more. I say cut him and give the younger guys a chance especially Slaton. Benson was overrated in college and never showed anything in the NFL. Either way I don't think the Texans will do anything better than .500 this year.

 

Thomas Jones flourished in Chicago at the very same time Benson was there. They were very stupid to get rid of him.

 

Shaun Alexander still around?
Surely he is better than what we have now.

 

So are you saying we shouldn't even bring him in for a workout? Everything you're saying is the truth but with our RB situation, I really don't see how it could hurt.

And if you look at the RB FAs right now, there isn't a whole lot to choose from. Bell would be a very viable option but I believe we brought him in lastweek but never heard anything about it. We could go with retreads in Dayne, Gado, etc...but even though Benson hasn't shown much, he probably has the most upside out of any of the RBs right now (which is pretty sad).
