I second this, what a terrible thing to post, seems like Walking Dead and Game of Thrones are two things you cannot avoid spoilers on. This is most likely because both shows attract such a large group of people including a plethora of plebes.
Seriously? Agree. Hope he recovers; he's been a great player for the Texans. Alfred Blue is Payton-like in that his hesitance is Terrell Davis like... Alfred Blue sucks. Straight-up. The Von Wafer of the NFL.
Loved watching him play and it saddens me to see him go out like that ... Foster was the best running back to ever play in this town besides Earl and we may not see anything close to him in a Texans uni for many years to come .. He was the complete RB ..run ,catch did it all ..truly a sad day in this franchises short history
I read that the altered running mechanics caused by severe groin injuries like Fosters leads to catastrophic injuries like Achilles ruptures and non-contact ACL tears. I think we underestimate what a physical toll it takes to play pro sports. I get that people blame O'Brien, but this injury was going to happen sooner, or later.
Still don't know why he was in the game. This is like Boobie Miles in Friday Night Lights with the exception that BOB doesn't have half the brains as Billy Bob.
Thought Foster should've hung it up from his previous injury. He's been so injury prone in the last few seasons, he should retire already. Let our miserable franchise tank for a few years and hope we hit some home runs on our draft picks to pull us into mediocrity.
Cascade injuries are certainly a thing, and it's a testament to his ability that despite likely adjusting his running style to compensate for the groin, he was still able to run as well as he did. Like when Jamaal Charles and AP both came back from their ACLs. Even if they only returned back at 97% of their former selves ability wise, they were still good enough to dominate on a field of elite athletes.
Should Campbell be fired for having Tannehill in the game until 4 minutes were left? If you want O'Brien fired for other reasons - fine, but Foster's injury was a fluke and may have happened by simply walking to the lockerroom.
Foster is going to have an X-wife and baby mama to support... He couldn't retire. And I wouldn't be surprised to see him playing next year.
I do feel bad for Arian. Ever since he first got his chance on the active roster, he's been busting his behind trying to help this team win. Kind of ironic that his Texans career begins and ends in Miami against the Dolphins. He had his first real breakout game in the NFL back in 2009 in Miami. So many beautiful runs and catches. The team relied on him so heavily. He almost carried us to an upset win against the Ravens in the playoffs. Was an absolute beast in his prime. Will probably be a while before we see anyone like him tote the rock for the Texans again.
