We'll see how AD comes back after missing so much time. Will it be business as usual or will he be rusty as hell? Will he have lost a step? I mean, he's 30 now, and just missed an entire year, and he hates the team he has to play for because they threw him under the bus last season so it wouldn't be crazy if he was a bit off....that said, AD is a freak that you can't ever fully discount.
Ding! Ding! Yao Ming 2.0. The Second Broken Dynasty. Would love to get a non-porcelain RB that is at least league-average.

What has he had now, seven seasons? Of which he's been healthy for two of them? Yeah, it's more common than not nowadays. But I gotta say, I really miss the days of Earl Campbell, John Riggins, Emmit Smith, Barry Sanders... guys who weren't so damn fragile. I swear, I think Arian coughed once and strained his groin.
Looks like the Foster fam took exception to a tweet implying Foster shouldn't have his brother as a trainer anymore...watching Hard Knocks, it's clearer that it's a blood issue more than it's a professional one. Foster's brother needs advise Arian to seek out other professional help because Arian isn't going to diss his brother like that. Maybe they won't be able to do more for him, but how do you not look into it?
Yeah when your running style is "kill all defenders" you'll rack up injuries at a catastrophic rate. Arian gets injured just walking around the Galleria.
It really makes me think that Foster can come back strong sooner rather than later. They don't want to pay Pierre $2M or so and then have him play spot duties once Foster returns. I still think Pierre would be a good 3rd down/every 3 or 4 series kind of back for this team but won't lose sleep over this if BoB thinks we don't need him just yet.
From what I hear he's having complications in his ACL recovery. He may even miss the 2015 season. Otherwise, I do like the guy.

That's exactly what I've been hearing. Given that his groin injury wasn't as severe as expected, and that the surgery was very minimal, I was predicting his return to come before we play the Colts. Which would be huge since it's a 4 day turn around on a ****ty Thursday night game.
