    Awesome. Get it done. A relatively minor move like this would be huge for our offense. We missed having a blocking FB last year, especially since Kubes tried to plug Casey into that role instead of using him to his strengths.

    Me too. It's time to take a risk.

    Look at Janoris Jenkins who is better than Claiborne (top 10 pick who cost them valuable picks).

    I hope. Pretty good blocking FB...I had a back and forth with justtxyank about Foster, but in regards to ypc, He is correct.
    Foster can get that ypc and long runs up with better blocking alone. Now if he gets his diet in order he will return to having special seasons...

    was never terribly impressed by him in JAX. But oh well. Each of those FBs has left here with a solid contract--can't argue w/that

    Casey masquerading as FB and not replacing Dreesen hurt us just as bad as the retooled line in the run game. I'm all for bringing in a real blocker again.

    MJD has been a multiple rushing yards per season champion while at JAX, you gotta give Greg Jones some type of credit for that.

    Had to find somebody who had bigger arms than Casey! Plus he' s gotta be begging to get out of J-ville so maybe he takes a little less to come to a contender.

    I love this guy, MJD always mentions him as a key to his success. Would be an awesome move, imo.

    After a slow start, Texans having a nice offseason. Hopefully they draft smart too.
