You could drive the proverbial Mack truck though the holes he runs through ..... which is a good thing. This IS the Denver offense and RB's can look really good in that space. (esp. when it's as prolific as our version) Combine this with what else we've had in that backfield ...not much comp......and sure Foster looks good. The Broncos were always drafting low to pick up their backs. Don't get me wrong I like Arian.He's always gotten to the hole well and he can get you a little extra. I'm just skeptical when it comes to his durability in carrying the ball 25 times a game. Mix that with our lack of any quality depth/punch it in issues and it would seem we need another back at minimum to complement him.
He can't suck worse then Myers and I thought it had more to do with Pouncey then his overall performance but saying that the Steelers O Line has been pretty bad so probably right.
I think Myers is a bit unfairly maligned by the casual fans and on this message board for that embarrassing clip against Kris Jenkins in week 1 last year. The guy isn't pro-bowl by any stretch of the imagination, but I think he is pretty close to an average center in this league. Maybe slightly below average, but not bottom of the barrel terrible like so many want to portray him.
Pouncey can play either center or guard. The Steelers o-line is terrible so if he can't make it there, he probably can't make it anywhere else. I am not a big fan of Myers but last year he had an ankle injury all year so let's see he plays this year. Texans have solid depth at the interior of the offensive line. Nobody is a Pro-Bowl type player but they have like 3 or 4 solid lineman.
Thought we were talking about Mike Pouncey for a second there. Dude don't know how to snap the ball. Anyhow, meh on Hartwig. Stick with what you got for now.

no one on that list jumps out at me as someone the Texans should go after, a couple #6 receivers and a couple QBs but that is about it
Yes. He also threw 19 interceptions that season with a mediocre completion rate. Needless to say that I won't be drafting Fitz tomm in my fantasy draft.
Well, either with Leinart or Anderson, the Cardinals were doomed at the QB position. and fitz is not going to get the numbers he got with Kurt Warner.
Like I said, Anderson outplayed Lienart this preseason. And during that season in question, I believe Anderson made the pro-bowl and led the browns to a 10-6 record.
Apparently Kris Brown has plantar fasciitis and because he's "injured", we can't waive him until we reach an injury settlement with him. So he's still technically a Texans and is on IR right now.
I heard a rumor that Leinart's Cardinal teammates thought he was a joke for a starting QB and were very happy to see him go. I'm just saying ...
I think Kubiak agrees with your opinion. FWIW Myers also gets rode hard by the not-so-casual fans as well. I think the consensus is that Myers is average to good in pass protection and average to bad in run blocking, especially in the red zone. As a casual fan, I have seen Myers having trouble holding the line near the goal line. I have seen a DT push Myers back two yards, which is some seriously weak sauce.
I hope for Racker's sake that the Texans reach a settlement with Brown before the season starts. Having Brown hanging out on IR, Rackers might think he is one missed field goal from getting the boot himself.
