Foster was tremendous. I thought he was a little gassed in the 4th quarter, but nothing like 30 carries to get one back into "football shape" in a hurry. Sounds like the hammy held up so that is good news... I was a little surprised they didn't let Obie carry more towards the end but I think Kubes left him (Foster) in due to his "veteran" status and trust that he would be less likely to fumble the ball. Sounds like Tate is going to be on the shelf for at least a week or two or three....
AJ - No report, yet, but I'm guessing he will be out 3-4 weeks. That wouldn't be the end of the world. When he first went down, I thought his season was over.... I'm a little flummoxed that Schaub isn't targeting KW, JJ and even Casey more at this point in the season but that's probably going to change with AJ out. Bryant Johnson should see more action till AJ gets back....
Jason Allen's hit on Heinz Ward was awesome. Someone ask Heinz Ward if the Texans are "soft". Allen led the team in tackles with 7. Cush and DeMeco had 6 and 4, respectively. Mario had 5 tackles with 2 sacks which are good numbers for a "linebacker". Manning also had 5 tackles. Barwin had 4 tackles and a sack.
I thought is was kinda nice to see Bob McNair on the sideline near game's end with a smile on his face for a change....
Early line is Texans 7 pt favorites over Oakland.
