I just know that if it were Brees, Manning, Brady, or McNabb they would have been throwing the ball. Overall I am excited about the win and have no problem with the team riding the success of Arian.

I continue to be impressed if not amazed by Arian Foster. This guy is a truly multi-talented running back who can catch the ball as well as being a very gifted back who runs with unusual elusiveness for a tall-rangy guy while having excellent power to break tackles and run inside the tackles.
I think I like the Eric Dickerson best but I'm still searching for a better one for our new star back ?

It's interesting how last year our OL could pass block really well, but not run block, seems just reversed with good run blocking, but allowing lots of pressure on pass plays this year.
Defense, DL looked a little better today. Antione Smith showed real good. Nolan maybe will be getting some more time playing time at safety as his turnovers as much as Foster's running, won the game. Anyways, we are 3-1, best start ever, atop the AFC South.

But claiming Foster's success somehow proves a negative team feeling about Schaub is silly. Foster fueling the offense says everything about Foster and nothing about Schaub. Schaub has full confidence in every possible way from Kubiak and everyone in the organization. They put the game on his shoulders when necessary, and they play smart football and work the running game when possible. The offense looked great today going for 441 yards and 31 points despite it's best player standing on the sidelines, the starting LT suspended, and the RB benched for a quarter.

If you ask me Gradowski was downing the ball all game long to keep from getting the sack and the refs chose not to call it. Jeez.

Coach Gary Kubiak benched Foster for the first half because he missed a team meeting and was late for another one.
http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/...t/7230133.html && Some of the immaturty problems cropping up again that Kubiak mentioned as reasons for Fosters opportunity coming later rather than earlier in his rookie season last year ?

In the post game interview it sounded like Foster understood the lesson and promised his teammates he would never do this again. He also gave Derek Ward credit as being the first mentor he had ever played with.

So distracted by the Braves game today, I only posted a few comments on TexansTalk.
Wish Game 162 wasn't always on football Sundays. We're going to have a playoff game on Sunday next week. Damn.

Schaub's 7 passing td's is tied for 6th in the leagu (with breese), 7th in the league in passing yards per game, 9th is completion percentage.

However, I am suggesting that it speaks volumes that the team was willing to put a potentially critical play in the hands of Arian Foster over Shaub. My post was aimed at Kubiak rather than Shaub. I was only suggesting that in key situations such as that you expect your playmakers to make a play. In that situation they chose to go with Arian Foster. There were so many other negative things to talk about from this game besides Shaub. That was not my point with the post. We all know that Shaub's job is to go out there and do what Kubiak tells him to do. He is doing an excellent job at it. The difference is that, if need be Brees, Manning, and Brady are givin the reigns to make adjustments. Unlike our three goalline running plays against a stacked front in the Cowboy game. I am just saying Kubiaks shackles are a little too tight for someone who has so much faith in his QB. Other than that. I love the team and support them 100%. As a matter of fact. We can easily be 6-1 if we play to our potential and not the competition.

I think Schaub's numbers being down come from two things - some of his playmakers are hurt even when they are playing and the Texans now have a running game that can darn well dominate at times.
Plus, our secondary is still very shaky and the best way to keep them from giving up big plays is to keep your offense on the field. That means running the ball to eat up the clock, which we're doing quite well. I don't want to be last year's Texans where Schaub and AJ put up great numbers and we can't convert in the red zone. I'd rather see a more balanced attack that mixes the run with short passes and deep passes so the opponents don't know where the next big play will come from. Once AJ is healthy, that's where I hope we'll be.
