Could another oft injured RB find a home here in Houston? [Idle Rudi Speculation]

[Keith]

The Broncos IR'ing Alridge is joke. This practice of teams stashing young players to the IR is something the league should review.

I'm not sure the Texans would prefer Alridge over Darius Walker, but he would have to be someone worthy of consideration.

I'd been looking at teams with RB depth, and the Colts (Kenton Keith) and Eagles (Ryan Moats) have made their moves. I think both of them might be worth a look-see. Cliff Washburn's roster spot seems tenuous at best right now.

I am still trying to figure out how the chiefs can keep 5 RBs and we have have a hard time finding 3?

And I agree Aldridge being IRed is a joke and he was a guy I was looking at.

Oklahoma rookie RB Patrick Allen is on the waiver wire I see. He is kinda small at only 195, but he might be a cheap solution, even if temporary.

As far as stashing RB's on IR, aren't we doing that ourselves with Chris Brown? Or is that not a valid comparison?

You guys do know that Rudi Johnson was cut by the Bengals right?

Brown was "hurt" in camp and could not be cut unless he agreed to a settlement. Well if he had agreed then he would be gone. He wants a paycheck for doing nothing, just as was predicted by most on this board.


Aldridge is shown practicing hard in his last practice. He does not look hurt to me. Look for yourself

Brown kinda tarnishes Rick Smith's reputation, doesn't it? And yeah, I agree that he just wants a paycheck for doing nothing.
