Kubiak said on his weekly radio show that Green will start and that Taylor and Slaton (if he can go) will see significant playing time as well. I think it will be RBBC all year long. Unless there are injuries (always seem to plague the Texans) you will not see a feature back for this team. Kubiak said they want to run the ball much more this year, if they can. Probably gonna be hit or miss all year long if you want to start a Texan RB.

A few years ago I made it through the entire season without losing in 25k contest. So did one other guy. We had to pick the total in the Superbowl to decide the winner. It was the Eagles vs Patriots. I picked 41 and he picked 46. Last Philly TD in garbage time with under 2 minuntes cost me 25k, ouch!!!! Anyway, the one thing I learned from that year is that you cannot think like everybody else and win. Most of the fish will be eliminated on 2-3 games each year. Try to find sleepers in the early weeks and save your big dogs for later. I'm gonna roll the dice this week with Buffalo.... Good luck.

I disagree that this will be a non issue. I also have a torn labrum which will require surgery (by the Texans Dr. Walter Lowe). I have a torn posterior labrum and it has gotten progressively worse. I struggle to lift with it anymore and cannot reach across my body without severe pain. I cannot sleep on my right side. I cannot imagine getting drilled into the turf for 16 weeks. I guess it depends on how bad the tear is and where it is located. If the labrum is severely torn it will cause should instability. Even if it is a minor tear, I would think it would worsen throughout the year from the constant trauma. I will be suprised if he makes it through the first game, much less the whole season. I will stay away.

Kubiak said he thought Green would see some playing time this week, if he continues to progress. Taylor will see some reps and Slation will be limited because of turf toe. He did say Walker would see alot of time. Doubtful Brown can go, said he is not responding to treatment.

I live in Houston and listened to the Kubiak show on radio on the way home last night. Here is a summary.... Brown- Big time in doghouse. Back problems most likely chronic for year. Kubiak sounded real down on him. I think he is out of the picture. Taylor- Coach is very high on him. Will see reps. Slaton- Coach is very high on him. Will see reps. Mentioned that he has the home run threat they lacked last year. Green- Practiced yesterday. Hoping he can stay healthy, sound like Kubiak would still limit time even when healthy. Walker- Most likey a no factor for this year. Summary... Kubiak basically came out and said they would rotate alot this year. Look for a split between Green, Taylor, Slaton. He said the Fantasy Football "F" Word, that he wants to keep all RBs "Fresh" this year. Stay away from Brown. Hope that helps!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
