Covington Color Rush Jersey ,028 yard season, arguably operating as the
only real weapon in the Longhorns offense in 2016. When he was still on the
board for the Houston Texans to pick in the third round of the 2017 NFL Draft,
it seemed almost too good to be true. For Foreman and many others, the Houston
native was living the dream, playing for his hometown team and presented with
the opportunity to be a key component in an offense run by one of the most
electric quarterbacks in H-Town history, Deshaun Watson. While Foreman got off
to a slow start, his size and shiftiness served him well, as he gobbled up 4.2
yards per play in his rookie season. He really seemed to be the perfect
compliment to the Lamar Miller / Alfred Blue running back room - a big back who
didn¡¯t shy away from contact yet had the uncanny ability to make tacklers miss.
While 4.1 yards per carry isn¡¯t Hall of Fame quality, doing so behind the worst
offensive line in the NFL as a rookie was pretty impressive.
Unfortunately
Lamar
Miller Color Rush Jersey , D¡¯Onta Foreman tore his Achilles last November.
Anyone who has ever paid attention to the Houston Texans¡¯ running game is all
too familiar with this injury after what happened to Arian Foster. A few weeks
ago, the Texans brought Foreman back to practice and have until December 6th to
activate him to the 53-man roster.Foreman says he¡¯s ready to play again.But head
coach Bill O¡¯Brien disagrees, most likely due to input from the team¡¯s medical
staff.With Lamar Miler lighting the world on fire, Deshaun Watson more than
eager to take all the yards the defense will let him and Alfred Blue still
happily pounding the A-Gap for 3.4 yards a carry (just enough to be considered a
positive run), the Texans do have the luxury of being patient with Foreman.
Still, the clock is ticking.December 6th is just a week away. If Houston does
activate Foreman, someone will have to exit the 53-man roster to make room. With
the injury bug ready to bite at any moment, it¡¯s easy to understand the
hesitancy of Texans¡¯ leadership in this situation. An Achilles tear is a huge
deal.Bringing Foreman back too soon could jeopardize or end his career, and
removing a contributing player from the current roster to roll those dice could
be a fool¡¯s errand. Yet if Foreman really is good to

Jersey , having his fresh legs for December and January might help make
the difference between a deep playoff run and an early exit. What do you think?
Should Houston put Foreman back on the shelf until 2019 or should they throw him
at the A-Gap on December 9th when Andrew Luck and the Indianapolis Colts come to
town to challenge Houston for the AFC South crown? The Houston Texans (7-3) will
put their seven-game winning streak on the line Monday night as the Tennessee
Titans (5-5) try to stay within striking distance in the AFC South.The AFC South
is all over the place this season.The Texans started 0-3 and are now leading the
division at 7-3.The heavily favored Jaguars have been a disaster.The Titans
destroyed the Patriots, but have suffered ugly losses to the Bills, Colts, and a
shutout loss to the Ravens.The Colts, once summarily dismissed, are suddenly
rising as Andrew Luck appears to be his old self (along with an offensive line
that looks to be gelling nicely).NRG Stadium should be rocking tonight, and of
course it will be impossible not to think of the loss of Bob McNair.It will be
an emotional evening, and we¡¯ll see which way that swings the events on the
field, if at all.Here¡¯s how the BRB staff sees this one playing
out...Chris:Texans
