Green Restructures Contract [Chronicle]

[RunninRaven]

Unless Slaton's turf toe is serious, in a way I halfway secretly hope Ahman is either great when he gets in the game, or completely terrible, because if he is great then I have no problem, the offense will look good. If he is terrible, then he won't last long before Slaton will take most, if not all, of his reps. But if Green is just sort of mediocre, then Kubiak might keep trotting him out there most of every game because he is the veteran and has the track record when Slaton could potentially be giving us more. I suppose on things like this I should just hope that Kubiak knows best and will play those that deserve it and can best help the team.

I just have this feeling that Slaton could be something special. Of course, I had the feeling about Jacoby last season as well.

Your hatred is not alone. RJ is a sad excuse for a writer. He does have a great job, when things go well, he praises (see all the early articles about Ed Wade and Tejada), then when it goes bad, then write a piece that rips everyone. Do that repeatedly for the Astros, Texans and Rockets when he is not salivating over VY and Mack and namedropping Bud Selig.

Johnny Mc - this is a family board so we will leave out anything about him and Anna-Meghan. I actually feel bad for her. He needs to push back from the buffet and mix in a few veggies.

to the matter at hand, good move for the Texans. Let's hope we can get through the season with Ahman playing 12 full games healthy. I would take that in a New York second. Good move my management freeing up some room on the cap, maybe there is a player(s) about to hit the breadline that can help us, and this $ makes it less tight on the cap.

obviously he'll be active for the first game. they probably just gave it up in the base salary, said here is for the first game up front and anything beyond that is earned.

clearly ahman knows that he is pressing the texans with his injury situations, i just hope that when he does line up he shows that he can still run instead of showing that the injuries have gotten the better of him.

i know it's semantics but when you're talking RB's something "special" is adrian peterson. steve slaton could be a good NFL back on a good team.

i don't think kubiak would allow shenanigans to go on concerning who is playing what position. i mean if slaton is better than green, he'll play.

MIKE (or really anybody) have you ever actually met someone who thinks they're worthy sports writers? aside from the awkward, seeping-through-the-radio inuendo of mchut and how dickie hates the teams he covers and loves ESPN's 24 hour analysis...is there actually any merit to the positions they hold anymore?

we should have our own forum dedicated to making fun of these two

Well, it is semantics. Maybe to you Adrian Peterson is the level you have to be at to be something special, but I was thinking more in terms of Brian Westbrook type ceiling, which compared to what we have put up with at RB in the 7 years the Texans have been here, is something special.
