I think Leach will mainly be missed in those off-tackle plays - Example: Foster's long run against Oakland. When Leach blocked a guy, that guy was out of the play. Casey (or Vickers or whomever) will just have to get sufficiently in the way so Foster can use his skills, which are considerable. I think AF is going to be a marked man this year so the Texans will need to spread the runs around (Ward, Tate) and get creative....

I look at it like this, Vontae was an excellent lead blocker, a so-so receiver, and a non-existant run threat. Casey (hopefully) will do acceptably as a run blocker, will be an excellent receiver, and quite possibly a threat to run in certain sets. So we give up something in the run game, and get better in the pass game. An acceptable trade-off.

Fullback
Other than Casey, we have R UDFA Justin Bartlett, 6-0, 237, Carrol-Montana, and R UDFA Zack Pauga, 6-1, 246, from the obligatory Colorado State. Maybe we will bring in another vet FB for competition.

those are some good quotes and pics
probably lots of pics around, here are 54 more http://houston.cbslocal.com/photo-ga...ns-camp-day-1/ and a day 1 practice wrapup http://www.houstontexans.com/news/ar...b-f8e1a328211f Atleast I got the part about Cushing a little bit, so he is recovering and likely back to contact practice in a few days, only walk through and running practice for now. And a good podcast with Pete Priscoe of CBS Sports making training camp rounds at Texans today. http://houston.cbslocal.com/2011/08/...er-on-defense/ some more photos http://www.nfl.com/photos/09000d5d82...000d5d82126b7c Last edited by Nconroe; 08-01-2011 at 11:02 PM.

Andre Johnson suffered a dislocated finger. Gary Kubiak said he hopes Johnson will be back on field this afternoon. Good news after being worried about him the last couple of hours this morning, not knowing how serious it was.

Saw this on a PFT post:
"Per a source with knowledge of the cap numbers, here are the seven teams that were in the red:**** Raiders ($17.3 million), Steelers ($11.5 million), Texans ($8.5 million), Vikings ($5.6 million), Lions ($5 million), Cowboys ($3.7 million), and Panthers ($939,000)." It will be interesting to see how they chop $8.5MM from the payroll.....by tomorrow...... Article states this is thru Tuesday, so Vickers' deal is probably not included in that figure.
