For example, if you saw last nights game on the NFL channel between the Redskins (love that name !) and the Vikings, you watched some back named Alfred Morris, a 6th round pick last year who I've never heard of, out perform the future HOFamer Adrian Peterson and become the new leading rusher in the NFL this week stat speaking. I'm telling you, these running backs are a dime a dozen, it's the last position I worry about the Texans finding a talented replacement for in the event that UNDRAFTED Arian Foster can't play for the team in the future.

Have you ever watched our team in the Redzone when Foster plays vs when he doesn't. It's like our tackling with Cushing vs without. You can get 80% of Foster from pretty much any guy off the street (heck you can get %80 of Foster from Foster this season), but Foster's short yardage ability changes out whole team when he plays or doesn't. We don't have another great redzone guy or short yardage guy on the whole roster (not sure we have a good one). Of course, if Case can go deep on every short yardage play like he did Sunday night, it might not matter.
