Well Duke Johnson wanted to be more involved...and now he seemingly will be their starter I highly doubt Johnson will be the FT starter, I totally see a committee here, dude is only 5'9" 210 lbs. and has only been a 3rd down back his entire career so far, I don't think he can take that kind of punishment, maybe they pick Foreman back up? Just my opinion though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to keep Yeldon on our team. He can catch better than some of our receivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just my opinion though. I don't know if he's a 3 down back or not (he thinks he is), but Emmitt Smith was 5'9" 215 lbs and seemed to hold up just fine at that size.

I mean if you want to compare Emmitt Smith to a guy who couldn't beat out Isiah Crowell just because I said he was 5'9" so be it. Smith was a workhorse at Florida, Johnson was a time share back at Miami the entire 3 years he was there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Over 29 years of fanhood Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 I bet they’d actually toss a late round pick for Yeldon, similar back to miller IMO. I’m not among those that want to peddle Shady. He’s still got it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALF Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 Yeldon is a fair RB and receiver , just what Houston is in need of. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just curious since I've seen nothing about what the compensation would be for him but can't imagine that after what they saw what Khalil Mack got as compensation that someone wouldn't offer Clowney something similar. I was joking if you read the comment I was replying to. My comment was to someone who posted a trade scenario for Clowny and stated likely would also involve including picks, didn't implicitly state it but meant from us to them. So I jokingly implied that Houston was going to send us picks and stated a 1st or 2nd 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John, take the homer glasses off for a minute. Shady is on the wrong side of 30 and coming off the worst season of his career. He has very low trade value. Zay is getting shipped because he’s a huge disappointment. He is an average possession receiver who struggles to catch the ball. i mean if the Texans were that stupid, I’d love it. But there are much better deals than that one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also: McCoy has just 1 year left on his contract as well, Jones has 2 but he sucks so who cares, and Clowney would come with a franchise tag option where we could conceivably snag a really good pick or picks in 2020 if we aren't able to reach a long-term deal.

rodneykm Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 Shady, Lawson for Clowney and a 5th seems pretty fair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo86 Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 Raiders released RB Doug Martin. He was competing for a backup role behind rookie Josh Jacobs but lost out to DeAndre Washington. Martin was reasonably productive last year, supplying 839 yards from scrimmage (723 rushing, 116 receiving) with four touchdowns while filling in for injured workhorse Marshawn Lynch. Perhaps the Texans will pursue him as an option to replace Lamar Miller, who tore his ACL in Saturday's preseason game.
