Arian Foster was hard on our defensive line

That guy is a monster! I've never seen someone as explosive and who can cut like he can. The guy is impressive and to outrun Cliff Avril was something. As soon as he sees a hole he cuts and flies through it getting yards before anyone can think to reach out and tackle him.

The cool thing is Turbin has a little bit of that explosiveness and cutting ability. He's no Foster but the guy has the tools to be an excellent backup running back.

I think Foster is going to be one of the biggest tests this team will see this year at running back. Kudos to the Texans offensive line too for creating holes and pass protection versus our defense.

The only RB better than Foster is ADP at the moment. Foster is a beast no doubt. He is so versatile, it's not only his running, but he is perhaps the best pass catching RB in the league, not counting Bush.

It is interesting to note that until yesterday he was only getting a couple carries more than Ben Tate each game this season. Yesterday, the Texans had a 350+yd passer, 100+ yard receiver and 100+ RB ...and still lost. Amazing win for us!

I think that was for 2 reasons, Foster was coming back from injury, and then Tate fumbled so Foster got all the carries.

Tate is better than Foster at this point, and I'm almost certain that most Houston fans will tell you that, but Foster was definitely more impressive yesterday.

This is why I love our defense they're so clutch. You'll see these teams just drive up on us and you're thinking..oh crap they're going to score 3 at the least. And then there's always some huge interception or forced fumble that negates that entire drive for them. The Patriots had like 400+ yards on us last year, and didn't have the points to show for it for this exact reason. Love this defense, even though they give me heart attacks...a lot.
