Him and Henry would make one hefty one-two punch. 

That's who, I compared him to pre-draft. Derrick Henry light. Not as big, not as fast, and not as strong as Henry, but a damn good combination of the three. I really loved the idea of him and Watson for a long-time duo.

Like many have said I was surprised he did not turn out yet in the NFL.  On Texas that last year he was a monster and ran for well over 2000 yards on a team not all that talented.  Did he just not get the playbook or was he hurt or what?  Why did he do little to nothing?

 

Looking it up came across this quote, guess that answers it, and does not hurt that he did get injured but odd it might end his career just one injury.

"Texans, who cited poor work habits and being late to team meetings"

 

Obviously is a lot harder coming back off an injury than most think.  And if you are already a suspect worker then coming back is going to be even that much more difficult  Do not put in the work I imagine things do not go well at all.

According to Adam Schefter, Foreman needs to "grow up". Seems like his head just isn't in it

You guys should just give the bills a call and grab someone like Yeldon to pair with Miller. Give them like a 7th and call it a day

I'm on board with any and all suggestions at this point. People in the Houston area are quick to point out that the best RB in franchise history was a UDFA and how one of our two UDFAs could very well be cut in the same mold...

... all while forgetting Arian Foster sat on the PS for a year, and was in a Gary Kubiak ZBS style offense (which is known for turning lesser RBs into stars) with three very good OL in Duane Brown, Chris Myers and Eric Winston, all being coached by one of the best OL coaches in Alex Gibbs. 

 

 

Outside of that, totes the same.

I'm tired of this mantra of "guys who fit the culture". Sooner or later you have to just get guys who know how to play even if they don't fit that image you're trying to portray. It makes no sense and brings no value to the organization waiving Foreman this early in camp. You already have no legitimate starting left tackle and prepared to start the season with friggin Matt Khalil and now no contingency plan at RB2, hell RB1 is not even that impressive. This has to be the worst off season to date and I'm secretly wishing this season is a complete failure so they can finally get rid of BoB. 

I'm done 

but when i say this i get attacked on the Texans board...
