6.2 yds/carry. Reggie Bush can’t even touch that. Slaton obviously isn’t the return man that Bush is, nor does he have the receiving yards (though that’s at least partially thanks to the fact that the Texans’ receivers are much, much better than the Saints’), but Slaton is clearly the better runner. I’ve been impressed with him since that first pre-season game: he was absolutely fearless running between the tackles, and right then I knew that he could be awesome. Now all the Texans need (on offense, and besides fewer interceptions) is a true power back for the short yardage.

Who knew coming into this season that the phrase “Texans running game” wasn’t going to elicit massive pukage from fans?

on my site… I haven’t done the Reggie/Stevie comparison because Bush has been hurt.

You better believe it’s coming back this week.

camera view of Steve spinning and making tacklers miss was pretty impressive. Man I love that dude!
