PrintFrom John McClain (with a tip o' the cap to texanphil):
"I had an assumption that I would start, but nothing was concrete until now," Slaton said after being told by coach Gary Kubiak that he would be starting. "I'm happy about it. It's an opportunity I have to take full advantage of."
It probably goes without saying, but I like this move a whole lot. Ryan Moats got the start in Indianapolis because of Slaton's fumbling; Slaton responded by holding onto the ball when he saw the field, and Moats helped Slaton's cause by fumbling himself. While it's hard to imagine that Kubes will stick with Slaton should the fumbling problem return, this is the right move. Here's to Steve Slaton turning back the clock to 2008 on Monday night.

Dear Andre,
Your uncle, Andre Melton, is not treating you like a man of your abilities and talents deserves to be treated. I will gladly serve as your agent at 2% less than whatever he is currently getting. If this interests you, please contact me.
Sincerely,
Matt
Yay, sports.

“"That didn’t come from me," Johnson said after practice Saturday. "I wish he hadn’t said what he said, but that’s his opinion. I make my own decisions, and I plan on being here until I retire.”

as bad as the statement by his uncle was
its great to hear Dre say those last eight sweet, wonderful words.
Smushiak will take us to the playoffs in 2009.
props to Slaton
its on him, lets see how he handles it.
He’s our playmaker, and I feel great about Moats in RB2, since I kinda like his style on 1st and 2nd downs better anyway.
Smushiak will take us to the playoffs in 2009.
While I prefer Slaton over Moats,
as long as Brown stays on the bench I don’t care who starts, even though I do have Slaton on my FF teams.
Miss-placed Houstonian living and going to school in the wilderness of Wyoming.
Me too
And I am going to bench him so that there is no pressure, because clearly his problems have been a product of my fantasy league trying to keep me down.
The question is then
how many Arian Foster sightings do you think we’ll see
I would challenge you to a battle of wits, but you appear to be unarmed.

9
because hes a bigger back and we will need to convert some 3rd and shorts on the ground and 9 is a nice big number but not too big
if its close
no way Foster touches the ball.
If we’re up or down a few, I can see this scenario (short yardage Foster) playing out.
Smushiak will take us to the playoffs in 2009.
