Maybe I was high, but I could’ve sworn I saw the X-man making plays left and right, once he got on the field. Or maybe I was high.

And, like we needed another reason to hate Chris Johnson. I really feel for Fisher, having to put up with the pompous shitbags they draft for him.

There’s not much for Diles to recover from other than mending the broken bone.., it’s not like there was muscle or ligament damage or anything. Most of the time once breaks like the one Diles had heals, that area of the bone is even stronger than it was before. He’ll need to regain strength in his legs a bit, but other than that I doubt it has any affect on his play at all.

I’m probably pulling for Adibi though because his speed and agility for the position is off the charts, he’s literally all over the field when he’s healthy. He made some rookie mistakes last year when he was in, but he had the speed to recover from those mistakes and get back to the ball in those same plays. I think Adibi has alot more potential than Diles and it’s only a matter of time before he’s our full time starting weakside LB. Whether it’s this season or not remains to be seen, if Diles is still the better option at this point i’m all for it as he’s a good player too.

As for Demeco Ryans, his rookie season was indeed amazing despite his terrible o-line.

Did you just blame the offensive line for hampering DeJesus? That’s very ESPN of you to blame the Texans’ O-line for defensive failures.

Note: I know it was a typo, and I also know that only about 7 people around here would know that my comment is wiping sarcasm from its brow….thus the need for this note.

Johnson is not a good RB, he’s a good gimick player in the mold of the oldschool scatbacks. He can’t pick up rushers to save his life in pass protection and i’m not sure he even tries, he can’t run inbetween tackles unless the hole is large enough for him to get through without contact. He’s pretty much a 1 trick pony, get him out in space and he can use his speed to make plays. The problem with 1 trick ponies, they usually only get one or two good seasons before the league wises up to them then they either become more balanced or they stall out (see Reggie Bush), I expect Chris Johnson to be no different.

Slaton had his trouble picking up blitzes and running between the tackles last year as well (though he clearly had better patience and vision in running inside than Johnson), the difference is he’s put on weight to try to beef up and has focused on pass protection while Johnson is proclaiming himself to be every coach’s dream already. I see Slaton making genuine efforts to improve overall as a RB while at the same time Johnson is still reveling in his success last season.
