Arian Foster Wins AFC Offensive Player Of The Month For October

This makes all kinds of sense, considering Arian won AFC Offensive Player of the Week twice last month for his performances against Pittsburgh and Bud Adams' Army of Darkness. Hit the jump to see exactly how Arian Foster hunted (and KILLED) the month of red October.
-For the month, Foster totaled an NFL-best 809 scrimmage yards (499 rush, 310 receiving) with five touchdowns as he helped the Texans to a 3-2 record in October.
-Foster’s 499 rushing yards led the AFC and ranked fourth in the NFL in October.
-His 310 receiving yards ranked first among NFL running backs for the month.
-Foster’s five touchdowns (four rushing, one receiving) in October led the AFC and tied for second in the NFL (Adrian Peterson had seven).
-In Week 4, Foster rushed for 155 yards on 30 carries (5.2 average) with one touchdown in a 17-10 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. He became the first player in the NFL this season to average at least five yards on 30 or more carries in a game.
-In Week 7, Foster rushed for 115 yards on 25 carries (4.6 average) with two rushing touchdowns and a career-high 119 receiving yards with one touchdown reception in a 41-7 win over the Tennessee Titans. He became the first player to have 100 yards rushing and receiving and at least one touchdown run and one touchdown catch in a game since running back Brian Wesbrook did it on September 23, 2007.
-In his third season from Tennessee, this is Foster’s second career Player of the Month Award. He previously won the award in September of 2010.
I have to think that every team in the NFL that didn't see fit to burn a draft pick on Arian Foster (including the Texans, though probably not nearly as much) has to kick itself every time they see stuff like this. Namaste!

i hate foster...
because he is durn good…
I still have nightmares of week 1 2010… ugh…
he definitely deserves it though… he keeps this up and you have to think he’s in the conversation for offensive player of the year (unless they pull crap and give that and the MVP to the same person like last year).

Peyton deserves a few votes for that as well, the Offensive Player of the Year.
That week 1 2010 was so awesome, made even better cuz I had drafted Foster on my FF team in the 2nd round. Really wished he had as many carries in the MNF game in Indy but for some reason Kubes didn’t give him the ball in the 2nd half.
Week 1 2010!!!
Why are we talking about this?
I didn't do anything wrong!.... and, I won't do it again.
because...
I am reliving the “good old days” with PM… even if Mario Williams probably caused the neck injury ailing him now in that game… and Arian Foster made swiss cheese out of our stout (ahahaha) run line…

Si is giving out midseason awards
The biggest disgrace of that list is that Wade Phillips is runner up for coordinator of the year, behind MIke Zimmer in Cincinnati. I’m no homer, but how can someone who has transformed the 30th ranked defense to 3rd be a runner up.
That's more an indictment...
… on how terrible Frank Bush was, in my opinion.
by Andres_Johnson on Nov 3, 2011 3:02 PM CDT up reply actions
To clarify
There was talent on this defense. Obviously, the signing of JJo has been crucial, but there was talent on this defense and Frank Bush misused it to an extreme level.
Not to say that Wade isn’t doing a fantastic job. This team is playing great TEAM defense. I’d vote for Wade personally, but the Bengals lost JJo and were supposed to get lit up all year. They’ve been pretty good.
by Andres_Johnson on Nov 3, 2011 3:04 PM CDT up reply actions
so he's doing it
with Frank Bush’s players?
Kinda like Gruden won the SB with Dungy’s players?
I think the consistency of the defense with the injuries shows what a good coordinator he is. I think Wade deserves it. Period. But he’s only half done. I want him to win it at the end of the year.
my Z key can't take another free agent flurry
No joke.
I can’t fathom how anybody would fail to acknowledge Wade Phillips’s effect on our defense this season. He literally turned shit into gold. The man is an alchemist.

Maybe he can turn Chris Johnson's grill into adamantium.
So our players can stop getting hurt…

In his first season with the team to boot
And Zimmer has been in Cincy how long now? Yeah, more than a year.
I'm a man!! I'm forty!!
Damn straight!
Best running back in the league today, despite what they say in Minnesota.

You can't go wrong with either guy.
Given the struggles of a certain Mr. Johnson, I feel it’s appropriate to note that Peterson, if it’s even possible, has played like more of a stud since getting his big pay day. I can only hope (but feel it’s a pretty safe bet) that Foster follows suit.
"Lord, beer me strength."
Peterson has been great this season, as usual. My Texans homerism drives me to declare that Foster is the better of the two, but they’re neck and neck in terms of talent and production. I’m just glad that the sports pundits are finally starting to acknowledge that fact.

I think what edges Foster ahead of Peterson is,
the passing game. Last I heard Peterson is a very shitty blocker on passing downs and I still have not seen him get many receiving yards.

Dan and his father are commenters on ESPN2? And, they were mocking the Texans?

If he hadn’t missed games early on, he would be in the top 3 so far. What did LeBaStard say?
by HTown80 on Nov 3, 2011 3:54 PM CDT via mobile reply actions
Of course just our luck
Peyton Hillis is playing. I know he’s overrated but still, I much rather us try to bring down Chris Ogbanaya rather than HIllis
It don't matter, Cushing will be spying either one. Bring them on!
I didn't do anything wrong!.... and, I won't do it again.
And the scary part is
He’s just starting to hit his stride now, imagine how good he would’ve been without the hammy issue, I say he cracks 1300 yds rushing & more than 600 yds recieving.
sup sup!
I know Arian Fosters a beast but i never seem to find out when he’s got stuff coming out :l
All I want to do is FAAAARRRRRRRRRMMMMMMMMM!!!....and COok.
Thing that sticks out to me!
He came from tennessee as an undrafted rookie, and after all his award and games he has taken over, at his rookie contract(volunteer). Please pay this man! I’m sure one of out brb writers can use this angle and make a good story.
by Hstntxns on Nov 3, 2011 5:29 PM CDT via mobile reply actions
I believe he has to be payed this odfseason
The new cba allowed us to pay him the minimum this year and he basically had to accept or never play again..

he said this offseason he had no problem with his contract
and that he was just happy he had an opportunity to play the game he loves. all this in lieu of chris johnson’s holdout and mega contract.

I love this team

First time caller! Long time listener! Love the show!
…er, newbie on the BRB posting, though I have stood in the closet to watch the goings-on for a bit. Y’all absolutely keep me and “wifey” (heh) in stitches. Seriously. She got up and broke a toe on the foot board a bit ago just to make a point.
I probably caught the thread today after it died, but I wanted to at least get the digits on my lower extremities wet and throw in a post.
Y’all keep up the great work! Love the blogs and the witty and insightful replies. How else would I know what a BESF is???
Anywho, I understand the Pterodactyl is still making League minimum. When is his contract up with the Texans? Please tell me he is not FA after this season!!!
Thanks for having me!

Welcome Gerbillogic
I believe, IIRC, Foster’s on a one year tender. He could still be tendered next season as a RFA (or barring that, franchised)….so there’s no way he’s not a Texan in 2012, but I think he’ll be rewarded with a new deal.
"Lord, beer me strength."
Whew.
I figured as much, but needed some more insight to keep the pucker away.
Thanks, TDC. And thanks for having me!

gerbils, wet digits on the lower extremities, puckering,.... not too sure about this

Lol, yeah Rip and chuckie, I catch a lot of flack about my moniker. I had picked gerbil logic a few years ago when someone asked me about being a Houston sports fan.

Its probably an exercise in futility, but you do it anyway

Baby eating sister fuc#%rs or Titans also let me point you over to the glossary where you can be enlightened and enriched with the knowledge to further enhance your reading of the blog
Thanks jags
I did manage to find the glossary a while back. It is very enlightening (heh).
While I am thinking about it, does anyone have a link to Foster on camera (or mic) VREEEEKing?
I always find a dead link, or one that only tells about the interview when he was in college.
My wife would absolutely have a mini if she could see a vid of that. Yes. Seriously.

Absolutely
The best blog anywhere. Well, besides the one involving bacon and racks. Otherwise, best blog in the Underverse!
Nice to meet all you guys. Finally. In person. Sorta.
You know what I mean…thanks BRF!
