Arian Foster Expected To Start On Sunday Versus Steelers

PrintGary Kubiak (courtesy of John McClain):
"He's fine," coach Gary Kubiak said. "He should be OK heading into the rest of the season now, hopefully. We'll keep our fingers crossed. He's chomping at the bit and ready to go, took his full load and we're okay."
"He's a hell of a player," Kubiak said about Foster. "We've been missing him, Ben has done a hell of a job, too. He's (Foster) a key player on this team that we've almost played a month without. I know it's still a long road back. Like I said, it doesn't just go from nothing to everything. I think Arian's played 30, 33 snaps, and our other starters have played over 300 this year, so we got to bring him along the right way, too."
Getting Arian Foster back is monstrous any way you slice it, but it could be an even bigger deal against the Steelers. Not only will Foster add an element to the running game that Ben Tate (and really, nearly every other RB on the planet) cannot bring, but Foster's pass-catching ability could be a sizable part of any consistent solution to the Pittsburgh pressure that's sure to be directed at Matt Schaub all afternoon.

This sounds familiar.

Red Zone Issues?
What Red Zone issues?
Should be a good test against the Steelers’ D this weekend. I don’t think their offense can even come close to putting up enough points to win.
Texans in a route.
which Route are the texans taking to Reliant?
And which route is Ben Rapelsberger taking? Anybody have some pretty drunk girls they can throw his way in a club bathroom? He wouldn’t last one night in a Houston Jail.

Schaub does this a lot more than people give him credit for.
You might want to educate yourself on these things.
Never use a metaphor, simile, or other figure of speech which you are used to seeing in print.
Never use a long word where a short one will do.
If it is possible to cut a word out, always cut it out.
Never use the passive where you can use the active.
Never use a foreign phrase, a scientific word, or a jargon word if you can think of an everyday English equivalent.
Break any of these rules sooner than say anything outright barbarous.

He really does
It’s just that our defense can never hold on to the lead afterwards
Rec'd for beating me to it.

yes
Not many realize he plays QB…. What is it he’s supposed to do again?

by Rip Jersey on Sep 29, 2011 12:01 PM CDT via mobile up reply actions
Since 2007
(i.e. since Schaub became a starter), he has 9 game-winning drives. Over that same period, Ben Roethlisberger has 11.
OH MY GOD, YOU ARE SO RIGHT ABOUT THE FAILURES OF SCHAUB!!

Typo
That should say 14 GWD for Ben.
The Two-Day Hangover @ Battle Red Blog (2011) & SBN Houston (2010) | Twitter
Counting only regular season games over that span:
Ben: 12
Schaub: 9
Clearly, Ben is the greatest comeback QB ever in the history of the known universe, and Schaub is a worthless turd who could not lead a team to a comeback if his life depended on it.

[Insert obligatory fantasy football reference]
Gee, should I start Arian Foster on my fantasy football team this weekend, then?
[End obligatory fantasy football reference]
Sorry, but it hadda be done!!
I think we win but not cause Foster is back
But because the Steelers O-line sucks nuts. Of course having Foster won’t hurt

Not looking too hot the first three games either… as long as they aren’t looking ahead to Oak I think we take this game.

How certain is this though?
Isn’t there another 2 days of practice? How certain are we that what happened in Miami won’t happen again?
You can't predict such things.
But the point is, he’ll be cleared to play.
Also, I’d think the air-conditioned atmosphere inside of Reliant should be more condusive to his health, than the weather conditions he dealt with the last two games he played (@SF, @ Mia).

get it while the gettins good!!!
red zone issues solved!
can’t wait till 23 gets on the field I think he’s gonna kill it the rest of the year, He just seems like that kinda player to play with a chip on his shoulder, to silence all the doubters.
get it while the gettins good!!!
If he pulls himself out
after the first half I’m going to pour gasoline on my face and light it on fire. Rub it on your face for Arian!

1st time commenting
just joined, wanted to post this quote by Foster
when asked if he’d be found in Sunday’s starting lineup against the Pittsburgh Steelers at Reliant Stadium.
He said that is the plan, but he can’t be certain. After all, he reasoned, what if the unexpected should occur?
“If I get kidnapped or something – you never know,” Foster said.<<< PURE AWSOMENESS

Thanks guys, been reading for a while
lol reporters panic when someone doesnt answer questions like a robot but ya cant wait for foster to be back in the backfield & hopefully we can turn those damn field goals into TD’s also here’s hoping JJ or Mario get to hamburgerler & rearranges his nose like Ngata did last season
Oakland did the same thing to Sanchez's nose this past weekend
He’s never looked better
