Oh, You Think So, Doctor?
News flash...Ahman Green's season may be over:
Green, who has a knee injury and was inactive for the sixth time Sunday, will practice this week. Coach Gary Kubiak said a decision will then be made regarding Green's status for the rest of the season.
At this point, I'd be totally SHOCKED if Ahman Green EVER played another snap for the Texans, much less took another snap this season. I guess $6,500,000.00 just doesn't go as far it used to. I feel bad for Ahman, as you know this wasn't what he pictured when he signed with the Texans. But I feel worse for the fans, because we aren't making money for watching the games each week, unlike a certain RB. And I feel worst for the fans who purchased a No. 30 jersey; it's looking like that investment will only be fruitful if you can find someone on eBay who likes buying hilarious or quirky football artifacts.
Fun With Numbers: As of today, Ahman Green has earned $1,083,333.33 each time he's dressed for a regular season game as a Texan. Now THAT'S an incentive laden contract, folks.
Update [2007-12-6 8:40:58 by Tim]:: MDC runs some more numbers here. Read 'em and weep.

Where do we go from here?
- Draft a RB with our 1st or 3rd round draft pick - someone who can start immediately, like Adrian Peterson. (Steve Slaton, anyone?)
- Acquire an RB through free agency - because that's worked so well in the past (/sarcasm)
- Stay on the Dayne train.

FS/RB
I'm still not completely sold on the idea of a first round RB, especially in a draft this loaded with RBs. At the same time, without a second round pick, we have to get an impact player with that first choice. I sure don't want to reach for a defensive back in the first if there is no one worth taking (especially with some of the free agents that will be floating around.)

And I feel worst for the fans who purchased
Item 298746 - opening bid $0.30
Now you can own a piece of Texan history and re-live all the hopes and aspirations Texan fans had for their team at the beginning of the 2007-2008 season. Hardly ever used, this size 52 Battle Red jersey is a must for any true Texan fan.
Shipping @ $4.99. To illustrate seller's frustration, I will wrap it in brick and throw it through your window if you live in northern New Jersey, free of charge.

re: Mike Hart
But Hart is definitely one of the top prospects after McFadden.

Re: Hart
- He NEVER fumbles. Seriously, I think he's fumbled once his entire career. Or some crazy number like that.
- He's extremely durable. Plays banged up. Basically the anti-DD
- He should be available around our picking spot. Projections don't seem to have him going before 15 or so (mind-boggling, but whatever).

Personally...
I mean, really, I'm still more concerned with talent collection than with filling specific needs.
Plus, at this point, we need more information on our plethora of injuries. Damnz, it's been a harsh year.

Re: Needs
I'm still of the mind that RB help can be found late in the draft or via the undrafted free agent market. I'd only take a RB in the first two rounds if he was a once-in-a-lifetime prospect (first round) or a how-is-that-guy-still-available buy (second round).

My choices
On the other hand, if we shit the bed the rest of the way and have a high pick, Jake Long and Michael Oher and Sam Baker are extremely intriguing.

Re: shitting the bed
To quote Tim: "Looking forward to a day when being a Texans fan doesn't mean that April is the highlight of my season...",
and DisplacedTexan: "Tell me again why I follow sports?",
and since I've already been accused of sucking up to you, Matt: "cockrag".

Draft Talk
-O-line, O-line, O-line. We must not Carr-ify the Schaub.
-RB. Easy late round pick up this year
-FS. Fred Bennett is the future opposite Dunta, I'm convinced of that.
Lastly, I might get pelted with bricks for this, but what do you guys think of trading some of our depth at WR? I mean, we can only have so many on the field at one time, and I feel like there's some teams out there who we might be able to get some value out of for an A. Davis, or even..Jacoby? Love 'em both, but just a thought.

Sucks for us
a) Still have him around, or:
b) Get something in return for him. And most importantly:
c) Not let him end up on Tennessee.
