He is a great running back for Houston. Then one player who is his back up does great. So your future in Slaton his terrible over a fumble. Whose with me. I mean com on he had 1,200 yds. last year with them alone.

He has 7 fumbles in 8 games....Moats has half the yds Slaton does and more tds in only 2 games worth of touches, compared to Slatons 8 games of touches. Who wold you be giving the ball to? Especially with Indy coming up, who boasts a middle of the pack run defense.

C'mon, nobody thinks Slaton is on the bench forever. The Texans have been working with him on holding onto the football before the benching. Coach finally decided to send a message. If you saw him moping around the sideline last week, message received. But, will he remember, coach is covering all bases. All of Slatons stats won't help if he fumbles the ball away a couple times a game. Time to learn how to carry the ball is now and that's what the Texans staff is focused on. If he gets it, he'll be back.

They will break back in as the 3rd down back , but he's good not to be on the field , he'll get back in , don't worry. This is a reality check for Slaton, and the reality is , guys who fumble split carries ...
