Adam Schefter of ESPN via Twitter reports Texans coach Gary Kubiak told ESPN's Bob Hotzman today that Texans running back Ryan Moats will start and Steve Slaton will share carries. Slaton's tied for the NFL lead in lost fumbles with five and his job as a starter was in jeopardy after Ryan Moats had a huge day filling in for him last week. Source: Adam Schefter, Twitter.com
Moats looked good last week ...... but you played the Bills. We could make a high school RB look like a probowler. Slaton showed signs of good ball handling in the Bills game by switching hands to the non-contact side.He's too good of a rb to be the back up
Screw you Slaton, you just hecked my fantasy team up because you're a freaking running back who can't hold a football. Seriously, there has been many RBs in the history of the NFL who have had "fumblitis" - it took most of them about ONE OR TWO weeks to STOP DOING IT!!!!!!!!!!!! :2up:
With all of the fumbles he has had this season, his demotion is justified. I want to see him be the starter too, but right now he has become a liability.
