Reggie Who? Texans trade for Samkon

Samkon Gado, welcome to Houston. The Texans acquired the running back in a straight-up deal for RB Vernand Morency. Gado, the Liberty University product and feel-good story from last year, will now be competing with Wali Lundy and (maybe?) Ron Dayne for touches behind the porous Texan O-line. Morency will spell Ahman Green on occassion.

I would say Vernand benefits the most from this if Ahman goes down again? I just don't know...

I don't get the point of the Reggie reference. The Houston drafted Bush their O-Line would be even more porous. If Bush would want to go any yards he'd have to run all over the field Bo Jackson/Tecmo Bowl Style

and in other news, greenbay answers the question: is it possible for this team to get any worse? if you ask me, the texans are headed in a great direction.

To me, this trade means they aren't satisfied with Ron Dayne. He may be getting cut.

What a shocker! Two B-list RBs traded for each other...the Pack & Texans will surely compete for Super Bowl rings in 10-20 years now. Good luck Gary Kubiak, you'll need it with that dog meat O-line.

i still dont understand why they didnt take da brick? if you have it set that you arent taking reggie bush, at least do the right thing and protect the qb who has stuck with you through thick and thin.
