Is Steve Slaton Still The Man In Houston?
Wow, what is the lessor of two evils here? Here’s what I can say. Gary Kubiak comes from the Mike Shanahan school of coaching running backs. In Denver, if you fumbled the football, you sat. Plain and simple. There are plenty of examples – Mike Bell in New Orleans – of former Broncos that were sent to the dog house over their inability to hold on to the football.
That said, Slaton is a special talent and the Texans’ offensive is much more potent than Kansas City’s, even playing the undefeated Colts. If Houston is going to have a shot to win I think they’ll need Slaton. He’s the better play in my opinion.

I promise you.
