Back on August 30,
head coach Gary Kubiak pledged to lighten the workload of
Arian Foster
, coming off again and calf injuries this offseeason, and cut up carries with
Ben Tate
in Week 1.
“Clearly I don’t assume Arian goes to be a 30-carry guy opening night with out camp,” Kubiak stated.
Well, how about 24 touches, and a pair of drops? That apparently isn’t going to cut it for Foster going forward.
Foster ran the ball 18 instances for fifty seven yards (with a protracted of 9) and caught six passes for 33 yards. Ninety yards on 24 touches isn’t your typical Foster output, and maybe the accidents held him back a little. He was stopped on third-and-1 and 4th-and-1 runs within the first half, and he dropped a catchable 3rd-and-8 go within the fourth quarter that would have converted a primary down, along with another dumpoff later.
But Foster apparently believed that he and never Tate (who ran nine times for 55 yards, and had two catches for seven) ought to have been out there because the Texans were grinding down the clock in direction of a comeback 31-28 win in San Diego.
Still, Foster received centered and was on the market on the ultimate drive of the night, one which led to the sport-winning area objective from Randy Bullock. Will it’s a problem going forward? Uncertain, but it will likely be attention-grabbing to see how rapidly the Texans work Foster back into his customary workload. Thoughts you, he averaged 24.eight touches per sport the previous three seasons. Perhaps it’s the key touches Foster needs all to himself.
Arian Foster touches the ball 24 times, but he still doesn’t look happy with it
