So i guess the Texans have a better running back than us regardless of the fact they are like 30th in the league rushing..lol what a joke

Well, considering our running game is just as bad as our passing game, that is very understandable... We are averaging just over 100 yards per carry, but that is only happening because of the Seattle game... Our other 4 games have a league-bottom average...

100 yards per carry? You're right, that really sucks.

Doesn't Slanton lead the league in all purpose yards from scrimmage? I know he is at least in the top 3. And as Yahoo points out we have been given up huge chunks of yards and receptions to average backs this year.

But Slaton leads in fantasy receiving production from the RB position (282 yards, 2 TDs), and SF has allowed monster receiving tallies by RBs Tim Hightower(notes) (12/121), Chester Taylor (7/70) and Justin Forsett(notes) (6/57). For that reason, Slaton’s a justifiable play this week.

You gotta remember though that those huge chunks we have given are in games where we were playing game managment....giving hightower all day to stop fitz and boldin....giving forsett all day with us in the lead...and we only let AP rip off one good one

Slaton is gonna have a big day I full expect us to be keying on stopping their passing threat with Johnson, Walter and Daniels fully capable of going Roddy White on us...

Crikey, according to the match up the Texans have a worse OL than we do? How is that possible?

Well, the way we attack the run, count on at least one more.
