dalucks, now I know you’re truly insane. Holliday is another Darren Sproles? LOL!!!

You even know why Holliday hasn’t caught on with the team? Because he got scared returning kicks. Obviously you didn’t watch him his rookie year.

What sucks for him was that he really had no chance when he came to Houston. He came the year of Arians blow out season and thought he would at least sit behind him with Ben Tate out with the season ending injury, and last year Ben Tate looks like he could be the starter for another team when he played those games Arian was out. We really have a dynamic duo here in Houston, but if Arian keeps working he won’t need to share carries and as much as I hate to say it we could trade Ben Tate I think for a high pick or a reciever if he gets his chance to show what he can do.

O and to the guy who thinks trindon holliday is a closet darren sproles- Ur smoking reffer homie. Gary Kubiak isnt tryin to make Hollinday anything but worth his cost to the texans being a 5th rd pick. Hes nothing like darren sproles. HE DOESNT HAVE THE VISION, THE INSTINCTS, THE ABILITY TO MAKE NFL DEFENDERS MISS TACKLES IN THE OPEN FIELD AND IN TIGHT SPACES LIKE DARREN SPROLES DOES. All Holliday can do is run and his nfl career is likely near its end.

Sure hes no Arian Foster but ive seen every carry this guys had for the past two seasons and in the right scheme he can still be a productive back . No hes not a feature back by any means but he can still be a spell guy who can give u quality carries. The texans were very pleased with how Ward played when given the opportunity but jumped on forsett because of his familiarity with the zone scheme and his ability to help out as a kick/punt returner (something ward does not do) if the rookie wr keshawn martin struggles in that role early on

Why did he leave the Giants in the first place?

Can you do what Arian Foster does? Exactly.

As a Texans fan, I can truly say that I do not care either way. Ward or Forsett, I personally think David Meggett would be fine as the 3rd RB on the roster. Trindon Holiday would be another Darren Sproles type if Gary Kubiak would stop trying to make him a wide receiver.

I remember the stories when he showed up to Bucs training camp in his new Lambo one year.

Then got cut a few weeks later.

Don’t worry Derrick Tampa knows what you can do…play terrible football, fumble a lot, cry like a baby, get cut, and steal Millions of Dollars from the Buccaneers while pretending to be a NFL running back.

I liked Ward when he was on the Giants, but he should have realized his success was mostly due to incredible OLine play. Him and Jacobs had 1,000 yards the same season. He left to take more money with TB, did nothing, then went to HOU and did nothing. Too bad. I hope he saved his money.
