Last year, your Houston Texans trotted out the Johnson Brothers as their starting backfield. David Johnson and Duke Johnson Jr (no relation) were the last incarnation of former head coach Bill O’Brien’s a-gap attack run game. Unfortunately, neither Johnson was built to hammer the center of the o-line.
Now, with Nick Caserio’s reimagining of the Texans roster, Duke Johnson is gone, David Johnson is still here, and the running back room looks totally different.
Now, with new head coach David Culley hammering the ‘Competition Competition Competition’ theme down everyone’s throat, it’s anyone’s guess which running back will get the most carries.
