When Arian Foster had groin surgery this offseason, many wondered if the Texans would be able to generate the kind of running game that the team will need to keep pressure off of quarterback Brian Hoyer while Foster is out of the lineup.
The results in the preseason haven’t done much to alleviate that concern. Texans backs are averaging 2.8 yards per carry in three preseason contests and coach Bill O’Brien said Tuesday that he wants to see more consistency from Alfred Blue, Chris Polk, Kenny Hilliard and Jonathan Grimes.
