Steve Slaton is on the hot seat for the Houston Texans

24-year old Steve Slaton was excellent as a rookie in 2008 but last season he was pretty horrible.  He fumbled the ball 7 times losing 5 of them last season.  He played in 11 games for the Texans last season and he carried the ball 131 times for 437 yards (3.3 ypc) with 3 TD runs.  He also caught 44 passes for 417 yards (9.5 avg) with 4 TD grabs last year.  Slaton had a neck injury that probably had a lot to do with his production last season.  But, he will have competition for the starting job in 2010 as Arian Foster played well for the Texans at the end of the year.  Look for the Texans to also sign, trade for or draft a running back before training camp.  Slaton has now played in 27 games for the Texans and he has carried the ball 399 times for 1,719 yards (4.3 ypc) with 12 TD runs.  He has also caught 94 passes for 794 yards (8.4 avg) with 5 TD grabs in his career.

The Houston Texans turn back to Steve Slaton as the starting RB

23-year old Steve Slaton was awesome as a rookie for the Texans last season as he played in all 16 games carrying the ball 268 times for 1,282 yards (4.8 ypc) with 9 TD carries.  He also caught 50 passes for 377 yards (7.5 avg) with 1 TD grab this year.  Slaton only fumbled the ball 3 times all of last season losing 2 of them.  But, this season Slaton has had butter fingers as he has fumbled 7 times already this season losing 5 of them.  Slaton also has not played too well in general.  He has played in 9 games this season for the Texans and he has carried the ball 116 times for 359 yards (3.1 ypc) with 3 TD runs.  Slaton also has caught 32 passes for 326 yards (10.2 avg) with 3 TD grabs this season.  The Texans really need Slaton to return to the form he showed as a rookie last season to give the offense more balance.  If he continues to put the ball on the ground he will fall behind Ryan Moats and Chris Brown on the depth chart.

Steve Slaton has been awful for the Houston Texans this season

Steve Slaton has been terrible this season and he is in danger of losing carries to Chris Brown.  Slaton has carried the ball 26 times for 51 yards (2.0 ypc) this season.  He has also caught 6 passes for 60 yards (10.0 avg) this year.  He has fumbled the ball three times already this season (lost one of them).  Coach Kubiak has been very tough on Slaton as he wants the kid to play like he did last year.  The Texans are only averaging 50.5 yards rushing per game this season and that just won’t get the job done.
