Encouraging Steve Slaton:
“People smell blood because he's put some balls on the ground,” Kubiak said. “They're really getting after him. I told him when I walked in with him after the game, ‘You know we're going to go as far as you take us. You've got to figure out a way to protect the football. We're going to work with you throughout the week, but you've just got to hang on to that football.'

“Steve's our guy, and I have a lot of confidence in him. It's our job to help him find a way to hold on to the football. He touches it, and good things happen. But at the same time, you can make five big plays and one turnover can get you beat. Steve understands that.”

Indeed he does.

“I hurt the team,” Slaton said. “I've got to put two hands on the ball. I have to know when I can't get any more yards and just go down.”

Comments Houston coach Gary Kubiak made after the Arizona game might have led people to conclude the Texans were contemplating backing away from trying to establish the run, but he set the record straight Thursday.
The team's difficulties on the ground “(don't) change what you're doing, what you're teaching,” he said. “We're going to stay committed to what we're doing. My comment was that if we get there on game day and we're not running the football, we're going to do what we've got to do. But we're never going to get away from trying to run the football.”
Asked if running back Ryan Moats might be given more of chance with Steve Slaton and Chris Brown struggling, Kubiak referenced the Arizona game, saying: “We had 17 carries. It's pretty hard to split 17 carries up between three guys. I'd like to see him touch the ball, but we've got to see how the game plays out.”

At least RB Chris Brown's role with the Texans is defined. He's Steve Slaton's backup. If the Texans are running the ball well, Gary Kubiak said Brown should get “10 to 12 carries a game.” But the Texans ran the ball so poorly in their 24-7 paddling by the Jets he and Slaton combined for only 12 carries.

“Hopefully,” Kubiak said of the Texans' do-over opportunity in Music City, “we'll run the ball effectively and we'll get to see a lot of both of them.”

Kubiak used Brown on third-and-1 on the Texans' first series and he debuted auspiciously, bursting off left tackle for 11 yards. But he took just two more handoffs the rest of the way.

Shouldn't he have received more of a look against the Jets with Slaton (nine rushes, 17 yards) struggling? Brown smiled. He wasn't going anywhere near there, either.

“Can't answer that one,” he said. “That's one of those trick questions.”

Brown could complement Slaton in short yrd situations

At 6-foot-3 and 234 pounds, Chris Brown could be the big back the Texans need to complement starter Steve Slaton in short-yardage situations.

He showed that skill on a 2-yard touchdown run in Houston's preseason opener. Now the Texans are hoping they can count on him in that role this season after a back problem kept him out all of last year.

"I think it made the whole team feel very good," coach Gary Kubiak said of Brown's performance against the Chiefs. "He wants to finish his career the right way — playing good football. I think our guys are rooting for him because he's very well-liked in the locker room and very respected."

Slaton established himself as the starter by rushing for more than 1,200 yards as a rookie last season, but the Texans are looking for another back to ease his workload this year.

Brown is Houston's biggest back by far, a full six inches and almost 20 pounds bigger than Slaton. If Brown can contribute, he should be able to help Houston's offense near the goal line, a place where Slaton struggled last season.
