I think he'll open some eyes with that inaugural performance.

Foster just earned himself a spot on some NFL team's 2010 roster. Good job, Arian!

First for Foster: In his first-career action on offense, rookie running back Arian Foster had 88 yards from scrimmage. An undrafted rookie from Tennessee, Foster had 13 carries for 34 yards and four catches for 54 yards.

Schaub said he liked the football IQ that Foster showed on the second-to-last play of the first half. Foster caught a pass, gained 15 yards up the left sideline and darted out of bounds with one second on the clock to set up a field goal attempt.

"He played a heck of a game," Schaub said. "He didn't have that deer in the headlights mentality. He came in there, he knew his assignment, did his job and he ran hard. He knew his routes and was there for me."

I hope that whomever made the call to start the Seahawk's Defense in fantasy followed his own advice. They're getting ripped a new one. Andre Johnson is the best receiver in the game today. Bar none.

Whoa there. Until Moss loses two steps, he's the best WR in the league by a while.

I would love to see him play on a regular basis, it sucks his college career is defined by one play.

It wasn't "one" play. There were several plays that defined his career. There's a reason he was nicknamed "Always Fumbles." He might be the greatest guy in the world, but contrary to what Fulmer said he did have a fumbling problem.

From ESPN's Fantasy Player Update.

"Foster had a team-high 13 carries for 34 yards in Sunday's 34-7 win over Seattle. He also caught four passes for 54 yards."

"Spin: Foster actually got some work in the first half before the game turned into a blowout and was able to make some plays. Veteran Chris Brown was a non-factor, rushing for just seven yards on three carries, and while Ryan Moats did some positive things with 10 carries for 43 yards and a touchdown, he fumbled early in the fourth quarter and did not see the ball again. The fumble by Moats, even though it was in garbage time, may have opened the door slightly for Foster as coach Gary Kubiak probably has seen enough poor ball security this season (Steve Slaton was a fumbling machine before his season ended with a shoulder/arm injury). Foster, an undrafted rookie from the University of Tennessee has a big body, so he possibly could supplant Brown as the goal-line back or simply be more in the mix between the 20s. Houston plays at St. Louis next week, so Foster could potentially be a nice pickup for those who are somewhat desperate for a running back."

Wouldn't it be funny if they gave him the starting job for being the least likely RB on the team to fumble?

There was a nice article before the game about Foster.

Foster aims to make most of chance with Texans | Top stories | Chron.com - Houston Chronicle


Obviously, since his coach thought he'd get 5 touches, wanted to give him 10, but, in the end, gave him 17... it was a great outing for Foster.

We'll see more of him. Way to make the most of the opportunity, Arian. It's awesome to see former Vols play on Sundays.
