Steve Slaton Wants his Job Back
Written by Travis Pulver, Sunday August 01 2010
In his first season he appeared to be the answer to the running game woes of the Houston Texans. Last season, his sophomore year in the NFL, he was anything but the answer. Rested and recovered from surgery, Steve Slaton is out to prove that he still can be the running back the Texans want.
With training camp now underway for the Texans, Slaton aims to prove just that.
"That's what training camp is all about…It's about coming out here and learning from the mistakes that you've made and showing the coaches what you have." (Chron)
Slaton has been working out with the second team so far; former scout team running back Arian Foster has been getting the first team reps.
Last season the Texans were among the worst when it came to running the ball; only the San Diego Chargers and Indianapolis Colts were worse. With a healthy Slaton, rookie Ben Tate, and Foster fighting for time running back coach Chick Harris is confident the team will do better in 2010.
"Competition breeds success…We have great competition, and I think that should definitely make us better." (Chron)
