I think you both might be right about Slaton, he seems to really fit that offense well and is the most talented of their backs.

Slaton is being drafted number 217 overall, he’d undoubtedly be a steal in the 22nd round of any draft. I’ve got a feeling he ends up getting the bulk of the carries for the Texans.

Anybody that makes it to the NFL level ovbiously “isn’t” completely talentless, but the comment was more of a tongue in cheek attempt at humor than a full on indictment of Forte’s overall abilities.

But you called him “talentless”, all I am saying is a guy who sees him daily said he looked “spectacular” and that he has shown power, speed and good hands, seems like if he didnt play for the Bears he would be a “sleeper”

Let me ask you quickly, taking a look at that offense, who would you be excited about? Kyle Orton? Marty Booker? Maybe it’s “the other” Adrian Peterson. In that case, mediocrity might be something to get excited about. My biggest problem with Forte is that he’s supposed to be a straight ahead runner, who lacks speed, but is patient and waits for the hole to open. You tell me, does this seem like an offense that’s going to allow him that opportunity?

One guy they are excited about on offense, is rookie running back Matt Forte. “He has looked spectacular, Dickerson said. “He has shown power, speed and good hands.”

How did he look when you were at Bears camp ?
