I really don't think they'll do anything with Davis, although a likely destination IMO would be Minny. But if they're going to draft Bush (who split carries in college) they should keep Davis as a security blanket.
I wonder if Jamal may end up in Arizona??

that's probably good new for a Ravens fan, Lewis is washed up.
If I was starting a drug cartel, he'd be my franchise. But not to run the ball in the NFL.
I was hoing they were going to waste there money on him..... bodes well for a fan of a divisional rival.
Now if only C. Palmer could get his mobility back.

Give Palmer time and he'll be fine. The surgery already went much better than expected, it should follow that the recovery will too. As for Lewis, he's not all that bad, he just can't catch. He could be a very useful backup on a lot of teams. Davis will either go to Minnesota in a trade or stay where he is. Bush did split carries, so he can do it again, and Bush/Davis behind an improved line would be very hard to stop.

they could keep him but they don't want a Travis Henry situation
in the NFL it's hard to have two young RB spliting carries, it's cool with Faulk and Jackson because JAckson knows his time is coming, but with two young guys that both want to prove themselves i don't it will

Well, Henry actually didn't do anything at all. And was suspended for substance abuse, so in their case it helped to keep Chris Brown. If you're referring to his situation in Buffalo the problem was more money then anything, that's not the case in Houston, Davis doesn't make that much at all in his first 2 seasons and in the short term could help them. You figure the way both of those RB's (Davis and Bush) can both really catch the football so playing a guy like Bush in a Westbrook type of role and still have a guy like Davis running is a pretty good idea IMO.

it is, but IMO it wont work well for more than a year or 2. So get rid of Davis now and get some young OL and start teaching them the ropes of the NFL

It won't work for more then a year or 2, so that leads you to just get rid of him now?
If Bush gets hurt, Davis is a really nice security blanket to fall back on....especially in Reggie's first year, a guy like Davis could really help him along.

Absolutely right. Look at all the running powerhouse teams. They have at least two dangerous backs. Davis is a bigger guy that they'll need for more power running. Bush and Davis if they work together can be a great one-two punch for the Texans running game.

I think that may be exactly what Kubiak has in mind too. A similar plan worked nicely in Denver for him...

dont forget about jonathon wells and vernand morency those guys played well when davis was unavailable, which is why I think they go with the brick as the first pick, it would be the smartest move for them
