It seems that Slaton has been cleared for mini-camp since this post was created. I'm very excited to see the competition between the three backs. I honestly think it will come down to Tate being the main guy and Slaton being the third down guy and passing downs.

Really I thought that Slaton would be the man in Houston.

Eventually I think Tate will be a very good NFL back, I'm just not convinced he will be able to carry the starting load as a rookie, and I would prefer they bring him along slowly rather than rushing him or putting him into a situation he isn't ready for. Everyone seems to be forgetting about Arian Foster who did a very nice job filling in last year when Slaton went down. I would expect Slaton to be the starter at the beginning of the season (if he has learned how to hang on to the ball) and Foster being the third down guy with Tate getting some situational carries. Tate will probably continue to see an increasing role as the season goes on. I don't think Moates will be a real factor at all and Henry may not even make the team out of camp. Overall the team has very good depth, but the way injuries seem to pile up for these guys, that's a good thing.
