Okay, so I’ve been digging into the Houston Texans’ history, specifically their running backs. It’s been a wild ride, let me tell you. I started this whole thing because, well, I’m a huge Texans fan, and I realized I didn’t know as much about the team’s history as I thought I did. So, I decided to dive deep into the running back position.
First off, I gathered all the data I could find. I scoured the internet, looking at every site that had info on the Texans’ roster throughout the years. There were tons of player profiles and stats out there, and it was a bit overwhelming at first. I made a huge spreadsheet, listing every player who ever started as a running back for the team, from 2002, when they started, all the way up to this year.
Compiling the Data
I focused on the main stats, you know, the ones that really matter for running backs, things like rushing yards, attempts, yards per carry, and touchdowns. I wanted to get a good sense of who the top performers were over the years, and I used Pro-Football-Reference to get most of the data.
Once I had all the numbers in one place, I started to see some patterns. Some names kept popping up, like Arian Foster and Domanick Williams. Those guys were serious workhorses for the team. Arian Foster, man, that guy was a beast. He’s got the most rushing yards in the team’s history, with over 6,000. And Domanick Williams is right behind him. I compared their stats, looked at their best seasons, and it was clear they were in a league of their own.
- Arian Foster – This guy was a monster on the field.
- Domanick Williams – He’s second in all-time rushing yards for the Texans.
- Lamar Miller – Solid runner, had some great seasons.
- Alfred Blue – Another important name in the list.
Analyzing the Top Performers
After that, I dug deeper into the other running backs on the list. Guys like Lamar Miller and Alfred Blue, they had some solid seasons too. It was cool to see how the team’s offense changed over the years and how different running backs fit into those schemes.
So, after all this digging, I’ve got a much better appreciation for the Texans’ running backs throughout history. It’s been a fun project, and I’ve learned a ton. I feel like I’ve put together a pretty comprehensive look at the position, and it’s clear that the Texans have had some real talent carrying the ball over the years.
I’ll keep updating this as new players come along, but for now, I’m pretty happy with what I’ve found. Go Texans!
