Obviously AP > Slaton, but still.

Slaton has neck/shoulder injuries to blame. AP, I'm not sure of.

munch I think LP is highlighting Slaton's fumbling problems..and the reason why texans were not too comfortable with him running the ball.

AP fumbles more than most backs because he stays in the play more than most backs. If he'd run out of bounds on that play like 90%+ of NFL backs would have there'd have been no fumble. Is it worth it? Remains to be seen. It's kinda like the "take the good with the bad" argument about Favre in the GB days.

It's going to be a crazy week 17, especially in the NFC. A lot of the games are going to be shootouts in the playoffs.

Right, Slaton had a neck/shoulder problem all year. AP's had a fumbling problem his whole career.
