Kubiak: We got a playmaker
"We have to run the ball to be successful. We're going to start there," Kubiak said. "That's why we went out and we got a player that has explosive, playmaking ability in Ahman Green. We re-signed Dayne, who played well for us last year. There's no pressure then on Samkon, Wali or Chris Taylor. They can just show us what they are capable of, because we already know who our two guys are right now."

The Texans have turned one of their biggest weaknesses from 2006 into a strength. They will take five running backs into training camp, guaranteeing fierce competition, especially among Gado, Lundy and Taylor, a second-year player.

The three youngsters will receive a number of repetitions because Kubiak expects to rest Green, 30, for one practice each day during two-a-days. He might do the same with Dayne.
