ANALYSIS: As most predicted, it was Alfred Blue who led the Texans backfield in touches in the team's first game without Arian Foster. Blue rushed for just 39 yards on 14 carries while catching five passes for 33 yards. This performance certainly did not solidify Blue's role as the lead back, and while Polk was similarly unimpressive he did have eight carries and one catch of his own. Clearly this backfield is unsettled, and many believe Polk is the better all-around talent of the two. He is definitely a better pass-catcher, and on the pass-happy Texans the third-down role could be productive even if Polk doesn't supplant Blue as the starter.
