Houston Texans running back Arian Foster ran for 231 yards and three touchdowns against a Colts defense that had no answers. As the Houston Chronicle beat reporter put that number into context, Earl Campbell's best single-game rushing yardage total was 206.
The question is whether the Texans running game is real or a reflection that the Colts' undersized run defense is terrible. I think the signs point to real, though not at the pace shown against Indy. Here's some factors to look at:
* New Offensive Coordinator: When new offensive coordinator Rick Dennison came to the Texans, I wondered if he was going to be able to fix the team's abysmal running game. Most signs post to yes.
In public talks this offseason, Dennison said he was amazed that the team's play-action game in 2009 was so effective last year despite the struggles of the running game, and said that the running game is a key priority.
