    HOUSTON (Ticker) - James Allen, who rushed for 519 yards for the Houston Texans in their inaugural season, was re-signed Tuesday.

    Terms were not disclosed.

    The 5-10 Allen spent four seasons with the Chicago Bears before joining the Texans, where he carried 155 times last season while setting career highs with 47 receptions for 302 yards.

    Allen's best season was 2000, when he rushed for 1,120 yards on 290 carries for the Bears. He played collegiately at Oklahoma and ran for 768 yards as a senior.

    What for? He's too small to pick up the blitz. I mean, half of David Carr's sacks came from Allen not picking up the blitz or him getting bowled over en route to the sack.

    Huh?

    I could've sworn that he was used mostly on third and long to help protect Carr.

    I'm sure other teams were banging down his door to offer him a contract.

    Brown had 1,000 in 8 games. That was amazing. After that he flopped.

    Allen was the Texans best back at picking up the blitz last year. That being said Wells was horrible at it and Allen was only mediocre.

    James Allen is a friend of mine, and I am glad he was offered a one year deal. You guys will be suprised what a little protection will do for you.
    Go Texans!! :)
