It good to have more than one UMass grad playing RB in the NFL...AZGrizFan wrote:That's good news for Marcel.

Re: Shipp signs with the Texans
Yeah....it DOES sound like (after listening to Coach on the radio this a.m.) that Hightower is definitely the #2 back. But I'm guessin' that all along, it was a battle for the #3 slot between Baylark and Shipp....dbackjon wrote:Even worse, a Richmond GradAZGrizFan wrote: That's good news for Marcel.

Probably. And at 1.75 million, Shipp lost the numbers game.

Re: Shipp signs with the Texans
A short article in the Houston paper's web site doesn't say it directly...but it sounds like this could be just a temporary stop for Shipp...dbackjon wrote:AZGrizFan wrote: Yeah....it DOES sound like (after listening to Coach on the radio this a.m.) that Hightower is definitely the #2 back.

Re: Shipp signs with the Texans
So I was listening to local sports talk radio on my way home yesterday afternoon (around 5:00) and they were talking about Hightower and Marcel Shipp...one of the guys asked "Did Marcel land anywhere?" and neither knew the answer....I called the station to tell them "at cs.com, WE know the answer! And we knew it this morning!" but they wouldn't take my call. Bastards.
