Many people believe the Houston Texans need to increase the workload of rookie running back D’Onta Foreman.

Texans’ head coach Bill O’Brien was asked about Foreman on Friday and said that he believes he’s a three-down back.

O'Brien on Foreman: "He's a smart kid. Picks things up well. Good hands, good instincts. I see him as a three-down back."

I just wrote this week why I believe Foreman shouldn’t see an increase in his touches. You can read my reasoning here.

As good as Foreman has looked, he hasn’t outplayed current Texans’ starting running back Lamar Miller.
