Texans head coach Gary Kubiak felt better about Steve Slaton after the running back's Week 3 effort against the Jaguars. "He played better," Kubiak tells the team's official web site. "I thought he was a little more aggressive to the line of scrimmage. He did a good job in protection. We put him in some tough edges against their three-four." Slaton saw only 12 carries, but he ran well and wasn't the one (Chris Brown) who fumbled at the goal line late in the contest.
