The Facts:
Morency is trying to adapt to the new system and earn the No. 3 spot behind Smith. But he must change his running style first."He's more of a shifty-type runner, and that's not what we want him to do," Gary Kubiak said of Morency. "We tell them they get one cut and then they have to get the ball downfield. He's being told a few different things than maybe he's been told in the past, but he's responded well and practiced well."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
At this point, the Texans' top backup is Smith, 34. Despite being more of a situational back at this point in his career, Smith is used to being asked to take on larger roles. Last year, he filled in for the injured Deuce McAllister and started seven games for the Saints. He was in a similar situation with the Tennessee Titans in 2004, starting four games in place of Chris Brown.
