The Texans are sticking by running back Steve Slaton despite his fumbles issues. Slaton has lost four fumbles in seven games this season. "It's a concern when you put it on the ground as much as he has," coach Gary Kubiak told the Houston Chronicle. "It's a concern to him. I believe in Steve, and our team believes in him and trusts that to be successful and accomplish some of the things we want to accomplish as a team, we need Steve making those plays. "We've got to stand behind him. To me, it's up to all of us to help him get over this issue ? me, (running backs coach) Chick (Harris), everybody on the staff, the whole team helping him in practice. We're going to stand behind Steve and help him get this corrected because we need his big plays to win."
