Well guys I have to disagree with all of you for once. Sadly I think the Texans will lose another game this week because you still have no AJ, JJ, Mathis, and perhaps even Ahman Green won't even play again this week against the Dolphins. THESE GUYS ARE OVER HALF of OUR OFFENSE ! Especially when AJ is getting 60% of the catches for us , I'm afraid it might be another disappointing week for our Texans but I will keep hope alive .
Mathis is expected to practice tomorrow. AJ and JJ are out. Green is listed as questionable. I think Mathis will make a big difference on his own. The way Andre Davis played, adding Mathis will make a big deal as they'll be able to run more 3 WR sets...at least with a 3rd WR that warrants coverage.
Maestro, the game is at Reliant. Hopefully, AJ is back for the Titans game. We can probably get by with him missing the next 2 so long as Green is back in the eye. Dayne does well playing off another RB (fire and ice thing) but, obviously cannot be the main cog.
It's time to get back to winning ... one, we're back home where we're starting to get a little bit of confidence at Reliant. Two, the Dolphins on D are shell of their former selves. Jason Taylor has largely been MIA not pun intended. Zach Thomas will he be in the lineup? Three, stick to Dom BIG TIME! Blitz D-Ryans at least 6 times! He's so fast they can't get him blocked most of the time. Do this and you break down their pass protection schemes regardless BIG TIME! Must put Trent on the ground alot, he's been a solid QB in his career. This year, eh ... obviously something is not right. Prediction: Texans 31, Dolphins 10. Mathis with another KR TD. Schaub 16-20-230 2 TDs, 0 INTs. Got to get back to pounding the rock effectively this week. Need 130+ rushing. This week no turnovers and we get a couple plus at least 4 sacks. Let's get it right this time, D. Your team needs you step it up until AJ gets back. Gitter done, Texans!
to people predicting the Texans to score 30+ points: can you tell me where you're getting your toke from?
Green is day-to-day, according to an interview with him I heard yesterday. Like the guys were saying on 610 this morning... Kubiak needs to play Gado if Green can't go. At least let Dayne and Gado split up the carries. Dayne is not an every down back.
I'm worried if Green doesn't play. Hopefully we dont see Faggins out there much. No more predictions for me. The first time I did that, we lost to the Falcons. Go Texans!
Atlanta is a much better team than Miami, and this week, the game is in Houston. And no, this isn't something I'm basing off one week.
http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/sports/5183549.html Sounds like Faggins could very well be benched this Sunday (finally). I'm not completely sold on Fletcher's coverage skills and Bennett is a rookie, but Faggins has been horrible for the past 2 seasons IMO and we need to see if someone else can make some plays.
okoye wins defensive rookie player of the month http://www.khou.com/sports/stories/khou071003_cc_okoyerookofthemonth.1356d6c90.html If bennett is given a chance to play, I believe he will make the most of his opportunity.
With Green, and both JJ and JM back on the field, 30 points is a probability especially with the D actually showing up this time. But, without Green, score more like 21-24 points. Bottom line, the D needs to go out there and dominate whether we score 7, 10,14, 17, etc. Hopefully, Gado does something positive if Ahman cannot go.
With Mathis getting more action as a WR, would you be ok if Dexter Wynn takes care of KRs? I certainly would, Wynn isn't a slouch. I'm just curious if you would too.
Time to get back on track. Texans 27 Dolphins 20 Btw, Kevin Harlan and Rich Gannon will call the game for CBS.
