Do you guys throw the ball?
How have the special teams looked for you guys? I know Carpenter is money, but is Bush returning kicks for you guys like he did in N.O.? How's the coverage?
I thought our line held up pretty well last night. Andre has got me worried big time now though, especially if Vontae gets another case of the cramps. Of course he always worries me when he goes against the fins, but even more so after our secondaries performance last night. Btw, love the avatar bong!
The New Guy said:No, Reggie did not return any punts or kicks. The kick returns are not very good at this point. Gates never got anything going and we kept getting penalties. It seemed like we were always starting deep on our end of the field. I kept hoping that Gates would just kneel in the endzone so we could at least start at the 20.
NE did not punt very often, and when they did there were few opportunities to return them, so it is hard to judge.
The punt and kick coverage seemed fairly solid. NE got a couple of decent returns, and we did have some penalties, but there were no really big plays that killed us. Compared to last years game against NE, the ST are much improved, but that is not saying much.
I view the Texans ST units in the same way. Last year we had Slaton doing dumb stuff like fair catching a punt at the 1, or no kickoff returns getting past the 15 or 20 yard line. Sunday we had Danieal Manning get a nice KO return and Jacoby Jones running in one Colts punt 79 yards for 6 points. I think ST's could be a big big factor in this game along with the matchup of the Texans passing game vs the Dolphins secondary.
I don't think the defense will be as bad as they were last night. They certainly can't get any worse.....I hope They were a very good unit last year, and have all the starters back. I think the problems can be fixed. Just not sure how much will be with this short week.
I do think the Texans will be able to move the ball and score. What I am curious to see is how the Dolphins new offense matches up with the Texans D. Hopefully, we can keep up and it will be another close game.
dont run the no huddle on us plz =/, our players will start crampin and falling over and than you will win the game, oh wait......
Hey Dolphins fans, just wanted to drop by and wish you guys a good injury free game this Sunday against the Texans. I know you guys probably hate the Texans guts by this time with all of the silly endings that our two teams have had over the years, but I feel as though these two teams always have a really good game with a great ending.
I noticed that Henne looks a lot more improved than he did last year although the running game that you guys were known for the last couple of years doesn't seem as dominant as it once was. Not sure what to make of The Most Handsome Man in the NFL getting all those passing yards and I hope that Schaub can at least do a serviceable impression but I doubt it'll be like that.
Anyways if you have any questions about the Texans I'd be more than happy to answer them, but if you want to just tell me to GTFO then that's fine too. Just wanted to say good luck :)
