NFLN PLaybook all pick Texans

How many seasons have they been to the playoffs?

They're only getting hype because Manning is out for the Colts. People have anointed them AFC South Champs already. Texans do have our number though... This week, that all changes.

Without that 99 yarder from Welker we were hanging with the Patriots. We can hang easily with the Texans.

I really really hope the players dont think that....

LOL. Variety of formations. I think we saw it all last week. And wake doesn't choose whether he wants to rush or not Dansby or
Nolan will tell or signal to Wake when to rush and when to drop back.

I doubt the Texans formations will dictate what Wake does, but, we do a lot of bootleg type stuff once we break off a few runs, which is what I think the NFLN analysts were more referring to. At that point it will be up to Wake to decide if he`s chasing a runner or still going after the QB.

And as far as formations go, the Texans are going to motion their backfield a lot more than what the Pats did I can garuntee that. Mostly it`s probably going to come from James Casey motioning to the inside and running routes on PA plays, and he`s got some good hands and good route running skills. As far as a lot of the talk about how the Texans don`t have the TE`s that NE does, that`s debateable honestly. Owen Daniels can be killer if he`s back to his old healthy self, and Joel Dreesen filled in nicely while Daniels was out with his ACL problem in 2009 and his recovery in 2010. Those two guys, plus James Casey (Who has played TE at the NFL level before) might mean that you see some sets that turn into 3-TE sets by the time the ball is snapped.

I agree. Stopping the Texans' offense is #1 about getting ahead of them early. If you can stop them from running the ball and then being able to run their bootleg game, then their offense becomes much easier to stop. The stretch run/bootleg action you guys run is the key to everything you guys do offensively. Stopping it in a relatively even game is fairly well impossible. The whole thing is too well coordinated. It can be done, but it just takes incredible discipline from everyone in the front 7 or 8, and usually there's a breakdown somewhere that can be exploited.
 
If we do not get a pass rush, Schaub is going to run for first downs all day. Brady does not scramble and had chances to all day. Look for long drives being kept alive by the scramble.

I don't know Nubs, coming off the back of having a team throw for a record number of yards on another team, makes it very hard to feel good about that team facing another QB that had over 4,000 yards last year. Houston also has better running backs and a true number 1 WR.

I can totally understand why they all picked the Texans. However, I have picked us to win it in my Pro-Pick 'em.

Who cares we have never beat them
 
What's funny though is they never even looked at the game from Miami's point of view. They looked at all the AFC matchups from both sides but not with HOU/MIA lol
 
Dolphins are going to win this game against Houston, our Defense will be adjusted to prevent what Houston is surely going to attempt on us after watching the game film of Fins/NE game and we will squash their attempts at a hurry-up attack by pounding through up the middle and flushing out the QB and pressing their WR at the LOS. Once he get's outside the pocket he will try to run with it where Dansby will light him up, this will all settle their offense approach down and play to our favor in the end. This is the same approach we should of changed to in the second half of the NE game but for whatever the reasons, we did not, not popping their receivers at the LOS allowed them to get off with a burst that turned every play into a foot race for our safeties and corners. I highly anticipate seeing a much different Miami Defense this week and beat Houston by more than 7 points regardless of what all these other analyst predict for us. GO DOLPHINS!!!!!

Based on the fact we have never actually won a game against the Texans in 5 trys I would not call it disrespect...More like playing the percentages.

This is the most important game of the year...Its really our on personal "Superbowl" if you will. If we win we all feel better about the season immediately. If we lose...Well lets just not go there until we have too.
