So, how are going to cover owen Daniels and Andre Johnson?

Offense is just going to have to show up again. Also, more pressure on Shaub. Let's not anoint the Texans amongst the elite just yet because the roughed up the Colts. There's no way the phins are that bad again...

I'm predicting a win. It's Week One - the secondary won't be nearly as bad as they were last night.

Put the Texans in their dark uniforms though and we'll wear the white ones.

They don't pose the same matchup problems the Pats do. They don't have an elite slot receiver which is what burned us yesterday along with the TEs. They also don't have Tom Brady back there. We just have to score more than yesterday.

We can stop them by hoping that Arian Foster isn't playing next week. There will be adjustments but the way our run defense looked it seems unlikely that we will be able to stop Foster. Next week is a scary match up for us. I'm not so much worried about Daniels and Johnson as I am if Foster is playing. If we have to keep our mind on him all the time I doubt we will be able to stop the other two.]

Our defense tackled like a bunch of *******, I was especially disappointed in Karlos Dansby. With that said, we were in the nickle most of the game because we were getting shredded by the pass. I would expect us to be better against a 2 WR look and out of our base defense. The tackling is an issue but I dont think Arian Foster playing is going to make a huge difference, the Texans can still run regardless and if the Dolphins dont tackle any better than they did Monday it wont matter who is running the rock.

Nolan will not let his defense play like that again............I'm convincing myself.

I am just waiting to see if they go into the hurry-up to see if they can tire us out...our DB's are not in shape...

oh god. please stop comparing the texans offense to the Patriots offense. Schaub threw 2 picks against an absolutely terrible Colts D. Sean and Vontae will be ok. We lost because we couldnt cover the TE's and wes welker. Contrary to what most people on this site believe, the Texans are a run first offense, and dont even come close to presenting the match-up problems the pats did.

Their Defense has probably improved, but you cant take much away from their first game. That colt offense wont do much with Collins at the helm. We have a much better chance of winning this game than we ever did wk 1 against the pats.
