I should have been more clear. I'm not saying that my fears will be realized this week but that those are my general concerns. The Dolphins are offensively challenged and I'd like to think the Texans can keep them well contained.

Gotcha. Then I defintely echo those concerns, just not necessarily this week, or really next week too much. The OAK and PIT game....that's another story. At least we have a couple of weeks for Wade to figure it out.

I'm generally right about most everything I take the time to analyze. That may sound nauseatingly self-congratulatory and perhaps it is. But let me shine the light for a moment on a corner where I am almost always wrong, spectacularly wrong, even. That is predicting which college quarterbacks will be good NFL quarterbacks. I thought Jamarcus Russell would be great and that Cam Newton would be terrible. Is that a good enough illustration for you?

[WMH]

Any who....

Texans inactives versus the Dolphins are Kevin Walter, Derrick Ward, TJ Yates, Brandon Harris, Derek Newton, Thomas Austin, & Garrett Graham.

I predict we see the rookie QB Gabbert the first time we play the Jags this year, as McGowan just threw his third interception in todays game and is single-handedly losing the game to the Jets.
Make it 4 - before I could complete this post, McGowan thru another one ! They are saying that Gabbert is now warming up.

Miami wins the toss and defers - Texans to receive.

Kickoff goes out of the endzone. Texans ball at their 20.

Pass in the flat to AJ good for 5. 2nd and 5 coming up.

Pass to OD good for 10, 1st down.

Schaub is pressured and throws it away. 2nd and 10 coming up.

Foster for 14, 1st down.

Foster for about 2. 2nd and 8 coming up.

Foster for 6. 3rd and 2 coming up.

Dump off to Foster gets 3 and the 1st down.

Deep pass to JJ is tipped and caught, JJ is out of bounds at the 8 yard line.

Foster for 3. 2nd and goal at the 5.

Foster for no gain. 3rd and goal coming up.

Schaub can't find anyone open and throws it away. Texans will have to go for the FG.

Rackers 23-yard FG is off the post but good.

Texans 3, Dolphins 0

[Big Texas]

Let's go texans...

Double Marshall and stack the box and we should win this one...

I know that was a little over simplified...

Shaub no dumb ass throws...

[chuck]

Lucky to get those three, good lord.

Sloppy red zone execution but a good drive to start the game.
