Official Texans @ Dolphins Game Thread, 12/27/2009

[HPF Bob]

Reading the team report in USA Today Sports Weekly, it appears that Dolphin opponents are picking on rookie Vontae Davis the way some teams pick on Jacques Reeves when they play us - and for the same reason. Both have great speed and occasionally make spectacular plays but they just aren't great in coverage and are prone to giving up the BIG PLAY.

VY completed three passes of over 20 yards against the Fins last week so you'd hope Schaub could double that.

Duane Brown has to get healthy this week or we are stuck with Rashard Butler at LT against Jason Taylor.

I not so sure. I think Butler has some stones and will hold his own. IMO he can start on many of the NFL teams at LT now. Let's see what he can do.

I agree with that, now let's just hope we don't jinx him.

If you're in the Houston area and the Texans win this game, you may want to keep it on CBS after the game and root for the Eagles to beat the Broncos.....

Dolphins win the flip and defer - Texans to receive.

JJ brings the kickoff back to the 24.

Pass to AJ good for 13.

AJ catches the WR screen and turns it into 25. Flag on the play - offsides defense declined. Ball at the Dolphin 38.

Foster for about 4.

Foster for about 3 more. Brings up 3rd and 4.

Flip pass to C Brown only gets 1. Texans to go for the FG.

49 yard attempt is good!

Texans 3, Dolphins 0

Chris Brown did a good job getting the ball back into FG range. Texans take the early lead but they squandered a good opportunity by running the ball twice and leaving a predictable third down situation.

R Williams for about 5 and a 1st down.

R Williams TFL -4 by DeMeco.
