The upcoming Dolphins game, 9/18/2011

Though I'm pissed I was off on my 52-0 Texans over Colts prediction, I feel confident enough to say Texans 35 Miami 3. Dan Carpenter is a really good kicker and I believe he will knock one through. And again anything less than this would be disappointing. We are not the Patriots where they left a revamping of the defense undone. We should sack, fluster, and intercept Henne all freaking day. Offense should also move the ball with ease. I just can't wait for our real test the Saints. Now that'll be awesome!

Foster practices again, expected to be ready for Week 2

Barring any setbacks, Texans running back Arian Foster is expected to play in Week 2 after practicing for a second consecutive day on Thursday.

Coach Gary Kubiak said Foster looked “much better” in practice than he did on Wednesday, when he returned from an Aug. 27 hamstring injury.

“This was our work day, but he looked good,” Kubiak said. “As long as everything’s smooth tomorrow, he should be ready to go.”

Hopefully, we'll get to give Foster plenty of rest just like last week. I want him healthy for the tougher defenses.

Ya, I suspect he'll (Foster) just be "part time" - 10 to 12 carries tops.

All of a sudden the Oakland game doesn't look like a breather anymore.... New Orleans, Pittsburgh, Oakland and Baltimore all in a row after this one. Very important for the Texans to take care of business in Miami...

Disagree. Arian's our horse, if he's ready, he rides. If he's not, then he shouldn't be on the field in the first place.

Now, if by some miracle....we end up with some crazy lead after the first half, then they should sit him in the 2nd. BUT, blow outs in the NFL are few and far between, and the Fins will be a much tougher game than the Colts were.

Yep, but I don't have Foster on my squad.

I just don't see the Fins as someone we can "rest" people on. They have some pretty decent talent on D, and we need our full arsenal each and every week in order to be competitive. If they guy can play, let him roll.
