From PFT: Texans safety Andre Hal is out. They also won’t have cornerback Aaron Colvin (ankle), offensive lineman Zach Fulton(ankle), tight end Ryan Griffin (illness), inside linebacker Brian Peters (ankle) and cornerback Shareece Wright (shoulder/hand/groin). If you’re keeping count at home, that’s seven players. So that’s the Texans’ inactive list for this week. The Dolphins won’t have defensive end Charles Harris (calf), receiver Kenny Stills (groin) or quarterback Ryan Tannehill (right shoulder). Tight end A.J. Derby (foot) is questionable. Derby and Tannehill were limited participants in Wednesday’s practice.
That's six, not seven. Andre Hal (2nd FS) Aaron Colvin (1st RCB) Shareece Wright (2nd RCB) Brian Peters (2nd MIKE) Zach Fulton (1st RG) Ryan Griffin (1st TE) Their secondary will be light. Offensively, I hope we try to take advantage of this. Split Drake wide often, stick with Gore on the ground against Watt and Co., and get Gesicki involved early (he has 5 inches on their tallest DB). Defensively, I trust Howard to corral Hopkins for the most part; if he's struggling, we can double-team him since Watson won't have his go-to TE underneath. Just don't let him have a big night on the ground and force Lamar Miller to carry the brunt of the workload. It's a winnable game, but I think it's going to be very low scoring. Turnovers will be costly to both teams. 17-14, Miami.
I guess the guys from PFT can't count. I didn't even notice it. They're a damaged as we are. Let's get a win and be 5-3 and have a nice mini bye. We sure could use it.
They haven't lost 6 starters for the year on top of the guys that are dinged up for this game. We are quite a bit more beat up than them.
We'd better add a few of those refs to the injury report- they almost can't be the real ones. We learned that on the opening kickoff alone...it's just impossible to be that incompetent. Miami got a formation penalty that let us gain six yards. I mean, come on...LOL. There's no way we had the ball at the 19 and the Texans coach said to kick it again.
