In last week's Dolphins-Titans game, all 5 sacks were allowed by the Dolphin guards, one being a replacement for the replacement of the starter, Seth McKinney.
In all of the Dolphin's sacks, 5 were on Culpepper not getting the ball off.

That title is cribbed by a PTI segment with that name. sigh.
It will be interesting to see what the Texans defense will look like on Sunday. On one hand, given the to date performance, part of me expects more of the same. On the other hand, I want to see if there were any changes made that can show up on the field that quickly in a positive way.
On the fly changes are hard to do. So much of athletic performance is confidence in what you are doing, and sometimes it is hard to change up a bunch of stuff and get those changes to stick in a short period of time and not have the changes result in something worse.
Example 1 A. Every time I get a golf lesson, my game gets worse, at least in the short term. I get thinking too much in my head of what I am supposed to be doing, instead of just hitting the ball. You'd think the game of golf would be easy cuz it's quiet, the dang ball is just sitting there and all, but it is maddening how you can play really well one week, and then play like you have never picked up a club.
I've been to some lessons where the instructor were so bad, I just had to ignore everything I was taught by that guy and go back to what I was doing. (I consulted with others who told me what he was teaching me was crap). There have been other lessons that took longer to implement, but once I did them, it was all good.
It will be interesting to see whether the adjustments they make on Sunday make things worse or better short term. You would think it couldn't get any worse given how things are, but you would be wrong.
It can always get worse. -Signed Houston Texans fan
