Our Houston Texans recieved their first win of the season against the Miami Dolphins Sunday, defeating them 17-15 in a well played game. This is very big for our Texans upon heading into the bye week, as this now boosts the team's confidence, boosts the fans confidence and gives us some momentum and something to build off of.
I was very proud of our Houston Texans in the way they responded to some critisism from Head Coach Gary Kubiak following the loss vs. Washington. Particularly, the defense. I was very pleased to see us get off the field on most of Miami's 3rd down attempts. I was very pleased to see us send pressure at Culpepper and get some sacks on him. Mario Williams really stepped up against Miami after getting some critisism from Kubiak. He got almost 2 sacks and opened it up for other players of our defense to get to him. I am very proud of Mario, he has had so much pressure on hmi since he was drafted and he will take time to develop. He will eventually develop into a solid player, and we certainly seen a preview of that Sunday against Miami. He handles himself like a professional to say the least.
Overall, my hat goes off to the entire defense. They really stepped up and were a major part of our success versus Miami. We still have alot of work to do, and it will still take time with a new scheme and new players, but it will develop into something positive for the future.
On offense, we eliminated the small, carless mistakes for the most part this game. We did not fumble any snap exchanges, have to many costly penalties, we did have one interception when Carr hit AJ and AJ bobled it and the Miami defender snatched it, but that stuff will happen.
We did struggle some in the first half on offense in terms of getting a TD, but we had a nice TD drive late in the 3rd/start of the 4th quarter, and had another TD drive later in the 4th. Our offense came through when they needed to, late in the game with two key TD's. That is the sign of a good offense when you can come through big when the game's on the line, and we certainly did that today.
Overall, great game played against Miami.
We are 1-3 heading into our bye week, which is not to bad considering again, we have many rookies starting, many new players, a new coaching staff and new schemes on both sides of the ball. This will take time, but we seen today what can happen when everyone's on the same page.
We have all the elements in place for a winning football team on a consistent basis for a long period of time with these Texans. I said before the season we can have a good amount of success this year, I still said it when we were 0-3, and with this Win over Miami, I say it loud.
This team may very well have started to turn the corner, and again, we have a long way to go, one hell of a schedule from here on in, but we are a quarter way thru this football season and I can say I like the direction we are heading.
Great job cheering us on Sunday fans, it was also very great to see Reliant Stadium rockin' like that. Good time are coming, I have been saying it for a long time yes, but we are getting closer and closer.
Go Texans!
