Concerns:
- Our front 3 is not very good. Houston just ran for a butt-load of yards at 6.1 per carry. I didn't see the game, but from what I've listened to the Texans are described as a much more physical team than years past. This does not bode well for our D. I'm sure Haslett will gameplan for this, but to do that you are now relying on our CBs in Man Coverage vs. A. Johnson. I'm not as worried about Rogers, but I don't like a D. Hall vs. A. Johnson match-up.

- Our OLBs are still making too many mistakes in the run game, again not a good thing for a team that will likely be planning a run heavy / PA day.

- Houston only gave up 44 yards rushing.....but we are talking the Colts. Rush is often a four letter word to them.

Good Stuff for us:
- Our running game picked up in the second half (60 yds vs. 29 in the first). Hopefully this a sign of things to come.

- Houston's D ain't the Cowgirl D. If TW can control MW, we should be fine offensively. The Colts O is good, but 463 yds passing is a lot. The Houston secondary isn't scaring anyone.

- KS knows the Texans better than Kubiak knows the Shanahans. We should have a tactical/gameplanning advantage.

- We're at home.

It will boil down to if we can stop the run on a consistent basis. We do, we win. My prediction, Skins 30 - Texans 23.
