Couple things of note: Paul played 60+ snaps last week I believe and he allowed 2 QBR and zero sacks. Just 1 game and it's the Jets but early look seemed as though he's learned a lot watching and getting ready for his chance. Miami did not insert him for Jackson when he went on IR at Right Tackle, instead they went with Lamm and I don't think that's because they don't believe in Paul but prefer him to prepare to be their next Left Tackle as early as next season.I think Miami is probably a better team than Houston is right now. They'd probably have a better record if they played in the South and Tua hadn't missed 4 games. Miami is still very much alive in the playoff hunt with a win.
For Houston, I think I'm starting to really wonder if Tank Dell is even the 2nd best WR when Diggs is hurt. I'd like to see Houston use John Metchie more, and perhaps that happens this week as Miami is awful against slot WRs, but defends the outside guys pretty well. That likely won't matter against Nico Collins, but Dell could see a lot of Jalen Ramsey. I think Miami does a decent job against Mixon.
I think Tua has a nice game against a mediocre secondary, that just lost its 2nd best player (Pitre) I think this especially sets up as a nice game for Achane in the pass game. If anything derails the offense, it'll be Patrick Paul vs Danielle Hunter, but I would think/hope Miami doesn't leave him on an island too much.

I think Paul is a solid prospect, but I think Hunter is a level above anyone the Jets have as a pass rusher. I do agree he's likely the long term guy there for them.Couple things of note: Paul played 60+ snaps last week I believe and he allowed 2 QBR and zero sacks.

2nd - Houston does not allow a ton of FF points to opposing QBs, I've enjoyed a 3-4 week run with Tua Tags, 30+ in most of my leagues last 4 weeks, he must be Top 5 over that span
I don't trust him and I don't think you understand that even at 7-7, Miami enters 2 full games back in the WC and 4 games left...Bolts, Ravens and Broncs all have 8-5 records, it's about over for Miami thinking Playoffs but yes they are still alive, barely I would say. Bolts play Bucs, Ravens play Giants, Denver likely will beat the Colts, even if Miami wins could easily still be 2 back in the WC with only 3 games left. I can see Miami going 10-7 and not getting into the Playoffs, they've done it before
Glad you have so much confidence in them, you've been a gem in these game threads the last several weeks, very much appreciate you popping in and sharing your thoughts
So many times QB couldn’t hit the WR on long bombs vs Texans this season. I think I read somewhere a stat that calculates teams who has either given up the most long receptions or should have if caught were the Texans. Seriously at one point I was counting at least 4-5 times a game where there was a wide open WR only to see Lawrence or Rodgers or Love or whoever miss them. I would even comment in game thread while those are incomplete you can’t credit the defense.Couple things of note: Paul played 60+ snaps last week I believe and he allowed 2 QBR and zero sacks.

We have the highest paid pair of WR’s who don’t get any targets so far….maybe one between them so far?Tua gonna Tua in December...same story every time

Switched over as the went back away, who was down for Houston?
Mixon. Hip-drop tackle by Brooks.Switched over as the went back away, who was down for Houston?
He is fine.How bad was it?
He supposed to come back inHow bad was it?
True. He's been off. I give some blame to McDaniel. Why only 1 pass to Jonnu?He is fine.How bad was it?
Tua vs winning teams……I keep saying it.
He sucks.
2 targets each for Hill and WaddelTua has a 124 QB rating passing to Jonnu, IIRC.
Oooof.That looked like a serious ankle or knee injury to Waddle. TBD.
But now walking on his own to the blue tent.Oooof.That looked like a serious ankle or knee injury to Waddle. TBD.
If he toughs it out I will surprised to be honest.But now walking on his own to the blue tent.Oooof.That looked like a serious ankle or knee injury to Waddle. TBD.
Good question. And you are right. Our backup situation was laughable.Mac Jones doing well enough to be an interesting backup QB for a team in 2025, but not good enough to be a starter. Would Miami offer him a contract with incentives? Miami could've been 8-5 with a better backup QB.
Plus Miami's oline with a backup rookie LT and backup to the backup RT is a bottom 5 oline unit. And now an INT by TUA!Another sorry butt performance by the Miami Offense in the 1st Half, such a sucker to have to roll Tua out there knowing no matter how many Media Heads, Social Platforms, Websites dedicated to FF that had Tua Top 5-10 all week despite the Texans being top 5 vs opposing QBs in FF
SUCKERS!!!
I told you MOP…..you know I told you.Another sorry butt performance by the Miami Offense in the 1st Half, such a sucker to have to roll Tua out there knowing no matter how many Media Heads, Social Platforms, Websites dedicated to FF that had Tua Top 5-10 all week despite the Texans being top 5 vs opposing QBs in FF

Carson Beck might fall to the 2nd or 3rd round. Does Miami pull the trigger.Patheticus McDaniel and Tua Tags doing what they do in December just like every headCoach/QB tandem before them in the 21st Century
Paul is a Top 50-60 pick that's had all season to learn behind ArmDud and Austin Powers at TacklePlus Miami's oline with a backup rookie LT and backup to the backup RT is a bottom 5 oline unit.

Good defense by HOU. plus Tua's been off.5 targets for Hill and Waddle: zero catches
How is that even possible?
I would.Carson Beck might fall to the 2nd or 3rd round. Does Miami pull the trigger.Patheticus McDaniel and Tua Tags doing what they do in December just like every headCoach/QB tandem before them in the 21st Century
Achane prevented a TD with that tackle.
It’s called Tua vs winning teams.5 targets for Hill and Waddle: zero catches
How is that even possible?
Maybe garbage time points.Tua going to knock me out of the playoffs like this.
Tua Tags at QB, it's been like this almost every 1st Half of football all season long.5 targets for Hill and Waddle: zero catches
How is that even possible?
