Part 6/8:
In this matchup, the key offensive focuses will be:
Slowing Down the Texans' Pass Rush: The Dolphins cannot afford to allow the pressures and sacks that plagued them in previous games.
Utilizing Tight Ends: Dolphins' tight end Jonu Smith could exploit weaknesses within the Texans’ defense, which struggles to contain proficient tight ends.
Creative Play Calling: Given the struggles in running the ball, McDaniel may need to iterate creative plays to enhance offensive success.
On the defensive side, the Dolphins will need to capitalize on the Texan’s vulnerability in their offensive line, particularly against the Pass.
