I Wonder if the Bye Week Gave Texans Chance to Add Some Wrinkles

What has been largely overlooked about this week's opponent is that they've had two weeks to prepare for the Cowboys. If they studied games 1 and 4 they may feel they have appropriate schemes drawn to thwart the Cowboy air attack once again, I don't think they will, but if Houston was ever going to give Dallas problems then coming out of the bye week and a heartbreaking Cowboy defeat is probably just the appropriate time to attempt an upset.

I expect lots of cover 2 and zone blitzing. I expect trick plays a plenty, flea flickers, reverses, gadget passes and on-side kicks. Anything to give an early tempo and scoreboard edge to the visiting underdogs.

if we kick-off to open the game, we should onside kick and give the players pickle juice to prevent cramps. That usually works.

That my friend is a once in a decade opportunity nad won't be repeated for sometime, look what happened to the eagles when they audaciously tried it a second time three years later.

I know. It's getting late, I'm a bit drunk and that was the first wrinkle that came to mind. :D
