This offseason, the Texans add two players to the front seven on the strongside in Cushing and Smith. The Texans gave up a 122 ypg and 4.5 per carry.
Is Cushing and Smith enough to get the Texans to being a top ten run defense team (4.0 ypc or less and 100 ypg or less)?

if you factor in the improved coaching staff, maybe! I certainly think the LB position will be an asset for us, especially given the great depth we have there now. I think the real question for the run defense is how the DTs play. Hopefully Bush and Kollar improve their play a great deal.
