I might be wrong but looks like Okoye is still the youngest guy on Texans, by six months, and second youngest is Cushing.
Looks like Cushing is pretty likely starter at SAM, big, strong, athletic, smart, works hard, keeps learning, and good team player. might be a question on third down, probably not as he learns all of the playbook.
We have DeMeco entrenched in the middle, but have 10 linebackers in camp, perhaps all pretty good. so that puts lots of competition for the WILL position , perhaps flexibility to play multiple defensive sets and contribution on special teams making the difference on how many of the 10 we keep for how long, and of course injuries come into it. I guess in the end Texans will keep between 5 and 7 LB's.
Sounds like Adibi put on 10 pounds of muscle, so up to 240 or so in offseason and looking pretty good, as is Diles, and likely Bently. Tough cuts coming.
And nice to see we have depth finally, hope it turns into a great defense this year.
