Another thing to consider. The Jets offensive line is generally considered to be one of the best in the league. Yet, not just Faneca but their line as a whole gave up more sacks than the Texans' line despite fewer passing attempts. Seems as though you can draw one of two conclusions from this. One, the Texans actually had a better OL than the Jets (at least at pass protecting), or two, some other factors were contributing to the Jets' sack total. I think you would be hardpressed to find anyone in the NFL who would take last year's Texan OL over the Jets OL, so I'm inclined to go with No. 2.
