With no pass rush the young guys are exposed. As i have said in the past they young guys should improve. The guys in the middle need a new plan to get to the QB.
As much as I hate to say it, if Bush and company can not turn the defense around, they need to be replaced. And a nice young aggressive defensive mind needs to be brought in. Someone like Dom Capers.  |
I don't think it was necessarily unrealistic of the Texans' coaching staff to expect they could get enough pressure off of the edge from Mario and Barwin along with A.Smith on the inside in nickel situations to provide enough cover to offset the youth and inexperience of their corners they decided to go with in 2010, but alas injuries happen. It's just that they cut it too close and really had nom plan B when Connor went down. next year one way or the other we get ATLEAST one more pass-rushing prospect.
About your Capers reference ? Dunno if you're totally jesting or are you also promoting the idea of a 3-4 conversion ?
