Zone blocking scheme outdated?

[Arky]

I've seen a lot of talk lately on the messageboards and blogs about the Texans ZBS vs. big, physical defenses - how the 3-4 defenses always give the smaller/lighter/athletic offensive lineman fits. About how the ZBS is an outdated system..... but I'm just not buying into it.

IMO, it is still personnel. You gotta have the right guys. I don't think by and large that most people have a problem with (our) the two tackles - Winston and Brown. It's those guys in between them where you see all the stones being cast. I believe Pitts and Myers are coming off of injuries and perhaps they both aren't 100% and 100% in "football shape". I look for both of them to be better this week against the Titans. But, eventually, I think we are gonna need and upgrade of the center and two guards. IMO, a competent smaller/quicker/athletic lineman should be able to deal with the bigger guy in front of him. We may already have one of the upgrades on the roster in Caldwell. And who says they have to be "smaller"? Can't you get a quicker/athletic guy in the medium or even large variety?
