Vinnie Iyer on the Texans

I agree with you on that one. Not only is a sack often a drive killer, but if a team has a lot of sacks it probably has a lot of pressures too. And pressures can be drive killers too because if a QB is hurrying his throw he will more often either make a bad throw or a bad decision. Lots of interceptions are caused by pressures.

I think Weaver hurt our defense a lot last year. Frankly I think the very best thing about Mario is that he seems to be able to get sacks from the STRONGSIDE as well or better than he can from the weakside. As soon as the Texans can get Weaver replaced with a top notch pass rusher, they can put the new guy at weakside and Mario at strongside. I expect The Texans to go for a top notch pass rushing DE in the draft next year. If Okoye develops into the pass rushing phenom everyone is hoping he will be, the Texans could have a very salty pass rush.
