DeMeco Ryans - Out for Season

[TheMatrix31]

Killer. Absolutely killer.

[sinnister]

Ouch. I am scared to see the defense now.

Yeah, loosing Demeco really hurts. I am thinking Texans perhaps should do something they have rarely done before, make a few mid season trades to help the defense, perhaps using players and draft picks from future years. A dominant DL, LB, CB with experience is needed if we are going to playoffs this year.

While I am a HUGE Demeco fan, to say that this is a killer to our D.......uh.......really?

Our D sucks, and hasn't shown any signs or giving us any reason to believe that they will turn it around.

We're down to three healthy LBs as I understand it so expect some tryouts at Reliant Park on Monday.

We could do something exotic and switch to a 4-2-5 for next week with Pollard as a sort-of monster back. Not that our coaching staff would ever be that creative but it would sure confuse the opponent for at least a half and maybe having 5 DBs will make us better in coverage,

So we're supposed to be okay with having the best player of our already crappy D being out for the rest of the year?

Hm.

Nope, not OK, just stating the obvious really. We are, or very near, dead last in the league in Defense. Can't get much worse than that.

If our O is clicking, we will win some shootouts, if its not, we will get rolled. That will pretty much be our season from here on out. There was little hope for the D with, or without Demeco.

Hope Demeco recovers quickly, and is ready for OTA's next year.

Sadly IIRC, most players that have this injury loose a step. Demeco does not have a step to give and the lose may make him a 2 down LB from here on out.

Hope I'm wrong on this.
