The Defense, besides switching to the 3-4 "looks different." They seem to to be playing fast. It looks like the defense is having fun, they are flying around and making plays. The attitude is also different.

After sitting through so much bad football at Reliant, its our time to win.

I believe.

If anybody cares to recall, I said 10-6 way back when the CBA got approved.

Wade said it didn't take that long to teach his version of the 3-4. That seems to be the case so far. What is different is the defensive guys are really buying into it, and that's what I think has made the difference.

The offense has been taking full advantage of what the defense is giving them. Now if KUbes will just have them do some more reps on the special teams, we should be able to contend with anyone in the league.

Houston Texans defense is ranked second in the league atm! I know, I know preseason et al, but you know the koolaid's good when the king of haterade is onboard.

That is one of he biggest differences in the defense this season. That and all of them seem to be making plays, not waiting on Mario or Cushing to make a play.

The DL seems to be saying to each other meet me at the QB.

BTW that is what the '85 Bears defense said in the huddle, they truly wanted to beat the guy next to them to the QB. Now I'm not declaring this team to be that good, but the are finally playing with that take the ball make something happen type attitude. And I like it so much better than Read n React.

There are still some serious problems in the secondary but the front seven, mainly the addition of Barwin and Watt from what I can tell, seems totally rejuvenated. Good thing, too, because Kareem still can't cover anyone. If Watt bats down enough passes maybe we'll eventually forget how poor the coverage is.

Yep, I guessed right, it was less than 24 hours for Chuck to come in and screw up the kool-aid.....

Biggest change I see .... they are all moving on the snap of the ball trying to force the offenses hand rather than waiting and trying to see what the offense might be doing. Big difference IMO.

They seem to even be playing better in the secondary. They will be showing us its better this year. The whole defense is playing with better teamwork.
