The team released Aaron Glenn (getting nothing in return - he's still in the league by the way) at the end of 2004. That paired with the insane Phillip Buchanon trade was clearly the beginning of the end for a very young franchise. Not even the heroic selection of Mario Williams could possibly save a defense so wounded by perverse personnel decisions.
I would argue that the fiasco that was David Carr is considerably less relevant to the team's retarded development than the idiotic personnel moves that were made on the defensive side of the ball.

I dunno why Capers & Fangio (I think that was his D cooardinator?) had so much trouble coming up with even one really good OLB to rush from the edge ? Obviously the Babin pick was another mistake. They were supposed to be the 3-4 gurus, right ? But they never could find that one really good pass-rusher, that tweener from the college ranks who made it big as a 3-4 OLB. But a second & third-rounder for P-Burnt. WOW !

If you remember what Capers did in Carolina you can see it was similar in Houston. Built a veteran defense designed to be competitive for about two years and the rest is history.
The same mistake was made though of replacing those very capable veterans. So you have to change certain elements of the formula otherwise you can only progress so far. If you keep putting too much syrup on your pancakes you can only eat so much, right? So next time what should you do?
