In other words Cushing had a career in Houston that was 50% longer than DeMeco's Texans career while the 'Bama backer compiled greater tackle totals. Hell if DeMeco would have been 9 years in Houston he would maybe have doubled up Cushing.
That was a silly nomination of Boselli, you should have gone with Ed Reed, even sillier because look at all of the interception stats you could have used.

I agree Ed Reed would have been the better choice.

I loved Demeco Ryans and think he's the 2nd best LB in Texans history. I think if the Texans hadn't switched to a 34 he might be the best LB in Texans history.

And I think he was the Texans best LB not to include the edge/OLBs in the 3-4 like Jadeveon Clowney which is where he plays when he' not a 4-3 or 3-4 DE.

Wasn't Capers a huge 3-4 coach and it wasn't until he got sacked that the defense switched to a 4-3? So when did we return to the 3-4? Wasn't it long after Ryans was traded?

It was when Wade Phillips showed up that we changed back to 3-4 and started that weird experiment with Mario.
