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.
