If Franklin was partly responsible for implementing this scheme, it does reflect poorly on his ability to scheme to his players' strengths.

If you look back to Okoye's pre-draft evalualions, they all said that he was terrific at shooting the gap, but only had average to below average speed and strength. That being the case, I can't help but wonder why the Texans drafted him if they weren't planning to use him as a penetrater.
Another question I have is who was mainly responsible for the overall scheme of the defense? The idea of playing read and react. The Idea of having two small tackles but not using them to penetrate. The idea of having smallish LB's to go along with small DT's. The idea of not moving corners from side to side. The idea of not playing more press coverage. Our whole defense seemed passive most of the time. I wonder who was most responsible for that?
