I have to hear about the Texans from one of my friends who's a Houston nut...so from my perspective:

If you just look at the players they signed, I think they fit together quite well as a unit. Demeco, Joseph and Cushing are great defensive players along with the extremely underrated Troy Nolan and Danieal Manning. Watt was a great draft pick also.

3-4 scheme works better than a 4-3 in my opinion against the attacking style offenses (for what it's worth :) ). They've built secondary & line depth while amassing some great LB talent.

We need to draft the BDPA this coming draft and my only personal exception would be if Blackmon falls into our laps

I would love to have a 3-4 defense again, but afraid of how Charles Johnson, Greg Hardy, Jon Beason, and James Anderson will transition.

I think Hardy (In particular), Beason, & Norwood would benefit a lot but am open to hearing why not.

I agree with JA & CJ though

Texans were much like the 9ers, a lot of veteran talent. Got a break this year with the demise of the Colts. They are taking advantage, but not like they've totally sucked in recent history though. About .500 over the last 4 years.

The Texans, like the Packers are proof however you can switch to a 3-4 defense and enjoy instant success.

Defense in general is predicated on great linebackers. Most defenses struggle without goods ones. In McDermott's scheme they make or break the defense. If we had Beason and Davis starting we would be much better. As it is, we need to draft one or two great ones next year and honeslty this defense will get better in a hurry with Beason back and a FA beast at Sam while we develop the future.

That's for sure

Bradley and Co. in Philly are a perfect example of a less than stellar LB crew in a McD run defense

One caveat: When switching to a 3-4, the Packers and the Texans hired two of the best to ever call a 3-4 in Capers and Wade Phillips. Knowing how to call a 3-4 is very important.

      Panthers HC Dave Canales hints at adding more weapons for QB Bryce Young

      By strato · Posted

      I am trying to remember when I EVER said reach for need. My thing if someone falls you jump, if you can trade back a few slots and get help at the right value and pick up some ammo to move up from 51 which I think is outside the money zone, then you do that.   Take a WR later. Plenty of capable WRs have come from the 3rd round. Though this year I would go for C there if there was a reasonable choice. Take a TE if you must. I see more reason to take WR than TE. I think you give guys drafted two years ago and last year a chance to develop before cancelling them.    I think it is kind of unrealistic to throw everything all in on offense in hopes of going deep in the playoffs after an 8-10 year, even if it did have some nice bright spots in it.    And outside of this argument but relevant to it, I am bothered by Canales and Morgan and their apparent posture that we have arrived and are now in the big boy club. I don’t know where that comes from. They are out there talking like they are winners at 8-10. Backing into the playoffs in a real convoluted tie breaker scenario. They had some good games, yes. But the big feather n the cap, the LA Rams matchups, did you see what the Rams did? They didn’t fire the coaches but they fired their defensive backs. Bryce beat them yes, and it was pretty, but it was kind of like the Bucs and Mike Evans picking on our decimated secondary in 2022. Someone (Wilks) went down for allowing that to happen and they went down in LA too.  Wr aren’t as good as a whole lot of homers think we are. Shore up the trenches.    I think too many fans buy into it because they are so starved for anything that looks like a winner.

      2025 Draft Re-Grades (Or, One Idiot Doubles Down)

      By Raskle · Posted

      How exactly does one win OROY "by default"? Wouldn't winning the award mean that of the two, McMillon stayed strong the entire year while the other guy didn't and fizzled out? That's like saying Secretariat only won by default because the other horse stopped moving midway through the race. Absolutely zero logic in that statement, which makes me very glad that I've never really paid much attention to Walterfoozball.

      Who was the better HC - Rivera or McDermott?

      By Basbear · Posted

      I agree, teams in the past have fired the HC in order to retain a coach on staff...hell it happened to Mcderp this year, rams in the past and Im missing another.  The fall off for the Panthers team defense was huge once Mcderp leftd and Ron could not fix it even when he named himself DC.
