    Did Houston switch to a 3-4?

    If they did I think it would be a mistake Watt would be wasted as a 3-4 DE.

    I'll take Keisel - Hampton - Smith, thank you very much.
    I'll take von Oelhoffen - Hampton - Smith too, for that matter.
    It helps my case that two-thirds of that Houston line has never stepped on an NFL field before.
    And yeah, technically Clowney is going to play OLB, not DE. He'll still probably rush the passer 90% of the time though.

    Houstons D is going to be formidable, on the offensive side there is still big question mark at QB, is Savage the guy and can Schaub hold down the fort until he is ready? Picked up a couple of pieces to help Schaub in the meantime though, very good guard and a TE.

    I believe Schaub is gone Blast. So they have an even bigger ? at QB.

    yep........ schaub is a raider....holding the job until derek carr is ready
    (ironic, how schaub replaced david carr in houston and is now preparing to be eventually replaced himself by david's brother)

    Wow, missed all that. Who the heck is quarterbacking the Texans or are they just going to throw Savage to the wolves?

    Should be a upgrade to prior year front 7! Definitley less pressure on DB to cover for extended periods. Let's go!
