    Just like with the offense I’m excited to see a different approach. That being said you have to think Cam cannot possibly keep up his play and TJ is a shell of himself. Middle of the pack is probably accurate.

    I expect them not to be owned in the middle of the field this season and not to give up as many 30+ point games. And I'm hoping the offense helps them keep up that end of the deal by possessing the ball more and scoring more.

    OH, and I expect them to stop letting the other team score IMMEDIATELY following Renegade at home. FFS!

    Interesting. I want to see personnel first.

    Ever since TJ Watt signed that fat contract he has been very disappointing by disappearing. We all know he is not willing to change his approach at all from just pressuring from the left side. I really wanted to see him bounce along the line and confuse the opposing offense more but he seems to be content with being double teamed with a first block and then a chip to give the QB enough time to release the ball. Defense goes as he does. Middle of the pack.
