thats 10 out of 11 starters on defense. The Texans D has plenty of talent. D-Rob is out, but Hutchins is not that bad. Upgrade at SS, get a better D-coordinator, and the Texans should easily have a top 10 defense.

I would say you're a little (or a lot) on the optimistic side:

Awesome = D-Rob
Good = Demeco, Mario
Decent = Travis, Bennett, maybe Amobi
and the others........

I think you’re right to a degree, TTP. I noticed it a bit when making my mid-season grades. He just isn’t as much of a factor in the run game as he was last year. It may be because the DTs aren’t giving him enough protection from the O-line to shoot the gaps. A lot of his tackles are coming 5 yards downfield instead of at the LOS. One thing that was somewhat apparent last year was that he could get swallowed up by o-linemen. DeMeco is still doing enough in other areas – I think his coverage has improved – and I'm unsure to what extent the schemes and DT's are responsible, for me to hold off on saying he’s regressed.
