Hoping to create a more effective pass rush, the Texans' defensive line will have a new, slimmer look this season.
The Texans ranked 25th in the league in 2009 with just 30 sacks. The four starting defensive lineman ends Antonio Smith and Mario Williams and tackles Amobi Okoye and Shaun Cody combined for 151/2 of those sacks.
But reporting to organized team activities this week, each of the four starters had shed a significant amount of weight. All told, they lost a whopping 59 pounds. Leading the way was right tackle Amobi Okoye, who lost 32 pounds by conditioning twice a day in Katy with his younger sister during his time off.
