That team had a better defensive front , better LBers , better Secondary , better at TE and the entire OL , RB and If anything WR is a push.
That team was a Matt Schaub injury away from a Superbowl - this scrub team isn't even close with Jesus In Cleats at QB.
Lol, this scrub team put up a better record than that 2011 team did last year & didn't even have all of the pieces it has now.
Front 7 -
DE Antonio Smith - For all his ninja antics that everyone loved, he wasn't a special player...Scarlett/Omenihu makes about as many plays as he did a game now & they split time.
DE J.J. Watt - He wasn't what he is now back then...He didn't even come on until late in the season.
NT Shaun Cody - Reader is better than Cody imo
LB Connor Barwin - Mercy is about what Conner was
LB Brian Cushing - Mckinney is about what Cushing was
LB Brooks Reed - He was a rook...& he wasn't anything special then or after.
LB DeMeco Ryans - Zach Cunningham is about what Ryans was at that point...dude got traded the next year
