And that’s another thing-the pass rush. Mercilus shows up in the pass rush too infrequent to make much of a difference. The rest of the LB’s are no threat to disrupting the passer.
The Texans better get a consistent pass rush from an unlikely source because they’re not going to get much from the LB’s. The Texans need a new game wrecker because Watt isn’t that guy anymore.
They need to find a LB that can cover. The defense will look alot better if they can find this LB. The 2 I liked in this last draft was Willie Gay (Went to the Chiefs darn) and Daveon Taylor in the 3rd (Eagles) Both are really athletic LB's which is what the Texans LB corps is missing. Maybe this is the yr that Cole will stay healthy and really help the team out.
They're hoping Blaclock can be the gamewrecking force in the middle that will make things easier to get pressure from the edges. I have hopes for Martin being the guy that provides pressure from the edge.
