Where we stand

[ObsiWan]

I still can't understand Amobi over Willis. Patrick seemed to be about the closest thing you can get to as a sure thing in the draft

I think it goes back to the whole, "we gotta get pressure from just the front four" thing. Amobi looked promising as a DT pass rusher type. Plus DeMeco was entrenched in the middle, Diles looked like he'd do on the outside, and -rightly or wrongly - they were satisfied with Greenwood as the other OLB. Bottom line - at the time - we looked fairly set at LB where DT appeared to be more of a need.

Looking back, we should have gotten Willis and let him usurp Greenwood and picked up a DT on the second day.

Hindsight is always 20/20.

I know where we stand...a team that should never say we "should" beat anyone. We are one of the few weak teams in the league that everyone looks at on the schedule and sees a weak opponent.

I dont mean non-applicable I mean not-acceptable​

Seven years of celler deweller
Seven years of with substandard running attack
Seven years of frustration with QB production/leadership
Seven years of poor run defense
Seven years of no pass rush
Seven years of giving up big plays in secondary
Seven years for the Texans to play Monday Night Football
Seven years of finishing last in the AFC South
Seven years of inability to hold a lead against qualtiy teams

so thats acceptable? the Texans are who we thought they where? beat those they should yet lose to eveyone else

My only problem is that Demeco isnt a great fit in the middle. He gets beat up because of his size. Willis made alot more sense, but we like raw "potential". Demeco outside, with Willis in the middle, gives us one of the best LB group in the NFL. however, if you insist on under sized Lb's, get some run stuffing hogs up front to keep guys off of them.

DeMeco not a great fit in the middle? BS

He's exceptional in the middle of the field except for when he is playing with some injuries. He's been average when injured...but so are most other players.

we are barely better than the worst teams in the league...feel better now? I don't...mainly because I don't cheer on mediocrity with any sort of passion.

I wish we had more players who were such poor fits they not only went to the pro-bowl but started and were "handed the torch" by a future hall of famer at their position.

Where the heck is the size difference between Willis and Demeco? Willis is listed at 240 lbs and Ryans at 250 lbs on their respective team rosters.
