Huh?

For some reason I was confused...

Khalil Mack
Brandon Graham
Ronald Blair
Danielle Hunter
Joey Bosa
J.J. Watt
T.J. Watt
Jadeveon Clowney
Nick Bosa

I dunno is that a popularity contest or something ?
Maybe we look at PFF only when it serves our arguments.He has a 73 grade which would put him close to the top 10, I think. I don't see the splits, maybe he's worse against the run

I agree that Mercilus should be in the conversation. Look at a comparison to Mack.Why are we not seeing the name of Whitney Mercilus on that list whos sack total is higher than than anyone there ?

Merci is earning his $7.3 m cap and I hope we can extend him reasonable $ (for) a few seasons before he seeks FA.I agree that Mercilus should be in the conversation. Look at a comparison to Mack.
K. Mack - TCKL 15, SOLO 13, TFL 2, SCK 4.5, PD 1, FF 4 , INT 0
W. Mercilus - TCKL 19, SOLO 14, TFL 5, SCK 5.0, PD 1, FF 4 , INT 1

You are correct, Sir.I thought he was a FA next year?
That's what I said although after reading my post I could have written it differently. I hope we can extend him this year before he sees free agency this offseason. I really don't want a long extension but two to three years would be perfect for reasonable $. I don't want to get caught up in a price War in the off-seasonI thought he was a FA next year?
Mercilus is not a pass coverage LB, I think they learned that last year, and hopefully they will allow him to go back to rushing the passer and getting upfield, since that is his strength and what he was drafted to do. Im high on Blackson as a pass rusher from the inside. Curious to see what dynamic Charles Omenihu will bring to that unit since he seems somewhat well regarded as a pass rusher.
Obviously it all begins with the bookends .. Watt enjoyed a renaissance last year and it was in no small part to the amount of attention JD Clowney draws on the other side. If some of the younger guys can create more havoc or give the positional group depth so that they can stay fresh throughout the games then it would probably propel the unit near the top of the league. If its just going to be the JD & JJ show it will have those guys sucking air with their hands on the knees again this year, didnt like that at all from last season, need them fresh for the 4th!
I think Texans are top 3 against the rush also in most published reports, should be a good year again for that unit - Crennel keeps doing a great job.
Anyone hear think Houston be better as a 4_3 d
We need another pass rusher bad. I would even consider trading for one if we can find a partner.
Bro, give up on Clowney already. I think we got hosed in the trade, but Clowney was not an all-world pass rusher. We can do betterI wonder what Seattle would ask for clowney
Man that's a problem@riversmccown: Texans quarterback hits over the last three weeks:
