Scouts Inc: Texans don't Fit 3-4

But keep in mind we don't need that massive NT because Wade dosn't run the traditional 2-gap 3-4 that former Texans HC and Packers DC Dom Capers does. On the other hand it would be great to grab somebody like Clay Matthews - maybe in this Draft, huh ?
I do agree with the Scouts Inc. guy about Mario & Cushing - they are
classis 4-3 players, though both are definitely talented and versitile enough to play in a 3-4. But I think this puts Mario in play so far as being involved in a possible trade, since at 26 he's still very young and lots of 4-3 teams would be interested in maximizing his talents in their defense.

If Bruce Smith could play for most of his career in a 3-4 Defense, then I don't see why Mario could not.

Well I think alot of that was Joey Porter too though. Dude would live in our backfield. It would be nice to get that kind of player on our team. Is Arizona going to let him go?

Porter is old and washed-up. I'd rather us find "The Next" Joey Porter.

I agree with you about Mario. I would trade him in a package if it meant the Texans could move up and take Peterson. Or if they could end up with J.J. Watt,Miller and a 3rd rd pick. It's possible this could happen.

If Mario chooses not to buy into the 3-4.

Dolphins did it with even less talent and they had to sign their NT in free agency. Also, the Bronco's in 2008 went from 4-3 to 3-4 and went from dead last in defense in most statistical categories to at least middle of the road if not better.

More and more I believe the ease of a transition more depends on the quality of the coach. Sure, the availability of players is a factor but Phillips is talking like he's got the majority of the difficult-to-fill positions on this roster right now (I still don't believe the NT is on the roster, but if he thinks Mitchell will work then he's the man).

Dont forget the Jets when Ryan came in.
 
I wonder how the AFC South teams individually faired (W-L) against 3-4 defenses this year?

Colts-?
Jags-?
Texans-?
Titans-?

Anyone have these #'s?

But how many teams really lose simply because they are playing against a defense that runs a 3-4 alignment? I think knowing how many times Manning has lost to a 3-4 defense would be moot if ours is about as good as it was 5 years ago.

I mean how many teams lost to the Capers led Texans because they ran a 3-4?
 
I hear ya, just wondering with all the other stats flying around. At the end of the day the only stat that matters is the Houston Texans W-L record!
