The thought that resigning Payne, Deloach and signing L. Sanders, Greenwood and whoever else will improve our playmaking on defense is just plain insane. We are taking a chance that Payne can regain his former player status, which is probably not a bad risk. Sanders and Greenwood are "we had to do something" signings at best. Greenwood I have to believe will help our coverage, but I dont think anyone watched game tape on him and saw how sub-par TE used him, but he has to be better than anyone we have other than Peek, who should be the cornerstone of our LB crew. Yeah he is uncontrolled madness, but so was Junior Seau can anyone say great LB. I am not sold on Sharper just being ditched for nothing, he has been the consumate pro and if I am not mistaken he has led or been in the top 10 in tackles in the league since he arrived in Houston. Sharper is a playmaker on the downside of his career, we should be smart and package him in a deal during the draft to grab another playmaking linebacker. Babin was a reach and everyone knows it, we could have gotten him in the second round and filled depth, but hindsight is 20/20. Babin will be functional at best but a T. Suggs type OLB he is not. Wong should easily be moved inside, but he is costing us way to much money, but he is our best returning LB other than Peek (by the way should be a starter next season). Our secondary is nice and was near the top in interceptions, we need a eventual replacement to Glenn who only has 2 more seasons in him at most and Coleman is nice. This Earl kid the jury is still out on him we will see this year when he get tons of PT. Faggins is a prototype nickel and dime set corner so it is good we locked him down. Ahh the D-Line is actually not bad other than Walker, who should be the one we are desperately trying to ship off. He is terrible and when is he not injured now. Robaire is solid, Payne hopefully will return, and in the draft we hopefully find someone to replace Walker. Overall we should be a sleeper playoff pick, but look for us all next year to be making excuses to our friends as to why our beloved TEXANS did not make the playoffs. I will tell you right now it will be because our Defense is timid and C.Palmer will call pathetic games.
