Why mess with the D when we need an O???

The difference between Wand and McKinney is rather stark.

Wand, playing one season at LT, is expected to only get better as he gets experience, and then you have highly paid Steve "we have one of the top 10 lines in the league" McKinney with years of experience, and is only going to get worse as his arrogance grows?

Sorry. To me, it's a no brainer.

Definitely a good point. But my concern isn't who's better based on how long they've been doing it...it's more about which one actually hurts Houston more by being subpar. Is it more important right now to find a better center or a better LT? Even though I think there's not much out there in the way of "better" available LTs, I do think Wand is the bigger liability.

Greater minds than mine are at work here, I'm sure...but I have to ask: WHY are the Texans worrying about the defense when we need SO MUCH help on offense? The left side of the line is...weak...inconsistent... Surely addressing this issue is more important than anything? Can someone please explain this to me? I'm getting aggravated, here!

defense wins games. thats why baltimore won the super bowl a few years ago...and tampa bay. if our defense is better, then our offense will definitely score more points bc of the extra time they will have per game. however, i do think we need to address the pass protection desperately. if carr can get the time, then we will be a probowler. our offense was pretty good last yr considering how the defense was on the field for a long time each game.

The Pats are focused on both sides of the ball and that is why they are
a dynasty---

Total Offense/NFL-- 7th
Scoring Offense/NFL-- 4th

I don't think these results are average!

Total Defense/NFL-- 9th
Scoring Defense/NFL-- 2nd

Those were the Pats stats last year look at their first SB and you'll see what I mean.

See what you mean? They had a newbie starting QB in that 1st winning SB
but who CARES??? They not only got to the big game, they won it---now,
they've won 3 out of the last 4--- believe me, the Pats win 'anyway they
can.' BB is a defensive minded coach who made the transisition from DC to
HC and his teams are coached to win, regardless of what side of the ball
it is or who the players are-- his thinking and success with it are going to
change the minds of many coaches, only leaving behind the 'old school'
coaches who still believe 'we can't do this or that because we don't have
this or that.' :woot

It seems to me that your post suggest that its Dom Capers is who has the problems not the O or the D.
