    Excellent! I was worried that the 5-1 finish would keep them from cleaning house on the defensive front. I guess that wasn't the case....

    So, why isn't Ray Rhodes just promoted to D-coordinator?

    I feel bad for the other two getting canned. Not so for Dickey Smith.

    my understanding is Rhodes has health concerns that keep him from seeking that position.

    Great move. There a lot of good defensive coaches out on the market right now like Rob Marinelli, Romeo Carnell, Eric Mangini, Mike Nolan, and Gregg Williams. I would be happy with any of them. I just hope he doesn't get anybody from Denver because their defense is worse than the Texans. Carnell, Mangini, and Nolan run 3-4 defenses so I don't if they would be a fit. I wouldn't mind changing to a 3-4 defense. Mario Williams could play on any defense as a end because of size, power, and speed. Amobi Okoye could play other end spot. Diles and Ryans could be your inside backers. You would need to find a nose guard and two pass rushers on the outside though. I am just happy they got rid of Richard Smith.

    I think he is calling up Albert Haynesworth trying to convince him he should drop back into coverage instead of rushing the QB.

    I'm a fan of Marinelli.

    Don't know a lot about Greg Williams other than his results.

    This is great news.

    Looks like the Texans are committed to truly becoming a great team. The one thing holding this team back was the defense, and they're going all out to fix that problem.
