Houston Defense

It is no secret that, despite my love for the Chicago Bears,  I am also a Houston Texans fan. I can not, unlike the Bears, figure out where my love for the Texans started, but they are one of my teams.

But, unlike the Bears, the Texans defense is only known by one name: Watt. Don't get me wrong. JJ Watt is one of the greatest defensive ends in the game now and he will be in the Hall of Fame.

But, he is the only one that seems to be the only one on the D that other teams worry about, though they should also fear Brian Cushing,  but they don't.

The issue is that when the offense is able to block JJ,  there's no one else stepping up, save Cushing.

JJ Watt is the most unblockable DE to play the game since Richard Dent.  But who steps up? Just Cushing and he steps up hard.

However,  the Texans can not have just two on defense. The others are good, but not good enough.

In 1985, when the Chicago Bears were their most dominant, when Dent was blocked, Hampton,  McMichael, Perry, Marshall, and Wilson weren't.  If an offense managed to block the line, who blocked Singletary,  Richardson,  Duerson, Fencik, or Fischer?

The Texans need to watch videos on the '85 Bears.

JJ Watt and Brian Cushing are great players, but they cannot be the only players on the Texans defense reaking havoc on offenses.
