Ghost of Rob Johnson Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 (edited) Per Twitter: HoustonTexans The Houston Texans have hired Wade Phillips as the new defensive coordinator. McClain_on_NFL The Texans will switch to a 3-4. Phillips will use Mario Williams like he used Bruce Smith, who had 65 sacks in 6 seasons under him. *Texans Edited January 5, 2011 by Ghost of Rob Johnson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoSaint Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 super mario might actually be able to fill that role -- how about the rest of their front okoye? cushing? ryans? smith? i know were trying the 3-4, but could be some talent on the market shortly.

Thoner7 Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 didnt they run the 3-4 under capers? I believe D. Ryan was the d rookie of the year in a 3-4. Cushing should be fine also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure he's big enough to play the 5 tech, but I don't think he'll like it. In all probability, he'll line up at RDE and not get nearly the sacks he did in the 43. Antonio Smith probably handles the LDE, but who plays NT is anyone's guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silvermike Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Bruce Smith was a once-in-a-lifetime guy in the 3-4. Anyone who approaches his sack totals didn't play his position. I don't think Mario Williams is going to deliver 65 sacks in 6 seasons from that spot, but he could be a force. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjmac Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 He's got good LBs around him, and help at the other DE spot. Get a solid NT, and he'll be just as scary as Bruce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
