I have to say that barrett's got it right here, almost down to the syllable. If the Texans effectively abandoned the two-back set and began to run the ball out of a spread formation (in the gun or under center) opposing DCs would have nightmares. Now, in a two-back set the Texans will either run the ball (we all know how that goes) or bootleg. I like Schaub more than most but he is poor to terrible throwing on the run. He is not a guy who can zip the ball all over the field running to his left. Hell, he can't zip the ball anywhere, any time.
With the defense's steady improvement a little self-scouting on the offense could lead to a pretty formidable team, or at the very least a respectable one.
