2. Can Phillips rescue defense?
The Texans' first significant move of the offseason was to remedy that suspect defense. The hiring of Wade Phillips means one thing for sure, another thing likely to come, and one big fat maybe:
» For Certain: Texans will move to a 3-4.
» Likely: A better pass rush.
» Big hope: Compile a playoff-caliber defense.
Phillips has the résumé as a defensive coordinator in the NFL, there's no question about that. But, he spearheaded a Cowboys defense that got roasted for 29 points per game before he was fired.
Before you freak out Texans fandom, Phillips had a lot on his plate as head coach and defensive coordinator. The Texans should be better, unless the game has truly passed Phillips by. But considering the Cowboys gave up the second-fewest points in the league under Phillips in 2009, that's doubtful.
