Texans make Roster moves including releasing Okam

This is just a thought, but it seems like the Texans are trying to copy a page out of the Giants and Eagles play book. With the Texans best blitzing LB in Cushing moving to the middle spot as well as the signing of smaller, gap-penetrating DTs, I am expecting to see a lot more blitzing through the A gap (between the guard and center).

Typically most of the Texans' blitzing has come from the edges allowing a little half-step more time for the QB--even when it is successful. The nice thing about the center blitz is that it's fairly easy to show and pull back without affecting the scheme. When the fake works it can force a mis-alignment that your gap penetrating DTs can get through, or it makes doubling the edge (aka. Mario Williams) much more difficult.
