I think that guy might be the nasty MLB out of USC Rey Maualuga. He lays the wood, and would instantly improve our D. The Spikes kid out of Florida is another LB who fits that mold.

Rey Rey has dropped off my list, yes he would appear to be that guy I am talking about, but after watching close I think he is going to end up a 3-4 inside guy, he plays to out of control for me to hand the MLB position to him.

I do not have enough personal time watching Spikes to address him currently.

And let me say it before NBT asks, James Laurinaitis's had two 15 yd personal fouls that hurt his team in the last game I saw him in, not what I am looking for from my senior leader. Smart and tough is my preference.

.......But I think Laurainitis can work out his problems, whereas Rey Rey's is more fundamental to his nature. Why? I don't know, it just is my gut feeling.

If Diles gets well and continues to impress with SLB play, we will be fine there. DeMeco has tailed off at the MLB position, so I think his best move would be to go to WLB, and draft a rookie kickass MLB.

As for the performance of our defense, I think PK and I see things differently, but that's OK too.

[NBT]

We are of like minds on the attacking type defenses PK. The trouble is ours not only does not attack, but just tries to react, and then takes poor angles, and is constantly out of position. Don't tell me the coaches don't see that on film and go over and over it with the players, or do they even watch film? It sure doesn't seem like it.

i just can't find a reason why smith should still be the DC, and have a damn good reason why he should be fired today. if fired today the defense knows they have to play for the next coach, whoever it is if they look bad in games that don't matter they won't even have a shot at games that might next year.

i get the feeling that either smith isn't going to get fired or smith gets replaced with frank bush who i'm not sold on. he better bring a world of change to the D because that's what it needs and since he's already on staff, why the hell is he holding out this change?

i'm with painekiller mike nolan sounds better to me.

Apparantly everyone in Houston is up in arms over the way the defense has been bungling it's way through these first games. They are about to form a vigilante committee to hang Richard Smith if he is not fired. If the Texans wait till the season ends, all they get is a lower draft pick. Is that what they want?

Yes, as a matter of fact that is what I want, a better pick. Keep Richard Smith !
