Pretty much.

There was an earlier comment about how the Texans play like a back-up QB, very well with no pressure on them but awful when they're in the spotlight, and no surprise since Kubiak was a back-up QB.

With Wade around, at least Kubiak can honestly say he's no longer the worst coach on the team.

Do you mean Kubiak not getting fired? Because Phillips is the DC.

I think they have the personnel to be able to pull it off. Williams is good enough to still play DE, Okoye can be their DT. Cushing and Barwin on the outside would look really good.

Another Phillips from the family tree coaching on a team in Houston for the second time?

WHAT A "BUM"MER!

3-4? With the way Houston defends the pass they better make that a 1-10

I don't believe that they have another player to be an effective ILB unless they move Cushing there..

The Bills shifted to a 4-3 during the year and may not switch back. The number of teams running the 3-4 could still go down even with Phillips going to Houston to run it.

I'm going to disagree.. With the chance of the CBA not being done in time (limiting the time with player), and the 49'ers, Dolphins, Cowboy and Brown's GM all staying the same, I'm not seeing it happen this year..
