I think CP peoples are wishing/hoping/dreaming that the return of Houston (and Berry, IF he ever returns) hold great things in store for our defense. Well, after watching Houston lumber around out there earlier this season, I just don't see him as a savior. Is he better than Speaks? Yeah, probably, but I do like Speaks' desire and hustle....plus, he is an advancing player, not a regressing one like Houston.
I just don't see Houston having much speed anymore. He looks more like a DE to me.....and a relatively slow one at that. Then, add in the fact that he manages to be hurt a lot, and...well, I'd rather take my lumps with Speaks. I'm done with Houston, his massive salary and meager production.
Bottom line: This defense isn't going to see a massive improvement with Houston and/or Berry back in there. Yeah, I said it. Flame away....
