Houston is lining up on the LOS almost all the time now and it's paying dividends. He has the power to hold up against the run and the ability to rush the power. Sutton gets what he wants a pass rush that doesn't require him to blitz a bunch of guys and screw up his coverage.
Houston used to spend about 90% of his snaps lined up back in space like a traditional linebacker. Now he is playing more like a smaller DE that occasionally drops back into coverage for a zone blitz or something. I think having Houston and Ford on either end helps Chris Jones get to the QB as well. I just wish that Jones was better against the run. Sutton can't keep Jones inside without significant help against the run. Nnadi and/or Williams.
