Those zone blocking teams take time to gameplan against, which I'm sure we didn't do.

One thing to remember also we struggle against the 3-4...and Houston is way better this year on D...i saw it coming with Watt...the dude is an animal.

...Since '06 man. And I've stated it before, Payton clearly has problems playing the 3-4 defense.

Look I know it's preseason and on top of that, it's a shortened season, but the O line looks waaay more discombobulated than the d line.

Yeah and remember in 09.. Wade ran that Dallas D and had our number..but i want to give props to Houston...they look to be a force and should win that division...

I hope we practice against our 3-4 formations quite a bit..because i dont want a repeat on Sept 25..Im going to that one ...

They could've won it last year. Defense was their achilles...not any more. The addition of Watt and the switch to 3-4, 5-2, whatever they run - it's all designed to stop Payton Manning. Probably the reason Houston went "all out" against Brees.
