Will the 2012 Houston Texans Defense be One of Best in Recent NFL History?

Found January 24, 2012 on Toro Times:
TEAMS: Houston Texans,  Chicago Bears,  Baltimore Ravens,  New York Giants

What do the 1985 Chicago Bears, 1990 New York Giants, and 2000 Baltimore Ravens all have in common? They were all ranked in the top 10 defenses of NFL history. The allowed few yards, and even fewer points, while racking up the sacks. So, exactly how good were these teams? Let us take a look… 1985 Chicago Bears The Chicago Bears of 1985 had some fearsome leaders on their roles. DE Richard Dent and LB Otis Wilson were two of the team’s leaders combining for a total of 27.5 sacks, five interceptions, and four fumble recoveries. This was also the team of legendary player Mike Singletary. Altogether during the regular season this defensive unit allowed only 198 total points, 258.4 yards/game, and 4.4 yards/play.  At the conclusion of the ’85 season this Bears defensive unit had held opponents to 198 points, 258.4 yards/game, and 4.4 yards/play.

Via Football Insiders  |  January 23, 2012
Should the Texans Resign Mario Williams?  The answer to this question depends on how much Williams will want and for how long.  If Williams wants top dollar, the Texans would be better off letting Williams walk and using the money to fill other key needs on the roster.

Texans Fans Jump Ship: What Did You Expect?

Via Unathletic  |  January 24, 2012
Two issues I might spaz out on here: (1) This is why no one takes you seriously Houston Texans fans. Yeah, your team lost, but I don’t think any team in the NFL is on an upward slope like the Texans.
