    I don't have a problem with Derek Barnett, but isn't he more of an edge? Calais Campbell is significantly larger and can play DT in a 4-3.

    He's strictly an edge, you're right.

    I'm really digging all the moves by the Texans this offseason. It's nice not to be a joke of a franchise anymore. Hopefully we will continue to be well-run and this continues a deep run of excellence perhaps even AKA the Houston Astros :). Maybe not as many Super Bowls, but I don't know, anything could happen. Would be pretty sweet to do something the Oilers never did in Houston.

    Yeah, I'm looking to add to the interior with Campbell. But they should resign Barnett as well.

    Yes, he is an edge, while Calais Campbell has the versatility to play either DE or DT. Given the current roster construction, I think Autry is already slated to play the role of a DT on pass rushing downs and a possible rotational piece at DE. I think this team might have a bigger need of a rotational DE than another hybrid DE/DT.

    Glad the real AD got his ring to put a stamp on his career.. Him and Warren Sapp the 2 best to ever line up at DT ..
