Thing with Houston is he isn't just a scrub who came out of nowhere. The guy actually has an 8 sack season on his resume. So I think there is more than just "beating up backups in preseason" to the guy. He had some setbacks in his career and is still young.
You literally can’t go wrong keeping good pass rushers. In a pinch, many of them can also play off-ball, but the reverse is not true.
Our crippling problem is in the middle where we have a highly overpaid and overrated half of one good player at one spot and a fucking waste of space and resources at the other.
We could have had a really good defense had we had leadership that fucking understood basic physics. I expect for us to be ass-raped (again) by balanced offenses in the biggest games. We have literally no way to stop a great running game without guessing and run blitzing.
Pass rushers are great, but become almost meaningless if you can’t stop a rushing attack. At that point you’re left guessing and then you’re on roller skates.
Jerry Jones claims that the Green Bay playoff loss was the worst in his memory, but then does nothing to improve a defensive front that allowed six scoring drives all but uncontested. I am disgusted at where we are two years later
