Official Packers at Texans Game Day Thread

When facing a team with a strong running game, I concur. Against a strong passing team however, I think Raji gives you more pressure up the middle.

His rookie year he played great as a DE with Picket at the NT spot...why did they change?

Despite my excitement last night, there is at least on note of caution. Pickett and the run D looked very good (also remember 47 yards of their run game was with backups in garbage time) but the Texans own field cost them at least three runs (maybe more) when the RB simply went down in a heap after either being just grazed or not touched. And that seemed to be a result of the 12th defender, the Reliant Stadium turf. You would think the home team would know how to deal with it better.

Raji was OK as a DE but he largely filled in for pass rush his rookie year. I think he is much more natural inside and his body type matches that.

I would simply prefer that, as joe mentioned, they mix and match them some more, perhaps that Eagle scheme where Pickett is the nose and Raji is 3 tech, to free Raji even more and let Pickett do some of the shock absorbing.

Yup, wasn't that John Abraham?

I think someone did it this season as well.

I believe it was Jared Allen, not 100% sure though.

IIRC, Henry Melton did it during GB vs. Chicago....
