The Texans have a new defensive coordinator with Anthony Weaver, and he intends to be creative in ways to dial up pressure, much like one of his coaching mentors, Rex Ryan.

The Texans still have reliable pass rushers in defensive end J.J. Watt and outside linebacker Whitney Mercilus. The fascinating part will be to see how Weaver gets players such as outside linebacker Jacob Martin and defensive end Charles Omenihu involved.
