| |  | HOUSTON: Texans head coach Bill O'Brien surprised a lot of people with his canning of offensive line coach Paul Dunn after last season'ex-Jets assistant Mike Devlin will oversee the unit this year. He has run a variety of schemes up front in the past, but he'll surely stick primarily to a zone blocking scheme. Arian Foster won't be back until after the bye week after tearing his groin before the season. He'll be relied on heavily upon his return. Brian Hoyer, who was named the starter, is very familiar with O'Brien's system from his time in New England. It's a system that uses a lot of spread concepts, stacks and bunches to open things up. Although Hopkins does his best work on the sideline, he'll be asked to work a greater variety of routes in a feature role this year. Cecil Shorts will likely open the year as the complementary possession receiver, with rookie Jaelen Strong eventually supplanting him. The Texans tied for third in the NFL last season with 20 interceptions and tied for first with five defensive touchdowns. DE J.J. Watt anchors a group that should be better in 2015, provided that OLB Jadeveon Clowney, the 2014 draft's top overall pick, is healthy after undergoing knee surgery. | | NEW ORLEANS: Everything the Saints have done from a personnel standpoint has suggested a heavier reliance on the running game in 2015. New Orleans was the fifth-most pass-happy team in the NFL last year, but they invested a first-round pick in run-blocking tackle Andrus Peat, re-signed Mark Ingram and brought in free agent C.J. Spiller. Their approach incorporates a number of different schemes and concepts, but they have skewed more toward zone blocking heavy on inside zone runs. Mark Ingram is the workhorse, with C.J. Spiller providing a change-of-pace option and likely taking the
bulk of the passing-down reps. The Saints will continue to employ their spread passing attack, even without tight end Jimmy Graham. They spent last summer designing plays for Brandin Cooks'he figures to be the closest thing to Drew Brees' No. 1 target, used on a variety of deeper routes and receiver screens. Marques Colston will continue to work the perimeter. The Saints' impressive 2013 season was quickly forgotten, as New Orleans was horrible defensively in 2014. Defensive coordinator Rob Ryan will likely have rookie Stephone Anthony take over at MLB for the departed Curtis Lofton. FS Jairus Byrd could make a difference after missing 12 games last year. |
