The new Texans regime tried to make Charles Omenihu a defensive end. He’s an abysmal run defender, on both the interior and the exterior. At his best he’s been an interior rusher who can long arm and bull rush, and use his length to affect offensive guards in pass protection. His interior rip move was a plus pass rush move.
This year the Texans ignored his previous success. They wanted Demarcus Walker, Jaleel Johnson, Ross Blacklock, Vincent Taylor, and Maliek Collins to play on the interior.
