I am not knocking Houston he is a fine player but Mack is more versatile... DE or LB
Also remember that Houston had the luxury of playing with a much better defensive line as opposed to Mack..

He will do much better this year with the additions to the line

Houston has lined up on the interior of the line on passing downs. I've seen it more than a few times, actually.

Houston is clearly the superior player. Mack is a beast, though.

Count last year, Freighters the year before, Slowmo in a Donco 1st round playoff raping before that.... Who wants to lose a record bet this year?

I think this is the year the Raiders return back to respectability. It's been so long since that's happened that we all take it for granted that they'll be bad. We're better, but they are rising. I'm hoping they end better than Denver. :D
