Texans linebacker DeMeco Ryans doesn't believe the lockout is going to hurt the team has they attempt to learn a new defensive system. Houston hired defensive coordinator Wade Phillips and he is implementing a 3-4 scheme. Ryans told the Houston Chronicle the attention given to the transition in general and Mario Williams' move from defensive end to outside linebacker in particular, has been overblown. "I know a lot of people are concerned about it, like moving Mario, but the biggest change for most of us is learning the different terminology," Ryans said. "It's not a big difference for us inside guys at all. "I'm most excited because this defense gives us so much more flexibility. It's easier to disguise our coverages and when we're coming and not coming (after the quarterback)."
