The Texans’ terrific inside and outside zone running game is keyed by the ability of standout center Chris Myers to control the middle of the line and to pick off linebackers on the second level. If the Patriots can keep Myers occupied, it’s going to be very tough for the cutback lanes to open up. Wouldn’t be surprised if the Patriots line up Vince Wilfork right over Myers on early downs, and then move Wilfork around in passing situations. But the Patriots might very well think that Kyle Love, who played well last week following a couple of mediocre games, can do the job himself, and that will allow Wilfork to be impactful in a three-technique role on the outside shoulder of a guard. Both LG Wade Smith and rookie RG Ben Jones are ripe for the taking.
