The texans supposedly have a great defensive line, but a lot of that belief is about people thinking JJ Watt will be the same guy this year after major back injuries last year, but there are plenty of guys that never fully came back from that kind of thing. We'll see how they hold up against the run come week 1, but my guess is they won't be as imposing as everyone thinks they will be. 

The tinhorns have a pretty good defensive line even without Watt, IMO. 
Mercilus gets pressure consistently from the edge or by shooting the A or B gap, and they move him around pretty wisely. 
Clowney has finally acclimated to the NFL game and could be even better in 2017 than he was in his "breakout" year. 
Their interior guys are quality players as well. The unit finished 12th against the run, second against the pass and 11th overall in points allowed -- with watt only playing in two games. 

They do have some young players in their interior intended rotation that may or may not show some weakness in their game at times  - and I'd look for the Jags to attempt to focus there in their ground attack.
