YOU thought he was worthy of the number one pick. Why would the Texans trade the number 1 pick if THEY thought Mario was worthy of it? truth is, you could be right. VY could go on to have a hall of fame career, leading Tenn. to a SuperBowl title. but it's hard for me to fathom that the Texans themselves didn't make the pick based on who they truly thought could help them out most. i can live with that. but we know you're always right...see Dan Langhi.
I think he's improved every week. Everyone want ot talk about the the trade of the pick , but no one would trade because all the top ten teams thought the top 10 players were pretty equal from mario to davis to cutler so why give up the pick. If you look at the money in the nfl it qb,re,rt,cb. Why? Those are the hardest to find impact players. How many time a good de become availible in the fa market? We have seen Alexander,James,and Lewis have to take less money because the market wasnt there. This is a process for this team. The colts suck at d, yet Freeney has played, but other people have not. I still want this team to build a defense. As long as you have good defense you will be in and win a lot of games.
If you're team is playing from ahead, you have a good chance to get sacks. It doesnt hurt that anderson plays alongside the best 3 technique in tommie harris and on the other sie of alex brown.
Mario looks like he's going to be monster for a long time. And our defense is going to be a thing of beauty by the end of the year.It's nice to get a glimpse today of the hard hitting machine that's coming. Nobody will want to play us. We made the right decision in this draft. Assuming Spencer and Winston(who is doing well today) are our starting tackles,I see us headed to the playoffs next year....
Mario also had another QB hurry right after that, could have been another sack and a forced fumble, the ball looked like it went backwards.
Yep, they were both pitiful. Looks like we might have dodged a couple of bullets in the draft. An RB that can't rush and a QB that can't pass. Hilarious. They will both get better in the future, but we have DE who can actually pass rush now, to the tune of 4.5 sacks in the last 5 games. And how about our other rookies? Demeco and Daniels are also playing very well. Lundy has had an impact. Kalu has done some things. Spencer was doing well before the injury. A few more drafts like this and we'll have a pretty solid team.
He sure did... Too bad Manning's arm was coming forward on the second hit, or Mario would have recorded another sack and a forced fumble. I loved the emotion he showed today. Great things to come for Mario...
It seems like Mario Williams is finding his comfort zone and will be ready to dominate as soon as next year. That's all you can ask for a #1 pick, 4.5 sacks in 5 games are pro bowl numbers and he's just a rookie. Reggie Bush...-5 yards on 11 carries! And he's a third down back, which means he gets most of the "easy" yards when teams are playing the pass on third down. Imagine if LeBron averaged 8 ppg on 35% shooting his rookie year, that's what Reggie's doing right now. I had high hopes for him out of college, but he simply can't break a tackle or run through a hole without falling down.
Damn Vince Young looks horrible. He is like 4 years away from having a chance to be decent. Reggie looks horrible this year but his team wins. Mario Williams looks better and better every game. Ryans, Daniels, Lundy all look good and hopefully we see more of Winston rather than Saleem or Wiegert who both suck.
I love seeing the progression Mario is making...he's improving every week and looks to be the pick the Texans needed at #1. 11 carries for -5 yards for Bush? Yeah, not so sure you can spin that to make it look decent...thats just bad.
ESPN never will. They said the same junk about Robert Gallary and he sucks. I hate Sean Salisbury. He went to USC and was all on Bush and Leinarts jock and always found a way on draft day to trash them. I really hate Micheal Irvin. Like Tiki Barber said, he doesn't know how to be a journalist. He still thinks the Cowboys are the best team in the NFC.
i didn't want the texans to take bush, but I didn't think he would have problems breaking tackles which I guess is his main problem. I didn't think his size was an issue because I think he has nfl running back size but apparently it is. no one could have predicted he would be so ineffective. now I understand why he didn't get the ball on that fourth down in the rosebowl. pete carroll knew something we didn't.
I haven't seen any of Reggie's games, but if his problem is primarily that he can't break tackles, then he could be a bust of mythical proportions. But at least they can move him to WR and he could probably be pretty effective there. However, if Reggie's problem is more mental, in that he keeps trying to bounce it outside instead of hitting the inside lanes, then he could learn that and turn it around. Also, Deuce McAllister only averaged 2 ypc, so their whole rushing game was ineffective.
