    just loved the way he played yest...just hope he builds on this

    remember the knock was that he played in spurts...like he got a majority of his sacks in a few games....but i like the way he is improving and hearing other linemen talk like that about him is encouraging

    More from Whitfield...

    Whitfield, a 15-year veteran starting in place of Kareem McKenzie, had no problem with Williams. "How hard he clubbed me, I was still dizzy," Whitfield said. "I didn't even see the sack. All of a sudden I felt the hardest little hit on a human body and I just started flying to the right and he smashed Eli. Shoot, he should have crossed over, dribbled, slam-dunked and all that. You get a sack, that's what you're supposed to do."

    And I caught it firsthand because I said to myself, `Don't give the young kid a sack.' But I don't call it a sack when he actually dislocates your whole left side of your body when he hit me.

    Hearing this and seeing him develop now reinforces the fact the Texans for once actually DID make the right decision. :p

    Way to go, Mario! Keep it up! :D

    I just saw a blurb on sportcenter on a segment comparing the top 2 picks and who made the right decision... and they said "the results will surprise you" heh I will try and record it when I see it come on.

    Thanks for everyone's replies and comments on this thread. Living in Arlington can really bite not getting to watch many Texans games.


    However, I did get to see one game televised here (finally) and after seeing Mario in action against the Giants I was truly impressed. I remembered seeing him flatten that Giant to the ground and oh yes, of course the sack, that was a thing of beauty. I was thinking also about how he parted the red err blue sea of Giants so the Demeco can have his share in the sack buffet.

    After the draft I read somewhere that they hoped that Mario would eat Manning for lunch because his head looks like a pear or something to that effect, well he had his brother for appetizers so on to the main course!

    I also happened to read this article written by everyones favorite chronicle writer Richard InJustice and how he talked about the progress of Mario Williams. I didn't see this anywhere else so I'll go ahead and provide a link. It's actually a pretty good article. Mario begins to make QB, critics cower

    Not sure if this has been posted in this thread yet, but I didn't see it. Page 2's Bill Simmons actually says that maybe Mario IS better than Reggie.


    Bill Simmons' NFL Predictions

    Texans (+10.5) over JAGS
    We're now at the stage of the Mario Williams-Reggie Bush saga when every true Texan fan on the planet (A) knows that Reggie Bush is averaging only 2.6 yards per carry, and (B) had mentioned that to at least 10 of his friends in the past few days, accompanied by a line like, "Hey, maybe this worked out for the best!" And you know what? You might be right. Bush looks terrible. I know he's been a valuable decoy, but it doesn't explain why he's stutter-stepping behind the line on every rush. It looks like he spent the summer studying Thomas Jones' game films from his Arizona days. Step it up, Reggie.

    I'm loving it! :D

    The other thing I was gonna say was:

    I hope that Mario gets an interception or a fumble this week and returns it for a touchdown. How great would that be to have Mario with such great stats AND a touchdown, and Bush with horrible stats and just as many touchdowns as Mario. :D

    I'm honestly fearful of a Reggie breakout game this week (say, 80 yds rushing with a 30 yd TD, 60 yds recieving, and a big return for 40) that will bring upon such a WAVE of Bush adulation and Texan bashing that it will all go right back to the ESPN-led Bowie-over-Jordan crap all over again., even if Mario gets 2 sacks or better.

    NO is playing Pittsburgh, which has the #9 rushing defense and #8 total defense in the league (and Pitt is at home). I don't expect Bush to have negative rushing yards again this week, but I also don't expect him to have a breakout game, either. If I had to predict a breakout game for him, it would probably be the following week at home against Cincy and their 24th ranked rushing defense. Or on Nov. 30th at home against San Fran and their 29th ranked total defense.

    WOW! thanks slowly-D! Some scouts said he gives up in pursuits like that, but he showed persistance. His arms are soooooooo long he was able to get a hand on Vince. I was wondering if you have the Eli sack as well? If not that's cool.

    I hardly get to see Texans games here. The only games they show here are the Cowboys every week and the TUNA AND T.O. show never ends!!! I see it in the paper and in the news and it drives me nuts!!!! The Longhorns are fast becoming one of my favorite teams as an alternative to the Texans and you know, that Colt kid is something special.. but that's another story..

    Yeah dude. I feel for you in that respect. The continuing saga "As the Star farts..." The Cowboys once were a class organization now they're relegated to buffoons. Check the Giant game thread on I think p40 or 42 and you'll see Mario 's AWESOME sack on Eli. Man, Mario just threw Whitfield to the turf, he abused him and then plants Eli on his ASS. Perfect form tackle. Eli never had a chance! :D

    I think it was in the Giants' game thread...
