Jones just might actually make last year's draft look pretty good if Mario steps it up this year. The guy looks like the perfect break away slot reciever.
I was most impressed with: Schaub: Great poise, great passes, great timing. This guy sis going to be awesome. Not Vince but great nonetheless. Jones: This guy is SICK. What a find! The O-Line: These guys, along with the backside help from the FB or RB...are doing a great job. Sssssage: That guy is as smooth as yacht rock. Zabransky: His pass to Mathis that did not get caught. Ok So I am biased...At least he is not Van Pelt. I just hope he is on the roster, not just the practice squad. Dunta: He seems to be back, no? Turk: Stanley, my fellow lumberjack, it was a nice run. Kris Brown: He may spell his name like a girl but he is rock-steady in the preseason. Unimpressed with: The pressure-less emotionless hapless D-Line: We're gonna need to use another 1st round pick next year on a defensive lineman. Dreessen: Scrub tight end that dropped Z's 4th down conversion sure thing game wrapper.
They're just going to have to move Mario inside and have him bulk up. He is not a speed rusher and it's fairly obvious at this point. He's one of these guys who is incredibly gifted physically but just doesn't have the talent to fit his body.
mario doesnt get off the line as quick as he should. he's a split second behind everyone else on the DLine.
Yeah...it sucks. I'm an SFA grad also and it was always kinda cool having an Ex-Jack on the Texans. At least their first signing was a Jack, Mike Quinn.
I am very disappointed in Mario. He wasn't even being double team, no excuses. What a worthless player.
Don't look at it that way, you will give yourself a headache. Let us just pretend that Demeco and owens were the first picks of each round grrr...I swear, if the texans select another D-linemen, with 22nd pick in this upcoming draft, I will jump off the Alamo!
I have some hope in the offense. Our top two QBs are BOTH better than the starter last year (kinda like the Rockets are at PG). That is a huge leap by itself. Both guys have better pocket presence and accuracy. The O-line did OK but I have a sinking feeling we are an injury away from having major pass-protection problems. Then again, maybe Carr really was responsible for a lot of sacks. Jacoby Jones and Mathis will make games more fun to watch. On defense, Dunta looked good, our safeties looked bad and Mario Williams is looking more and more like a bust. He doesn't have the burst and intensity to be a pass rushing defensive end. He just ain't wired for it. I agree he should eventually bulk up and move inside. What huge mistake.
i'd love to look at it another way. but he's costing us quite a bit, and we're not getting much of a return.
