Gonna try to steer things away from another VY debate thread. Mario Williams Stats: September: 3 Games 6 Solo Tackles 2 Ast. Tackles 8 Total Tackles 0 Sacks October: 4 Games 11 Solo Tackles 3 Ast. Tackles 14 Total Tackles 3.5 Sacks 1 Fumble Recovery He struggled a lot early on but seems to have come around.
Because, man! That Reggie Bush is lighting it up! And Dude, that Leinart is set to be the league MVP! And whoa!!! Look out! VY is like stinkin' Joe Montana! He beat the Texans! Give it up.
Don't forget the game he basically WON against Miami by tipping that pass on the 2 point conversion attempt.
The four more tackles with one more game really isn't a big deal. The sacks are certainly a good thing, though.
Well, if you are going to have to WAIT for the talent to mature, I would rather have it at QB....I have never liked Bush.... So, at least I am right and you are wrong... nah, nah, nah....naaaaah, nah. DD
Even better sarcasm. D-Ryans is head and shoulders IMO the best AFC rookie performer. He is already showing to be a difference maker out there. Mario is definitely coming along though. Leinart has to be hating life right now. Arizona is a long way from the USC spotlight he was used to.
This made me crack-up. I think Mario is going to be an incredible player. He has unbelievable closing speed. He seems to always be around the ball.
Well I posted a poll on one of my FF message boards, asking if the Texans are still idiots for passing on Bush. The current vote is 116 yes, 84 no. Most are saying the Texans didn't maximize the value of the pick, yada yada yada.....
Chasing down Henry (IIRC) from behind was the play that really stood out for me. He is developing just fine and I believe he will eventually live up to the #1 pick billing. Like someone said earlier, the most of the members media hate to be wrong (like the naive John Clayton). They still keep conjuring Bush's name like we do not have TVs. Some of us saw Bush's weaknesses and pronounced him overrated. Unfortunately, ESPN's knack for silliness has so far prevented them from being fair and ballanced on this. Who cares anyways. We have Ryans and Mario. Next year's defense is definitely projecting to be a strength for us. We could still add a quality DB to the mix. Peyton Manning better watch out 'cos our defense is coming.
But at least he is playing more and looks better than the #2 pick I agree with you they should have traded Carr for a late 1st, taken VY and then another good player with the picked up 1st rounder. But since they didn't trade Carr, I think Mario was the right choice. I think he has a great upside, worthy of the #1 pick most years. Or see the Heisman voting last year. The only time ESPN called themselves/media/voters out for the injustice was right after the Rose Bowl before the corp sponsers told them to cut out the Bush dogging. As for VY, anyone who has watched Tenn for 7 games knows he has made a positive impact. Yet he still barely knows the offense or pro game at all. By year 2 or certainly year 3 he will be a terror, and Tenn wouldn't trade him for anyone. If anything ML, a very football smart player but one with more average tools and athleticism, is closed to peaked out and VY will get better and better.
Desert Scar, I agree if you are not going to take Carr, you take Williams....but I thought VY was the only player worthy of the number 1 pick. If the Texans were against VY, then they should have traded the pick and picked up more picks, this team has a LOT of holes. DD
That's funny Mr. Thread Policeman, what player and team were you referring to in all these posts before I even popped into this thread? I guess the cat (VY) got your tongue and your response to me was the best you got left.
I didn't cut and paste, if it was close to word for word it is because I have a good memory. And The Heisman stuff did fit it because it just shows how Bush continues to get a free reign from the media even when he has arguably the most atrocious game by any rookie so far (fumble, INT, terrible YPT, and his team that had looked solid gets blown out). VY or MW (and to a lesser degree ML) play like that, they would be the laughing stock all throughout media circles and the I-told-you-so draft geeks.
