And the thing that's even more disappointing, besides passing on the big 2 which is a matter of the past, but looking at guys like Manny Lawson, Mathias Kiwanuka (Besides letting go of VY on that one play), Tamba Hali, and Mark Anderson who just racked up the sacks last year and play with such high motors but they're not even as physically gifted as Mario, and were ALL in the same draft. We could have gotten ANY single one of them and be better off. I don't like being a pessimist but until he shows me effort I have lost hope in him.
It's a complete lack of effort. God Bush would look great in this offense. I would love to have VY too but i don't want to slight Schaub since he has looked good. What's funny is it actually seems we have depth at the QB position.
How long have ads been digitally placed on the field? I walked by the TV while my friend was watching the game, and there's a freaking Taco Cabana logo on the field. WTF?! Screw the NFL... I'll bet anything that they put ads in the uprights when somebody is about to kick a field goal
It's so ****ing nice to have a QB who can actually read the field and not fall into a ball when a finger comes near his body. I cannot wait for the regular season to start. This offense has promise thanks to our new and very much improved "leader". So damn glad I'll never have to watch Carr again. SO damn glad.
Jacoby Jones: this year's Devin Hester? I'm just looking forward to seeing opposing teams try to make up their minds whether to kick to Mathis or Jones.
what can you say about mario williams other than thank goodness for demeco ryans. has he done anything more than occupy a position on the field? at this point i'm pretty confident you could pluck nearly any half-ass defensive end out of college and get the same production. he hasn't played in a real game in his second season yet, so i'm not going to be silly and call him a bust, but he's shockingly bad right now.
Well Carolin comes here. . . and the General McCain says Carr could be starting by then So . . .. . . Yuo might be happy to watch Carr then Rocket RIver
just saw on sportscenter, merrill hodge compared schaub to leinart. in his opinion schaub has more upside than leinart, more poised under pressure than leinart, and he predicted schaub will have a better year than leinart. i haven't seen schaub play at all. has he really looked that good so far?
how odd that i actually find myself anxiously anticipating this season.... just not having carr on the roster is reason enough for me.
Offense looked sharp yesterday -- def made some big plays, but the Cards marched down the field pretty easy. Mario...ug.
In the first game, the pass to Walters that Walters dropped got me excited because it was a throw made with pressure right in Schaub's face. In this game I got excited on the screen pass that Schaub threw to Dayne, I believe. Had it been any of our other RBs than him, it would be a big gain and maybe even 6. But the key thing was, Carr wouldn't have done it. He never could sell the screen well. It pretty much hasn't been a part of our offense for 5 years now.
Forty million dollars of Texans money is devoted to Mario Williams; what a waste of resources. Instead of two of the most exciting players in the NFL, the Texans picked Mario Williams. I told you they will NEVER live it down, a NFL-wide joke for many, many years to come.
Yeah, who cares about actually being productive... they're exciting!!!!!!!!!! Mario hasn't looked good, but it's preseason, for one. Second, it's an absolutely absurd "joke" until those two players you speak of do something besides post a QB rating in the 60s and a YPC of higher than a meager 3.6. It's so funny... when VY goes 5-for-17 and is sacked four times, it's irrelevant because it's "just the preseason." When Mario has a poor preseason game, it automatically makes him the biggest bust in the history of sports.
Bad example. VY had what could be considered a successful rookie season, even going as far as winning ROY honors. Mario, despite nagging health issues, did not have a good year. Thus, VY is afforded more slack in the preseason, and Mario is dogged constantly.
