He didn't even have to use any of his "juking" moves. Just straight up speed on the right side (away from the Bucs, who were mainly on the left). Good job Reggie.

Cosign, he was bound to make a play at some point.

Funny. I was watching the pregame on fox and they said reggie has not made any tds because of his slightly injured ankles. Hmm. Ankles must be feeling better.

yeah my game was over, so i switched over to the bucs. boy they are having a tough year. gradkowski looks like the REAL deal though, seriously.
so does matt leinart, btw. 50 yard TD pass to anquan boldin on the 2nd pass of the game.
edit: holy crap another TD for leinart. 5 for 5, 2 TD's. rookies are doing great today.
Dolphin fan, Texans fan or Saints fan doesn't matter. Probably posted to our board faster than on a Saints board.

What kills me is our great proclaimed "General" who recently won a new paper weight, is busy starring in movies, and writing a movie script will probably hype this up more than Marios sack and a half. Right below his article about VY, ofcourse. His title for the win was:"Texans get refreshing change: Victory."
C'mon he could do better. He still shows dissatisfaction with Mario being the pick. He could have said "Mario gets first sack in Texans win." Something. Throw me a bone.

I don't see why it is out of line for this to be posted on our board. It is in the NFL section and it is the first TD for a former Heisman winner, highly touted in the draft, that there was a large chance we were going to draft. You people so zealous in your distaste for Bush are the same as the people zealously in love with his potential. Two sides of the same coin.
Congrats to Bush.
Congrats to Bush.
Don't use logic! The reggie haters can't stand that.
Its so insane how the same people bash Bush week in and week out, and then complain that there is too much talk about him. For whatever its worth, MW and RB aren't linked in anything mroe than name. Their fates do not dictate anything about the other. I wish people would just be happy for both.

But the sack help win the game also it got every body pumped. Yea it was nice TD, but the sack was just as important. If he did not do it who knows if the crowd would have been that pumped or even if the players would have been that pumped, and if we did not get that pumped what would have happened.

Actually, it was a sack to end a drive that Miami had that could have ended in a game winning score. And there was that tipped pass he deflected on the 2pt try. Yeah, nothing serious. Just a controversial pick making big plays they dont wont him to make.

I am not a Reggie Hater I don't mind him getting attention It was a game saving TD, but when mario gets a sack that pumped up everyody I just feel he should get some attention from it. I heard very little about mario sack.

the sack was on 1st down and the .5 sack came on 2nd down. it was at the start of the 4th quarter. it's still not been confirmed that williams even tipped the ball.
it's not even close. not. even. close.

I can't tell if you are being facetious but if you were at the game you would have felt the momentum shift caused by the sack. A sack isn't worth 6 points but it was easily a game changing play.

I love it. "Williams and Ryans" the announcer said. Sounds just as good as "Carr to Johnson."
Marios head almost touched his ankles when he leaned back and yelled to get that gorrilla off his back.
Off topic: I go coon hunting(No i dont eat them) but I love a dog that trees and throws his head back on the tree. Anyone else who is a hunter knows what I am talking about. Mario reminded me of that.

Lets say he did not get the sack and culpepper gets some yards the crowd and the team would have not been as pumped, and who knows if they would have scored on that series. It put the Dolphins in a hole, and they had a hard time digging themselves out with that 1.5 sacks.

the dolphins put up their best offensive performance in the game following that drive. what momentum?
reggie bush's TD won the game. how can one say the sack was more important?
NEROtheZERO

I didn't say that but to think that Mario's sack wasn't a game changer is foolish. Like I said, a sack isn't worth 6 points but the first pick in the draft's first career sack, which electrified a stadium, is not negligable.

Consider it confirmed. 3rd sentence. "Williams tipped a two-point conversion that would have tied the game..."
Reggie's game winning play and Mario's game saving play shows both are talented players and both will have success in this league. Just dont spin one players or anothers to make one look superior please.
#2 overall huge price to pay for a special teams player.
We got one last year in the 4th round who went to the pro bowl as a rook.
Bush still completely ineffective in rushs from scrimmage. He was something
like 23 yards on 9 or 10 carrries, 'bout 2.5 per rush.
D. Mcalister on the other hand got 'bout 125 yards on 15 carriers for
8 yrd average for NOLA. He's their primary running back, Bush is a reserve
and will be while Mcalister is with NOLA.

Ascribe it whatever importance you will but the tape clearly shows Mario Williams tipping the ball.

A sack on the first two plays in that drive could have taken away 6 points. It stopped there drive. They did not even get it started . So if he did not get a sack on either one of those plays it would not have put them in a 3 and long situation, and I never said that it was more important I said they where both great.

Atleast he is honest about being wrong. He must have been looking through Ms. Cleos crystal ball to watch the game.

Yes Bush got a PR TD that gave them the lead with 4:19 remaining.
Mairo's sack came with 14 minutes left in the 4th. that sack along with the .5 sack after that helped give the Texans great field position off of the Punt..... and we scored a TD on the next drive.

bottom line is both players helped their team win today!

i'm not disagreeing. i'm not even sure why i'm arguing here, i think bush is absurdly overrated, that mario williams was a great pick and the punt return wasn't even that great.
but....a game-winning TD is OBVIOUSLY going to get more coverage than a sack that really didn't factor into the finality of the game.
and everyone thinks booker slipping in the endzone was what ended that 2-pt play, not the tipped pass.
NEROtheZERO

Of course. Just as a game winning HR would get more coverage than a diving catch or a clutch strike out. Scoring points will always be more glamorous than saving points.

well that's the reason this conversation started. some homer said "i bet this will get more coverage than mario's sack." yes...DUH.

The sack did have a factor in the end of the game. If he had not sacked culpepper on those plays the drive could have been started, and they could have scored. A sack is a huge factor in almost every game besides the games that are out of hand at the time. The Texans Dolphins game was very close 6-10 at the time i think. So it was a huge factor in the game.

How's it not been confirmed, maybe it's just you that doesn't wanna believe it, but we have eyes and we saw it. Mario kept us from going into overtime. Show the man his due credit.
Sorry, see this point was already made

I am not a HOMER the sack should have gotten more coverage. They where covering on how he was not getting any sacks before the game, but when he does get a sack he does not get that much coverage. so there is no DUH about it.
TFL
Waterboy
I never said that he deserved more coverage you go back and find out where i did. I just said that Mario should have got more attention then what he did get. They should both get the same amount of attention.

Yes and no. He slipped trying to adjust after the tip changed the direction of the ball. Barring a drop, its two points if the ball's not tipped.
