Mario dominates after getting angry in practice
Defensive end Mario Williams didn't have a particularly good practice on Monday, and defensive line coach Jethro Franklin let him know about it.

During Tuesday's morning practice, Williams got angry and took it out on the offensive linemen. He dominated on six consecutive plays.

Another thing that has brought a smile to my face today.
 
Great news that when he wants to, he can dominate.

Read between the lines and you can still sense his lack of effort and work ethic. I just heard on 610 this afternoon that the coaches were really disapointed with his effort the last practice

I wouldn't neccesarily go that far. It was just nice to see that Mario was able to dominate on severl consecutive plays.

I also think alot of NFL players play better when they are angery, what Mario really needs to do is find a way to channel that energy every Sunday morning. I think it's a youth thing more then anyting.

Unless all that said jokingly, I have a hard time with the tone of posts when there are no smilies.

Like The Water Boy.
 
Somebody please tape a copy of the Madden '08 cover to his locker before every game.

Hopefully he can get fired up before every game on his own. Getting mad is not the most consistent method of motivation, simply because he won't be able to keep up his anger level for three hours on gameday.

At least we've got coaches now that aren't afraid to call out players instead of coddling them because of draft position.

We're dealing with that potential thing , which he has a lot of . If Mario decides or figures out how to turn it on ... then he can be dominant .

I read a book on Butkus and he swore that he was'nt a mean guy . Dick was obssessed with being a great football player and learned that being feared made him a much better player . So Mario get feared .

I don't.

Some people just don't have that natural tenacity.

Doesn't mean he can't be successful otherwise, but it's better that a player doesn't play with anger anyways. It takes a lot of energy to be angry and also you don't think as well....

It's cool to unleash it sparingly, but I'd rather have a player with a nasty demeanor who plays with a level head....

Sorta like Meco...Well exactly like Meco...

Yeah, that's why he took out his anger today because the coaches called him out yesterday.
 
Here's a recent picture of Mario on the sidelines getting a drink -

Sorry, someone has to play Devil's Advocate......."so the overall #1 pick needs someone pushing his buttons to get ready to play? Shouldn't he be peeved everyday" :)

I dunno know, I never learned how to focus anger and determination untill I was in college. As a kid I was still trying to be nice to everybody, untill I realised that people were stepping on me because of it.

Somebody of Mario's talent may never have really needed to reach deep down for that little extra till he got here.

We shall see.

Nicely done, sir.

Just make sure Mario gets a sponorship deal for his Sidekick before he starts chunking them through the locker room walls.
 
perhaps we can shuttle TJ and Okoye this season and let them bring Mario some ice to put on his head in the huddles between plays.
 
Just make him watch the Astros every night ... the anger that comes from doing that alone can bring down mountains.

Look, this isn't a thread about Cruel and Inhumane punishment... We just want him to get fired up not lose his mind.

you're a sick person
:)

not sure, after drafting TJ, he said DJ was his idol and wanted to play like him... well we are still waiting for TJ to just ....play

He's obviously failing miserably. Deacon Jones could probably outplay TJ right now.
 
What ever it takes to get the Man to play up to his potential needs to be done on a daily basis. Keep Mario "foaming at the mouth" and we will make the Playoff sooner rather than later.
 
it was never wise to piss off Reggie White :bowser:

the Texans, his linemates & Mario need to develop a program (utilize training camp for this) that increases their intensity on a consistant basis fostering a game time attitude that fosters his mean streak to appear in critical game situations :highfive:
 
I suppose at the end of the day it is good to know that Mario at least has it in him, regardless of what it takes to get it out.

Hopefully the coaches are in his face every Sunday morning to motivate him to greatness. It definitely justifies the means to an end in this case.
 
That's where a great former player would have been a a great coach. Like a Singletary, his presence alone makes other players better, and his knowledge of the game and what it takes to dominate are invaluable...The Texans need to find someone like that to add to the staff..
