Practice Squad
I am a native Houstonian who relocated to NO several years ago and was recently re-located back to Houston by my company due to the hurricane Katrina last year, and consider myself both a Saints fan and a Texan fan.Just wanted to get that out of the way. Ok, loved the zone blocking scheme implemented by Kubiak, I've seen it work in Denver, mad props. Loved the combination of speed, power,agility and plain old toughness and tenacity demonstrated by the rookie rb. Sage Rosenfelz(spelling?) seemed shaky at first, but soon settled in to put on a demonstration of leadership that reminded me of Troy Aikman-don't get me wrong-I'm not saying he's the next Troy Aikman or anything like that, I'm just saying he remained calm and demonstrated true leadership on the field, which is what the Texans sorely need. Alas, David Carr was the same old David. On the run from the snap, throwing into coverage, locking on to one receiver, last night it was Eric Moulds underneath. So, here we are-tough schedule ahead. I have a feeling it's gonna be a long season. So, now I guess I'm gonna go to the Saints board and gloat.:mario: Mario who? Did he play last night?

Carr was rolling out after the snap, not on the run. He threw to Moulds and Andre. I never got the impression he was locked into just 1 receiver. The pass the Andre that was almost intercepted was a poor decision. The long throw to Andre that was tipped by the LB was just a great play by the Chiefs. A little more touch maybe, but it wasn't a bad pass. Overall, I don't have the sense of impending doom that you feel.

On the ball that was almost picked, it looked like the RB that was supposed to freeze the Corner never got out there deep enough to hold the Corner for a second.

Cause if the Corner is stalled just for a second right there it is a good throw, maybe Carr was expecting him to.:cool:

OR maybe it was just not a throw he should try again.:cool:

No they aren't. Saints fans couldn't be more happy that the Texans passed on Reggie. Find one Saints fan who doesn't want Reggie ... not gonna happen.

MY friend you have taken the words right out of my mouth. Has been said on other threads that Mario was on NO draft board as their #1 had we taken Bush, IMO that why we took him and did not trade down(not that we had many offers to trade down) But with so many 'ants fans coming to our board I'm starting to think thay are kind of jealous.
 
domt come back here again..go back to the saints mb!! maybe next year you can get adrian peterson with the first overall pick next year!
 
Man come on, titan fan didn't do anything, him and the original poster were just stating their opinions, they werent trolling or anything, some of our own fans in this post are acting like trolls...

Now, ask Jeff Fisher if he thinks you should have taken Vince Young, or not.

I'll have to go look at that one again. It ended up being a good play by Andre no matter what.

Everyone here can speculate as to what the players should have done and how they performed. The only ones that matter are probably going through the game tapes for the 4th time right now and will see things the rest of us (well, except maybe Vinny) can only dream of understanding. I have faith that the coaching staff will get everyone on this team playing their best.

No doubt, the Saints fans are happy they took Reggie Bush. As well as getting Drew Brees. I've heard the stores stopped carrying Paper Bags for a few weeks. Said it was the first time in 40 years people preferred plastic over paper when getting their groceries bagged.

I think both views are correct. Saints probably were looking at Mario with the 2nd pick assuming the Texans took Bush. The Saints would have been happy with either one and weren't going to trade up. The Texans wanted Mario and couldn't trade below #2 and keep him. The Texans got a player to help create a dominant defense (2 series in 1 preseason game doesn't make or break a player). The Saints got a marquee player that will help bring fans back to their team.

It's a win-win situation.

That was probably the most intelligent breakdown of the situation I've read on here, to date.:twocents: Thanks

No, the way Mario and Reggie performed yesterday I'd say they are pretty satisfied.

sorry bill some people cant take and honest opinion and start lashing out with personal attacks. but i agree with some of your assessments of the game.

Mario Williams: 0 tackles

But how many plays did Mario change as a result of his pressure and the attention that they had to give him?
 
tulexan said:
Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe he did play some running back in high school.

From his profile on the Texans site:

"also played running back as a senior and rushed for 590 yards and three touchdowns on 58 carries"
 
Hou. = 2-14 last year = drafted Mario = held KC to 173 yds. total offense, while rushing for 178 = 5 sacks Sat. night with 0 allowed = Lundy, a late round pick with a better overall running game than Reggie (God) Bush had.

The question should be: Didn't Vince Young play this weekend? Where was he?

Kyle Turley = Hasn't Played in the NFL since '03 = Owned Mario

I wouldn't say he was owned by any single person. He was doubled quite often. Sure, he could've played better, but I like our D as a whole achieving 5 sacks. I can only assume he'll get better, as well as our whole team for that matter, as pre-season goes on.

What does "owned" mean? Mario was only in for 11 plays and Turley got quite a bit of help.

Multiple Blockers for Mario = Texans Defense stops KC's offense = Texans win

Ingore the Tack Fan. He's just severely confused. His heart lies in New Orleans, but he's a Tack fan. He's so used to losing, it has clouded his thinking ability.

Hard to take a guy who hangs out on another team's MB seriously.
 
Mario played 11 plays and didn't look spectacular on 11 plays. Because Kyle Turley stoned him a few times does not implicate ownership, offensive lineman are supposed to win more often than not. Even the best pass rushers in the league average less than a sack per game, and that's taking 30+ snaps in many cases, not 11. Mario's performance will need to be judged on the basis of how he performs in full games, and the season in it's entirety. The talking heads on TV as well as many on this board have suggested for some time now that the ignorant folks will be declaring Reggie the better pick right off the bat due to the instant impact he makes in the superficial areas of easy to look up statistics and ESPN coverage. In other words it's much easier to tabulate the progress of a running back and extrapolate that to performance than it is to do likewise with a DE. Mario will have a much more subtle, but IMO a much more powerful sway on the outcome of the Texans season than Mr. Bush will have for the Saints.

It's fun to watch highlight reels, but it's much more fun to win.

I lived in New Orleans for 1 year. I've lived in Nashville for 17. I've been to over 60 Titans games. So no, my heart isn't in New Orleans.

Yes, they already had one good running back that could not help them win. Let's add another more expensive one even though they both can't carry the ball at the same time. D'oh!

Sorry about that, I'm just a big :homer: & BIG supporter of the team & I don't root for any other NFL team! H-Town should be happy they have an NFL team there! Here in the Rio Grande Valley, I have to hear mostly about the Cowboys, Spurs, & Mavricks on TV! I just believe people around here needs to get over the fact that Super Mario was picked instead of Reggie & move on! IMHO Mario is a much more bigger need, esp in our division! You have to give this young man a chance, it just takes a while for DE or DT to produce & I believe he will in a big way! :) :mario:

Right on phantom 17! You don't have to apologize to anyone for your opinions or feelings about Mario or the team! You have a right to express yourself on this MB just like they do. The Texans could win 10 Super Bowls with Mario and he could go to 10 Pro Bowls and some people would still think we made the wrong choice! You just can't please everybody!

So, from one :homer: to another, :gotexans1

When exercising your "right to express yourself", I suspect trashing someone else's opinion is not it?

Also, the original poster did not really complain about the Williams pick although some people started accusing him of it.

Oh, in case you feel like taking on my "team loyalty". I do not live in Houston, nor do I live in the US. I live in Denmark and STILL managed to go to training camp 2 weeks ago. I also love the Williams pick...
