What? If we had signed a veteran FA and he had Mario's stat line today, you're saying you'd be pleased??! From a veteran?Man you guys are reaching. He played fine if he'd been a FA pick-up. He's not playing anywhere near where he should play given he was the first pick of the draft.
Evidently not if you thought Mario had a bad game.Did we watch the same game?
yup, which is all you can really ask from a rookie ... nomatter when he was chosen. what stands out to me, is he's not beating himself anymore. he's not overthinking his role (atleast not nearly as often). his technique and field awareness is still well below where you want it to be, but that's getting better and just takes time.You can tell he's getting more comfortable, its coming together.
why are you on this MB BESIDES STIRRING THE POT?wow - the Texans lost 34-6 and the best you can say is "he came close to getting a sack"? Did we watch the same game?
I'd rather have a DB or a LB in the first round, and a Gaurd in the second..."And the Houston Texans with the #1 pick, select
Adrian Peterson out of the University of Oklahoma."
That's what I hope I hear next Spring.
Mario did pretty good for the 1st half though. We need the whole game
next time.
This stupid show of diving into the endzone has cost Oklahoma their #1 back for the rest of the season. It is a shame that these guys can't act like they have been there before, you know, like Emmitt Smith did when he scored."And the Houston Texans with the #1 pick, select
Adrian Peterson out of the University of Oklahoma."
That's what I hope I hear next Spring.

didn't see it.. I did hear about his dad was in the stands and his first TD he just handed the ball off to the refThis stupid show of diving into the endzone has cost Oklahoma their #1 back for the rest of the season. It is a shame that these guys can't act like they have been there before, you know, like Emmitt Smith did when he scored.
In closing said:Yeah I will say it. If the Saints drafted Mario they would have been 5-1. The saints have been winnign becuase Deuce is healthy(injured last season), have a real QB in Brees(Aaron is a joke), and have been joined by WR surprise in Marques Colston. What has reggie really done for the Saints? Not a whole lot. Through 5 games, Reggie has had 170 yds rushing(34YPG average) and 250 yds receiving (50 YPG receiving) and 1 td(on a punt return). Colston has had MUCH MUCH more to do with the turnaround of the Saints then Reggie thus far.
It wasnt really showboating. A guy had him around the ankles at the 3 and he just dove to make sure he got it and landed awkardly because of the tackle. I wonder how much this will afect his draft status?This stupid show of diving into the endzone has cost Oklahoma their #1 back for the rest of the season.

Well yea for a 1st rd 1st pick he played like dookie once again. I was all for the "supa mario" thing but further and further hell he's just another TJ good for nothing but a body on the feild .................wish REGGIE was on our team he'd be a good distraction for AJ and EMO but nahh lets pick "Supa Mario" yea he'll help us this year!!!Evidently not if you thought Mario had a bad game.
no, no showboat there... but watching that just makes mehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jRysD-UHvBY
Last play on the tape. Doesn;t look like a showboat move to me.
Lets hope not...Lynch and Irons > Peterson."And the Houston Texans with the #1 pick, select
Adrian Peterson out of the University of Oklahoma."
That's what I hope I hear next Spring.

Mario did get handled by a tight end more than once in the second half, but then again, almost everyone got dominated in the second half.Mario did a good job today. He disrupted plays, pressured the QB, and drew double-teams. A DE doesnt need to get a sack every game to make a difference.
However, the team seriously needs more at LB and DB. The team is getting butchered on Def.
Well it looks like we are going to get a look at someone else with Payne perhaps out for the rest of the year.He was solid today, I think everyone pretty much has it correct in that he was good in the first half, gone in the 2nd. But he & Demeco need help. In Particular, on the DL , I don't think Payne is the answer in the middle, he's not pushing the pile so those other guys can "twist" effectively".
This is my first post in about two weeks but here it goes...... First of all, i'm no Bush fan but his presence on the Saints offense is very apparent. To say he hasn't done anything for their offense would be like saying Mario isn't doing anything by not recording a sack. Bush is a decoy and is being used as such right now. But I do agree with you about Brees. And i'll go on record as saying I was impressed with the effort Mario gave today.Yeah I will say it. If the Saints drafted Mario they would have been 5-1.

Ten words and they have nothing to do with Mario Williams and everything to do with why the Texans lost.wow - the Texans lost 34-6 and the best you can say is "he came close to getting a sack"? Did we watch the same game?
I was at the game today. It's the first game I've been to in a long time so I might not be used to seeing what I was seeing but...I didn't get to see the game today. How did Mario look? I saw his stat line was a little more impressive than usual but what else besides that did he do?
With 100% certainty.Mario made an impact in the first half but like the rest of the Texans, were MIA in the 2nd half. Embarassing team effort in the 2nd half highlighted err lowlighted by the play of the anemic secondary...Robinson, Sanders, and PBurnt are laughable. Bledsoe could have had 6 TDs today if he would have been on his game, which he was not.
In closing, Mario is a work in progress and the early returns have been somewhat lacking especially considering Bush has 'helped' turn a 2-14 team into a 5-1 team. Troll me if you want, but Mario's play will always be linked with Bush. Can anyone tell me with a straight face that the Saints would be 5-1 if they drafted Mario instead of Bush? Isn't winning whats all about. Measurables and stopwatches are for strippers and track stars. I feel Bush would have impacted our team more THIS year and I am sick of projects and 5 year plans.....win today worry about tomorrow later..
doug ftw
For the love of God....... in the second half, they had scoring drives of 23 yards, 40 yards, and 28 yards....... & you blame Mario??"And the Houston Texans with the #1 pick, select

Being used as a Decoy??This is my first post in about two weeks but here it goes...... First of all, i'm no Bush fan but his presence on the Saints offense is very apparent.

Yeah, you need to do more then average 3 yards a carry and 7 a catch to be worthy of "decoy" status.Being used as a Decoy??
are you serious?? they are putting the ball in his hands, and all that stuff you saw on the highlight films are not happening. I counted 3 third & shorts(& I didn't watch the whole game) that he wasn't even on the field. Why wouldn't you have your decoy on the field in third & short situations??
Reggie Bush is, and has been a non-factor for the newOrleans saints.
they use JoeHorn as a Decoy, and Duece McAllister as a decoy. but when they put the ball in there hands, they do something with it to warrant beeing used as a decoy.
whew ... time out. admittedly i'm a homer, but payne the best DT we've got, especially when it comes to "pushing the pile". replay barber's touchdown, payne is the only texan that ended up in the backfield. payne commands double teams and that's why he got the holding penalty ... both the LG and C made it their mission to tackle payne. seriously, payne is the only real run stuffer on the texans, and with his reported injury, we might not have one at all. johnson & johnson combined dont generate the push that payne does.He was solid today, I think everyone pretty much has it correct in that he was good in the first half, gone in the 2nd. But he & Demeco need help. In Particular, on the DL , I don't think Payne is the answer in the middle, he's not pushing the pile so those other guys can "twist" effectively".
