OK, I finally came to terms and appreciate the drafting of Mario Williams about a week after the draft. However with the recent developments in the recent practices I'm a little bit puzzled.
1) Why did we pay Anthony Weaver DE money if we are just going to use him as another DT? We already have Robaire Smith, Travis Johnson, & Seth Payne. And indications are Mario will be at one end and Peek/Babin at the other. I think we would have been fine with Weaver at one end and Peek/Babin at the other.
2) It sounds like DD's injury is more serious than initially reported. Kubiak does not like Morency and feels he doesn't fit our system. So now we are scrambling to find some scrubs like Antowain Smith & Micheal Bennett to pick up the slack? This makes passing on Reggie Bush even more questionable.
Please don't misunderstand me, I'm not bashing the decisions that have been made, but with these developments it really makes me wonder if the Texans really picked Mario "because he was the best fit for the team" or if there was some other factor (signability) that was the main reason.
It seems to me they were gearing up to draft Reggie with their other FA signings and are now having to do a complete 180 after picking Mario.
If they knew they were going to stick with DD, why didn't they sign Bennett early in free agency? Because they thought they would have Reggie? Now we are going to have to give up a draft pick if we want him.
Things that make you go hmmmmmm????
