Williams will be given every chance

Now, does anyone besides me think that Smith is talking just just as much about Reggie, as he is about Mario?"You don't find guys with his size that have that much athletic ability," Texans defensive coordinator Richard Smith said. "He's a conscientious guy, he's not an arrogant guy, he's a guy that accepts coaching. When you've got that kind of player, then it's our jobs as coaches to continue to develop him."
That was interesting. Haven't heard of that one.Williams has been challenged more mentally than physically. Coaches have asked him to learn both defensive end positions and to be prepared to move to tackle on passing downs.
Coming soon: Mario Williams drops into pass coverage.
"That's not a problem unless I get someone who can run a 4.1," Williams said jokingly. "I've got to adjust. It's kind of a tough thing, but it's something I'm going to take with open arms."
Good luck on your next interview with Van Gundy, Richard.Asked to evaluate himself, Williams said: "I could have done a lot better. I was jitterish. I didn't know what to expect. In a preseason game, you don't know who's playing and you don't play long enough to get a rhythm and pick up things. It was all right for a first game."
If he's bothered by the Vince-Reggie-Mario debate, he's not showing it. He has been prepped on these kinds of questions, so I was unable to ambush. Just goes to show the interview tactic that works on an easy mark like Jeff Van Gundy won't work on everybody.
