Mario looked lost today .. learning curve that I hope he picks up within 3 weeks
Love Mario, but if he isn't capable of playing in a 3-4, Reed is plenty talented enough to do so
With that said, it's the 1st pre-season game, smart guy
Not being hateful but there is nothing to base that on.Watt does look pretty good, but we shouldn't trade Mario. He's a little confused right now, but he'll get better.
Mario is a top tier END, he has done zero as an OLB. I'm willing to give him time but let's stick to facts. Watt has replaced him at DE so either Mario goes back to end (if he does not get better) and we rotate Smith/Watt & Mario & I'm ok with that if Reed & Barwin can hold the starter roles as OLB or we trade Mario to a 4-3 team like Pats for two second round picks.ok watt is a DE, Mario is now an OLB, who do u propose take marios spot ? Brooks reed ? Mario is a top tier player and our FO would be crazy to trade him. :wadepalm:
Because Watt looks good enough to be an every down player @DE & Mario's $14million is too much to be a rotational guy. I could be ok with it but hate to see that. I would take two 2nds right now but get more later in season.Why trade him? If he can't play OLB, then just move him back to DE.

How can Mario get lost, when his only job is to rush the qb? What's the confusion there?
In this defense, the DT and DEs will prob not get their number called much. You just have to watch their play and see if they are taking up the blocks and tying up the Oline allowing LBs to disrupt the QB. I'd say the line is doing their job very well.I disremember Watt's number being called. What do you mean by looking good?
That is almost as dumb as something Dex would say.Everything is dependent on his cap number. If it is 13 million you could improve the team this year. If it is only 2 million then not as big a deal. I really don't care if I save McNair money, I only care if it makes the Texans more competitive.
Sure if the other team is OLB heavy, but we need to reduce costs next season. Remember, Mario is gonna want a big old contract re-newal if he gets any sacks this season.Can't you trade him for a REAL OLB that can help this year and maybe get draft choice or another quality player?
I don't understand your comment?That is almost as dumb as something Dex would say.

I'm sorry.I don't understand your comment?
OK, here is where I'll probably vote against you. I have to be a gambling man now. Wade Phillips (I trust his eval) says Williams will be good OLB. Even though I said earlier I'd take two 2nds now, I misspoke. I'll gamble Willams will get better especially as D gets better acclimated. I am not against a trade but think deal gets better after say regular game 6 and he has 5-6 sacks and is blowing up the run as he usually does.That is exactly why we trade him now. He won't be worth a big contract from us so we end up losing him and get whatever. I think we got a seventh or something when we lost Dunta. Right now we improve our team if we trade, later we get much less. Maybe during season would work too.
This thread is ridiculous. It's preseason.
Pretty damn close to negative rep for stupidity.
If you negative rep someone for stating their opinion, you should be banned from the board. That is the entire purpose of this site to talk about what we want not what you think is ridiculous.This thread is ridiculous. It's preseason.

Schaub looks good. What do you think we could get for Andre?
Chill out man, I'm not the one starting a thread to trade Mario after 15 minutes of preseason football. We all shouldn't get too high or too down over one preseason game. I think this is just overkill and I rarely use that word.If you negative rep someone for stating their opinion, you should be banned from the board.

Boy, this thread didn't take long. Shocker...

It is a message board but common sense should account for something here. We're supposed to be educated fans. It's one freaking preseason game!
Yes, if someone want to discuss each player's trade value, why not? We discuss what we want to see from almost every player. If you don't want to play, go home. And who are you to say what post is shitty? Just because you disagree? Why can we give our pros and cons rather than attack someone?A shitty post is still a shitty post even if it does happen to be an opinion. Should we discuss what each player could possibly get us in a trade? We might be here for awhil3.
If hardtop gave actual logical analysis beyond "I watched him for years" people wouldn't be 4esponding in such a negative light.
We're all allowed to voice our opinions and I simply voiced mine. I really don't care if you support me or not.The issue is the person starting the thread is voicing his opinion and you call him stupid and ridiculous. Come hard with your opinions on Mario's worth to team & I'll support you. Educated fans have debated Mario's worth since he was drafted. Probably only Okoye and Carr have been debated more so your comments are objectionable much more so than the opinion of the thread. Anyway, do your thing. I am off to sleepy land.
