Just re-watched NO, Pitt, Balt, and...

Wait what?! That Baltimore game was one of his laziest performances! Did you see the way he chose to sit while he drank his Gatorade opposed to standing?? What a lazy bum. The performance he turned in today that lead to the Panthers marching off 28 points on us was almost as bad as that Baltimore game. I noticed he chose not to tuck his shirt in. With a little extra effort he could have had that shirt placed nicely within his waistband.

I never said anything like that.
 
Cush was making a joke being Mario was injured in the Oakland game and didn't suit up for the ravens game

I never criticized Mario's performance during the Baltimore game. I was re-watching games for reasons having nothing to do with Mario and those were the three I went through so far. What I noticed is the difference in consistent effort between Mario and the rest of the front seven.

As someone showed with some highlights from the Steelers' game, Mario can give good effort. When he does, there are often good results. Unfortunately, most of the time he's jogging around and hand-slapping. Watch Watt, Smith, Reed, Barwin, Cushing, Ryans... those guys are going 100% almost every play until the whistle blows (or slightly after).

Your OP says this:
Mario simply doesn't hustle. He's not physical and only gives good effort when he is put in a situation where he has an advantage and opportunity to make a play. I've never seen a player jog and trot on the field as much as he does. After wathching a physical and aggressive defense the past two months, his laziness really pops on the screen. Those of you who doubt this, go back on watch these games.

The funny thing about the internet is you can't bullshit and act like you never said it. It's all recorded right here for everyone to read, and the more you act like we're the idiots who can't read what you wrote, the dumber you look.
 
Just to clarify some things.

Dale is not a troll or some irate fan that is out to slash Mario Williams in the middle of the night.

He's been a stubborn opinionated Texan fan since their inception and comes off very strong a lot, but he is a dedicated fan that has a lot of passion for this team. I've argued with Dale for years over many subjects mainly being about the coaching staff and management and he has stuck his neck out in the past for a lot of under achieving players and coaches. He usually supports guys to long or puts guys on high pedastools that aren't prolific players out of high hopes for Texans players, so it's not like his passion to discredit Mario Williams is some consistent thing where he's just anti/Texan or hates on this organization a lot. I can speak with a lot of confidence that he's probably watched more film on Mario Williams than most people in here to have such a strong disdain for Mario's play on the field. I don't agree with it completely, but he has made some valid points in the past regarding Mario. Whether he is right or wrong, he is not a troll or some Anti/Texan fan that bitches just to *****.

Tell you what, Dale - since you want us to re-watch these games and are making what is largely accepted as an asinine assertion, provide time stamps and analysis. 76Texan often provides video still shots, time stamps, down and distance info, and analysis. So agree with him or not, you have to respect the way he's arguing his point. You're just throwing out BS assertions with nothing to back it up. General blanket statements don't work. Give us a list of 10 plays per game where you see Mario dogging it and tell us why you think he's dogging it on those plays. Also tell us what you think he should have been doing on those plays.

Then we'll compile all that and submit your resume to the Texans.

We didn't have a chance without Mario in there.

Defensively, we played a pretty decent game. I still think our defense can win us a few games, a play-off game even.

It would help if our offense would stop turning over the ball. Vs Cincy, a fumble by that's at the goal line was the difference between scoring more than 20 & not.

This game, a red zone INT kept us from scoring 20. An early fumble by Foster spotted the Panthers 7 & another INT put them boys on Kirby in a tough situation.
 
Mario Demands a LT and TE two double him some of the time


Mario opens holes for everyone else

No one quite fears Barwin yet IMO

Exactly.

Witness Antonio Smith's production this year:

Week 1: sack
Week 2: sack
Week 3: sack
Week 4: sack
Week 5: .5 sack
Weeks-6-present: 0.

Hmmm, now what could have happened in week 5 to change things?

Must just be a coincidence.

No kidding.

I understand what Dale's getting at, but what he fails to account for is that the entire defense was also learning a NEW SYSTEM. You know, when you get more repetitions in a system you might *gasp* get better as time goes by.

Just Like A.J., Schaub & Foster...the Texans are a better weapon when he's on the field.
