As far as Bush goes; be happy that he's so great catching passes, because he sure isn't running the ball; he'll have a highlight here and there, but not much else....

No doubt! If I see that 70-yard punt return for a net 5-yard gain on ESPN one more time...

he was also a second round pick that was injured for most of his first year and was considered raw and a bit of a project. We are paying premium money to Williams at the top of the draft where you aren't supposed to be a project.

every rookie is a project, what league are you watching?

So far he's a major bust because the surface is so much faster than he played on in college most Saturdays. This league rewards speed rushers, little guys who can tunnel past OT's. I cannot believe the schedule that made our young team play in Indy the second week. Indy's surface is a lightening fast track. Putting Spencer up against the preeminent pass rusher on his home surface, poor kid. It makes me sick to death Spencer got hurt bad.

Again, Mario is looking to hook arms with guys and wrestle. He's a tackle in this league. He aint no edge rusher on a fast track. That would be the guys for Indy.

You have absolutely no clue...
 
I like Mario, but on game day the BEST need to be on the field NOW and Mario is not it. Weaver & Babin have sacks. Why not start with the players that have accomplished something in this league and bring in fresh-young legs if that doesn't work. Mario will learn more if the players he is working with are succesful.

I don't know if you knew this but...If you have the means go back and watch the Colts game...Mario would have had his first sack when Manning slid down, but he jumped over him and greenwood came in and touched him and got credit for the sack...Rookie Mistake...

1-10-IND18 (14:55) (Shotgun) P.Manning sacked at IND 18 for 0 yards (M.Greenwood).

Oh he will have a better shot. Especially since we are playing against immobile Mark Brunell.

Are we hoping he plays well against bad teams? or just wanting to try and get confidence for the future? He needs to play good against all competition. I want to see plays that make my eyes do this :yikes: . And I hope it doesn't just occur against Tenn.(bad team)

Seeing as he is 34, I would think it took him about 34 years to become the Michael Strahan of today...

This fufills my one jackass statement per day...sorry

OK....I drank the kool aid when we drafted Mario thinking he might be a stud. The first mistake of the new coaching staff. HE HAS NOT DONE ONE THING TO IMPRESS, and our defense gave up over 400 yards. Nice F%$#ing game Texans. We look like last seasonm. TEERRIBLE!

0-6 here we come

ok Mario might be a bust right now but say 2-3 years down the road he will get better and houston will not go 0-6

Whats Stallworth have to do with Bush? Stallworth was traded because they thought 7th round draft pick Colston could handle the job. Btw, Colston has caught 8 balls for 102 yards and 2 TD's. They also got MLB Simoneau in the trade, who has started both games at MLBer
for us..

I was hoping the Texans would have drafted Coulston. Of course this was before we acquired Moulds. I posted this in Feb. during draft discussions.

"Marques Colston
Wide Receiver

6-4, 230, Senior

Harrisburg, PA/Susquehanna Township H.S.

Fifth season on the Hofstra Football roster…Slated to return to a starting role at an outside receiver spot after missing the entire 2004 season with an injury…Solid pro prospect…Is a 2005 Preseason All-Atlantic 10 second team selection by I-AA.org…Needs 791 yards to break Charlie Adams’ Hofstra career receiving yards record…2004: Red-shirted the season with an injury…2003: Started all 12 games…Led team in receiving yards with 910 on 51 receptions…Averaged 17.8 yards per catch…Ranked fifth in the Atlantic 10 in receiving yards per game (75.8)…"


Post on Coulston

What film I've seen on him on espn looks real encouraging for the Saints.

:coffee:

Projects are supposed to be taken in the later rounds since they don't fry your cap waiting on them to "get it".

Stallworth would've had almost 200 yards on 8 catches...... but if you're happy with your trade off......... :ok:

Perhaps, but Stallworth would have walked for nothing at the end of the year (contract year and we wouldn't be able to match market value), so we decided to get something for him while we still could. He didn't want to be in N.O. anymore, he wanted a fresh start. I don't claim Mark Simoneau to have the same talent level as Stallworth, but we didn't trade Stallworth for Simoneau. We traded Stallworth for a 4th round (will become 3rd when he signs long-term) pick, with Simoneau thrown in. Trust me, nothing feels worse than letting talented high draft picks go, except getting nothing for them when they leave. We did it with LeCharles Bentley and Darren Howard, and I'm glad we didn't do it with Donte'.

And Colston is looking like the steal of the draft at this point, which certainly softened the blow. 7th round compensatory pick, talk about value.
 
I wonder if the average playing lifespan of a DE and a RB ever played into the considerations of our FO. Reggie Bush could be really good for a couple years until he loses a step and the defense gets much faster than him. A DE can be solid for nearly a decade. Of course both are purely hypothetical.

From the way the off season played i dont think that had anything to do from what has been reported it was all about money.
