How to counter a pass rushing de. Lesson 1. Double team. Lesson two. Not everyteam will need to double him. Lesson three. Get the first down on second down. Lesson four. Screen plays. Lesson five. Bootlegs. Lesson six. Run at him. Lesson seven. Pass to his side.

Basic point hes a pass rusher not a every play type. He cant even rush to the inside. How many sacks is he going to get at most 1 out of 20. You are going to see that a shut down cb is way more important than a pass rusher that will not even play that much cause the rest of the deffence wont cause the opposing team to use him when there running the ball down your throat like they did all last season.
 
How many third down situations are there in a game 20 to 30. So thats 25 times 16 thats 400. Lets see 54 mill for 6 years. Thats 9 mill a season so thats 22500 per play hes getting paid. What a waste of cash. So thats maybe 2 sacks a game maybe. That would be 32 a season. When He only had 16 in 36 games. Hmm Raise that Eyebrow. If somehow he pulled that off it would be 281250 a sack.

On the other hand if reggie signed for that same deal. How many yards and Tds could he get and how much would you pay him per. Seems hes gas millage is alot cheaper for the production.

...sorry, but Mario was good against the run in college, especially for stopping runners for losses--set NCS records for this. Unlike Peek, Mario is versatile and is an 'all-around' line man that can play any position on the line at a high level. People like Peek and Babin should benefit from his play.
 
wow, I agree with a tsip!

How do you stop a RB?? Put 8 in the box. Unless you are DD, then you can't be stopped!!

I would love to see 8 in the box aganst us. Put 8 in the box to stop Reggie from running the ball... leaving 3 defensive players to stop AJ, Moulds and Putzier. Then Reggie would need to be covered after running by the LB or safety (who would first need to break off a block from our O lineman). I like our odds in that situation. Single coverage or a very soft zone all season long on what could have been our 4 best offensive weapons.

(I am not knocking your post MikeMc... I believe I got the tone you were using, I was just using it to think about what could have been.)
 
So put DD in that statement, and you see why the Texans felt they needed to improve the Defense after getting Putzier, Moulds and Flanagan to help the Offense.
 
Davis is a good back, but the one thing he is lacking is break away speed to get seperation from the DB. And he does not give the threat of breaking a long run so defenses will not need to worry about stacking the box.

If we were going on pure need - where was D'Brick during any of the evaluations.

Except by a hangnail that will keep him out for a couple games a year.
 
just my opinion, but breakaway speed is overrated. quickness, leg drive, vision, cutting are all more important than a 4.3 40.

the way i see it - even if he gets caught from behind after 12 yards, you still got a first down and keep their defense on the field.
 
Mario is strong enough and quick enough coming off the line to break the double team. Plus if they are doubling him then that means someone else will be free. If we can add a stud safety, we are in business. Any Polamalu's coming out any time soon?

Great question: Look towards Donte Whittner/Darnel Bing in the second; Ko Simpson, Daniel Bullocks in the third.
 
As a couple of folks seem to be making a big deal out of the spelling of defense, well, it depends on where your from as to how it's spelled. Actually, most of the english speaking world spells it defence and in the US it's spelled defense....so, really everyone is correct.
