Practice Squad
The thing that amazes me more and more is that people are bashing passing up reggie bush and Vince Young.
The facts are quite simple. You draft for need. Not talent.
Texans have a good QB, two good WR's, a great RB, a good FB. Two good TE's. And maybe as many as three or four good TE's.
Drafting Putzier was smart because it helps beef up the line. While some additions were made to the o-line. The fact is guys like D-Brick and Nick Mangold woulda made the best choices.
Mario Williams is no doubt a good pick. He has the moves of Kearse. But he's younger and stronger. And that is dangerous.
But lets face it. The defense is pretty good already. The problem is, as we saw in philly, if your offense can't stay on the field than your D will be torn down.
A better O-line would have creating more time for the pass and better rushing lanes for Davis.
The fact is that RB and QB's rarely work out in the NFL. But the top lineman usually are at least quality starters.
Plus lineman can step right in and play.
The question i pose to you people is, are you happy with the offensive line you have? Facing in week one, Howard, Kearse, Bunlkey, Cole, Patterson, Walker, and Run stopping trotter. Plus a team that loves to send people like Brian Dawkins to blitz.
I think that if the o-line stands up to them. Than the Texans are going to have a great year. But i think more likely they will lose the game because of that weakness and the strength of the Eagles defense.And i think that mentally will impact the team badly.
so what do you think? is the o-line better, was williams the best choice, and can they take the eagles revamped d-line?
