Guys, you are so pesimistic. You have to remember that he is a rookie. He will get better as the season comes along. You cant expect him to have sacks yet. He is not a speed rusher. He is a power rusher and player who MUST use technique. he is very raw, but he has all the tools to be great with GOOD coaching.:challenge

Whoopee.

He's doing so "well" because so much stuff is getting past the d line.

It's sorta' like the cat sitting under the sink where you're cleaning/gutting some fish. He's going to get his dinner brought right to him.

Demeco (and ALL of our linebackers, for that matter) OUGHT to be racking up killer stats. They have the ball carrier in their face within 2 seconds of the snap.

Thomas Johnson :sarcasm:
"I was just being overly aggressive," said Johnson, who almost certainly will be fined by the league for the play. "I saw the quarterback, so I took a shot on him. I shouldn't have done it. I wasn't aware of the rule. You learn from mistakes. from http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/sports/4211357.html MORON

that's not how it works...if you have poor lineplay the dl can't keep the second level blockers off the linebackers.
 
HOUSTON--Texans defensive end Mario Williams, the number one pick in the 2006 draft, has struggled early on, recording no sacks and only six tackles in three games. Since he’s clearly having trouble learning the defensive system, head coach Gary Kubiak has devised a plan to slow things for the youngster: bench him for the rest of the season.

“We really need to slow the game down for Mario, to simplify things so he doesn’t have as much to absorb,” Kubiak said. “A lot of times for rookies, the game moves so fast it's hard for them to keep up. Right now the best way to slow things down for Mario is to keep him on the sidelines. It doesn’t get any slower than that. If it's still not slow enough, we might have to cryogenically freeze him until next season.”

The Texans took a lot of heat for selecting Williams over consensus number one pick Reggie Bush, who went to the Saints and has already shown flashes of the brilliance that made him the Heisman trophy winner last year.

Now, with Williams’ slow start, coach Kubiak is forced to defend the team's decision once again.

“It’s much harder for rookie pass rushers than it is for rookie running backs,” said Kubiak. “Reggie just has to take the ball and go make some plays. For Mario, he has to memorize where he’s supposed to be for a variety of defenses and he has to learn how to read the opponent's blocking schemes. That’s why you see so many defenders get lost in this league and so many running backs go on to highly decorated careers. So to answer your question, I have no idea why we selected Mario Williams.”

So u r not impressed with the play of Meco???
 
I thought I might put my :twocents: in....


Mario's inexperience is working against him right now. Teams are running a heck of alot of misdirection plays at him, and he is getting caught in overpursuit (i.e. the Portis draw play on Sunday). Also, he is getting locked with Offensive Linemen way to often. His technique in shedding blocks is not really good right now (i.e. the Sellers block of him near the goaline, when Betts scored on the cutback).


None of this makes him a bust or a player who's dogging it (Courtney Brown), It makes him and inexperienced, young rookie. The coaches really did him a disservice by shifting him up and down the line in the preseason. They should have left him in one spot, but that's another topic.

The bottom line is this. Imo, Mario is going to be a good to great defensive lineman, once he learns the proper techniques and recognition of plays. He really needs to be out on the field as much as possible, and not part of the Defensive Lineman rotation.

Again, just my :twocents:
 
Mario is not playing great and it shows. At least he's got the excuse of being a rookie!. There are other players who deserve more blame. Travis Johnson (1st round pick) hasn't shown anything. Isnt this supposed to be his breakout year? Jason Babin (another 1st round pick.) not exactly tearing anything up. Anthony Weaver (x years experience). What has he done? If these players were to play up to their supposed expectations maybe Mario could play up to our expectations! Give Mario a break and let him develop. I have a feeling a lot of people are going to be eating thier words. Also, blitzing more would really help in every way.

Seriously. This guy is a gamer, and is always around the ball. What more do you want from the dude? Do you really have to downplay his tackles because hes a texan?

He's the best LB on our team...which speaks volumes about how bad our other LBs are. We easily have one of the worst LBing units in the NFL. A rookie is our leader.

Congratulations, Demeco: You're getting ballcarriers in your grill on every play. Wouldn't it be nice, Demeco, if your d line played well enough to allow you to slip into the backfield and get some sacks or stops-for-zero-yards or even stops-for-losses?

He's talented. But he's reaping the benefits of a poor d line, too.

Well...I don't know how you can say that....I think with better line play he will get better....Im not sure how poor line play=good linebacker play....forget the tackles he makes or doesn't make...He's a talented playmaker...

Although I hope We draft a true MLB next year or pick one up via FA...I think Meco would better serve us playing WLB....

Good two cents and much more plausible than the standard Mario sucks.
