Texans Fans / Mario Williams

so I would say HOUSTON was not against Mario, national/local media and dopey fake fans were against him

Yank, where do you think "dopey fake fans" come from? Our fans were brutal, and still are. When they stood up for VY at that game, screaming his name, wearing his jersey, acting like FOOLS over a flippin football player that was playing FOR THE ENEMY, I wanted to vomit! In my 50+ years of being a diehard football fan I've never seen anything like that, and hope to never see it again! How do you think Mario, and the rest of the team felt that day watching THEIR fans turn against them. I was there! I watched half the BULLPEN go ape**** over VY running that TD, as well as security guards pushing Texan fans back so Titan fans could get close to the rail. I was bound and determined to stand my ground and NOT ALLOW a Titan fan past me, and was told by PAUL to move aside and leave them alone, OR ELSE HE WOULD HAVE ME EJECTED FROM THE GAME!! Yea, fond memories of TEXAN fans that day!! If I felt so abused, as a fan, I just wonder how our players felt that day, esp Mario!
 
Mario may not have lived up to his status as the number 1 pick in the draft, but he was still a damn good DE. He had to be double teamed or else he was in their backfield. And he was a damn good run stopper.

It's to bad he left, but he would have cost more than he was worth here considering we have good replacements for him. I was one of those that wanted VY, but had no problem selecting a good DE for such a horrible defense like we had at the time.

But he's gone, like a lot of other players we admire now that will be playing for other teams before their careers are over with.
 
If not for my Mario Sucks threads, he would've never got the fat payday he got.

He was good while here, he went and got paid. He no longer wears a Toro but a Buffalo on his helmet and, to me, that puts his replica jersey in the trash can.

I would posit that the people you describe are not really Texans fans. A LOT of people sold their tickets for that game to VY fans and Texas fans who could give two sh%ts about the Texans (but may have jumped on the bandwagon since then).

If anyone you actually know was cheering, well, I hope you called them out.

Remember, it was near the end of a 6-10 season, the stands were mostly empty and tickets were readily available.

Agree on everything except the "might not have lived up to" part. I don't see anyone taken in the first round I'd trade for, except maybe Cutler and that's projecting him to be much better under Kubiak's tutelage. (EDIT:Missed Ngata)

ST is right in a lot of respects, but there was also a national media consensus that the Texans blew that pick big time. They were laughing at us for a while there.

I remember that POS Len Pasquarelli saying it was a "Texas Sized blunder". **** him and **** the media in 2006. We still won that ****.

For me though, it was (VY = out of question and closer to draft) :

1. Bush
2. Ferguson
3. Mario
4. Trade

I didn't see MW play in college, but saw highlight videos. After those, I was Bush, Mario, Ferguson, trade. Knew trade was unlikely because no one wanted it. I was stunned when we did the deal for Mario (more so because I trash talked everyone about how Bush would carve their defenses up :lol: ), but I was cool with it.

I am going to respectfully agree and disagree. Yes I believe in bad seasons tickets have been sold or given away to either opposing fans or less enthusiastic fans. In not having missed any Texan game yet I don't think any game hasn't had a peak attendance of about 70%. Yeah plenty of games where people have showed up late and/or left early but really I think the Texans have had excellent attendance. Under Capers they had the it is a young team loyalty thing going. Under Kubiak they have the we could score at any moment thing going. Or make up whatever interests you, people have attended the games not just bought the tickets although certainly attendance could be higher.

Personally I blame actual attendence on corporate ownership of seats. Over the past fifteen years I have frequently been assigned to find homes for corporate seats (not my own because they are damn well getting used) for both the Astros (like 9 rows up directly behind home plate), Rockets (court side) or Texans and had a hard time finding takers. And then to my great disappointment I would find out the people didn't even use them. Well f#$k if I had known that I would have given them to a buddy who was motivated enough to use them. I'd much rather get a ticket to a friend than some non-caring corporate employee who doesn't even give a rat's butt.
 
This article is a joke. The only person I remember being seriously miffed about the pick in '06 was Mattress Mack and his furniture sucks anyway.

Mario Williams was a damn fine player who was the victim of injuries and high expectations. I would wish him success in Buffalo, but for obvious reasons I already wish an eon of fail on the Bills; so I will only wish him good health and a long career. Happy trails.
 
NFL.com did a 2006 draft top 10 re-do a while back:

1. Houston Texans
Actual pick: Mario Williams
Do-over pick: Williams

Houston got it right with Williams, who is a physically imposing defensive end. He had a career-high 14 sacks in 2007 and followed that up with a 12-sack season, but hasn't registered a double-digit sack season since. The Texans never got the guy opposite him to take full advantage of Williams' skill set.

2. New Orleans Saints
Actual pick: Reggie Bush
Do-over pick: Maurice Jones-Drew

Jones-Drew came out of UCLA with a big chip on his shoulder, and the first time I interviewed him after the draft he proclaimed that he was better than Reggie Bush. The numbers don't lie at this point: Bush has 4,232 total yards and 29 touchdowns; MJD has 7,347 total yards and 61 touchdowns. Enough said.

3. Tennessee Titans
Actual pick: Vince Young
Do-over pick: Jay Cutler

Tennessee gave mixed messages after drafting Young. Owner Bud Adams wanted him, and it sounded like the coaches were in favor of Leinart. Remember, former USC offensive coordinator Norm Chow ran the Titans' offense at the time and had worked with Leinart in college. The club probably should have selected the local favorite from Vanderbilt, Jay Cutler.

4. New York Jets
Actual pick: D'Brickashaw Ferguson
Do-over pick: Ferguson

The Jets were training on Long Island when they drafted Ferguson, who grew up five miles from the facility. I've said it many times: A solid offensive tackle is a safe pick. The Jets protected him for a few years while he gained strength and improved his technique. He has started all 80 games that he has been with the Jets and has just nine holding calls against him.

5. Green Bay Packers
Actual pick: A.J. Hawk
Do-over pick: Vernon Davis

A.J. Hawk is a solid player, but whether it was Brett Favre or Aaron Rodgers, Vernon Davis would be a weapon with Tony Gonzalez-like production at this point. Davis, even without the quarterback situation that exists in Green Bay, has done pretty well for himself in San Francisco, but who knows what his numbers could look like with Rodgers?

6. San Francisco 49ers
Actual pick: Vernon Davis
Do-over pick: Haloti Ngata

Obviously, Davis has been a solid pick for the 49ers, but it might have been wise to select Ngata, who has become one of the most dominating defensive linemen in the NFL. Ex-coach Mike Singletary might still be in San Francisco if he had built the defense around Ngata.

7. Oakland Raiders
Actual pick: Michael Huff
Do-over pick: Brandon Marshall

Huff has been an average safety at best and is probably done in Oakland. Marshall, meanwhile, already has three seasons of 100-plus receptions, all in the same division as the Raiders while with the Broncos. Owner Al Davis would have never traded Marshall, who would have reminded every Raiders fan of Tim Brown.

8. Buffalo Bills
Actual pick: Donte Whitner
Do-over pick: Greg Jennings

Whitner started out well as a rookie, but recently he looks like a guy no longer in the Bills' plans, especially with a new contract due soon. Jennings has become an elite wide receiver, and if he was teamed up with Lee Evans there would be no reason for talk of a new quarterback. Ryan Fitzpatrick would be up around 25 touchdowns per season.

9. Detroit Lions
Actual pick: Ernie Sims
Do-over pick: Nick Mangold

Sims is already gone from Detroit, while Mangold is going to be an All-Pro 10 times over. Mangold would make the run game better and anchor a pass-blocking unit that might do a better job of keeping Matthew Stafford upright -- and healthy.

10. Arizona Cardinals
Actual pick: Matt Leinart
Do-over pick: Tamba Hali

Leinart is the third-string quarterback in Houston right now, which is really all you need to know. The Cardinals are still looking for outside linebackers to rush the passer, and Hali has become a premiere rusher since the Chiefs went to a 3-4 scheme -- just like the Cardinals want to run.

The reaction the board had once he officially left says it all right there. Those wanting the guy back were definitely in the minority and in the end most were just "eh'" about him either way. Dude was always on the outside looking in houston....even if some fans weren't willing to admit it. So yeah, there's some level of truth to what the writer is saying, but it is overplayed a little.

After the national media hurled streams of baseless criticism at the Texans FO for not validating the media's own narrative of Reggie Bush as the next OJ Simpson, Texans fans naturally defaulted to the position of defending the Mario pick.

But six years later, it didn't seem there was a justifiable return for the premium being paid. That has a lot to do with injuries, but Zierlein identifies another important reason:

There are questions about how much Mario Williams loves football.*He has buddies who he rides (motorcycles) with who seem to believe that football is what he does for a living but it isn’t what he loves.*That bothers me* I think it is important that your core players eat and sleep football and that they love it.*Mario has never really been that guy.

Brian Cushing is the opposite of this. If Cushing's contract weren't extended, you'd see torches and pitchforks. But if your $80 million player lacks passion, it's no surprise when his exit is passionless.

But see comments like LZ's are why i always end up defending this guy when i don't really mean to. Just b/c the guy has hobbies that he enjoys outside of football doesn't mean that he doesn't love football. I sat & specifically watched mario play here for 6 years & there was no indication that the guy was just out there to go thru the motions and get paid. When he got sacks and made plays, he was just as fired up as all the other sack specialists around the league.

You can still be a great player in this league without being one of those guys who doesn't know what do with onesself during the offseason and after your playing career is over. Barry Sanders was not an overly fiery player & he never engaged in silly dances and antics every time he juked someone out of his jock strap....Yet nobody questioned his love of the game when he walked away in his prime with the all-time rushing record within his reach....even though he has stated time and again in subsequent interviews that his loss of love for it is the exact reason why he retired. The same for guys like Jim Brown who left football to pursue his acting career, and Namdi Asomugha and his ACTS foundation that he participates in heavily in the offseason.

If anything, the ability of these guys to have separate identities away from the game should be commended b/c more than anything it probably signifies that they don't carry themselves like the typical entitled "star"....**coughs** Brett Favre.

It's funny how a guy changes his tune once his paychecks stop from Company A and he starts receiving them from Company B, isn't it?

THAT, IMO, is the definitive proof that Mario doesn't care about football. He cares about Mario. It's the perfect example of what LZ was saying: Mario doesn't have a passion for football, it's just the job he has in order to pay the bills so he can do the other things he likes to do.

Guys who respect the game, they don't tweet nonsense like Mario did. They understand that you move on. Yes, you should be motivated to play well against your former team...but to make it some sort of apex or pinnacle of your career??? No. It shows that he is only loyal to the green. So he was never really one of us, he was just on Team Mario all along.

Bradie James comes in and says "I understand I will have a limited role. That's OK with me. I just want to give veteran leadership because I remember what it was like to be young and not have that from the veterans above me." Paraphrased, of course. Mario would be a guy, IMO, who at the end of the day doesn't care to pass on any sort of legacy to younger players, or to help them, etc. He's on Team Mario. Team Mario is all that matters.

I've been over this at length, in prior posts about this topic, but I say it again: If all things were equal--the money from Texans was the same as the offer from the Bills--would he have left Houston for Buffalo? No. Not on your life. But he got paid more, a lot more, and that's the reason he left. Not because he loves football and wants a ring with Houston (who picked him above two other guys). No, he wants the cash. And guys like that have a funny way of being absent when it's time for them to answer the bell on game day.

He had a problem getting motivated and fired up, to perform his absolute best, when he was with the Texans. Outside of playing us in November, what other ways will Mario use to motivate himself now that he's the richest guy in the NFL? He's maxed out, and he knows it. I expect him to have a lackluster season. But...after all, he's adjusting back to the 4-3 Defense ya' know. It will take some time for him to acclimate to the weather, too. Yada, yada, yada....
 
I think if the Texans made the same offer as the Bills he still might habe split...

It was the perfect storm... The dude was drug through the coals by a very vocal minority... I don't think he really felt appreciated in Houston from day one... then he had to stand on the sidelines for 11 games and watch the D succeed without him, becoming one of the best Ds without him...

So he had to hear the fans not appreciating him (though a minority), then actually see the defense not need him...

In the end, it was a no-brainer he'd go IMO...

With that said, he needs a good helping of stfu come November... I was wishing the guy well, but he's beeing a whiney little beotch...

His outside interests aren't really the point. The point is that he seemed to lack passion for the game. That lack of passion was always sensed by fans, but was never openly discussed because of avoidance of accusations of unfair criticism (or validating VY fanboys and media). But the feeling permeated, and it was a sense of oddness that a man with his physical ability was not among the most feared pass rushers in the game. He was indeed dominant at times, but if a pass rusher with his measurables --if he passionately loves the game-- has an appetite to destroy, then that appetite would be satisfied regularly. But he didn't, and that is why his name does not trigger the same response as names like Jared Allen or Demarcus Ware.

Note one of the positives from Zierlein's assessment of Mario:

* Mario’s long arms allow him the opportunity to be elite when it comes to setting the edge against the run. He rarely gets pushed very far off of his spot vs. the run, so it is tough to find substantial running lanes to his side at any point.
Click to expand...

He addresses Mario's superior physical attribute, and then the potential it provides. After six years of watching Mario Williams, Zierlein speaks of his elite status conditionally, not factually. That says it all right there.
 
Am I the only one that wants to punch Charlie Casserly in his smug face every time he comes on the CBS pre-game show and is titled the "GM expert"?

He is such a worthless piece of crap and its no suprise he is still out of work as a GM. That article makes me sick to my stomach. The only thing he ever did good for Houston was draft Mario. That still doesnt make up for his horrible picks for the previous 5+ years.
 
**** Him!!! He's a punk-ass beyotch (with his comments) and now on my twitter "****-list"!!

Blew him up earlier and continuing now on blowing him up.... As SecondHoneymoon (aka @CardinalDoug on Twitter) can attest to.

*EDIT*
@DougVanHorne
 
I wonder why he even gives a ****. He knows and pretty much everyone in the league knows (besides buffalo) that they couldn't afford that contract.

On a side note , I don't recall Mario being to lively on twitter while with the Texans (I don't have twitter and don't follow it, but I don't recall anyone posting his tweets before he went to buffalo )

Anyway I guess it would be interesting to see him become the first 100 million dollar man to not make the playoffs. I do think he will get their eventually being the patriots ought to start declining being Brady is getting long in the tooth! Jets will implode, and the dolphins are the dolphins

Lance isn't anymore credible than you or i when speaking on this issue b/c he was mainly watching the games on the tube just like we were. Mario's inconsistency dominating can be attributed to being injured a little too much more than anything else. The years he wasn't injured, he did dominate.....which is why coaches and GM's around the league still consider him a premier pass rusher in this league.

This is why I completely understood dalemurphy's main point (worth vs. production) about the whole mario debate despite us disagreeing on whether we should bring him back or not. The whole "motor" & "passion" thing though has always been something that has been overplayed here simply b/c his production hasn't matched up with what he was being paid then or his physical attributes. guys who lack passion for the game don't show up to training camp every year chizzled from granite like he did every year he was here..they don't play thru injuries all the time like he did & they certainly don't put up the sack totals in his 2 best injury-free seasons here that he did.

The overall point i'm trying to make is, you can't really make any sweeping generalizations about what's in a guy's heart/mind unless he's out there just completely dogging it......which mario wasn't.
 
Interesting to go back and read some of Mario's draft profiles.

Teaming with Manny Lawson, Mario Williams has helped give NC St. the most feared edge rush duo in college football. As a freshman in 2003, Williams made an immediate impact. For the year he tallied 56 tackles, 13 for loss, and five sacks. He was named to everyone’s Frosh All American lists. As a sophomore, his numbers were almost identical. He finished with 57 tackles, 15 for loss, and six sacks. Williams upped his output for the season finishing with 62 tackles, 24 for loss, and 14.5 sacks.

There may not be a better physical specimen at any position in the draft. Williams has fantastic size for a defensive end, but couples that with supreme athleticism. He draws a lot of comparisons to Julius Peppers for his size and athleticism combination. Mario has the quickness off the line, the ability to change direction, and the closing speed to be a major factor as a pass rusher. But his height and bulk allow him to be a force against the run as well.

Despite being so talented, Williams has not dominated like he should. He just seems to disappear at times. For how big and athletic he is, he should just own opposing tackles. Perhaps that is because he still relies on his athleticism to make plays. Whatever the reason, it does cause some concern.

Williams may end up being the first defensive player selected in April. His upside is that tremendous. He is not as good a prospect as Julius Peppers was, because along with all his talent, Peppers dominated games too. But, the ability is there. Mario is a top 10 lock, and should land in the Top five of the draft.

Maybe not, but I can confirm what LZ has said. I have a friend who met Mario 4-wheeling and dirtbiking somewhere in the city. They became friends and my friend has been to his house several times.

My friend, for the record, isn't a sports fan at all, and has confirmed that Mario's primary interests in life are cars and 4-wheeling toys.

Whether this is important to his football play is another debate. But, LZ's claims are true.
 
If all he heard was negative, I'd say "hear what you want to" in response.

I've had his jersey for a while now. And when he comes in a different jersey to play for a different team? I'm going to burn it in the parking lot to appease the football gods, chug a beer and go scream my heart out for the only team I'd do such a thing for.
 
When I purchased a jersey, I only considered a #80.

#90 was never an option because, quite frankly, I never felt like he gave a crap about football, nor about the Texans, to the same degree that #80 does.

I am glad I never bought a #90. To me, there was just always something off about him.

I think this is a big deal. Desire is what makes decent good, and good great, and great legendary.

I think the current front office recognizes this with players like Watt.

I don't know if Smithiak would have drafted Carr or Williams for that reason alone.
 
Mario reminds me of Dwight Howard. You look at Dwight Howard and think, this is a man among boys, he must dominate the game every night and put up 40&20. But he does not, and although he is still a great player, he will never get the undying praise from the fans and there will always be doubts about effort and passion.

I think the drafting of Carr was a business decision. A new franchise needs a face of the franchise to sell tickets and publicity, and that resulted in Carr over peppers. Just like Jax taking a qb with their first selection in the expansion draft and the panthers drafting Kerry Collins with their first pick, a qb is a business decision, not a football decision, for a new franchise

So basically he thinks the fans hated him his whole time here. Because he begins by saying that the fans have received him in Buffalo to a degree he hasn't felt since college.

Then he says he has good memories of the Texans coaches/organization and appreciates all they did while he was there.

Fans = suck

Coaches = great

Why does he have this inferiority complex with the Texans fans? It feels so manufactured. But yet I sense he REALLY believes himself when he says it.

What an odd bird. I think he just has to find a chip to put on his shoulder. He's too big a puss to say anything about former coaches...so he lays his guilt trip onto the fans since they can't do anything to him. He has to look former coaches in the eye, he has to go shake their hands after the game, but he can say whatever he want about us fans and there's no repercussions. That's my theory.

What a puss. Just be a good sport, Mario. Nobody hated you here. We hated the state of the organization, not the players. You want to see some hate? Look at David Carr and Dunta Robinson. THOSE are two guys we loathed and were glad to see leave. Mario, just shut your pie hole about the Texans fans. Geez.

He's going to get boo'd for what he's saying about us, and then he can point to it and say, in an ESPN interview "You saw how they boo'd me when I came back. You see why I said what I said about the fans? They turn on you. That's how they are." All of this crap he's pulling right now, it dove tails right into what he wants to happen. He WANTS this to happen, to show how great he is and how bad he was treated when in Houston.
