Would like to have Williams
 

Doubt Saints will have the money after re-signing our FAs!!

ProFootballWeekly.com - What will Texans do with Mario Williams?

I would love to have Mario Williams. We need a big player addition to the defense either on the line or at linebacker.

I would be happy to ship someone like Will smith away if we got Mario Williams, make Will smith lower his pay because he isn't performing for how much he's earning.
Mario would be a great addition to the team

he is better than both will smith and cam jordan combined

ABSOLUTELY! We can't afford it, but we haven't had a dominate pass rusher for a while. Smith had a really good season in '09, but we've had a pass rushing drought for several seasons now. Maybe Smith will take a pay cut or just be replaced by Smith. Maybe Ellis gets a pay cut (his production this season doesn't live up to his pay check). Maybe Greer gets a cap friendly extension. A lot of maybes. I don't like our odds.

We totally can't afford him.

After missing all of last season with an injury, he will be cheaper than alot of people think. Signing him could be very possible if we were to lose, say......Will Smith.

If we decide to let Brees walk, we can afford him.

That will not happen! ;)

Exactly the point.

Mario is Reggie Bush on the Defense. Flashy can get six to eight sacks a season but no more. He is a warrior no doubt but more than likely injured and not effective in the long term

Mario is Reggie Bush on defense??? Other than being drafted in the same season, Mario is nothing like Reggie Bust! Williams averaged 10-12 sacks per season other than his rookie season & this year when he was out all season. He's been a monster for Houston, man & I was one that thought he was over-rated in college. Hell.....he had 5 sacks & a forced fumble this year & he only played in 5 games!

It be strange seeing him in Black & Gold. Good, but really strange.

I wouldn't kick him out of bed for eating cracker....

Uh Halo...a strange analogy for a big huge football lineman type...take backs allowed. I think of how good it would be to have him on our line you think of having him elsewhere. Things that make you go hmmmm!

its ok Halo, we have tolerance and diversity and all that crap around here.
we had a dress parade, for pete's sake.

I dont know about Mario? Does he still have it? Would he break the bank? sounds risky.

...and so would other 31 teams around the league, and many with the cap room to spend on such a purchase.

and we can have what we always wanted...a better d. Great point...ill write loomis and inform him. I think Canfield is ready

Well, Brees himself said in an interview during the pre-season that Daniel is a chubby version of him.

So, let Brees walk, get Daniel to shed a couple of pounds, and we're good to go!

I'm not SERIOUSLY hearing ANYONE ok with letting Drew go, am I? Cuz if that's so, I wanna know what you guys have been smoking??? ;) I think I'm a Drew fan for LIFE.....he better NOT go anywhere.

Going with the smoking theme...

No, you're not.

:crickets:

Williams would be super awesome. Guess it will have to remain an "if only"

Williams + Ahmad Brooks = LBs sorted.

I'd love to see Vilma work between those two guys as opposed to Shanle and Herring.

I mean, during the past 3 regular seasons ('09/'10/'11) those two guys have a combined sack production of half a sack per each game they played in.

That would be 8 sacks per regular season from the OLBs... I'd take that.

are you saying you dont think canfield is starting caliber???? he was 3-30 in the preseason. he has championship written all over him:dunce:

Unfortunately we can't afford him.imho

This guy has never lived up to his #1 overall pick & y'all want him on our team? Not me.

People on this,(and other) foums, said Bush was/is a bust and never lived up to his #2 pick either and he got to the NFCC game his rookie year and helped the Saints win a Super Bowl in '09!!

Bush has been a helluva lot more injury prone in his career with the Saints than Williams has with the Texans.

If the Saints can get him and keep Brees, Nicks, Colston and a majority of the other FAs, I am all for it.

Agreed. Gonna say this once: I'm glad Bush is gone, we have a cheaper, more integrated replacement in Sproles.

That said, BUSH IS NOT/WAS NOT A BUST! Now he's at Miami as their leading rusher......

When are people going to get over that fact. He's a successful starting runningback in the NFL. Nuff Said.

I would love to have Mario Williams. Mickey do your magic.

Probowl in 2007, 2008 and 2009, ALL-PRO in 2008 and 2009, averages 9.5 sacks per season, 46 tackles/season, 2 FF/season.

Is there some other Mario Williams you may be referring to?

I was thinking this same exact thing because going over his career stats it is very clear that he has been producing very good numbers starting with his rookie season, and better yet his production curve has been increasing - if it were not for his injuries this season I have no doubts that he would be in Hawaii right now.

Maybe because he plays for the Texans people overlook the level at which he plays?!

Shoulda drafted him in 06

I think that's a hard one to sell.

I still think Bush was the correct pick in that draft - he was drafted for what he was able to do: create overall excitement and pull off circus-like feats on the field.

How would we have done that? He was already picked.

A good write up of Reggie by Mel Kiper, on ESPN Insider:

:doh:

the only other people i would have wanted in that first round really were tamba hali and haloti ngata. other than that id take the bush pick. it set off a string of events that were more long term beneficial. ex: sproles
