Re: texans take a swipe at reggie......
 

I couldn't agree more with Tobias and SFIAH.

As far as Reggie as our every down guy... trouble (IMO).

As far as the quality of that pick: Reggie was instrumental to our making it to the Division Final! Where did Williams get the Texans?

Re: texans take a swipe at reggie......
 

These 2 players are going to be compared the rest of their careers. I don't want to get into a debate on who is better because it has yet to be played out. I don't even know if I would give an edge yet to a player either.

You can argue Reggie has more around him to get him to the NFC game, Colston was a huge part of that as weel.

Head to Head - 'Bush bowl' the edge went to Willimas/Houston.

Re: texans take a swipe at reggie......
 

Reggie is already a great player - right now, as previous posts in this thread have so eloquently pointed out. But he has the potential to be a truly phenomenal player, an incredible player, HOF all the way.

But I think he needs to work on the weights to reach his true potential. Right now, he goes down too easily when someone gets an arm on him. He can't run through tackles - he runs around them, or jumps over them. Fix that, and all this Mario talk will go bye-bye.

Bull-F'n-Crap!!!!

The Texans were afraid of the dollars it was gonna take to sign him and they couldn't get a contract done with him before the draft. That's the ONLY reason they went to MW. Kiss my butt Texans. Sure, wait three years to comment on why you didn't "pick" Reggie. Right!!!

What a punk way to pat yourselves on the back...

Re: texans take a swipe at reggie......
 

eh, idk where u get this from but talk to some linebackers in this leauge and they'll tell u reggie is hard as fuk to tackle.

look @ that atl game last season where u put it on those 2 or 3 falcon safetys/lbs/cbs.

i do agree that he has had a great career so far. those recieving yards are where its at, since those are mostly behind the line of scrimmage check downs and should pretty much be considered rushing yards, except that he isn't trying to run through the defensive line, but whats it matter as long as it works?

to me a rush for 4 yards and a checkdown for 4 yards are the same thing.

on 473 touches between rushes/receptions, he has 2305 yards. thats an average of 4.8 yards every time he touches the ball.

that's pretty good if you ask me. LT averages 4.9 yards in his entire career per reception or rush

i'm satisfied cuz reggie hasn't hit his football ceiling. tons of upside left, he can become even better, but right now i'm satisfied with our #2 pick.

Re: texans take a swipe at reggie......
 

nah their reasons were legit, they had a contract ready with reggie man

Re: texans take a swipe at reggie......

(1) Euph, on this one, we completely agree. Well said. I retract my earlier bold claim that compared Williams and Bush. I still, however, agree with the sentiment here - Bush is a pretty good football player.

(2) Guys, you have to watch your language. I suppose, we're all guilty of getting excited and typing somethings without considering the possibilty of a wide audience, but you'll have to hide the profanity a bit better than it has been here.
