he has no reason to lie, the texans gm who drafted mario williams over reggie resigned from the texans organization in 2006. hes currently employed by the NFL, not an nfl franchise. hes no longer a gm is what im saying.

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

dude.. a video of casey casserly saying they had an agreement with both players isnt proof..

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

....dude...thats what ive been arguing about this entire time...lol.

do you think hes lying? LOL. if so, dont bother replying, i dont care this much. if you're resorting to such speculation just so you don't lose an argument i find that ridiculous and won't stoop to such a level.

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

frankly i dont care if he is lying or not.. but you stating that you have proof when you really have none doesnt justify your whole argument in this thread..

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

canton -- i didn't read all of your post except for the first sentence. my argument is that it isn't true because i know it to be false. i don't need any more than that because i just don't care. this argument is silly because it doesn't matter, i just stated that they did in fact have a deal in place with reggie just so you guys know for reference.

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

Back on topic.

ps: actually, reggie gets the most yards when he runs up the middle.

I'll repeat what I said before. Reggie needs to get stronger to see his full potential. When I asked about his weight, you compared him to Brian Westbrook? - why? Brian is 5'10, Reggie is 6'. Though their weights are the same, Brian is shorter. So Brian has more muscle. Adrian Peterson is 6'1 - 217lbs. Adrian has more muscle. Tiki was 5'10 - 205lbs. Tiki had more muscle. Is the pattern clear?

For the second point, you said that Reggie gets most of his yards running up the middle. What? Reggie gets his yards in space, where his elusiveness can be employed. He gets his yards via trickery (draws, delays, end around, pitch out, etc) or via passes to the flat, screens, etc. He's not a power runner, never has been. He's just not strong enough to do the type of work Deuce or Pierre does.

But back to my original point... if he'll just fix that, just work on the weights instead of doing this free-floh-doh crap, then this kid will be truly amazing. He'll realize his full potential - which will make all this Mario talk go bye-bye.

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

LoE -- eh, you're splitting hairs with the hole 1-2 inches thing.

also, Reggies situational stats are proof that he runs better up the middle.
