Houston Texans: Still think they made a mistake taking Mario Williams?
Mario Williams just wrapped up a 3.5 sack game tonight against the Broncos, giving him 13 on the season (2nd in the NFL). He’s been a dominant pass rusher and, unlike many of today’s pass rushers, has the size to consistently stop the run. It seems that the Texans got absolutely filleted when they chose Williams over Reggie Bush and Vince Young last April. Yet, I wonder if as many people would say it was a mistake in retrospect.
Reggie Bush has struggled mightily and is now injured; while the Texans could use a feature back history tells us it’s far easier to find a productive runner than a dominant pass rusher. And while Vince Young still has many believers, he’s struggled at times this year while the Texans appear to have not one, but TWO above average passers on the roster. Sage Rosenfels has played extremely well, and while Matt Schaub has battled injuries, it would be hard to argue the combination of those two isn’t a decent option.
