    Mario made only one play that stood out yesterday but he collapsed the pocket several times and hurried Henne several times. He was very good.

    Re: Mario Williams is "Fools Gold"

    Dude your an idiot. Just admit you were wrong (yes we all know he was overpaid.. but that was only way we were getting him)... He wasnt great early but since the surgery hes been great. Its not all about sacks. hes been getting pressure... tackling the rb behind the line and so forth. your either blind or just dumb.

    Tied for 8th, let's not get too carried away...but yes, I'm pleased with his performance since the surgery. I'm not ecstatic about it, but I'm happy with it.

    He's 3rd in sacks among Defensive Ends, depending on your definition of DEs these days.

    I wonder what's his dollar-per-sack figure?

    And what players they might have acquired, if not being saddled with his huge slice of the salary pie. :

    Gooooood question, Aguado.

    Who knows who they could've signed, but the fact that there's going to be a salary cap floor soon (next year) that's way higher than it used to be probably meant that we had to spend the money on someone. Mario was probably the best option for selling tickets.

    It's so short sighted for people to think that a good DE should be solely judged on his sack stats...

    Find me one Texans fan that laments the loss of Fool's Gold.

    I win.

    He had a tipped pass on a third down. A tackle for a four yard loss. He was responsible for getting the Bills D off the field on 4 drives.

    Not great competition, but he was an impact player.

    Re: Mario Williams is "Fools Gold"

    How many sacks since surgery, and where does he rank statwise in sacks since surgery?
    My faith doesn’t make me perfect, it makes me forgiven.

    He's got 6 sacks in 5 games since surgery, which is roughly 2/3rds of his total.

    In that span...

    Aldon Smith - 12 sacks (jesus..)
    JJ Watt - 6 sacks
    Von Miller - 9 sacks
    Cameron Wake - 3 sacks
    John Abraham - 3 sacks
    Demarcus Ware - 2.5 sacks
    Justin Houston - 4 sacks
    Geno Atkins - 2.5 sacks
    Clay Matthews - 2 sacks

    Those are the top 10 sack leaders so far this year.

    Yeah, well, his competition the last 3 weeks has been

    Jonathan Martin- a rookie whose draft stock fell when people started watching him;
    Winston Justice - the bust from Philly;
    Some 2nd year UFDA from Jax;

    I'll be impressed when he puts pressure on Brady. (14 scores, including 10 TD's in their last 19 drives against us, damn...).

    It isn't even about the $100 million contract with me...its the "oh look at him, he's an athletic freak!!" routine.

    The 6'6" 300 lb freak with the agility of a LB, yada, yada, yada.

    But apparently his Justice League, Superpower Ring only has enough athletic freak powers for 3 plays a game.


    He could be so much more if he wanted to.

    Anyways, here's what Talley had to say about him yesterday:

    Talley on the Bills' defensive line:

    "I thought they would be carried by their front, and they have not been. They paid a whole lot of money for two guys to rush the passer. The guys on the inside, they're holding their own. They're doing everything they can do.

    "I asked Bruce [Smith] early in the season. I've said, 'Dude, what do you think me and you would be doing right about now if we were in this boat?' He said, 'We'd be fighting.' "

    Asked to elaborate, Talley explained he was unsatisfied with how Mario Williams handled his wrist injury:

    "I don't think he's lived up to the hype. Don't tell me about being hurt and playing. I hope his wrist doesn't hurt like mine when he's done. But I just don't get it, man. At the end of the day, you're graded on what you do. If you're good enough to put a uniform on and step on the field, then you're fit to play. So you need to play at your level, whatever that may be.

    "I had three surgeries in one offseason and one six days before the season started and still made the Pro Bowl. I played every year through injuries and had surgeries after the offseason.

    "There ain't no such thing as being injured. You can be hurt; we all hurt. But you're not injured. We all got to play through it, and your performance can't slack off. I really don't think they hold each other accountable because, at the end of the day, they all go home to their nice, cushy house. What about what you're supposed to be doing on Sunday and Thursday and Monday? What do you think about, and it is just a passing thought?"


    On the other hand, he likes Kyle Moore's effort.

    "He's played his ass off. I don't think anybody's expected him to play as well as he's played. He's played very, very well. Here's a tweener, a linebacker who's a lot like Cornelius [Bennett] and I were -- between a defensive end and a linebacker. He can rush the passer. He's had, in my opinion, one of the best seasons of anybody on that front."
