Mario Williams is "Fools Gold"

[Mouldsie]

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.

Hmm so tied for 3rd

Lol.

what cookie G and Talley said.

I don't know why Talley isn't in coaching.

I have a feeling Bruce would have been another Mario Williams if he didn't have Talley around. Talley was the one to kick him in the butt when he needed it.

If nothing else, I'd love for him to take Mario and Kyle Williams in a room and have a chat with them...

"Here's the deal... you have the tools to be elite...not to be paid elite, or fantasy-sack-stat-elite, but actually BE elite...HOF elite. But what you need is someone to kick you in the ass at times. That's where this guy comes in...he's going to be the role I played with Bruce....he'll tell you where to be, he'll tell you when you're slacking off...and you'll need to listen to him".

Something like that.

Talley was my favorite Bill... My nickname for him was "meat and potatoes" when he was playing.

Put him on the coaching staff, he'd still be my favorite Bill.

Funny... that's me lady's name for my babymaker.

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.

You're right I was looking at stats by position and Mario ranked higher among DEs but yes the definition is blurred these days. In terms of ecstatic I can't say I'm ready to give Mario a bust in Canton on his play this year but now that he appears healthy the defense on the whole is playing a whole lot better.

So Talley is a Doctor now? lmao

We already have enough coaches who have no idea what they are doing

No, he just pretty much knows when a guy has been going through the motions.

[HAMMER]

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

I win.

Watt made Mario expendable, if he wasn't there there would be plenty of lamenting.

[DraftBoy]

He does? So he's not a doctor but a mind reader? He's free to state an opinion, but that's all it is. Talley isn't out there at practice, or in the locker room, or even on the field for games. His guesses are more educated sure, but that doesn't mean they are 100% right either.

As for Talley coaching, no thanks. Same goes for Thurman, Kelly, Reed, and Smerlas. Great ambassadors but no interest in them as coaches.

[DraftBoy]

1 sack, 2 pressures, and a forced fumble midway through the 2nd Quarter.

Breaking news from the Dow.

Price of fools gold skyrockets amid rumors that Mario Williams is now the real deal (finally).

[JoeMama]

Whoops, looks like MW guilty of a dumb penalty to negate Gilmore's TD return.

[SquishDaFish]

Nope it wasnt Mario is was Moore

Thanks. I'm on a delayed feed watching the game. The commentators initially speculated that MW was the culprit.

That was Moore and the OL's hobby is soccer

Terrible call to take away 7.

Wow. He beat Barry Richardson, or was it Wayne Hunter on a play that Carrington moved the QB from the pocket. Find a DE in the league that HASN'T beaten Barry Richardson at least once a game.

I'll start carving his Canton bust.

When you guys keep bumping this thread, you're giving Coastal's original point validity.

Collecting stats against weak competition IS fool's gold.
