"I don’t know if you saw it during the game, but he jumped over a back. I mean, (Hall of Fame linebacker) Rickey Jackson could do that, but I haven’t had many, especially at 280 pounds, that have that kind of athletic ability. That fired me up as much as anything. He can do those things, and if you can do those things, you can play."

Mario Williams will have 2 sacks and 6 tackles against the 49ers
Ha!!

I also saw him clear the center and guard when they had FG practice
The big guy can really jump!

Yeah that was really cool to see.
No question he’s an athletic freak and he can play at OLB despite what Pancakes or other fans think.
And as Wade said:
"He’s real close," Phillips said. "He had five rushes where he beat his guy clean last game. You’re not going to have many more than that with 20 passes that they threw. I like the way he’s playing.
He had his best game rushing the passer against the 49ers and I expect him to be even better week 1 and going forward.
Prediction: 11-5 AFC South champions.

I wonder if the backs on our schedule
are looking at that footage thinking, “how the hell am i supposed to stop this guy?”
I think two things:
1) this is not the first time that Mario has done this. He did it in his breakout game, the Thursday night NFLN game against the Broncos a few years ago on the way to one of his 3.5 sacks.
2) Wade is wrong. Pancakes said that Mario looked worse against the Niners. How could Pancakes be wrong? It has to be Wade who is wrong here.

Fapjacks might, just might, be wrong.
Try to get your head around it. Do it slowly. Have some iced tea.
I submit that it is possible, just possible, that using an extremely large, strong and athletic player in the manner that takes best advantage of those attributes might be a way to maximize his value.
Does anyone remember the early Mario days where everyone was all aflutter about the how Mario wasn’t used to playing from a 3 point stance? How that might be impossible for him? And now we’re hearing the exact opposite.
I’ll go out on a limb – Mario is, by midseason, going to be a dominant player at his position. Not good, dominant.

I listened to that a few days ago.
I figured we had killed him enough so didn’t bring it up.
Although he really didn’t retract it so much as he simply restated his criticism in a different way.
Prediction: 11-5 AFC South champions.
It's funny.
I used to really enjoy listening to him some years ago. He at least seemed more switched on than the radio guys, seemed to know what the buzz around the league was. You could learn stuff from him about how players were perceived around the NFL, what coaches were under fire, etc. Now there’s just not much of that at all it seems.
What happened? Did he get too old for job? Is he ill? Did all his grapevine retire, or get fired by other papers? It’s like he’s one of those grumpy homer sportscasters now. The ones that gripe about the best players all the time.
The rule of thumb is generally this: your best players are generally not your problem. Your worst players are. Expecting lots more from Andre Johnson is silly, for example. How much more is there left to do – a HOF Jerry Rice season? And you’re expecting that? Why not expect corners to turn and run with their covers properly, rather than all-time greatness from an already superb player?

Personally
I think it’s because we’re smart enough to call bullshit now. We KNOW all that insider crap they brag about is total bullshit. How often are they correct about that sort of thing? Plus, they told us what THEY wanted us to hear, not what was necessarily factual. Just look at today’s walk-back: does that happen without people calling him out on Twitter? No way.
We see more clearly now because their imposed filter of their own world view upon us is disappearing, if not gone. People like Pancakes will either adapt or continue to lose credibility.

But I have to say, DVR has been out for a while now. Loser Dedicated fans such as ourselves take a second look before we opine on the subject. Yes, there are occasional BRBers who get that knee-jerk reaction when a pass is completed in Kareem Jackson’s general direction and it’s “ALL HIS FAULT! HE SUCKS DONKEY CACK!”
But, for the most part, we’ve evolved as decent play-by-play analysts (as you mentioned). However, if we get it wrong, well….we’re just misinformed fans. We can still go to our regular jobs and earn a living. Our errant conclusions on all things Houston Texans related doesn’t affect what we do to eat and put a roof over our heads. Do we make mistakes at our jobs? Yeah, who doesn’t, but in Pancakes case, he can’t afford to fire from the hip by looking at a stat sheet or listening for a name during a radio broadcast. It’s his job to be right almost 100% of the time because of the massive amounts of cynicism aimed in his (and all other journalists) general direction.
If Pancakes was right 99% of the time, then you’d see a bevy of respect thrown his way by the BRBers. I mean, don’t we do that with LZ most of the time and he doesn’t work for the Texans. LZ covers a wide variety of sports, whereas Pancakes is like a kicker or punter; he’s got one job to do for the most part. I’m sorry, but Pancakes needs to pack his shit and leave. We need new blood writing for the Chronicle and covering the Texans.

that is a good point on the blocking
I know it’s somewhat of an irrelevant thing to watch for, but I’m expecting some significant returns off of turnovers this year. We have some real athleticism in our big guys for a change (especially if Cody isn’t on the field) and I like the idea of GQ/Manning/JoJo running behind a wedge consisting of Mario, Antonio, JJ, Barwin, Cush & Meco.
I’m trying to not drink too much koolaid here, but it really looks like we might hurt someone on defense this year (not “hoping” for it though), and not like a Pollard cheap shot either

Well I have to give credit where credit is due. I'd prefer Earl Mitchell at NT
But Cody had a pretty decent game against the 49ers. Yes, it’s the 49ers but he had 3 tackles and half of a batted down pass. He really didn’t get abused either by oline men
Mario Williams will have 2 sacks and 6 tackles against the 49ers
Cody was decent in the 49r's game
I am not his fan, but I will admit that
Mario Williams will have 4 sacks and 1 int by Game 4 of the regular season.

Place your bets! How many of the following for Mario ON A PER GAME BASIS?
Sacks: 1.5
Hurries: 3
Kills: 9
Interceptions: .25
TDs: .10
Forced Fumbles: .3

definitely over on the kills
I would love to see him go over on sacks but that’s going to be tough. If he gets 12+ that’s already a good/great season, and as we have seen this preseason he is going to have some competition for those sacks between JJ, Antonio, Barwin, Mitchell and Reed. Oh and we haven’t even seen GQ or anyone in the secondary blitz yet — I’m betting the Glove gets at least a couple of sacks in this system.
Whomever gets snaps as the Nickle CB
Should get 2-4 sacks. He likes to send that guy on a blitz a couple times a game from the strong side. I’m hoping this will be #26

agreed
Harris is my wish for nickle. My ideal situation – KJax decidedly earns + keeps the #2 CB spot and Harris in the nickle, so that Allen can rotate between CB & Safety giving us quality depth at both spots
Little chickens
Mario is a 4-3 DE…there is no way he can be an OLB….See, after two whole preseason games, he hasn’t broken any NFL records……blah blah blah.
Although it is way to early to pronounce any sort of judgement, it looks like having a really athletic, uber powerful 280 lb guy very fired up to play OLB is a good thing. Particularly when coached by a near-legend DC.
Apparently, this is surprising to some folks.

mario reminds me of the water boy.
when he chased the QB who was talking bout his momma or whatever it was
I'll take the 15yd penalty
if he power bombs Peyton Manning.

Sadly, now that I have built my home theater, it is actually more appealing to watch the game at home.
The view is better and the parking is cheaper.

After reading the comments,
no one got a chubby about Wade comparing Mario to Rickey Jackson?

Bring back Aaron Brooks! He's the only one who can save us from the evil that is Drew Brees!!
I think it was implied.
