Its a pretty big risk. Not one I would take with my best player on defense thats for sure.

Honestly, with someone like Mario Williams, the Texans should build their entire defense around him. He is obviously a better fit for the 4-3. Despite the change, I don't see much changing with their defense.

I understand the position, but there's a reason that 300 pound guys aren't projected as 3-4 linebackers... Size does matter. lol, Mario Williams isnt some fatass. and i think the argument can be made that no matter the aligment, he is still a DE |

I know that he isn't a fat ass, but you have to understand that he is literally the biggest linebacker in the NFL right now... Again, there is a reason that teams typically don't put 290 pound guys at linebacker.
... Especially two of them at once.

Especially two of them at once. im not advocating putting Watt at OLB, that was the other guy. if i had to bet a Texan would be DROY, id put my money on Brooks Reed because hes gonna get the opportunity to make the ESPN highlights. as far as Mario, if hes able to get anywhere near double digits sacks the conversion will be a success for him and Wade Phillips. if hes able to consistently draw a double and create pressure for those around him, the conversion will be a success for the unit. if i was a Texan fan, the only thing thatd have me worried was if he continued to look lost as far as being able to two gap from a two point stance into the regular season. he got fooled pretty badly on a draw play the other day. pass rushing doesnt worry me as much because hes still gonna be a DE in their nickel package. |

Like I said before, I think Mario is a freakish enough athlete that he could do it... But he is not really built to play off the edge in a 3-4. It's going to be a tough transition for him and I personally think it's a poor decision.

Niners passed on Culpepper and signed Josh McCown....The official "Suck 4 Luck" campaign has begun!!! The 49ers are doing their best to compile the biggest pile of dogpoop QB's ever. I dunno, the 04 trio of Tim Rattay, Ken Dorsey and Cody Pickett are right up there. |

It's going to be a tough transition for him and I personally think it's a poor decision. id agree, but not on the premise that he couldnt make the transition physically. if he fails, id think it would be because he wasnt able to learn the technique as far identifying run and pass. overall though, that unit wouldve been fine sticking with a 43. they sucked because they couldnt stop the pass or find a legit pass rusher for that DL outside of Mario. if theyd have stuck with a 43 and drafted Nick Fairley or Robert Quinn itd have been much better. but they decided to bring in Wade Phillips so we'll see how it goes |

Jets D-Line is gonna come back to bite their own asses. Not sure how they will do that since they only lost Ellis in the middle. Other then that the Defense is all still there. Just 2 new younger guys. |

Phillys corners arent gonna do anything if teams just run the ball on them.
