[If you thought wholesale changes were on the way for the Texans, you're going to be disappointed. There apparently won't be a single significant change on the coaching staff or in the front office. Don't expect any flashy free-agent signings, either.] We're not one player away, ... We have to keep making good, steady progress. |
Being able to take the best players available is the way to have your best draft. Based on what we've been able to do so far, that's the way we're headed right now. |
David's a good player and a class individual. We had a great visit with him. We'd love to have him. We made him an offer, but they declined it. |
Davis, through hard work, has improved his play from the first day he arrived with the Texans, and we feel confident he will continue to flourish in the years to come. |
Gary was tremendous to work with. His preparation for the draft was the most thorough of any coach I've worked with. Gary had a good feel for personnel on offense and defense. He communicated clearly what he wanted at each position. The scouts had a clear picture of what he wanted, and don't underestimate how important that is going into a draft. |
He's a great athlete who's been very productive. He's a tremendous runner. The thing he's got going is that leadership and competitiveness. |
He's coming off a knee injury, but the bottom line is he's going to be here and he's going to play, so you've got a player already there that's proven. |
His rehab from the knee has gone along excellent, ... He's running now, and we'll continue to monitor the situation. |
I have him rated higher than Peppers. If Reggie Bush wasn't in this draft, Mario Williams would be head and shoulders the first pick. |
I haven't spoken with him yet, but I will. |
I hope this young man realizes before the draft that he needs to run. Or I hope he's made a deal with a team that's going to take him in the first round. |
I think if people had just listened to what we had said, they would have seen that we were serious about Mario Williams. Once we brought him in here our statements never changed that we were seriously considering him for the first pick in the draft and I understand that people didn't believe it, but we always said it and we believed it. |
I think it will probably be April before this thing gets serious. |
I think that if Reggie Bush wasn't in this draft, Mario Williams would be head and shoulders the first pick in this draft. What you have ... is a pass rusher who has unique size and speed for the position. He's almost 6-foot-7 and runs a 4.7 (40-yard dash). Vertical jump is exactly the same as Reggie Bush and he's 90 pounds heavier. |
I was told that's an inaccurate report from a very good source. |
