The Texans drafted Mario Williams to get Peyton Manning, but considering the puny pass rush he’s provided over the first half of the season, that doesn’t seem possible when they play at Indianapolis on Sunday.
Williams is supposed to be one of the most feared NFL pass rushers, but he has fewer sacks at the midway point than any season of his career.
Williams has three sacks, one more than Jeff Zgonina, 39, who was the oldest defensive starter in the league until New England linebacker Junior Seau came out of retirement more than Brett Favre.
Williams’ injured shoulder must be much worse than the Texans are telling us. How else do you explain 39 players having more sacks than the top pick of the 2006 draft?
Now, let’s be fair. We know Williams has a shoulder injury — a bruise, we’re told. He’s missed a little practice time, but he toughs it out and plays.
If Williams disappears at Indianapolis like he disappeared at Buffalo, the Texans will have to call the cops and put out an APB.
In the Texans’ 31-10 victory at Buffalo, 16 players had at least one tackle. Williams wasn’t one of them.
The defensive linemen combined for 11 tackles. Williams contributed none.
