Sad day for texans fans; happy days for opponents.

I hated finding out about this because I consider myself a fan of his. Plus, Houston was looking good, and the NFL needed them to actually become productive. I posted it in the weekly thread, but thanks for creating this topic, because it deserves it own like many other post that get posted in the stickies.

I think they will still make the playoffs but this really hurts them. I wonder if his days as a Texan are over. I doubt it, because I imagine he will get franchised, but he is a FA next year.

yeah tight situation. free agent year and he gets injured early in the season. injuries suck! and i was really excited to watch mario as a linebacker only to have his season end early on a freak injury. Well i guess were about to see what 2nd round pick Brooks Reed is made of.

This hurts the team almost as much psychologically as it does on the field. This team has a fragile confidence and losing Williams really hurts that. They think a great deal of him, a lot more than the national media is aware. He's been pretty good at rushing the passer this year but he's been lousy against the run and in coverage, so the on-field impact is probably not as severe as it appears.

Brooks Reed gets the bulk of the replacment work but don't sleep on Brian Braman getting some action as well.
