I am a long time fan of teams with great defenses \u2013 New York Giants and the current Jacksonville Jaguars.  Houston learned what Jack Del Rio already knows.  To beat the Colts, a big front line is the first step toward a division championship.  Would Reggie Bush have helped this Sunday?  Might have been closer, but no, not at all.  I have to watch the pathetic Texans play every weekend and I am very happy that Williams is a member of the front line.  The Jaguars have a great record against the Colts because they have big Marcus Stroud and John Henderson (Big John Henderson to his fans) anchoring a solid defensive front.<\/p>\n<p>So the Texans made the wise football decision if they want to build a contender.  Williams may or may not be a bust (jury is still way, way out as of today), but Houston made the same decision I would make if winning the division is a goal of the franchise.<\/p>\n<div class=\"addtoany_share_save_container addtoany_content_bottom\"><div class=\"a2a_kit a2a_kit_size_ addtoany_list a2a_target\" id=\"wpa2a_1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/share\" onclick=\"__gaTracker('send', 'event', 'outbound-article', 'https:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/share', '');\" class=\"a2a_dd addtoany_share_save\"><img src=\"http:\/\/www.calvertgames.com\/cgblog\/wp-content\/plugins\/add-to-any\/share_save_171_16.png\" width=\"171\" height=\"16\" alt=\"Share\"\/><\/a>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\"><!--\nif(wpa2a)wpa2a.script_load();\n\/\/--><\/script>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For all of those pundits out there that think Houston should have picked Reggie Bush, please take a good look at the Texans\u2019 roster.
